September, 2020 As summer fades and fall brings changing colors and rainy days, I have wondered how long we, as a people, will continue to relinquish our freedom and grant authority to unelected health authorities under the pretense of safety and protection. Along with almost everyone, I have resigned myself to wearing a face covering in many public situations and whenever meeting clients and patients; waiting in lines six feet apart just to enter the bank; and, registering in the “guest book” to enter a restaurant. Travel has been [...]

August 2020 The flood of information regarding the virus situation continues non-stop, and it frequently becomes a struggle to step back from the day-to-day detail or to perceive the broader global picture. Additionally, because of the powerful censorship of all alternative or divergent information and the ongoing public relations exercise of the mainstream media, it is difficult to peer around behind. I frequently think back to the “early days” of this crisis that has consumed our attention since the beginning of 2020, and wonder how everything has gone so [...]

Must we accept? Must we adjust? Should we – or are we allowed to – question the restrictions? It is obvious that we are universally being manipulated and controlled, since no one is allowed to speak or write any opposing opinion to that which is being force-fed through the mainstream media. We are all supposed to believe that the unending and tragic statistics blared across our TVs and electronic media represent the only truth – and the whole truth – about this virus. For most people, this is their [...]

Editorial News from the Virus Quagmire Dear Readers, You can no longer avoid the topic; it controls the world. Every day in Africa countless children still starve, desperate refugees stand at the gates to Europe (strictly speaking, why is there no pandemic there?), but this is all nothing versus the Corona danger . . . because of fear of the spread of the virus the world has pressed STOP. The consequence of this is that Greta Thunberg has become jobless, because if it continues this way, we will have [...]

May 2020 Announcements and Updates 22 June 2020 Dear Colleagues and Friends, It has been a busy and tumultuous few months and I wonder what will happen next. I continue to spend time watching the events and changes that are taking place so rapidly, and to consider how they will affect us as biological and energy healers. I cannot help but feel that it is during this kind of chaos and crisis, that we can most strongly make ourselves heard while we demonstrate just how effective our methods are. [...]

May 2020 Announcements and Updates 13 May 2020 Dear Colleagues and Friends, Looking back on these first eventful and traumatic months of 2020 has taught me to be careful what I wish for. I have carefully followed the recent changes to the global regulations and restrictions on natural and alternative methods, and have found my commentaries and editorials becoming more and more concerned. As this year began there were indications that the challenges around working with these methods were being reduced, as we saw various organizations move away from [...]

“Turn! Turn! Turn!*” A Time of Consideration A4M Anti-Aging or Complementary & Energy Medicine Medical vs Wellness or Physical/Chemical vs Energy Can We Use Energetic Assessments to Guide Therapy and Move Toward “Wellness”? I have taken some time after returning from the A4M Conference in Las Vegas, NV during December 2019 and over the recent holiday period for a great deal of personal introspection. My mind has been spinning with the input of exceptional information and the considerations of the consequences of the ever-encroaching regulative restrictions. Like the contradictions [...]

Considerations and Resolutions for New Global 2020 Medical Device Regulations One of my strongest interests this year, was to determine where the complementary “medical” device industry was headed. As you know from my articles following the 2018 Med-Week Congress the scuttlebutt was all centered around the looming restrictive regulation and certification procedures. The necessity to incorporate that bar code onto each device and related accessory (even cables) meant they would no longer be able to export any device into a country where the device was not registered with the [...]

I’ve watched with interest – and a dose of horror – as the vaccination controversy has once again exploded in our province of British Columbia, Canada. As of this morning there are 15 “new” cases of measles diagnosed and reported here. I wonder how many of those ill children were previously vaccinated, but so far no one has answered that part of the equation. Within just a week’s time, the news is flooded with reports of 10’s of thousands of anxious parents signing petitions demanding mandatory inoculations. Our provincial [...]

14 August 2018 Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of the former Occidental Institute, It has now been several weeks since the doors of Occidental Institute Research Foundation made that final closing “kathunk” and freed me from all its business and corporate obligations and responsibilities. Although they tell me I’m supposed to be “retired” I haven’t been idle. It does however take time and some thoughtful introspection to look at the future possibilities and consider how I will go forward into this next chapter of my life. During these weeks [...]
