May 2021 As we roll into this third week of May 2021 we are marking Week #61 since the start of the pandemic lockdowns and restrictions. In spite of the vaccine rollouts, many countries remain controlled under ever tighter and more restrictive regulations, while others appear to be easing almost completely. It is definitely confusing, but more than anything frustrating for those of us willing, able and ready to move forward. I would like to think that we are finally turning a corner since the virus should naturally lessen [...]

14 April 2021 Dear Colleagues and Friends, April showers, along with springtime sunshine and flowers beckon all of us in Canada and several other countries as we face ever tighter and more restrictive regulations around the so-called pandemic. I cannot help but wonder why the authorities repeat the ineffective policy of lockdowns and restrictions over and over again, but yet still expect a different result. As more and more people question or protest these restrictive policies, we can watch a greater escalation of the fear and propaganda leading toward [...]

A Challenge in a Question, A Two Part Report on the TFIM Conference, by Carolyn Winsor: A commentary concerning what we can discuss with our patients concerning the current virus vaccines; a Part I report with highlights regarding the Forum for Integrative Medicine Online Conference held March 5-7, 2021; and, a Part II TFIM report and commentary on the brilliant presentation and question by Dr. Theoharis Theoharides called From COVID-19 to Autism; The Role of Cytokine Storms in Chronic Inflammatory Conditions. A Challenge in a [...]

18 Feb 2021 Dear Colleagues and Friends, As the winter storms and virus restrictions continue throughout Canada and the USA, “moving on” seems to be the new motto. There are many changes in all aspects of our lives and practices, and the restrictions appear to grow ever tighter and more controlling. For now the biggest news is the “vaccines” that will “end the pandemic and protect us all”. And, as before in either politics or pandemic, we see that any voice or organization who disagrees – or, for goodness [...]

Politics, pandemics, censorship and ongoing restrictions. All topics front and center on the mainstream media. As the political winds in the USA swing strongly in favor of “science” (read “chemistry”), Big Pharma and western orthodox medicine, it is once again time for us to take a stand. As I have commented previously, quietly continuing our alternative practice without making our voices heard will leave us without choices, without options and without the ability to obtain the remedies, devices and information that we need to continue effectively treating our patients. [...]

November 2020 Again this month, we continue to wait for the unfolding drama of the US election to resolve. Uncertainty is the overwhelming sensation as we are all plagued with questions. Political and economic factors will only be resolved as it is made clear which one of the two men will attain that powerful position as U.S. president. It seems regardless of who that is, there will be unrest, possible violence and a terrible division between the people of that nation. I would normally shy away from making comments [...]

Chronos or Kairos? Which have you chosen? October 2020 Time rolls onward in a return to the state of Chronos as we continue through this p(l)andemic. Has that time of Kairos – that time of momentous change – missed us? For now the medical and political “authorities” seem all revved up with useless restrictions and regulations for the “deadly second wave” as all of us suffer from COVID overload – in the words of our so concise Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau “this pandemic sucks”. Dealing with the overwhelming [...]

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 [...]
