Monday, 11 June 2018 Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of OIRF, Welcome to the Volume 14, Final Issue #6 of “The Bridge” newsletter! Welcome, but as you can see from my linked personal letter and announcement, also a fond farewell both to “The Bridge” and to OIRF. Although stressful and in many ways heartbreaking over the past few weeks, I finally feel comfortable that we have made the right decisions. Now, I am looking forward to the end of June and the end of this wonderful company that has [...]

11 June 2018 RE: Announcement Regarding Occidental Institute My Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of OIRF, Today I write to you with mixed feelings. We here at OIRF have passed through another one of those crossroads in time that change our pathway into the future forever. This transition has been a long time in the making but has been hurried to a conclusion after external but inalterable changes to our commercial distributorship contracts representing the loss of our major financial fund-raising ability. Within a few short weeks OIRF would [...]

Carolyns Comments March 15, 2018 There has been a series of articles on BioResonance recently published in several of the German journals, and I will bring as many of them to you as possible. The author works with an alternate bioresonance device which is not recommended by OIRF. However, they claim to be “just like a MORA” or “better than MORA”, so obviously their information will easily apply to the original and classical BioResonance devices made by the Med-Tronik Company. To reiterate from past Carolyn rants, our reasoning for [...]

Tuesday, 30 January 2018 Happy New Year 2018 Happy New Year everyone! And welcome to the beginning of another exciting and busy year of events, activities, newsletters and of course the annual Biological Medicine Tour program to Germany. I have to admit that this past year has had more than it’s share of adventure and disruption and I’m really looking forward to getting everything back into routine and actually getting caught up after all the changes. Between the move last summer, the Germany Tour program in the Fall and [...]

Points of Interest In amongst the “Special Mention” and “Of Interest” items for this Issue of “The Bridge”, the facts and theories about the number of deaths among natural and holistic doctors continue to be bandied about on a number of websites and within the media (alternative and even some mainstream). While attending the ACIM conference in Florida in September I was surprised and curious about a number of well known cancer and natural docs who were accompanied by bodyguards. It kind of threw me when one of our [...]

February 2017 As I’ve thought about and grieved the loss of Prof. Dr. Ivan Engler in recent days, I once again became retrospective about the changes in this marvelous field of complementary medicine that we share. As I watched the Grammy’s the other night I was engrossed by the beautiful music of John Legend while they presented the names of those we lost over the past year. Typical stuff in so many ways. But then they mentioned Pete Fountain. From within my era, training and love of music I [...]

Date: 22 April 2016 From: Ted Cole, DO, OIRF Medical Advisor RE: UVLRX mentioned in Vol. 12, Issue #4 Through the years I have been a strong proponent of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, and have used several machines with excellent results. The new unit by UVLrx Therapeutics is quite intriguing, but also has some areas of concern. The machine is currently being used under an IRB. I have been part of a few IRB studies, and I can attest that good results in an IRB does not automatically result in [...]

The complete history of Monsanto; the world’s most EVIL corporation staffed by society’s most hate-filled people. by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor (NaturalNews) How much do you really know about Monsanto beyond the fact that the corporation is extremely evil? Most people's knowledge of Monsanto barely scratches the surface. Monsanto [...]

As Occidental Institute has worked, struggled and survived through 43 years of research and education in the fields of Acupuncture (TCM) and Biological Medicine we have witnessed, and often participated in, several cycles of acceptance and persecution that have directly affected patients, practitioners and educators. Within the Naturopathic community we have seen a strong shift to “prescribing”. Studying is done, exams are taken and that coveted permission to prescribe medications, supplements and homeopathics is achieved. In many ways this is closer to the traditional practices of the German Heilpraktikers. [...]
