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 [...]

Policy Statement Regarding Med-Tronik and MORA Therapy You will have read my personal letter regarding the closure of Occidental Institute with the very careful reference to “external but inalterable changes to our commercial distributorship contracts representing the loss of our major financial fund-raising ability”. Sadly, the outcome of those changes has now become irrevocable. Because you are a supporter and friend of OIRF, I would like to make a clear statement to you regarding those events and changes. Over the past ten years, and since the registration of the [...]

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 [...]
