Web Watch Article submitted by Dr. Brian L. MacCoy, September 2008 Remedies as Placebos: A Double-Edged Sword: “I do not believe and have never taught that homeopathy is the only way to heal people or the best way for everyone. But the usual argument that remedies are merely placebos cuts both ways. In the first place, it is plain wrong, since the method also has an impressive track record in the treatment of animals, newborn babies, and comatose patients, for whom the influence of suggestion is presumably negligible. Second, [...]

Web Watch Article Submitted by Dr. Sir Zenon W. Gruba, September 2008 Understanding the “L-Form” Bacteria Targeting the Cause of Inflammatory Disease In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a paper stating, “Infectious agents have emerged as notable determinants, not just complications, of chronic diseases. To capitalize on these opportunities, clinicians, public health practitioners, and policymakers must recognize that many chronic diseases may indeed have infectious origins.” Multiple studies have shown that when Beta-lactam antibiotics are applied to wild-type bacteria in a Petri dish, small [...]

FAQ’s MORA Basic Therapy and Quadrant Values The importance of basic therapy cannot be over-emphasised. If treatment of a patient’s complaint is to be effective and long lasting then it is essential to bring the four body quadrants back into balance in the normal range. If this is not done then the effects of therapy are likely to be disappointing. It is like building a house without foundations. Basic therapy goes some way to bringing about this balance. However, basic therapy alone will not rectify many quadrant imbalances but [...]

Web Watch June 2008 1. U. S. Government Concedes Vaccines Cause Autism The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the federal agency that oversees the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recently conceded the first vaccine-autism case. This case was filed in the no-fault National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program as part of the Autism Omnibus proceedings in the U.S. Federal Court of Claims. It was one of the first three cases chosen that alleged Thimerosal in childhood vaccines [...]

MORA takes another step toward Canadian Registration! Recently the Med-Tronik firm underwent their regular ISO audit for manufacture of medical devices under the 13485 medical requirements. Needless to say, they passed with flying colors and copies of the new certificates will be available shortly. One short note from Mrs. Gaby Alexander at Med-Tronik reads as follows: “Up until now all our amplifiers including the SuperAmp were regarded as accessories. During our audit that declaration was subject to query by both auditors present and resulted in the fact that the [...]

Sugar Substitutes May Contribute to Weight Gain By Randy Dotinga, HealthDay Reporter HealthDay MONDAY, Feb. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Surprising research suggests a popular artificial sweetener has the unexpected and unwelcome effect of packing on the pounds. Purdue researchers report that saccharin altered the ability of rats to control their appetites. However, the head of an artificial sweetener trade group scoffed at the findings, saying they don't necessarily translate to humans. "We found that the rats that were getting artificially sweetened yogurt gained more weight and ate more food," [...]

Note from Carolyn: The author of this piece is unknown. It is simply an article that was making the e-mail rounds on the internet. I cannot personally vouch for the authenticity of the claims, but we all know that Aspartame is simply what the title indicates. All of you as testers should know this already, but it bears repeating. I remember Walter’s comments concerning this chemical: “A person can consume one small packet of Aspartame – or any of the chemical sweeteners, but especially Aspartame – in a cup [...]

Commentary submitted by Dr. Brian L. Mac Coy August 28, 2007 Two German physicists claim to have done the impossible and broken the speed of light. If their claims are confirmed, they will have proved wrong Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, which requires an infinite amount of energy to propel an object at more than 299,792,458 meters per second. However Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, from the University of Koblenz, say they have possibly breached a key tenet of that theory. They say they have conducted [...]

Commentary submitted by Dr. Brian L. Mac Coy The field of physics worships at the altar of c, the velocity of light. It is widely regarded as the inviolate constant which affects all things: from our knowledge of astronomy to the very behavior of subatomic particles. The idea that the speed of light is constant and unbreachable is at the foundation of modern physics and it is a key factor in Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, which led to his deduction E=mc2 (in which the total amount of [...]

“Do we hesitate lest the wrath laid upon Jack Kevorkian visit our young and vulnerable profession?” For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven . . . (1) I was listening out of the corner of my ear to National Public Radio the other morning when my attention was snagged by an interview with one particular author. His fictional plot is rather audacious, involving an unusual legislative solution to the social and economic impact of aging baby boomers: voluntary euthanasia. This is not [...]
