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. [...]

ABSTRACT Energy is the substance of life. Without the understanding of energy, medical professionals cannot possibly comprehend the significant role that energy plays in medicine. We could not imagine a hospital today without the diagnostic capabilities of X-Ray, MRI, EEG, and EKG. All of these techniques measure and report the energy of a particular part of the body. The author’s hope is that this article will widen the reader’s perspective, understanding, and use of Energy Medicine which, ideally, should complement patient care. Keywords: Energy Medicine, Electromagnetism, Biofeedback, Focused Field [...]

Concept and Practice I. Introductory Remarks For 150 years we have lived with a world view which is shaped in a significant manner by the knowledge of mechanics and chemistry, the scientific bases that quite substantially determine modern civilization. In spite of the enormous advances in knowledge in the area of electronics, this usual world view is hardly shaken up. Especially in medicine there are many innovations in diagnostics that show the influence of modern physics. However the new findings from biology about the physical-energetic [...]

Energetic Principles of Light and Color Color Light Therapy is a part of the modern device supported procedures in the naturopathic practice. Its origins are old because color light therapy originally arose from Heliotherapy (helios, Greek = sun), the medical treatment with sunlight. Physically light and color are well defined. Sunlight is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and consists of approximately 42% infrared light (“thermal radiation”), 51% visible light and about 6% ultraviolet light (UV-light). The light we can see [...]

The Many Uses of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy This issue is focused on clinical applications, and my topic is the use of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. I use the Medisend Super III in my practice, and it is in almost continuous use throughout the day. One of the major uses is for allergy therapy. I have combined the Medisend with Sensitivity Removal Technique as outlined by Sherri Tenpenney, DO. Instead of using acupressure, I use PEMF as the treatment. I have [...]

Preface  In this article I would like to pass on some of the observations that I have been able to make during the past thirty-eight years. Having reached the age of seventy I am in the lucky position of being able to choose to retire if I so wish but before doing so I would like to share some of the things that I have learned over the years. Having completed a five year training in classical Chinese acupuncture I was lucky to be invited by Dr. Reinhold Voll [...]

Not Only Successful for Allergy Therapy BioResonance Therapy has been established in Germany for over 20 years. This method is certainly best known for the treatment of allergies, but other operational areas were also established long ago. BioResonance Therapy belongs to the procedures of regulative medicine; it is designed to balance disturbed functional processes. After all, functions like body temperature (fever!), immune defense, digestion, metabolism or heartbeat, must be adjusted constantly for actual demands. Additionally, the body transmits biological information constantly and in different ways. [...]

The following article was presented as a lecture by Dr. Nienhaus at the IPABM International Symposium for Biocybernetic Medicine as held in Bad-Homburg, Germany on June 3-6, 2010. The theme of that meeting was: Classic Bioresonance methods (MORA-Therapy) and its importance for medical practice. Classic bioresonance methods (cbrm) has taken an enormous progress since its development by Dr. Morell and Erich Rasche in 1977 exactly like the common technical evolution. The cbrm is rightly described as an “electronic homeopathy”. The treatment with this works on the energy system propagated [...]
