January 2015 In view of our continued emphasis on devices and instrument assisted methods following the discontinuation of so many homeopathic and natural remedies, here once again is a copy of our instrumentation policies. It is worth repeating since sales of devices represent our biggest fund raising activity for OIRF, and also because of our commitment to providing you with the information you need to make an informed decision about purchases. As stated in those policies, our recommendations are based not just on the claimed function of the device, [...]

During the recent A4M conference in Las Vegas it was my great pleasure to meet and talk with so many practitioners and exhibitors. Especially supportive was to hear: “Carolyn, wow. It’s so good to see you again” from docs who had been members in years past and were renewing their connection to OIRF after long time work within our field. Also encouraging were the “networking” possibilities with colleagues and supporters. As a result of those new and re-newed connections it is my great pleasure to announce two new members [...]

Tuesday, 20 January 2015 Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of OIRF, As we assess 2014 and get set to begin another new year, I trust that you are filled with optimism and plans that will take your practice to the next level of success. It has certainly been an interesting year here at Occidental Institute as we successfully instituted the many changes on our “to do lists” from this time last year. I am thrilled to be working with practitioners and researchers who have endeavored to present us with [...]

The protocol is in 3 parts and is aimed at making a very individualised remedy for the patient. It is somewhat complex to follow but if you, the reader, follow it through in front of the MORA then it should make sense. Please note that D double bar does not bring us back to D. D double inversion appears to work differently from both D and D inversion. All testing is done using the Vega test. * Part 1 The aim of this part is [...]

Comments from the Director During preparation of the last 2014 Issues of “The Bridge” I found that in several of our recent Issues there has been a lot of emphasis on instrumentation. I have commented several times previously that I foresee an increase in the use of this kind of instrumentation as we move into 2015 and beyond due to the changing regulations and registrations of the many European (German) remedies that we have come to rely on. How does the practitioner maintain a natural or biological medicine approach [...]

As I finalized my preparations for the forthcoming 41st Biological Medicine Tour to Germany, I was reminded of the many amazing practitioners and researchers that have presented their work and findings to the groups over the years. We have seen and heard so many of the “greats” that it is almost impossible to remember and list them all. One of our greatest challenges in organizing these tour programs is to make sure that we separate the wheat from the chaff (as the saying goes) to ensure that the participants [...]

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 [...]

Finally! Follow this link to see the study completed, published and recognized for MORA Therapy and Smoking Cessation as published in the prestigious “Forschende Komplementärmedizin” journal [this is a very expensive and commercially oriented journal to which as a non-profit OIRF is unable to afford to subscribe]. This highly effective method has been in use for a number of years, and we are thrilled to see it receive the recognition it deserves: www.karger.com/Article/FullText/365742 A Special Announcement for OIRF Supporters From THE BRIDGE Newsletter of OIRF Published September [...]
