Borreliosis –in the media it is raged like a deadly beast as incurable. Nevertheless, most information which circulates to such an extent about this illness is absolutely wrong, claims our author Marlene Kunold. For many years she has specialized in the treatment of chronic borreliosis and is known for her highly successful cures. For raum&zeit she explains how she proceeds with the treatment of this new plague, and at the same time what meaning a new light therapy has. Borreliosis patients [...]

As we approach the end of another year and suffer the loss of yet another pioneer, I felt compelled to repeat once again why those tried and true methods that Dr. Walter Sturm used in his busy but highly specialized practice continue to be recommended so strongly by OIRF. And primarily, it is because these are the methods and techniques that have allowed so many practitioners to build a long term successful practice! Join with me as I take you on a verbal tour of Dr. Sturm’s office and [...]

The Crisis in Biological Medicine in North America Over the past few years we have witnessed the continuing losses of the men and women who pioneered this field of Biological Medicine, and who have struggled so hard to find, research and apply those methods which are most effective. However even in light of these losses, I cannot yet see where the “next generation” – the “younger” practitioners – are stepping forward to take on the research work necessary to support the continuation of these methods into the future. Think [...]

Using Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Allergy is one of those topics that generate a great deal of debate. There is even disagreement about basics, such as what allergies are, the mechanisms of allergy reactions, methods of testing, etc. I am not going to address these issues here, as there are volumes of information available. Rather, I am going to present a brief description of a method of therapy I’ve developed by combining and expanding two separate approaches. Sensitivity Removal Technique (SRT) [...]

Introduction: Since the causal connection between the papillomavirus and cervical cancer was investigated, such a [connection] also seems to exist with other tumor and virus types. On the other hand, the use of “vaccination viruses” in the tumor fight is also explored in the framework of virus therapy. Oncolytic viruses are able to increase selectively in the tissues of the tumors and metastases and to attack these. An effective point of attack could also be identified by the evidence of stem cells in the tumor conglomerate. For virus therapy [...]

Stuart Craig Wagstaff, ND * March 15, 1955 – † September 27, 2012 This year Craig celebrated 30 years of naturopathic practice. He was a rare and gifted man who positively influenced the lives of thousands of people with his knowledge, wisdom and caring. He humbly gave of his time, scholarship and mentorship to any and all he encountered. Craig was a lifelong learner who travelled the world seeking knowledge that would benefit his patients. Craig was a specialist amongst naturopaths and was a sought after lecturer and teacher [...]

Reflections on the Occidental Institute Symposium and Advanced Biological Medicine By Gary M. Verigin, DDS, CTN (Symposium Lecturer) One of the best things about attending the Occidental Institute’s 40th anniversary symposium in Vancouver, BC, this past June was re-connecting with Carolyn Winsor-Sturm. She’s the Institute’s managing director and CEO, and also an old friend and mentor. In fact, my journey in biological dental medicine began with her and her late husband, Dr. Walter Sturm. The Occidental Institute Research Foundation (OIRF) was the first organization in [...]

In previous contributions to “The Bridge” I have written mainly about EAV techniques. In this article I would like to talk about the possibilities offered by the Index scales of the VEGATEST. I am very aware that most readers probably use the VEGATEST rather than EAV. Neither test is superior to the other but they both complement each other very well and a well-rounded practitioner should be able to handle both tests with equal facility. EAV has the advantage of dealing with raw measurement data [...]

The Bürgi Principle* is promising to use and to combine Rhus Toxicodendron (Toxicodendron quercifolium) The regulation ability of our organism depends on the balance between proteolysis and protease inhibition. For examination of the actual state of tissue buildup and reduction in the dynamic equilibrium of the organism, a permanent subclinical inflammation readiness exists in the different tissues [Overview in 5, 6]. Tumors and chronic illnesses do not adhere to this: Where at first for its development and propagation the defense system has to “go blind”, [...]

POINTS OF INTEREST Unknown to most Missourians, Missouri had a close encounter with UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) and aliens near Cape Girardeau before the famous Roswell incident happened in New Mexico in 1947. The source of the information was from one of my patients who is a university librarian who recently gave me a copy of an article which I briefly scanned. I politely took the article and threw it in the trash. I thought she was one of those oddball, weird people who are attracted to not only [...]
