Neuschwanstein Castle, Schwangau, Germany Occidental Institute Research Foundation 39th Biological Medicine Tour to Germany Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, 2012 A Personal Diary of our Exclusive Program for 2012 Research Associates Wednesday, 05 December 2012 Attn:  Everyone who missed joining us in Frankfurt for our Germany Tour #39 A big hello to our OIRF members, colleagues and friends . . . Those of you who were unable to join us for this most recent tour program, really missed a good one! The size of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A Long-Standing, Covert Health Threat While mycoplasma was first identified in animals in 1898 and humans in 1932, its considerable health dangers and implications have only in the last several decades become more apparent. Existing somewhere between a virus and typical bacteria, mycoplasmas are known to be the smallest, free-living organisms in the world. Unlike traditional bacteria having solid cell walls, cell-wall deficient mycoplasmas take on many different shapes, making them sometimes difficult to identify in the laboratory and also difficult to culture. Cell wall deficient microorganisms are typically [...]

As the 30th anniversary of my practice approaches, I have been reviewing the different concepts of treatment and the modalities I have used over the years. While some have come and gone, others have been recognized as valid and have evolved into a sustaining part of my practice. One of the most valued and helpful concepts I have discovered is the identification of blocks to healing. In the beginning of my practice I didn’t always understand why some patients were just not responding to my [...]

Technical Diagnostic Support in the Modern Natural Healing Practice The increasing burden on earth, water, air and food of synthetic materials (e.g. herbicides or insecticides) results in people coming into contact daily with a huge number of materials foreign to the body (unphysiological). Of course in our daily lives substances which are included in consumer goods (scented materials, preservatives, disinfectants, etc.) are not to be forgotten. In the course of life these materials are picked up by the body through respiration, [...]

The Importance of the Intermediaries of the Citric Acid Cycle for Bioregulatory Medicine The citric acid or tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) localized in the mitochondria and the interconnected electron transport chain (ETC) lead to the formation of ATP, the most important energy source of the cell. The TCA cycle is the shared final stage for the dismantling of all nutrients and is therefore the actual life preserving turntable of the metabolism. There all components of the tissues (carbohydrates, proteins and [...]

In this article I would like to present some interesting observations made during the course of this year. Before discussing these observations a broad description of geopathic stress is presented in order to help orientate those readers who are less familiar with these concepts. Geopathic Stress A vexing question for the physician is why some patients, despite excellent and appropriate therapy, fail to respond to treatment or give only a marginal response. Sometimes there is a good response only to be followed by relapse; sometimes [...]
