Revolutionary! June Commentary and Links June 2026 Dear friends, colleagues and supporters, In the early spring of 2015 as I began developing my lectures on balance and resonance, it was pretty clear that it would take a paradigm shift in perception for the methods and procedures that are so well known to us as energy medicine practitioners to become part of standard medical practice. That shift from chemistry to physics, or from defeating a symptom allopathically to balancing the energetic household seemed far too esoteric – or perhaps too [...]

15 May 2026 Dear friends, colleagues and supporters, It has been a busy few months since I last had the opportunity to setup a commentary or forward some of the interesting current links from the English-language journals and research. But, busy it has been. One of my major projects since OIRF.com went live last September has been completed (for now). The newly revised, reformatted and updated version of the Praxis2Practice website has now also gone live. As you look over this month’s translated articles and information, I invite you [...]

In Memoriam Peter Mandel 1941 – 2026 We say goodbye to Peter Mandel, an extraordinary person who shaped naturopathy for decades: Born in Breslau in 1941, his path led him early into the healing professions: in 1959 he began his training as a nurse, followed by qualifications as a medical lifeguard, chiropractor, acupuncturist and reflexology therapist. In 1970 he passed the naturopathic examination – a step that laid the foundation for a life's work that radiates far beyond the boundaries of the profession. With inexhaustible curiosity, a spirit of [...]

 . . . With Progress Into the Future November 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, I must admit as we approach the holidays and the end of another year, I found sitting down to write this monthly commentary challenging. There are still so many aspects of the virus and political situations that are discouraging and negative, that I went looking for something – anything – that would be positive and encouraging as we approach the change into another season and another year. It was a challenge, but well [...]

October 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, Have you had a chance to wander around this new OIRF.com website? One doc told me about nights of deep dives until 2 AM finding treasures while others have commented on the ease of moving around and finding the things you remembered or were looking for. I’m thrilled with the response and it’s rewarding to know the years of effort and struggle to complete the uploads and formatting have offered you easy accessibility to the decades of publications and materials. Thank [...]

Integrative Cancer Therapy for Breast Cancer Improving Quality of Life and Survival Time for Patients With around 74,500 new cases annually, breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women, according to the Center for Cancer Registry Data of the Robert Koch Institute. According to that, one in eight women will develop breast cancer in the course of her life, and one in six affected women is not yet 50 years old. Nothing is known about the actual cause [...]

15 January 2025 As usual the post-holiday time brings reflections along with the determination to make changes that improve our family, faith and professional lives. I promised myself I wouldn’t get all carried away with grand rhetoric and inspirational prose. And I will stick with that. Too many situations of chaos and uncertainty surround everyone politically, economically and professionally during this interesting but transformational time. For days, I have remained glued to the television watching the unfolding catastrophe that is the wildfire situation in southern California. Since our Okanagan [...]

November 2023 My dear Colleagues and Friends, What an adventure! For the first time in four years, I made the pilgrimage journey to Baden-Baden, Germany to participate in the annual Medicine Week Congress. For me, traveling by myself with no group and no set schedule for extra meetings, it was almost a holiday. I had the opportunity to visit with several colleagues from former times now that we can also be friends without the formality of business responsibilities. I visited briefly at Medical Electronics in Rheinau (still an interesting [...]

His deeply held beliefs and philosophies regarding well being, the internet, personal [...]

Email Question: I am interested in obtaining the FIT 915 photobiological glasses from your information. I have lost sight in one eye and have degenerative sight in the other. I am concerned about the safety of using this device. Could the bright photon light in any way hurt or diminish my failing sight? Carolyn’s rambling answer: Please understand that I make my recommendations and suggestions based on the more than 45 years of experience and work in this field of complementary medicine. Many times over the years, we have [...]
