I wanted to start off this “commercial” portion of the September newsletters with some personal comments. You can see from the history of OIRF included in this issue of “The Bridge” that recommendation (and subsequent sales) of quality German instrumentation has been an integral part of the Institute almost from the beginning. We have been a legitimate non-profit organization since our return to Canada in 1984, and thus the commercial aspects of selling this instrumentation had to be done carefully. Of course the flip side of that legitimacy coin [...]

A special chronological report on our 2006 “Medicine Week” Group tour to Germany SUNDAY (October 29th):  Most of the ten tour participants met at our Frankfurt hotel this evening for an informal welcome reception. Many North Americans had to leave on Saturday to get to Germany today, due to North Atlantic flight schedules and losing time zones. Because delegates joined us from different countries, everyone made their own airline arrangements. Although our limit was twenty-five participants, this tour was much smaller than we anticipated, as compared to previous tours [...]

For the past several years I have been using a combination of three specific German therapies that I was introduced to through the Occidental Institute Research Foundation. I have been obtaining excellent results for treatment of fundamental disturbances to health caused by oxygen and energy deficiencies, vegetative dysregulation and the effects of free radicals. Specifically the therapies are Dr, Ivan Engler’s Ionized Oxygen therapy and Biophoton Therapy combined with use of a magnetic collar. Biophoton and oxygen and magnetic therapies are used to enhance healing and detoxification or improve [...]

A Complementary Medical Method Comments from the Director: This article has a very interesting history and was commissioned and translated through the Med-Tronik firm in Germany. About a year and a half ago a new distributor for China had the MORA-Super device registered and approved for use in hospitals and clinics throughout his very large country. Recently a series of articles debunking MORA and stating that it does not work and so on and so on was widely published in newspapers and magazines throughout China. [...]

A Theoretical Approach Summary On a biological observational level there are no justifiable doubts about the transference of information with the MORA Bioresonance Method. A series of controlled studies with animals and plants as well as clinical studies verifies this. It is likewise obvious that electromagnetic couplings form the physical basis of the information transfer. These can only be weak coherent interactions. However exactly how these couplings work is unclear until now. In a first attempt to understand the phenomena, elements of the Coherence Theory of Biophotons are applied [...]

True innovation for the diagnosis and therapy of acute and chronic diseases As developed by Dr. Helmut W. Schimmel (M.D., D.M.D.) Instrument-assisted testing using your choice of sensors: Point measurement probe Biotensor®, or Kinesiologic muscle test Four-level testing: Through the innovative addition of a light or “photon bridge” which for the first time allows testing right into the cell nucleus DNA Medication testing: Specifically in all four resonance levels Resoplexes: The correct homeopathic medication for each resonance level (Available through Germany; future U.S. FDA Registration planned.) The Photon-Resonance [...]

Two years ago, on my annual trip to Medicine Week with Occidental Institute, I was lucky enough to be introduced to the new Photon Resonance Test unit developed by Dr. Helmut W. Schimmel.  The Medicine Week Tour is always a highly enjoyable experience what with being introduced to new state of the art equipment, machines, techniques, medicines and information combined with congenial and brilliant company all assembled in one place at the same time. Even though I have traveled to Germany on numerous occasions both on my own and [...]

When Carolyn asked me to write about my newest toy, the Photon Resonance Test developed by Helmut W. Schimmel, M.D., D.M.D., it got me thinking about Dr. Walter Sturm’s passing, as well as thinking about how my practice has been influenced by Dr. Sturm and Occidental Institute. I have been in practice for 22 years as a naturopathic physician. I was first introduced to VEGA Testing twenty years ago by a British colleague. He said I would have to go to Germany for training in the VEGA Method. With [...]

Deciding which is dominant of the MANY possible diagnoses your patient presents with, is of utmost importance for starting treatment! Deciding how to treat the patient and not the disease. Deciding to restore a biochemical balance instead of making it worse. Deciding which modalities you are going to use and which medications will produce the desired results. Quoting the late Dr. Schimmel from the forward to his book Functional Medicine, “A lot of the knowledge presented here is not yet taught at the universities”. What doctor in their right [...]

Video Recordings of Dr. Sturm's Seminar/Workshops on "Diagnostics" and "Therapeutics"  Presented by Occidental Institute Research Foundation (OIRF) at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada [Oct./Nov. 1998] Part One on DIAGNOSTICS: Program topics . . . Overview of German point measurement instrumentation and diagnostic criteria, especially "Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll" (EAV). Review of electronic point and meridian measurement technique. Hands-on work features the Med-Tronik RM-10/S unit; but what you learn applies to any test instrument that meets German EAV standards. Med-Tronik RM-10/Super unit, including accessories and tooth testing. A precision German-made device for Voll-type acu-point [...]
