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 processes of living systems [...]

Looking back through these pages as I prepared for the final publication of this Issue #5, I was struck that once again I have chosen Dr. Sturm’s so called “three legged therapy stool” as the monthly features. These three devices formed the therapy basis he utilized for virtually every patient. He seldom sent the patients home with remedies (although he would suggest Epsom Salts and some of the Mayr recommendations for many patients), and he insisted that with these three devices you could handle almost any case that came [...]

A Conversation between Carolyn and Ted Ted: Although I wanted to write a nice long beautiful article about our experiences with the AMSAT, instead I find myself sending you a sort of diary about the trials and tribulations of being a clinician. These are just some of the things that happen in life, and I suppose we just have to cope with it. Hopefully our members can take some consolation and instruction from these recent experiences. I have found out one very important thing about the AMSAT unit: it [...]

Or, The Individual Setting I have been asked on several occasions what the individual setting of the Mora is, and how I came to discover it. When the Mora III was first launched it came with two sheets of suggested settings for various conditions including Basic Therapy. Although these suggestions sometimes made an improvement in the condition of the patient the suggestions very often did not appear to make any improvement or to offer only a minimum change. This gave me cause for concern. It also seemed wrong to me [...]

S’pore’s first non-Chinese acupuncturist had a hard time being accepted. Race is something Justin Morais has always been very aware of. Years ago, as Singapore’s first non-Chinese acupuncturist, he had to jump through hoops to be accepted by the local acupuncture community. And by Singaporeans too. Today, none of this is evident as he tends to clients of all races and walks of life at his second-floor unit in bustling Hougang Central. Among them, you can often see Catholic nuns, expatriates and football stars. “I guess they have decided [...]

12 April 2009 THE TONGUE HAS THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH:  Proverbs 18:21 Dr. Smith: “I’m sorry Mr. Jones, you have cancer of the pancreas and you have only four weeks left to live”. Many of us have been called to rescue those who have been sentenced to death – it is therefore those to whom I am writing. “The full potential of the spoken word has always been more complex than the words themselves;” M. Dingemanse, Max Planck Institute. All of us long to connect with someone [...]

Please follow this link to see Dr. Pizzorno's Editorial Commentary 25 February 2009 Joseph Pizzorno, ND Editor in Chief at Integrative Medicine Dear Dr. Pizzorno: I have been a subscriber to IMCJ since its inception. I am most impressed by the fact that your publication has done so much to bring our many alternative methods into a more favorable light with conventional medicine. Our Occidental Institute was initially founded in 1972 and has been dedicated to bringing reliable, yet practical, information concerning alternative (or your so called “fringe”) methods to [...]

Here is a brief outline of our Tour #35 schedule: Sunday (Nov. 2): Tour delegates met at our Munich airport hotel this evening for an informal welcome reception. Most North Americans had to leave on Saturday to get to Germany on Sunday, due to North Atlantic flight schedules and losing time zones. Because participants join us from all over the world, everyone made their own airline arrangements. Monday (Nov. 3): Our deluxe motor coach took us from Munich to Baden-Baden. In the afternoon a half [...]

FAQ’s MORA Basic Therapy and Quadrant Values The importance of basic therapy cannot be over-emphasised. If treatment of a patient’s complaint is to be effective and long lasting then it is essential to bring the four body quadrants back into balance in the normal range. If this is not done then the effects of therapy are likely to be disappointing. It is like building a house without foundations. Basic therapy goes some way to bringing about this balance. However, basic therapy alone will not rectify many quadrant imbalances but [...]

When Carolyn invited me to contribute an article on EAV for the Newsletter I was both honoured and at a complete loss as to where to start. The subject is so vast! Perhaps the best place to start is at the beginning with taking measurements. In order to give good treatment, a good diagnosis is necessary. We can all use the MORA to give symptomatic treatment but is this what the patient wants? Many of my patients know that they do not feel well but conventional medicine has been [...]
