How often are we asked to give our “evidence base” for the very effective treatments that we give? How often are the people who ask these questions really not interested in what we do and only see us as inconvenient irritants to their version of the truth and as competition that should be rooted out? I believe that there is a place for empirical medicine along side of conventional medicine. Especially when conventional medicine does not have a safe or effective treatment, like for example [...]

POINTS OF INTEREST Global burden of cancers attributable to infections in 2008: a review and synthetic analysis Catherine de Martel MD, Jacques Ferlay ME, Silvia Franceschi MD, Jérôme Vignat MSc, Freddie Bray PhD, David Forman PhD, Dr Martyn Plummer PhD Summary Background Infections with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasites have been identified as strong risk factors for specific cancers. An update of their respective contribution to the global burden of cancer is warranted. Methods We considered infectious agents classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research [...]

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 [...]

Immune System Disease Hits Asians With AIDS-Like Symptoms CP | By Marilynn Marchione, The Associated Press Posted: Huffington Post, 08/22/2012 5:09 pm Updated: 08/22/2012 5:30 pm Researchers have identified a mysterious new disease that has left scores of people in Asia and some in the United States with AIDS-like symptoms even though they are not infected with HIV. The patients' immune systems become damaged, leaving them unable to fend off germs as healthy people do. What triggers this isn't known, but the disease does not seem to be contagious. [...]

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 [...]

POINTS OF INTEREST Submitted by Dr. Sir Zenon Gruba: Water Before Bedtime [Zenon’s note: I don’t know if this works – but it’s worth a try!] About 90% of heart attacks occur early in the morning and it can be minimized if one takes a glass or two of water – NOT grog or beer – before retiring in the evening. I knew water is important but I never knew about the special times to drink it. Did you?? Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on [...]

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 [...]

Oxygen Therapies – A Scientific Comparison Traditional Oxygen Therapies Compared With The Progressive Principle of Spirovitalisation Survival time without solid food: 40 days; without liquid: 4 days; without oxygen: 4 minutes Introduction Science tells us that no higher life forms can exist without oxygen. This demonstrates the crucial significance of a continuous supply of the "elixir of life", oxygen, for all higher organisms. Adequate availability of oxygen is the prerequisite for all metabolic processes associated with the production of energy, a [...]

BOOK REVIEW Mitochondrial Pathology, Cancer and MORA® By Dr. med. dent. Gottfried Cornelissen English translation by Marguerite Lane, ND This text is primarily intended to be a continuation of Volume III Degeneration, Cancer and MORA. It is, however, possible to use it as a stand-alone text. The most recent research results, with their brand new theoretical approaches differ from all of the conventional ideas of Tumour treatment, and everyone can benefit from them. There are four main volumes, with a logical progression of topics: Volume 1 The New Diagnostic [...]
