Sugar Substitutes May Contribute to Weight Gain By Randy Dotinga, HealthDay Reporter HealthDay MONDAY, Feb. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Surprising research suggests a popular artificial sweetener has the unexpected and unwelcome effect of packing on the pounds. Purdue researchers report that saccharin altered the ability of rats to control their appetites. However, the head of an artificial sweetener trade group scoffed at the findings, saying they don't necessarily translate to humans. "We found that the rats that were getting artificially sweetened yogurt gained more weight and ate more food," [...]

Oxygen Therapies? Yes! But with which oxygen? Physical and biological characteristics of the oxygen forms and their therapeutic applications The atmospheric air in which scavengers of aerobic organisms – thus also of humans – has adapted in the course of millions of years, and up to 50 years ago was still a pure gas mixture made above all from nitrogen and the five forms of oxygen (O2, O2•-, O2•+, 1O2, O3), the so called 21% NITROX. The air of today is burdened in many ways  (SOx, NOx, >COx, >O3, [...]

Similarity of Symptoms I have compiled common symptoms associated with parasite infection and allergy related problems. You will be surprised to see the similarity of the symptoms. Many symptoms that indicate a parasite infestation also indicate allergy problems and vice-versa as shown in the first grouping in each column below. The symptoms in the second grouping in each column don’t overlap with the other condition but can influence the other condition as if running a parallel course for both problems. Parasites Asthma Bloating Brain fog Cramps Diarrhea Fatigue [...]

MORA Color What is there to say? It works really well – but only if you use it. Dr. Morell and Dr. Sturm always said that the only limit to MORA, and it’s applications, is your imagination. MORA Color is a special example of that. Here is a quick overview. Electrodes: “Piggyback” two single electrodes (held together by whatever means you can) with each brass electrode staggered by a few millimeters – real close. Med-Tronik now has a newly designed “Gruba” roller specifically for this purpose, but if you [...]

Electromagnetic Information fields as the Basis of Life “Every man and every woman is a star”, was claimed by the notorious English Occultist Aleister Crowley about one hundred years ago in one of his rare moments of higher realization. (1) He could not prove it or did not want to. That the allegedly poetic statement is much more, namely a hard physical fact, could only be proven experimentally decades later. Actually all of our ten billion cells radiate a few hundred photons per second in [...]

Note from Carolyn: The author of this piece is unknown. It is simply an article that was making the e-mail rounds on the internet. I cannot personally vouch for the authenticity of the claims, but we all know that Aspartame is simply what the title indicates. All of you as testers should know this already, but it bears repeating. I remember Walter’s comments concerning this chemical: “A person can consume one small packet of Aspartame – or any of the chemical sweeteners, but especially Aspartame – in a cup [...]

When Carolyn invited me to write an article for ORIF I was very honored but left with the puzzle of what to contribute. Walter and Carolyn, together with OIRF staff have earned my respect over many years because of the wonderful job that they have done in bringing knowledge of biological medicine to so many people. Over a period of at least 35 years they have covered so much material that it is difficult to know where to start. On reflection I have decided to start at the beginning [...]

Low Protein versus High Protein Diets: Their Effects on the body's pH levels. Abstract It is the argument of this paper that a low protein, low carbohydrate diet is health promoting, while current high protein diets can be injurious to health. The findings in this paper are drawn from a literature based survey on pH levels – the balance of acid and alkaline within the body – and the contribution that diet may make either to disease or to the promotion of health. Debates about [...]

“Do we hesitate lest the wrath laid upon Jack Kevorkian visit our young and vulnerable profession?” For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven . . . (1) I was listening out of the corner of my ear to National Public Radio the other morning when my attention was snagged by an interview with one particular author. His fictional plot is rather audacious, involving an unusual legislative solution to the social and economic impact of aging baby boomers: voluntary euthanasia. This is not [...]

The Phenomena of the Extracellular Matrix As an Attractor for Waste Products Summary The circadian rhythm of the acid-base flooding in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is in feedback as the physiological basis of cell metabolism. The ECM is connected through the sodium chloride cycle to the circadian rhythm of the liver. Deviations from these feedbacks are always connected with a latent acidosis as a starting point for the ‘clogging up with waste products’ of the ECM. This is measurable in a chronic acid pH of [...]
