Palliative Support With Complementary Approaches Giving Well-being, Trust and Security People in palliative care usually want to be able to spend their remaining time in the highest possible well-being and to experience support for body, mind and spirit in this way. Although the possibilities for patients in this phase have developed significantly in recent decades, there are still many reservations – also among therapists, naturopaths and the personal environment. With this article, I would like to advocate involving more naturopaths in palliative support and care, [...]

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 [...]

Bioenergetic Procedures for Food Intolerances and Allergies SUMMARY Allergies dominate doctors' practices today. Even though many patients come with completely different symptoms, an allergy is often the underlying cause. It would be completely wrong to act according to a linear approach and view the allergy (which is merely a symptom) as the cause of these diseases. The correct thing to do would be to recognize the same anabolic reaction pattern behind it that also underlies other diseases, with all the diverse, highly individual causes. The goal on a somatic [...]

And Your December 2023 Releases Med-Week Resources, Part 2 This will be a brief and incomplete listing of some of the many companies represented at the recent Medicine Week Congress. In the few weeks since sending you my initial impressions of that amazing congress, I’ve had a chance to reorganize not just my thoughts but also the reams of information and cards I gathered while wandering the exhibits. Because I am not an active practitioner, but rather a lecturer, researcher and writer, my perspective when viewing the exhibits is [...]

No word in the English language elicits as much fear as CANCER. If our parents had cancer, then the traditional thinking is that it is genetic, and we are thus susceptible. Yet my parents smoked cigarettes, ate red meat daily, and did not exercise. If we have a pain in the body that does not go away in a few days, we worry about cancer. If it takes longer than usual to get over a cold or flu, we worry about cancer. There is a [...]

We are sleeping better than ever before. While NuCalm took us to a higher level than ever before, the new energy eye glasses that Dr. Michael Galitzer recommended have enabled us to have 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, with only one visit to the bathroom at night. The glasses are shown below. We start the day with five minutes of white light, and end the day with five minutes of red light, which stimulates the creation of melatonin. Upon reporting this amazing sleep, Dr. Galitzer wrote back as follows: [...]
