Corona Virus and Dark Field Diagnostics During the time of the Corona virus pandemic, dark field diagnostics have once more gained increasing importance. Unfortunately in many media and internet portals the most bizarre images, speculations and statements about “typical” changes in the blood of COVID patients and/or SARS-CoV-2 vaccinated people are rampant, which circulate unchecked. Some even claim they can differentiate the different vaccines of the manufacturers by means of dark field in the blood of vaccinated people. But what is really the point? To [...]

Pathways to the Future of Energy Medicine TFIM Conference Summary March 2023 Dear Colleagues and Friends, Were you there? Did you take in the Forum for Integrative Medicine (TFIM) online conference in the first weekend of March? Titled “Exploring Complex, Chronic Illness Through the Lens of True Healing” this is/was the premier event of the year in my humble opinion. If you missed it, get in touch with the organizers and see if you can obtain permission to get the slide and video presentations. This was an incredible experience. [...]

February 2023 Following what has been a long and rather dark winter for me personally, I finally found the courage to reach out to a colleague for help in recovering. I guess we must always remember the old saw about “he who has himself for a physician, has a fool for a physician” and look outside of our own knowledge and expertise when healing seems difficult or ineffective. In spite of my long weeks of RSV, Covid, bronchitis, depression and unexpectedly deep grief for the recent loss of my [...]

Ozone Therapy for the Treatment of Post-Covid Syndrome Abstract Post-covid Syndrome is a complex disease, but it can be successfully treated by an integrated treatment approach with a combined application of individual orthomolecular substances. A clarification of the background symptoms and the need for integrative treatment at the earliest possible time is important. In the case of Epstein-Barr virus, similar courses are known without leading to corresponding media fear-mongering representations. Within the framework of a multimodal treatment approach supported by individual laboratory diagnostics, ozone therapy [...]

Causes Speak for the Therapeutic Use of Antioxidants Abstract Hyperinflammation and oxidative stress play an important pathophysiological role not only in acute Covid-19 disease, but also in Long-Covid. In Covid-19 Vitamin C deficiency has been demonstrated and the benefit of supportive Vitamin C infusions has already been investigated. In Long-Covid excessive inflammation and reactive oxygen compounds are also co-triggers for fibrosis, thrombosis, immune dysregulation (autoimmune phenomena and viral persistence), fatigue, cognitive impairment and disturbances of the autonomic nervous system. The benefits of Vitamin C infusions [...]

An Introductory Commentary Dear Colleagues and Readers, Barely three years have passed since we first heard of a new virus (with the name SARS-CoV-2) and from its consequences somewhere in China people were seriously ill and in some instances died. At that time, hardly anyone here in Germany and Europe thought too much about it. Above all no one at that time would have believed what happened worldwide a few months later: The entire public life ground to a halt. As unprepared as our health care system was, the [...]

January 2023 Dear Colleagues and Friends, As I move into this New Year of 2023 as well as this new chapter in my life, I feel counterbalanced with optimism for the future but weighed down by the frustrating worldwide controversies, upheavals and often corruption. While many prayed for hope, peace, joy, love and prosperity throughout the holiday and year-end festivities, we are still surrounded by reports of the disastrous events of 2022 that have changed the face of politics, economics and healthcare for far into the future. As I [...]

Abstract At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the acute infection was the focus of interest, but since then the perspective has changed. After the infection, impairments may persist in those affected, at both the physical as well as the mental level – the so-called “Long-Covid Syndrome” or “Post-Covid Syndrome”. The healthcare system is doing research on causes and treatment options. In practice it has been shown that previously well-established naturopathic procedures make a positive contribution to the therapy of patients with Long-Covid. Especially the combination of orthodox medicine [...]

Interim Results of the Ongoing Long-/Post-Covid Study From the Hospital for Naturopathic Medicine in Munich. Abstract In December 2021, we started an in-house observational study at the Krankenhaus für Naturheilweisen (Clinic for Internal Medicine, Naturopathy and Homeopathy) on the topic of “Effectiveness of our Naturopathic Complex Treatment for Long-/Post-Covid Syndrome”. While the first, initially small numbers of patients with Long-/Post-Covid came to us in the second half of 2020, these patients developed into one of our largest patient groups during 2021, in some cases with [...]

28 November 2022 Dear Colleagues and Friends, By now you’ve seen the “new” email format. I have been chastised and so all my extra and extended words will now fill up digital space on this website, rather than the somewhat irregular monthly emails of the past. Partly this has arisen as my IT Guru Chad told me about his impressions of the email “newsletters”. Additionally, he is also helping me prepare and download nearly five decades of data as we build the new OIRF website. So many changes in [...]
