13 May 2025 There is one event that I always look forward to each spring, and that is making the journey to St. Louis to participate in Dr. Simon Yu’s Introductory Acupuncture Meridian Assessment seminar and workshop. It’s a long day of travel and flying each direction for me from our beautiful little resort community in the interior of British Columbia – but well worth it. Attended this spring by nearly 20 docs and dentists, this session was exceptional. I was able to present all three of my lectures [...]

Main Focus Invisible Attackers Living with Inanimate Nature For those in a hurry To prevent disease, it is not a matter of killing germs, but rather of creating a healthy environment and a strong immune system in the body. For example, it can help to cleanse the detoxification and excretory organs such as the liver, intestines, kidneys and skin through naturopathic drainage and detoxification therapies. Viruses and bacteria have already existed for millions of years and are part of life. So that people can still [...]

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” – Cicero, 55 BC March 2025 My Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters, Well, that old American shampoo saying of “wash, rinse, repeat” certainly applies today just as that Santanya/Churchill quote about “those who fail to [...]

In Memory Heinrich Rossmann, MD Dr. H. Rossmann was one of the few doctors who also cooperated as an expert on behalf of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians with Dr. Reinhold Voll, the founder of electroacupuncture (EAV). Now he has died shortly before his 90th birthday. Since 1970 he has been involved with EAV, found a special methodological approach, which he continued with curiosity, imagination and the joy of experimentation. Together with Dr. N. Mayer, among others, he developed the HOMOPATH© test program, today the most modern [...]

March 2022 There was a night recently where thoughts whirled and sleep escaped me. Rather than stew in frustration, I did a “Carolyn” and just sat at my computer in the early hours of a new day and wrote – just notes and thoughts and an attempt to make sense of recent events. It is certainly a turbulent and highly charged time in history. As I’ve mentioned before, I believe this is the time of millennial transition that many expected in those first few years of this 21st century. [...]

Birthdays, Philosophy & Exit Strategies With the culmination of the 101st Birthday celebrations and activities for my beloved Mom Catharine, I’ve once again found myself wandering through the newsletters and ever changing information about the virus, the vaccines and the possible resolutions for the health of our families and patients. I’ve stated it before that without a doubt, this is a unique time in history – for conventional medicine, so-called alternative medicine, politics, economics and society as a whole. I am not so prideful and [...]

Rhetoric, Politics, History and Points to Ponder 09 February 2022 These are interesting and maddening times, are they not? But times of change – those moments of Kairos – are certainly never easy to participate in. In recent weeks I’ve had several reminders of the past and of the history that have once again compelled me to put my fingers to the keyboard and “spit it out” as the old saying goes. On the day I began writing, I was filled with optimism. In spite of the promise that [...]

December 2021 During these final days of 2021 it is difficult to believe and understand the ongoing challenges of the p(l)andemic that have now extended into two years. My interest and curiosity about the history and background of our field has bored many during my lectures, but I still believe Sir Winston Churchill’s words: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Today, most people hear the news on TV and whether they like our current political leaders or not, are beginning to wonder “what [...]

No Way for a Good Purpose How charitable are foundations? The untouchable aura of generosity surrounds institutions with this form of organization. For some of them, this is a wonderful camouflage to steer the world according to their questionable ideas. The corona crisis offers an abundance of illustrative material for this. Foundations have a good reputation. Thus, most people automatically think of benefactors using their hard-earned money to do good. But is it really like that? Are there really always only [...]

Acupuncture A Plea for Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll; Music of the Dandelion In recent years Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll (EAV) has somewhat fallen into oblivion – similarly to nosodes. However, even through the computer era this method can quickly and inventively support therapists: It helps with diagnostics of among other things chronic seriously ill patients. Examples from 50 years of practice experience prove the efficacy. It has become quiet around Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll (EAV). Nevertheless, as a specialist in general [...]
