  • History from North Carolina

    January 29, 2019|Articles|

    History of North Carolina Medical Practice Act Changes 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' (George Santayana – 1905). In a 1948 speech to the House of Commons, Sir Winston Churchill changed the quote slightly when he paraphrased it: 'Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.' Following is a transcript of a recording by John Wilson, MD of Asheville, North Carolina documenting the history of the changes to the Medical Practice Act of North Carolina. My [...]

  • 80 Years Later?

    January 30, 2018|Points of Interest (Articles)|

    POINTS OF INTEREST The era of cancer chemotherapy was first developed at the beginning of the 20th century, although it was not originally intended as a cancer treatment. During World War II, naval personnel who were exposed to mustard gas during military action were found to have toxic changes in the bone marrow cells that develop into blood cells. During that same period, the US Army was studying a number of chemicals related to mustard gas to develop more effective agents for war and also develop protective measures. In [...]

  • Medical Heretics

    December 15, 2017|Articles|

    Medical Heretics in Munich for IPT/LD Conference: (Medical) Renaissance in Florence Obama Care or NObama Care for medical politics aside, rather than accepting current medical care, what we need is a new Medical Renaissance based on New Biology. Renaissance – Rebirth - is always preceded by heretics who change the “paradigm” of current thinking by challenging the ruling authority. Let me introduce you to one of the original modern medical heretics, Robert S. Mendelsohn, MD. An American pediatrician (1926-1988) who served [...]

    History of Light Therapy Light, color and crystals in 3,000 BC . . .

Doctors and natural healers from almost every major culture around the world have used precious and semi-precious gemstones within their healing modalities. In Egypt, Greece, China, India, Persia they were highly valued in the medical field. The Mayans, Incas, Tibetans, North American Indians, Daoist Chinese and East Indian Ayurvedics are all recorded as [...]

  • Hormones and Aging

    March 15, 2017|Articles|

    We age because of a decline in the hormonal production by the endocrine glands in the body.   In medical school, doctors are taught that hormone imbalances and declines in hormone production occur as an inevitable consequence of aging. This isn’t so. Our hormones don’t decline because we age. Rather, we age because our hormones decline. Understanding this difference is very important.   The key endocrine glands in the body are the hypothalamus, pineal, pituitary, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, ovaries, testes, and adrenals.  All of these glands release hormones into your body’s [...]

    July 15, 2015|Journal Translations (Articles)|

During his last years it became very quiet around him and his residences in France and Italy, and he accepted contact from Germany only occasionally. At one time this was different. However Prof. Porkert’s was a brilliant mind dominant in the spread of Chinese Medicine in Germany and Europe from the 1970’s until the 1990’s.

  • Energy Medicine Going Mainstream

    May 15, 2015|Articles|

    ABSTRACT Energy is the substance of life. Without the understanding of energy, medical professionals cannot possibly comprehend the significant role that energy plays in medicine. We could not imagine a hospital today without the diagnostic capabilities of X-Ray, MRI, EEG, and EKG. All of these techniques measure and report the energy of a particular part of the body. The author’s hope is that this article will widen the reader’s perspective, understanding, and use of Energy Medicine which, ideally, should complement patient care. Keywords: Energy Medicine, Electromagnetism, Biofeedback, Focused Field [...]

  • The Indices in the VEGATEST

    September 15, 2012|Articles|

    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 [...]

  • AIDS – An Editorial

    June 15, 2012|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    AIDS – The Chronology of a Misunderstanding The “AIDS” problem has already occupied [the pages of] raum&zeit since the beginning, when the topic moved (was moved) into the focus of the public at the beginning of the 1980’s with the discovery of the first five AIDS cases. At that time, one of the most important authors was certainly Prof. Dr. Peter Duesberg (USA) as one of the first scientists who criticized the official AIDS/HIV theory. In 1990 he wrote among other [...]
