The following article by Dr. Manfred Doepp was published recently in the CO’MED journal under the column title of “Thoughts and Reflections”. Beyond its personal interest for me, I hesitated to include this article not wanting to offend anyone. But then, on further retrospection I decided that it is an important concept and extremely well stated by Dr. Doepp – and it should make you think whether or not you agree with him. Dr. Doepp lectured during the OIRF Biological Medicine Symposium 2010, The Evolution of Natural Healing Methods [...]

It seems the past months have been sad ones as we have lost more of the “old rabbits” of our field. For some mystical reason we are seeing ever more losses of those who have been the innovators and the guiding lights of biological medicine. In this issue it is my sad duty to inform you about the passing of two more great men, Dr. med. Dieter Hager and the engineer Erich Rasche. Such losses seem to lend me words along with the tears. We have lost so many [...]

The Ground Regulation System By Prof. Dr. Hartmut Heine A few years after his serious illness in 2011 Prof. Dr. Hartmut Heine published a series of seven articles on the Ground Regulation System. I [Carolyn Winsor] was honored to be able to translate this incredible research into English for the first time and to publish it in our newsletter, “The Bridge”. As I worked my way through translation of the first article, the wealth of knowledge and understanding imparted in even that introductory article left me scrambling for dictionaries, research documents hidden [...]

Web Watch Submitted by our own Esther Treitl, November 2008 (no source available) The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as ‘Natural Flavoring’. MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops! I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for [...]

"Nature trumps all, and when she wishes to correct the insanity of our plans for her planet, we are helpless to stop or even slow her down.” My world burned on June 24th of this year. I witnessed its genesis on a beautiful Big Sur summer day, clear and warm, the Pacific luminescent in the afternoon sun. And then, from the north, 3 small, innocent, tumbling clouds, passing overhead barely noticed, until... Boom. Five rapid lightning strikes: 4 over the ocean and 1 touching down half a mile south [...]

Web Watch “While working for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I monitored two major projects for FDA, in addition to other product investigations. These projects concerned Pesticides and Chemicals in Foods, and Illegal Drug Tissue Residues in Animals. I worked closely with sister federal and state agencies, oversaw contract compliance, and was coordinator and lead investigator on projects involving FDA, EPA and USDA. The toxicology, histology and biochemistry of aspartame (aka: NutraSweet, Equal, etc.) is neurotoxic. The aspartame components injure the blood-brain barrier, allowing easy passage, and will [...]

October 2008 Dear Members: Those of you who joined us on Tour #30, in May 2004 when we went to see Dr. Geßwein in Bonn, or on several other Tour pro­grams where we attended International Symposiums, will remember hearing Dr. Gerhard Ohlenschläger. I remember him so clearly. A big man, not too mobile in his later years, but always a presence that inspired and challenged everyone he met – a man who even Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp considered a respected mentor. I remember a time during a Med-Tronik Symposium when [...]

Web Watch Article Submitted by Dr. Sir Zenon W. Gruba, September 2008 Understanding the “L-Form” Bacteria Targeting the Cause of Inflammatory Disease In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a paper stating, “Infectious agents have emerged as notable determinants, not just complications, of chronic diseases. To capitalize on these opportunities, clinicians, public health practitioners, and policymakers must recognize that many chronic diseases may indeed have infectious origins.” Multiple studies have shown that when Beta-lactam antibiotics are applied to wild-type bacteria in a Petri dish, small [...]

On the Death of Dr. med. Dieter Aschoff Dieter Aschoff, MD was born on 20.10.1918 and passed away on 24.1.2008 after a short illness. His life stood in the service of natural healing therapies. He was a founding member of the Gesellschaft für Erfahrungsheilkunde. Together with Dr. Reinhold Voll in the practice of Dr. Korthals in Wuppertal in the 1950’s he discovered the electro-acupuncture test which Voll later further developed. Dr. Aschoff was one of the first doctors who learned acupuncture with Dr. Bachmann in Munich. However his main [...]

An Opinion By Russel L. Blaylock, MD Courts in Maryland and the government in New Jersey recently mandated the forced vaccination of their citizens – with threats of imprisonment for those who refuse. I predict that this dictatorial policy will result in thousands of ruined lives. The controversy over vaccine safety ignores one of the strongest associations to disease and poor health: chronic overactivation of immunity, especially the brain’s special immune system. Vaccination is dramatically different from getting an infection naturally. With a natural infection, the body’s immune system [...]
