14 April 2021 Dear Colleagues and Friends, April showers, along with springtime sunshine and flowers beckon all of us in Canada and several other countries as we face ever tighter and more restrictive regulations around the so-called pandemic. I cannot help but wonder why the authorities repeat the ineffective policy of lockdowns and restrictions over and over again, but yet still expect a different result. As more and more people question or protest these restrictive policies, we can watch a greater escalation of the fear and propaganda leading toward [...]

18 Feb 2021 Dear Colleagues and Friends, As the winter storms and virus restrictions continue throughout Canada and the USA, “moving on” seems to be the new motto. There are many changes in all aspects of our lives and practices, and the restrictions appear to grow ever tighter and more controlling. For now the biggest news is the “vaccines” that will “end the pandemic and protect us all”. And, as before in either politics or pandemic, we see that any voice or organization who disagrees – or, for goodness [...]

For Readers in a Hurry Besides psychosocial factors, the effectiveness of our infection defense depends particularly on an optimal supply of micronutrients. In times of increased infection risk supplementation with Vitamins C and D, zinc, selenium and Omega-3 fatty acids can strengthen our resistance to infections. The so called coherence feeling – a sense of consistency – and a good supply of micronutrients reduce the risks of a viral infection. This also applies for SARS-CoV-2 infections and for the COVID-19 course. [...]

Viruses – Masters of Camouflage Natural Healing Strategies for Prevention For Readers in a Hurry The extract of Cistus x incanus L. Pandalis makes it impossible for viruses to force an entry into host cells and to multiply. This reduces the virus load and gives the adaptive immune system the time to learn a specific immune answer for the remaining pathogens. Also attention is paid to a sufficient supply of vitamins and minerals, especially zinc. A basic condition of all life is the constant exchange [...]

March 18, 2020 Last week Canada and the USA closed their borders to air travel from many countries, and with this morning’s news the border between Canada and the USA is now closed to all non-essential travel. People in both countries are encouraged to use social distancing and self-isolation as a method to slow and stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Unfortunately, the far-reaching repercussions of the virus response are not from the disease itself, but rather primarily from social isolation and a media driven fear of severe [...]

COVID-19 [Novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV] As of today 17 February 2020, the number of recorded cases of this virus has exceeded 71,000 and the number of deaths beyond 1,700 (a little over 2%). As so many resources are publishing their immediate understanding of the outbreak and the media is in a frenzy of fear mongering, I figured I might as well get my two-bits worth into the midst of the chaos.  The images of care- and lab-workers walking around in “space suits” and maintenance workers spraying [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

According to the statistical yearbook of the [German] Federal Government, approximately 18,000 women die annually of breast cancer, which is 25% of the new illnesses. Reason enough to think about alternative therapies. [A] During 2012 the therapy courses of the patients with breast cancer treated in our [practice] were evaluated by a [...]

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 [...]
