And Your December 2023 Releases Med-Week Resources, Part 2 This will be a brief and incomplete listing of some of the many companies represented at the recent Medicine Week Congress. In the few weeks since sending you my initial impressions of that amazing congress, I’ve had a chance to reorganize not just my thoughts but also the reams of information and cards I gathered while wandering the exhibits. Because I am not an active practitioner, but rather a lecturer, researcher and writer, my perspective when viewing the exhibits is [...]

November 2023 My dear Colleagues and Friends, What an adventure! For the first time in four years, I made the pilgrimage journey to Baden-Baden, Germany to participate in the annual Medicine Week Congress. For me, traveling by myself with no group and no set schedule for extra meetings, it was almost a holiday. I had the opportunity to visit with several colleagues from former times now that we can also be friends without the formality of business responsibilities. I visited briefly at Medical Electronics in Rheinau (still an interesting [...]

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 [...]

April 2020 Please make it stop!!! The media frenzy of fear mongering and highlighting the worst-case-scenarios seems to never end. We have virtually hourly updates (daily pep-talks from our Canadian Prime Minister giving away yet more money) and unending analysis of how it is our duty to follow the instructions of the “health authorities”. If you will forgive me for adding an attachment, we really need a little bit of humor to bring us back to a positive and optimistic look at the outcome of this situation. [...]

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 [...]
