. . . With Progress Into the Future November 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, I must admit as we approach the holidays and the end of another year, I found sitting down to write this monthly commentary challenging. There are still so many aspects of the virus and political situations that are discouraging and negative, that I went looking for something – anything – that would be positive and encouraging as we approach the change into another season and another year. It was a challenge, but well [...]

October 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, Have you had a chance to wander around this new OIRF.com website? One doc told me about nights of deep dives until 2 AM finding treasures while others have commented on the ease of moving around and finding the things you remembered or were looking for. I’m thrilled with the response and it’s rewarding to know the years of effort and struggle to complete the uploads and formatting have offered you easy accessibility to the decades of publications and materials. Thank [...]

Immune training or risk Epigenetic Changes From mRNA Vaccines A new study shows that mRNA‑vaccinations leave profound traces in the immune system. But what does long-term immunity generated in this way mean for health? In their 2024 study, Prof. Jan Rybniker and his team showed that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination triggers permanent epigenetic changes in immune cells – especially in macrophages. According to the study, it changes a certain protein in the cell nucleus – the so-called histone H3 at the K27 site – by means of a chemical marker [...]

September 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, I simply cannot think of any greater news nor a more exciting announcement.

Summer Time and Optimism? June 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, The summer solstice approaches, and our daylight hours will soon begin to shorten. All that light seems to focus on what appears to be the unending upset and chaos throughout our world. As I prepare these articles for posting and publishing prior to my summer break, many world leaders are meeting in the midst of our beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains to talk about war, trade disputes and political unrest. I must say my fascination with the news [...]

Regarding The WHO’s Disturbing Plans Why on Earth am I going to all the trouble to translate from German and publish in English these two articles with the interview between the medical journalist Robert Hein and the lawyer and expert on the medical industry Beate Bahner? Well . . . first of all do you really think that this kind of information involving the WHO only applies to Germany and is not connected with, or the same as, the experiences here and in all other countries of the world? [...]

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 [...]
