16 February 2026 Dear friends, colleagues and supporters, “In the bleak midwinter”, as one of our Christian hymns begins, we often turn to gray thoughts during the gray days of February. Over the past 4 to 5 years, I’ve struggled to keep up with all the advancing technology. Learning about websites with categories and tags and uploading vs downloading along with correct ways to format for digital presentation instead of on printed paper. During this time of “supposed to be retired” (in my ‘70s) I’ve felt compelled to preserve [...]

Connection Between Covid Vaccination and Six Types of Cancer A large-scale South Korean study on September 26, 2025, with data from over 8.4 million people, suggests that COVID-19 vaccination may be interconnected with an increased risk of six types of cancer. Among those evaluated, a so-called statistical link (which is not proof of causality) with increased risks of thyroid, stomach, colon, lung, breast and prostate cancer could be established in the first year after vaccination. According to the study published in the Journal "Biomarker Research", the so-called "hazard ratios" [...]

For me personally, I was blessed to share a time of joy with a family Christmas that will remain a lifelong memory.

 . . . 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 [...]

Stabilizing the Nervous System Holistic Therapy of Polyneuropathy Polyneuropathy is the presence of a systemic disease in which damage to the peripheral nervous system occurs. As a result, the function of the affected nerves is disturbed. Since several nerves or nerve structures are affected, this is called polyneuropathy (Greek poly = several). The prevalence of polyneuropathy in Germany is two to three percent of the general population. In the group of over 55-year-olds, it is even eight percent. Symptoms of Polyneuropathy [...]

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.

My gratitude is unbounding for my tech support, Chad Jerrett of JR Direct IT & Marketing Services in Delta, BC Canada. Chad initially worked for OIRF as my assistant back in the mid-1990s prior to our move to the [...]

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?
