Transformation and Dissent September 2021 Let me begin with a brief explanation and apology. The weeks of August and early September have been life transforming. My Mom and I managed to safely make our road-trip trek to Edmonton and back home only to find that it will be our last vacation or “escape”. Our Prime Minister called a snap general federal election to be held today (Sept. 20); new outbreaks of COVID have intensified even though nearly 80% of the eligible provincial population has received at least one

Research and Quotes from the Industry Along with a few Comments from this Peanut Gallery! June 2021 Spring passes to summer once again and here we are.

My mind has been spinning with the input of exceptional information and the considerations of the consequences of the ever-encroaching regulative restrictions. Like the

A Plea for Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll; The Music of the Dandelion In recent years Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll (EAV) has somewhat fallen into oblivion – similarly to nosodes. However, even through the computer era this method can quickly and inventively support therapists: It helps with diagnostics of among other things chronic seriously ill patients.

Nevertheless, as a specialist in general medicine it is a method that

OIRF Chinese Medical Classics From the Announcements, Updates and Reminders, August 2019 Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters, It’s finally done. The over four months of detailed bleary-eyed computer work has finally been completed, and I am pleased to announce that the digitalized third version of the OIRF Chinese Medical Classics is now available.

EAV Mini-Manual for Point and Medication Testing: I am pleased to announce the introduction of a new publication for those learning the EAV-type point and medication testing methods. What I have called the “EAV Mini-Manual” is a careful and precise compilation of the information that is used in the traditional EAV measurement approach using the distal (or Ting) points.
