Institute Staff Directory
site search by freefind
If you are interested in our work, feel free to contact Institute staff members - we enjoy chatting when we have the time. The Institute staff is spread over three continents; and we generally work and teach out of our homes. All of us are volunteers, and most of us have other careers.
Most of the staff are heavily involved with fundamental research or applying psycho-immunology to new diseases; many see clinic clients; some also teach our courses; a few work on growing our impact. And former staff helped make this all possible.
Our main office is in Canada.

Edward Rodziewicz
Pila, Poland
"My philosophy is searching for the possibilities of human development, and healing what has limited it, especially addictions. More physically I'm interesting in organizing the ISPS affiliate in Poland and Europe, and organizing WHH and PeakState courses for therapists and teachers."
Edward died of a stroke March 18, 2012. He was the original inspiration for our work to come to Poland, and he co-directed our efforts in Poland for many years. He was truly dedicated to our humanity project, a warm, capable and loving man and an exceptional advanced therapist. He is greatly missed by all who knew him.

Dr. Waisel lives in Haifa, Israel."
Dr. Waisel died of a heart attack at his home July 21, 2005. He was an outstanding person, physician and healer who focused his entire life to find ways to better mankind. He is greatly missed.
