Donate Needles: NADA Philippines!

Hello friends.

We are in the process of setting up NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) Philippines! Nada protocol training is ongoing this October and hopefully by next year, NADA Philippines is born!

We just finished our community clinic on 9th Oct 2010. We were able to give ear acupuncture treatments to more than 500 slum dwellers of Barangay Pansol, Quezon city where drug addiction is a major concern.

This coming November trainees from Baler Quezon, Infanta Quezon will be trained and we shall expect to treat more than 500 community people again for three days. We use 10 needles per patient, 5 needles each ear. Please help by donating needles for our November community clinic. I will send you pictures of our Pansol community that ended yesterday.

'NADA acupuncture is a public health model that adds a valuable component to the behavioral health fields', says Dr. Michael.O. Smith, Some were dozing off;some with drooping.heads;some in a sort of trance;some snoring off. They all had one thing in common- sterilized acupuncture needles carefully pierced in one of their ears. It was a cloudy and chilly February afternoon in Delhi. Even some of the large contingent of journalists who routinely take the flights of steps at the reception of the I N S building in Rafi Marg were inquisitive.
