The holistic healthcare practitioners featured in Unimagined Bridges:

The holistic healthcare practitioners featured in Unimagined Bridges: Ear Acupuncture Treatment for Disaster Trauma utilize the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association’s (NADA) 5-point ear acupuncture protocol. This simple but effective protocol, commonly known as Acu Detox, has been successfully used for 35 years in addiction programs around the world.

Unimagined Bridges chronicles how Acu Detox was used at New York’s ground zero and in storm-ravaged Louisiana to provide first responders and community members relief from anxiety, depression and insomnia.

The events of 9/11 had a particular ripple effect in the acupuncture community. In the aftermath of the attacks, a flood of holistic health-care practitioners came forward to offer aid. Two initiatives that resulted from their efforts were the walk-in ear acupuncture clinics of St Vincent’s hospital in Manhattan, offered through its Integrative Stress Management (ISM) program, and the Community Relief and Rebuilding through Education and Wellness (CRREW) group.

This 18-minute video is an excellent educational tool as well as an inspiring story of how ancient traditional healing techniques are being used to address acute trauma across the globe.

To surmount these barriers, a fusion of compassionate, community-based met...
