Gabriela Psychiatry Nurse from Switzerland writes back her experiences as a Nada India volunteer


I am psychiatry nurse working in Switzerland in a clinic for alcoholism and drug dependency. I am doing a volunteer commitment in the Nada India Foundation as a psychiatry nurse, acupuncture and auricolo therapeut.
Currently, I am involved with various network member organization projects of Nada India in Delhi NCR.

-Vasudev Nursing Care Center, South Delhi

My areas of responsibility  are to train the caregivers in auricolotherapy (NADA Protocol) , to school in psychiatric  focus areas as a psychiatric nurse, treatments in auricolotherapy for in-house and outpatient, gathering of stats in NADA Ear-Acupuncture.

The  local students (caregivers) were very much interested and curious  to learn this treatment modality.

The patients at times afraid of the needles. After a few treatment the feedback is positive and they report are, that NADA  acupuncture  has had positive effects on detoxification and well-being. They are more calm, sleeping better and the withdrawal symptoms are  more tolerable.




For me it is a pleasure to stay here in Delhi, working for Nada India Foundation.
The people are extremely helpfully and friendly. The experience with the organization, team work, to come in contact with local people, patience, another culture and health system.
It is a most impressive enrichment experience of my life!

Regards

Gabriela

A statement about Michael Smith by his family

  * A statement about Michael Smith We are respectfully submitting this history as we, his family, experienced it. We hope it is helpful.

The history of Lincoln Hospital and Lincoln Detox in the 1970’s was of special interest to me,  as I participated in much of it and may have a unique perspective, as I was married to Mike Smith at the time.

Mike’s history as a medical student and doctor was all about free clinics. Mike started working with the Black Panther Party when he was a medical student in

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. A couple of them were led to the few vacant seats so were some of the non journalists INS staff.

Prof. T.K.Thomas  The annual World No Tobacco Day was observed on 31st May. The day is observed by the World Health Organization [WHO] and global partners as an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure and to discourage the use of tobacco in any form. This year’s focus for the day was, “Tobacco and lung health” . Everyone knows how tobacco affects our lungs. The WHO release says, the campaign will increase awareness on, “the negative impact that tobacco has on people’s lung health, from cancer, to chronic respiratory diseases”. There are frightening figures about the mortality attached to tobacco related diseases. A study by three Indian researchers in 2012 revealed that “tobacco is a leading preventable cause of death, killing nearly six million people worldwide each year. Reversing this entirely preventable man made epidemic should be our top priority. The global tobacco epidemic kills more people than tuberc
