Dear Michael,
that presentation, your text, your words from 1995 were the
seed, the reason for me - as an licensed acupuncturist for many years before -
to do NADA, to teach it and to spread it in Germany with my dear NADA colleagues
in the last two decades, when I returned from my first NADA Conference in NYC.
That was the essence. And it took some years more to learn it really.
When I met you the first time in 1995 at Lincoln you said: "acupuncture acts
completely different from an intelligent medication". And at the US conference New Orleans I learned that NADA acts not
"unspecific" but "universal".
I am thankful that you taught me acupuncture in a
different way: as a tool to be respectful and to be thankful to take part in a
process of letting go, to be curious for a healing process.
That`s why I like to work on and on as a doctor .
All the best

Response to Dr.Ralph
It is wonderful to read what Dr. Raben wrote. We need
the input of physicians like you, Michael, and Ralph who understand that healing
begins with compassion not incarceration, etc. The sooner people are
exposed to healing the sooner they discover who they really are and can focus
on their destiny. Most offenders do not believe they have a destiny and so they
don't care about consequences.
Acupuncture is the window to the soul that judges can use to
help individuals recover. We need doctors to help us teach judges and
lawyers so there will be credibility at both sides.
Thank you for sharing your feelings and thoughts.
