Acudetox counseling workshop for Work life Balance at Department of Social Work (MANUU), Hyderabad


A Workshop on Acudetox counseling for Work life Balance, Stress management and Addiction treatment was organized in the Department of Social Work on dated 21.10.2013. The workshop was presided over by Prof.H.Y. Siddiqui and coordinated by Dr.Mohd. Shahid Associate Professor & Head, Department of Social work, Mualana Azad National Urdu University Hyderabad The participants were mainly the students of social work and few from other departments. Two major organizations named NADA India Foundation, New Delhi and 2nd Life Wellness Centre, Hyderabad have anchored the workshop. Mr SuneelVatsyayan, MSW, NADA ADS Chairman Nada India, New Delhi and Dr Sagar, NADA ADS2nd Life Wellness Centre, Hyderabad were the major resource persons.  

 The workshop aimed to facilitate the participants in developing programs and to address the issues of work life balance, Stress and Control /stop alcohol or tobacco. As the given issues are one of the major emerging areas of social work practices, the workshop helped students to see and realise how they can make the better and effective use of such techniques in their professional deliverable as a value added service. It was also observed that use of such techniques can also be applied for the healthy rapport building and developing trust with the clientage.
The workshop was very participative and interactive where all the participants have taken interest and found themselves free while sharing, discussing and seeking information and clearing their doubts.   

Process Details: The workshop had two characteristic divides. In the first, Mr Suneel Vatsyayan started from our childhood experiences of how some fear gets fixed with our cognitive surface and impacts our present thoughts and feelings. For this Mr. Vatsyayan facilitated the participants to look back to their childhood and to find impressions of how we feared injections and needle but otherwise helpful for us. After that he discussed about AcudetoxNADA Protocol. He emphasised that Acudetox Counselling helps person to get relax from inside and to think consciously about self. He explained that human ear is main medium through which different body functioning are stimulated. 
He pointed out specific designated points on human ear that when acupunctured with sterilised and disposable needles, generates some sensations that attract us to think of what is happening to the body, in turn consciousness and attention to self develops that is useful for the bringing back internal energies in more useful manner. Further it helps in preventing us from distractions and guiding us in the positive and productive direction.

Next divide was the Acudetox session where all the participants including faculty members have practically experienced the Acudetox Protocol through acupuncture on their ear for 30 minutes. After that feedback was taken from all. Different feeling and experiences were observed from different participants. Some have pointed out that during lecture they were feeling sleepy but after the acudetox session they feel energetic and fresh. Some have pointed out that before the session the PPT slides were not as vivid as they are after the acupuncture was over. Some said that they felt sensation and warmth around their ear which bound them to think consciously about is happening or happens to them as an impact of this session.

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. Deborah Valentine Smith I recently attended an excellent webinar on t he African American History of Acupuncture by  Dr.  Tenisha Dandridge, hosted by Acupuncturists without Borders. 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. While I appreciated much of the history shared in this Webinar, I can’t agree with a couple of the statements about Mike. The statement in Dr. Dandridge’s presentation that “he did not approve of the politics brought with the free clinics,” makes it sound like Mike did not approve of the free clinics themselves. 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

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

'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. A couple of them were led to the few vacant seats so were some of the non journalists INS staff. Acupuncture Detoxification specialist and associates and assistant  inserted needles in their ears with care and precisely without hurting them.
