I am very interested in your comment regarding western approaches to PTSD and mental illness. I am interested in initiatives and strategies used in other nations and continents particularly for treatment of PTSD.  Please share your perspectives and that of your country.

I am a California, USA, licensed acupuncturist. Even, for the initial mentor disorder, the NADA acupuncture is easy to perform and train local people to do it. I attach a link that you can contact them to see if can hold a training for your local people.

Where are you located?

I used to treat more severe cases. But, I discovered that my two hand treatment speed cannot compete with the severe sick patients generated speed. So, I changed my strategy to close my clinic. I am organizing my whole body healing system. Actually, everyone has self-healing power that can be activated by a 5 min exercise.

Actually, my whole body healing system is an advanced system to prevent illnesses.

I am a Memphian.  I am aware of certain beliefs that mental illness is a well developed  social construct rather than a reality.  There is a book - I believed its called Making Crazy that discusses this.  As a helper, I have seen and applaud  the positive aspects behavioral health care.  There is also the notion of pathologizing human behavior to the extremme as seen in the DSM.  Grant this is the only and best system of  dx. that we have in behavioral health.  The impact of labeling becomes self fulfilling prophesy.  ie. I am labelled crazy, (disabled, or  unfit) therefore I will act as I believe you expect me to. 

 I had hoped that you might specify areas that you felt that western approaches were lacking and also beneficial, if possible. Is there room for integration of your approach and the clinical behavioral approach particularly in the care of individuals who have experienced trauma. I must admit, I am answering before reading your link.  I will get back to you once I read it.  Thanks for your response.

I do believe that there is a link of the Chinese medicine and the western medicine. Nowadays, technology keeping advanced and can prove more of the Chinese medicine is right. Even can prove willing power exist and guide people to success.

As the majority of the researchers is putting the effort in the tangible way to cure diseases. There are invisible ways to make the patients turning better quicker and cheaper such as the acupuncture manipulate the Qi flowing. The cosmic energy like acupuncture, but has a stronger power than acupuncture in many cases, especially, have multiple healers collaborate and the universal ethical code regulates our health and karma. This field is posted under my whole body healing system project.

That's why I spend my time to interact with researchers to catch attention and use a different angle to think about how to help patients better. Meanwhile, cut down medical cost. Please spend 3-4 minutes to watch my video. Thanks.

Sometimes, treat patients is not too hard. Only some words to turn the patient's mindset around, the diseases solved. Such as the NLP treatments, China has people using ethical education by talking to treat diseases even cancer. The patients vomiting out a lot of phlegm or diarrhea out toxins in the body and getting better and better when they regret their mistakes and ask forgiveness.

In the universe, the invisible power is far bigger than the visible power that can interfere our health, our life even fortunate and/or death.
