Bill, the student from here at Palmer are gearing up to leave to set up their Outreach clinic in Nepal. There has been great results from this project in past years, and we have been going several times a year for several years. Unfortunately I will not be going due to the fact that $4K is a lot of money to spend! Anyway, these students have been doing fundraisers, bakesales, raffles, etc to raise money not to lower their own cost of going, but rather to help the children of Nepal. Last time the group went they raised enough to establish a small, permanent children's hospital clinic!
Anyway, Bill, if you think the kamis would be interested in getting some free, excellent health care, then let me know and I will get the exact details of where the clinic will be setup and when. I believe they are leaving in a week or two. This project is unusual, too, for several reasons. First, is the very nature of chiropractic health care...with this system of health care we see amazing results for all sorts of conditions in a very short amount of time. Secondly, it is absolutely free to the patients, and requires no complicated medicines or any other significant risks to the patients' health. These students who are going are highly dedicated to helping people and that is their priority. It is not a "rack 'em, stack 'em and crack 'em" setup, either. All students who will be doing the adjustments are cleared for clinic work here in the States, and have gone through a full program of diagnosis, technqiue, etc. Our training is in many ways equivalent to that of MD's, only we approach the patient with a different philosophy. All adjustments are observed by licensed DC's, and in most countries, local MD's and nurses. There are interpreters so that a full case history can be done, and the protocols used on patients here in the States are the same ones that will be used in Nepal. A full file with orthopedic tests, physical, etc is made up on nearly every patient. Also, patients are invited to come back as many times as they can while the Outreach is there, so they can get followup care and be reassessed. It is a very successful program that travels to nearly a dozen countries every year, Nepal being probably the favorite one as reported by returning students. Anyway, since the kamis (as well as their families, friends, etc) will be in a unique position to receieve the highest standard of non-invasive health care in the world, and I'd be interested to hear their reports if they go! As I said, I will get all the details if you give the word. Thanks!
