Suffering? Local Residents get great results again this month with Japanese Style Acupuncture


Reply to: mark perrenjones <markperrenjones@gmail.com>

Japanese style acupuncture helps more Boquete residents, find out what it can do for you.

All of the treatments done below have been from using a style of Japanese acupuncture that is virtually painless using superfine pins and a special Japanese acupuncture technique.

 

Here are just some of the results (and comments) from April/May this year from local residents:

· Chronic Rotator cuff problem: " I wish I never had surgery" after suffering from shoulder pain, having surgery and still not much better, was pain free in 4 treatments

· Shoulder pain: "I am back golfing again!" ( client who had suffered from painful shoulder condition-fixed in 3 treatments)

· Arthritis joint pains: "I have my life back!" (a client who had been suffering from knee, shoulder, foot and hip pains was much better after just one treatment!)

· Osteoarthritis: " I am so much better, my pain is now a two from a ten on a scale of one to ten" (client who was suffering from knee, hip and neck pain radiating down into her arm after one treatment)

· Poor energy levels: " I feel normal again" ( client who had been suffering from poor energy levels for many months)

· Hearing problems: "it has definitely improved-my wife has noticed the difference in my hearing"

· More hearing problems: "its much better, I can now hear the higher voices on the television commercials where I couldn't hear them at all before"

· Carpal tunnel syndrome: "its absolutely fine now" (client after one treatment, and speaking with him 3 weeks later)

· More carpal tunnel syndrome: " I no longer need the brace at nights!"

· And much more!

Find out about our Packages of affordable treatments

 

Please feel free to call me to see how I may be able to help you too

Call Mark on 69486664  or at The Haven on 730 9345 or email me.

 

 

Some results from March this year:

  • Plantar fasciitis(heel spur): "I can finally walk without pain"
  • Lower Back Pain: after spending 5 days in hospital on morphine for the pain, a client came to see me and was completely pain free in just 4 sessions
  • Knee pain: "WOW, this is incredible"( a client who is scheduled for knee surgery because of chronic meniscus pain and swelling walks out of the room after one session of acupuncture experiencing NO PAIN"- she also has less swelling and pain in her ankles which she was also suffering from)
  • Fibromyalgia: "I havent felt this good in a long time"( long time sufferer of fibromyalgia after her first treatment)
  • Shoulder Pain: "Look at this!!" ( a client showing me how he can finally lift both shoulders above his head after not being able to do it for months)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: 3 cases cured after 2-3 sessions each. (Acupuncture has been shown to treat CTS very effectively for many years and is recommended by the world health organisation)
  • Headaches: "its gone"( a client who had been suffering from a headache for 3 straight days got up off the table after her treatment and no longer had her headache)
  • Calf cramps: "Increible!"( an elderly lady from Boquete who had been suffering from cramps in her calves each night no longer has them after 2 treatments-also, the pain in her hips and thighs no longer troubles her)
  • Knee Pain: "you are walking like a normal person"( after many years of having to place her weight on her left side and using her left leg one step at a time to go up and down stairs because her right knee is too painful to put any weight on it, her husband watches her come down the stairs at Cacsa building placing her weight evenly on both feet and says to her "wow, you are walking like a normal person")
  • And many more...

Some results from January this year from local residents:

· SCIATICA :A client who was treated with just 8 treatments over a year ago, (and was told that she would need back surgery and should never play golf again) said" you cured my sciatica, I haven't suffered from it again and am playing golf-better than ever"

· NUMBNESS AND TINGLING IN HANDS : "I don't have it at all anymore, it's completely gone"

· NUMBNESS ON BOTTOM OF FOOT: " wow, this is my first experience with acupuncture but I can believe after two months of this numbness, it has gone after one treatment"

· STOMACH PAIN FOR MONTHS: "I CANT BELIEVE IT!, I have tried everything, the doctors don't know what it is and after just one treatment it's gone after all these months. I don't know how acupuncture works but it does"

· BRONCHIAL DISORDER: " I FEEL WAY BETTER"

· LOW ENERGY: "it's great, when I feel run down It takes about 2 to 3 treatments and it's like I get a boost again-my energy is much better"

· BLOCKED EARS: "They are 90% improved" (after one treatment)

Testimonials from last year, the full versions are available on request.

· "We have had very positive results" Harry B (asthma and knee trauma)

· "The Haven designed a dual program of treatments which quickly resulted in total relief" Jim K( back and knee pain)

· "I was on 10 different prescription drugs taking 15 pills a day. I am now down to 2 pills a day." Bobby P (chronic renal problems)

· "I feel I have my life back, no pain." Sonia K (Back, hip and neck pain)

· "In all honesty I was amazed." Trish C (hip pain)

· "The three sessions received in two days far exceeded the hundreds of medical visits in my life that were always palliative" Fabio P ( asthma)

· "After several weeks I am down to one pill in the morning for the day. Unbelievable! Relief, after all those years."

Another 72 animals sterilized yesterday

Reply to: Ruby McKenzie <valjala2@gmail.com>

Thanks to the immense and continued efforts of our volunteers and vets, 48 dogs and 24 cats were sterilized in yesterday's clinic.
We took in $359 from owners of the animals and received $20 in donations.  Since we pay our vets $10 per dog and $5 per cat, you can see why we still have fundraising activities and really appreciate donations.  Thank you Boquete for your continued support of our cause as hopefully one day there will be no unsterilized unwanted animals on our streets.  Look for coming events such as our Venta de Patio Sale, August 14, 2011 and Bid 4 Boquete in early February 2012.  Right now we are collecting items for the Venta de Patio.  As you clean out your closets, bodegas, extra storage areas, bring your items to the TMM or to Curvas in Alto Boquete.  This is a wonderful event for all concerned.  We will also be selling plants as well as donated baked goods.  Keep an eye open for announcements.

Again, thanks to all our our volunteers for the energy spent in helping us at the clinic.  Our next clinic is June 26 at the Amigos office behind the Fundadores hotel.  Call Jessica at 6563-8686 or email her:  boqueteanimales@gmail.com for an appointment.  Together we are making a HUGE difference.  Ruby McKenzie Founder and President, Fundación Amigos de los Animales.

2) Background Information about the Auction


As health care volunteers in the clinic, Centro de Salud 'Beatriz Kant', we have noticed that parts of the building are in very poor physical condition. This is why we have been motivated to raise money to contribute to a renovation project at the health clinic.


Background information about the Centro de Salud 'Beatriz Kant': Centro de Salud 'Beatriz Kant' is the healthcare clinic located next to the supermarket 'Romero'. The facility provides care for individuals who do not have insurance. Among other services, they also provide milk powder for pregnant women and mothers to ensure that their children receive adequate nutrition.

What needs to be done? Areas of the clinic that need renovation include the ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. We have also noticed that areas of the clinic are unsanitary, and garbage containment needs to be improved.

This is why we are hosting a silent auction which will take place TOMORROW, Thursday the 26th, at Restaurant Barú. Bids open at 5pm, and close 7pm.

What can YOU do?  COME TO OUR EVENT!!!

3) What is a Silent Auction


A Silent auction is a variant of an English auction where bids are written on a sheet of paper. At the end of the auction (7 o'clock in our case), the highest listed bidder will win the item. The auction is "silent" because there will be no auctioneer selling individual items, but rather, the bidders will write their bids on a bidding sheet left on a table next to the item.  Bid sheets will have a fixed starting amount and predetermined bid increments. The highest bidder pays the price he or she submitted.
