NADA Protocol Dr Smith


 

NADA protocol Dr Smith – EAR ACUPUNCTURE PROTOCOL MEETS GLOBAL NEEDS Developed in the 1970s at Lincoln Hospital (Bronx, NY), the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol was originally used as a supportive component in drug and alcohol treatment settings. The 3-5 point ear acupuncture formula controlled withdrawal symptoms and helped patients become more clear-headed and comfortable. Nearly 1000 licensed drug treatment programs use acupuncture in the US according to federal N-SSATS statistics. The 21st century has brought a remarkable expansion in the use of the NADA protocol.

The jail program was expanded because of an 80% reduction in violent incidents. Post-trauma treatments have been given to community members after 9/11 and Katrina. Treatments for firemen have been permanently institutionalized in both cities. Ear acupuncture for stress has been used by thousands of Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in India through NADA-India Foundation. NADA acupuncture has changed the face of psychiatric hospital care in Northern Europe. 3000 nurses have been trained in 100 different government facilities. Refugee services in war-torn areas have been particularly impressive. The DARE program in Thailand has provided ear acupuncture for many years with a dozen different Burmese tribes in border camps. NADA was introduced during a 2 week training
