About the creation of Facial Reflexology, Method Lone Sorensen

thank you I were only 14 years old when I began to have it like an interest in a different medicine than the traditional one this because of some experience I had in my own family health but also when I were 14 years old I began working after school in a health store in Copenhagen so this was my first touch it was all this alternative medicine vitamins and different supplements I had to deal with every day in this Hellstorm and when I have worked there for about four years the owner he decided to sell the stove and I decided to buy it and it was also in this whole store I made food reflexology for the first time in my life because the first school in Denmark or food reflexology opened just beside my stall so I became very excited to learn about food reflexology to hear about it so I started studying food reflexology this was in 1978 so it is about today 42 years since and it took one year I was studying by night and working in my store during the day and after one year more some other schools showed up in Denmark it became very popular very fast the food reflexology in Denmark and they also became some um we can say a more structured education so I did the full education again because the first education were actually very poor of course it was very new and it didn't had like a good structure yet so a new school started to offer um courses in Denmark education and food reflexology in the Chinese food reflexology called TCM reflexology and it was two years education so I also did by night as I still had my hail storm so after this two years I studied more I decided also to be a acupuncturist it took three years by night and after that I also did what we call thoughts for health in this year I also became very very interested in laser therapy actually I have worked much more with laser therapy for acupuncture than with needles and also color therapy which I started in England and in Italy so I was very very active in my profession and I studied really a lot I also became a Roman therapist I also studied box flower medicine and you know sure if you are in this alternative or complementary therapy as I used to call it we can keep on studying the rest of our life and I did at least 200 courses when we count everything today so it's a long long journey with a lot of education but the basic is what I told you now but also uh at one moment it became too much for me I got very very fast many clients I had many clients from the very beginning actually already when the first year in the wild time I was starting I started off having client in a little room beside my store so I had my store I had treatment and I had it had education and um after some years it became too much I have to decide do I want to be a health store owner or do I want to be a therapist and I choose to be a therapist so in a moment I sold my store and I moved very close to the airport in Copenhagen in this area where also were born and they opened a clinic there and the school because I also began teaching you can maybe imagine in this time there was not a lot of teacher so the one who got most experience fastest we became teachers so I had a house where I had 11 employees and I also had teaching and treatment in the same space and I also whatever I were very very busy and very active I also managed to have some children my oldest daughter when I was 19 and when I were 23 I got my son and I got my son with a health problem basically to just do it short it was very much about epileptic attack so life became also more difficult for me and the in these years where I have to manage my clinic as sick child I also because I spent many hours in the hospital I studied homeopathic medicine and so this is is like my background and already um in this year I got a huge interest in children I had like a a wish that I really wanted to help children with special need problems um in this moment I was very focused on children with school problems and the school where I have been in school my myself as a child they allowed me to work with children in special need groups and I did some personally what can we say research but just for myself to combine Churchville Health Food reflexology and actually I also did cranial Society therapy and um I had some results it was quite fascinating because I really saw a transformation in this group of children and we're working with it was about 20 children but it was also like when I stopped working with them the result I have obtained they were like not lasting so I was really wondering what is going on how can I obtain croissant and why do they not last it was a big preoccupation I had during this time and in a moment I went to a addictional cause of acupuncture with a Chinese doctor Dr Wong who was invited to Denmark in the school of acupuncture where I have studied um and first I thought no now I have done so many courses you know you cannot just study study study so I decided Well I will not go but in last moment I decided I changed my decision and I went to this course and I thought so many times after wow that was good that I changed my mind and I went to this course with this Chinese doctor I had a very profoundly talk about my project with the children and I told him about how disappointed I were because I were working with this children I got results and when I stopped working with them whatever I maybe give them 12 or 15 16 treatments then it was like they the the result disappeared again and he said to me I will tell you one thing if you do not work with some specific acupuncture points on the face you will never get a good result which is lasting so he gave me 16 points and he told me try to combine the 16 points with your food reflexology and then you will see chains so I decided okay I will do this project again and now I could see faster the salt more clear result and also lastic results so yes it was right really some very exciting years for me where I tried out already in this moment to do something better that we had in this moment in food reflexology in Denmark in these years it was from 79 until 88 I'm talking about the most common client we had it was climbed with muscle problems with structural problems maybe with allergy or stress problems stress related problems at this time so um we didn't had a lot of other experiences at all with brain related problem or with ulcera or the cancer and all these kind of things we have today it was really muscle problems which was number one and I got like a contract with the the Scandinavian Airlines company they had very close to my clinic a big a big building with 600 women's working with riding machines at this time and these women they had a lot of problems they were working day and night it was flights a company so of course it was both 24 hours actually so I got like a contract as a kind of company work where me and my staff we should maintain uh this employees with food reflexology for muscle problems basically later I also got a contract with a a group of more men related work as the one who took care of the blockage and all this heavy work in the airport and we also had a maintainment contract for this group so very early I also started like what we can call company work I also got a contract with the local police and the different were that the police were coming to make my clinic to be treated and but for the Scandinavian Airlines I had to send therapists to the airport to work so it was really really busy years for me and at the same time as I saw told you I got a son with health problems basically the largest problem were that his illness caused a huge amount every week of epileptic attack and many many hours in the hospital so when it comes to the point with my own son when he was three years old I nearly gave up I saw him in so bad condition I were nearly sure I would lose him and it was of course a very emotionally strong moment for me and of course I were very young and as I told you there were absolutely no experience at this moment in acupuncture for questions about brain dysfunction or reflexology at all but in homeopathic medicine yes and I had one of the best teachers in homeopathic medicine in in whole Denmark and he told me several times when I talked to him about my son's situation that I should try a specific homeopathic medicine he was recommended me and in a moment my son he was in so bad condition that I felt I have no choice I have to try to save his life I have to try it so yes I started up giving my son homeopathic medicine and actually in no time his whole situation changed so much that um yes I also started then I got like a power to see that the homeopathic medicine could really help him that I also started to treat him myself so I treated him with food reflexology I used also craniosaccharide therapy in this moment for him and I also used this knowledge I had from the Chinese doctor about the brain issues so very very fast my son he recovered in six seven months he was actually like a totally normal child and without epileptic attack so this was the background I took with me to Argentina in 1988 and of course I were very curious what do they know about reflexology in Argentina I was also wondering can I learn something new in Argentina I had absolutely no idea it was a moment where no email and the telephone was also not a thing that everybody had so yes everything was like a adventure and I arrived to a city called Bahia Blanca which is in the middle of Argentina in the coast side on the top of a very very big hill and there were only Road of Earth up to my house and as I already told you we have no telephone and also I will not speaking Spanish so it was like condition I had to begin with and um we lived there and I was thinking what can I do how can I eventually start up working here in this place with reflexology um I asked some of my family can you help me to find out if somebody know about reflexology here but nobody have never heard this word they didn't even know what it was about well I had to feed my children so the first I did it was to begin baking bread and I did of very natural substances they say Brit and I found out that it was not a bad idea if you cannot speak with people do something they can eat this is a good way to get the First Communication and everybody there around me in this hill they had an idea this woman see is not really a baker no see no other things and every week in the beginning I had no idea why an elderly man he came to ask me for some money um and they had just paid him it was not a lot of money I just paid him without knowing what it was for and every time he came to my door he showed me his leg he had a big big ulcerer it was from the knee to the angle and it was really really bad looking and he showed me and he expressed all with body language that it was very very painful and I also understood that he have had this ulcera for 30 years my God 30 years with salsa ulcerer and he had it packed in like in plastic so I said to him you must take this plastic away I tried to communicate him that but he said no no the medical doctor was the one who told him to keep it enclosed in plastic okay so I offered him I can help you if you like and he said no I'm very poor I cannot take it this from you I I have no money I said I would like to help you also if you are not able to pay but he didn't like in the beginning to receive that so every week he came he claimed about his Lake he told me about his leg and one day I saw his face there was no doubt he really had very much pain so he accepted finally my offer so I gave him food reflexology and also I had my laser therapy with me so I also applied laser on his ulcera directly and after about 10 12 treatments his ulcera were totally cured and then from this day I didn't had time for making bread anymore because this same man he walked around from door to door to door and told people about his keyword oil Sarah very very happy this was the way I got my first client and I think this is a very beautiful story also confirming that the best way we can get clients in our life it is by recommendation from our clients I'm very very sure that it's the only way so I began having clients with other kinds of of health problems certainly I had a man with psoriasis all over his body which was a pathology I I never tried before in this moment in my life I also had people coming with al-sara I had clients with um with asthma I have much more different Health situation different Health situation than I never had in Denmark but well I just jumped into it I did my very best worked a lot with all my knowledge about food reflexology and laser therapy and one day after about five months I have been in Argentina with a huge queue in front of my door every day with clients without any appointment time because it just came and they just waited in queue on one after one I attempted all of them from early morning till to very often very late night and the Word was spreading so it was like this cue never ended one day I had a little break uh I were looking out of my window we had an old bus coming up to the top of the hill and a very young girl she were leaving the bus she came with the bus and I was just shocked to see her she had very hard to walk she were suffering of plasticity very very much she had her arms her finger her legs her feet her body all with a very huge specificity she could hardly walk and after about 15 minutes something like that suddenly it knocked my door and I opened the door and it was her and she said to me I would like to have treatment from you I have heard about the Danish woman here and I have been recommended to visit you and this is first time in in my life now I have been working like it was in 88 it I have been working 10 years as a food reflexologist with a huge amount of clients but I never had one who had suffered a brain damage what happened this girl she had a brain damage when she was 19 and now she was about 22 it was three years since she had her brain damage she had a surgery in her brain so I actually my reaction were no I cannot attend you I have no experiences in this kind of brain issues and I have I think it's not a good idea to work with you without experience and she became so very sad and of course um I felt sad for her so I like took a decision very quick I said to her okay I believe strongly that I am not wrong that you need food reflexology as everybody else without or will brain damage everybody we need um therapy to maintain our body in good condition our organs our glands our blood circulation so if you will be happy to receive a treatment as this without I can promise you anything about what will happen related to your brain damage I will treat you so we agreed about that and I began to work with her with food reflexology it was very very difficult because he really actually were very I think she could only move around because her will it was difficult to get her on the treatment table it was difficult to work with her feet because they were so much spasticity in her toes and feet and legs but I manage and I gave her two treatments at week I could imagine myself that once a week would not be enough for such a case with this kind of problems they must have more intensive treatments so she came up to the top of my Hill uh two times that week a lot of challenges for her to get to my place and then it came to a moment where I've been in Argentina for about six months and some of my family they came to visit my house and they told me they were on their way to the more south of Argentina to the mountains in between Chile and Argentina a place with the name copao and they told me that in this place there were a very special nature where we find 11 Vulcans very close to each other and where many people from around the world Argentine people but also from Japan from United States they come there to take care of their health many people once a year and it is about taking bath in these Balkans and I found it so interesting for me it sounds amazing so I decided okay I will just close my little treatment room and I will travel with my family to this place so I did and it was just amazing to discover such a beautiful place and to see how many people they were coming there very concentrated in four months of the year to Bath in the natural Vulcan it it is a area very specific and very unique in the world and east of the Balkans they have different colors the water is different colors and the water has different temperature and there is like a medical house in this area where the people before they can go and bath in the natural um Boykins they have to go through like a kind of analyzing and a test by a medical doctor and then the medical doctor will tell each person how to use the Vulcans how many minutes combination of one Vulcan with another one depends of the health problem the individual person have very extremely interesting area in the world and of course I were amazed about to meet this to learn about it and to see it but I also noticed that in the valley a little bit longer down when I were there on the top of this mountain there were Aboriginal I could see tense and wow I I was also amazed I'm from Denmark no I I were amazed to see Aboriginal in real life and first really I thought it was a movie you know but I realized no this is not a movie it is real Aboriginal and I asked my family and they said oh we really don't know anything about this but don't go there they could be dangers they keep distance they told me well but I were excited about this seeing this down in the valley 11 12 teams uh real Aboriginal tense so I decided next morning very early to ride my horse down there to take a look a little bit closer how it was and of course there were like some kind nervous I didn't know really what I were doing to say it honestly and when I were down there I like moved behind the tins suddenly I saw inside a tint there were like an opening I saw a woman sitting on the ground and in her on her legs she had a head of another woman where she were working like first I thought a kind of massage but I was like totally paralyzed just looking at her and more I was looking I could see this is not a body massage because actually I didn't set it but I also learned in Denmark a kind of Chinese body massage Meridian massage so I also know about how his massage so it was like this elderly woman sitting in this tent she were moving her hand different and it comes came up in my mind this is like a food reflexology but on the face and actually In This Moment I decided this is facial prefixality and as the time just went I was standing and looking and looking suddenly this elderly woman she also looked at me and first she looked like shocked as I maybe have looked shocked at her when I saw her in the moment but then she began smiling and she just smiled and smiled and she looked at me and I smiled to her and then I moved a little bit closer then she gave me a sign that I could come even closer so I ended actually up sitting by her side this first day and observed very closely at what she was doing so I went there for a couple of hours and I saw her working with different faces this was like a thing I would never have thought in my life could happen I was so excited about it so I went back by horse higher up where we were located close to the Balkans and I began asking people around do you know something about this Aboriginal do you know what they are doing and people they said no actually we we don't have any close relationship with them um the only thing they come here in the morning and they sell cheese and they sell wool but there's really no communication they don't speak Spanish they have their own language we don't know anything about their culture they told me they are normates that they move and I also learned and found out that in this area kopawei it's only possible to go there four months a year because the rest of the year is totally covered with snow and in the at this time this abolition will move some people in the area upstairs in the hotel they told me there's an old medical doctor over there in this companion they said in this little wood house maybe he knows something because he had been working many many years here in kopahu so I went to knock his door and I asked him the same question do you know anything about this do you know what is they are doing a kind of stimulation on the face no actually he said I never saw that I don't have very close relationship with him and he actually just told me the same as they told me in the hotel they are coming to sell cheese and wool every morning and he also told me that he always wondered why they only want to have a dollar and not I can chain money when they are selling cheese and wool when you look at the way they live they live really intense and they don't have absolutely anything from our world they are cooking an open fire they are catching the fish in the river or and they are also eating only for instance cheese they have sheeps and they eat the cheese they do and only like Natural Things They Live totally with the nature so for what dollar this old medical doctor asked me I don't know either so he couldn't give me a lot of information he just told me that this is a group of Aboriginal called per winche the most common Aboriginal in Argentina is this is a very much smaller group called The winch and this name is coming from a tree growing in this area so this was like my first meeting with the awolnikinal especially with the women the next day I were back by horse down in the valley and I went strictly to the tent where I have been with the elderly woman the day before and as soon she saw me she smiled and of course now I have pin and paper with me and the pin and people of course I want to draw what she was doing and this same day she also did on my face so I could feel I was feeling how deep she were working and everything so I spent like five days in this area every day I went to the Aboriginal to learn and I also realized that this elderly woman she was not the only one doing this therapy there were another elderly woman in another tent also doing and the thing I saw it was that it that was only on women's face I didn't saw at all any men I saw women and I saw small children and also young children and it was specific women and the young children that is elderly women were treating I also saw that they use like a kind of very white and like slimy stuff to treat the face will and I learned later that this was raw rosehip oil from the same area this area and the whole South Argentina it is full of a wild rosehip and when they become like ready for use in Argentina they are very very big and you can just press them with your hand and the first raw oil is like running out from the rosehip so this was what they were using for the therapy I learned they also uses for the body when I went home from The kopaway I had to go back by bus so I went back with bus another very special experience to travel in all bus down from the mountains uh very very I felt it very very dangerous but I had in my mind constantly this therapy I have learned from Aboriginal in this amazing area which is a mountain of the Andes in the south of Argentina and I was thinking I must try it I need to try all this I have learned and I I decided to ask the young girl with the brain damage if she had an injuries if I could try to do some experience with this new thing I have learned on her face I mean she were very poor I couldn't not judge any money from her treatment and I couldn't promise her that I could help her when I had such a client where I didn't charge money it was also some kind easier to ask if she were okay that I tried it out um as my first experience on her so when I came back to Bahia blangans he came for her next Consulting yes I asked her Susana I have been experienced something fantastic and I need to try it what do you think could we try it on your face and she agreed totally whatever she still had any chains in her situation with the food reflexology I have done until now she loved to come and we were both very sure that this is not a short project we had together this is a very long project so we just took it like easy but this day um the first day after I came home from this fantastic area um I worked on her face and I have been working about 10 minutes just doing exactly the same as I have learned from this awardicular woman I were beside for five days suddenly Susanna had a kind of reaction all her specificity like relaxed she became totally relaxed in all her members in the fingers in the hands in the arms in the legs in the feet it's totally flat on the treatment table and the first reaction it was really we got so scared me and her I was thinking wow my God the first time in your life you are doing something you shouldn't you don't know what you are doing this was my first thinking I got really so shocked I hadn't no I had no idea that I could experience such a situation never ever I didn't have it in my mind and also Susanna she became very like upset in and crying and what was happening this reaction lasted a minute then she became again and then we started like briefing like actually you can never be happy that a person has plasticity but in this moment it was like needed that she got back to what was normal for her in this moment to make us relax so when we overcame a little bit the first shock because of this reaction we talked about it and we talked about it very deep and very long time and we agreed that this must have been something positive so see and me together we decided let's give it a try so I began working with her with this new phase mortality and the food reflexology I have used for many years and um she started up having some positive reactions actually as he had less spasticity she became more flexible and this was actually very fast so of course I got very excited about it I began thinking about wow I also learned this in touch for health I also learned this in acupuncture I suddenly remembered wow I had not used for a long time the points from the Chinese doctor I have studied the brain I have studied the relationship with the different brain lobes and this point and these girls he had a frontal lobe damage so I decided slowly I will try to add more technique into this avodical work and see what happened slowly slowly and to get an idea how to combine it because I was sure it must be a benefit and yes actually in one year in 12 months I rehabilitated this girl 97 percent and in this process many people on the street they stopped her and they asked what are you doing you are so much better you you walk better you are more straight people were curious as it was a not very big town it's not a very big city people they know each other more unless of course not all 300 000 but it is what we calculate as a smaller City so many people know each other but Argentine people are also very talkative they they talk always so they have no problems to stop a person just because they have seen the person before asking questions so this was the way that I started up having Q in front of my door on the top of the hill only with Road of Earth and without telephone of many people many many disabled people because of course the one who asked maybe had a disabled in the family they wanted to help so this was the way I began as a very first in the world in the world of reflexology and also in the world of acupuncture to work very organized with disabled and it was children and it was adult and it was all kind of disabilities I have worked in this year with syndromes many different kinds rare syndromes in Europe normal syndromes in Argentina vaccination damage accidents adults children broken bags it was everything so it was not very practical to live on the top of this hill will wrote of earth when it was raining it was actually the only day I had off because then the cars couldn't come up to my house I had to move down to the city so I got my first Institute in Bahia Blanca one and a half year after I arrived to Argentina and also before I moved down I I had often visit of a a lady she came in a motor and she knocked my door and she said I want to learn what you are doing and I said no no way first of all you see how many clients I have I have queue from early morning to late night and I also I don't have my teaching material here but she insisted she came back and one day she said now I have eight people who want to learn and I kept on insisting my Spanish is not good enough whatever of course I I have learned Spanish when you really need it you learn it fast so this will actually after eight months only in Argentina I began teaching I found a person who could like redo my drawings and translate into into Spanish and I started teaching the first group of eight students so when I moved down to the city I already had groups of students and I have my first Institute in Bahia blanga and I had three assistants from my very first group the lady with the little red motor she became my assistant in this moment and see you still so she had been with me from the 89 until 2020 is he still teach for me in Argentina well but this was a story and Susana this young girl with the brain damage she became actually my first secretary so yes the life just kept on with so much work that you can't imagine we started offing at seven at in the morning my first assistant pilad were her name and me and we could work sometimes until 12 at night if she hear me she would say also too later don't forget Luna sometimes we were still working at one or two o'clock at night it was endless it was endless and of course I found out that reflexology was not known at all in South America not at all and it was not only in Argentina and all South America nobody have never heard this before so of course clients started coming from south from North from east from West and also students came in traveling from Buenos Aires and from other places in the country so because of that I also began teaching in Buenos Aires and in another city where I open Institute a model Plata well this was really active years and I were about one and a half year in this first place where I did my first Institute then I had to move to something much bigger so I got 1500 square meter four floors and we had 11 treatment rooms in the ground floor and in the other floors we had school administration and so on and in this time I also had for first time in my life as a therapist now working for 12 years and with so many clients I had for first time a client with a broken back and this man he had an accident and he had five fractures of his spine and one of the fractures was between the four and the fifth of the cervical the book said that he shouldn't be able to survive but he survived he were totally paralyzed he couldn't move anything of his body he couldn't turn his head to one side to another side or up and down totally impossible um but he could talk and he also had visual function his hearing was okay it was motor function totally paralyzed on both sides of the body and he had a son this son had isida so this was two person in the same family in wheelchairs and I worked with vote I did some fantastic experiences working with already before I started working with this family actually in this way around I came in touch with the family I'm telling about now and this man 38 years old with this accident in working um the family before they came to me they took him to Cuba because I have heard about a rehabilitation system in Cuba and now they told me that in Cuba they actually had had some results some developing and he had been there for about three months but when he came back to Bahia Blanca and he didn't have this Rehabilitation anymore it was like everything went back so I guess this is what I also thought about already in Denmark with the school children there's something sometimes missing to get the right results and to obtain result was lasting but whatever I got very interested in what he told me about Cuba so I decided to travel to Cuba to see could I learn more because it was really a huge moment for me to be there in now in an Institute where we had 250 treatment every week and the 60 of them were disabled so of course I got very excited to hear about this about Cuba so I decided to do a travel to Cuba and this was in 89 in the end of 89 I think maybe very close to 90. and um I just went there without a lot of information I thought um I had the address of the rehabilitation hospital where my client have been he have given me the address of it so I went directly there and tried to get into this Center it was difficult in this time there were a lot of political problems in Cuba but I managed to get in and I just said here am I I'm Dennis I'm living in Argentina I I I'm looking for any knowledge about how you are doing in your Rehabilitation method and then they let me in so I was there for one week eight days and it was amazing to see how they manage in Cuba this is all about manual work and the clients they have different kind of training every day long a physiotherapist body massage acupuncture because actually in Cuba they have used acupuncture since 64. so this was nothing new in Cuba with acupuncture the traditional Chinese acupuncture but also in between all these therapists I saw a man he was not very high he was a little man and he looks very Oriental and I saw him walking around between this debates and what he had in his hand like a map of the face and then he had very short small needles and she was looking at the map like he had a map for East Klein with different points pointed out and he did this small needling on the face and of course when I saw him throwing I thought wow what is that because it looks like thousand points on the face and I know perfectly that we only have 33 acupuncture points on the face at least the traditional acupuncture points 33 and here it looks like I I thought first time I saw it thousand points it was 564 points if I I found out later but whatever it's a lot of points on the face so of course I got very obsessive walking and behind this little man looking what he was doing and of course I also found out that he were from Vietnam and that he only could speak Vietnamese and and France so I couldn't I could only speak Spanish now Spanish Dane is an English so well a language difficulties like with the Aboriginal there's I had to only use my body language because they don't speak Spanish either they have their own language but this little Vietnamese doctor he got quite irritated on me and he tried to get rid of me but I insisted so much and finally before I left Cuba I had photocopies of the points of the face and he also had other very interesting drawings of different micro maps on the face um then I also got photocopy of so without really knowing what to do with all these points they were like listed in a list it said I I realized in this moment of my life that when you speak Spanish and read Spanish you also is able to read friends not to speak it but to read it and to understand it no land Latin language so I could understand the muscles and the structures the organs and glands which we'll mention in this list easily well what I did I took this with me to Bahia Blanca and in this institute the second one I had very big I had three medical doctors renting room in my Institute this was typically medical doctors working with homeopathic medicine with acupuncture and a doctor who was working with a cancer method a kind of alternative chemotherapy well these doctors I used very much to ask you see I asked him I learned so much from them we did not Google it at this time so when I had all this difficult and strains and very new still for me brain issues I need to ask them and they really helped me a lot to understand many things around the brain and my in my school I also had a medical doctor working he was teaching Anatomy for my food reflexology students so what I did actually I bought the Danish model of food reflexology to Argentina the TCM prefixality I said that because we have two different what can we say types of prefixology in Denmark we have the TCM which is a Chinese reflexology which I already mentioned is the one Island and we also have the Egyptian food reflexology combined later in the during the time with the meridians so well it's just a difference this medical doctor he was teaching anatomy in my school so I also had him to ask we became very close friends and we were sitting during nights together starting these points and trying to find out how this work and of course we found out read was obviously that it is not acupuncture this is a kind of points related to the nerve system so from the very beginning we decided to call this point for nerve points as they were related to the central nerve system it becomes became just a very natural things to call them newer points and I started out trying out some idea we had how to use them because of course I didn't learn from the Vietnamese doctor in Cuba how to use him I just got his Maps so at this moment I had a young girl she was about 18 years old and she have also been a part of a car accident and she was also totally totally um paralyzed and she could not swallow either and this was one of the first very huge warnings I had about her it was her swallowing dysfunction so I decided to try to figure out if I could make a combination of this point specific for her swallowing problems and yes I could it took me three weeks only to make her swallow so this was really you know the first experience to have this kind you never forget it in your life after that I did thousands and thousands and thousands combination and different succeed with these points of course but I started using these points as a kind of addictional to the facial reflexology I did formed like a basic treatment during this year so uh also the micromaps I got from this Vietnamese doctor and also like included and started a combining with the Aboriginal technique with techniques from um the acupuncture the specific points which I found out this medical doctor from China Dr bong he called um specific bring points from the traditional acupuncture some of them is from the traditional acupuncture and some of those points I learned it is for more advanced but it was such kind of brain related points that I found out later that they also have of course a directed connection with the rest of the body but this was what I did I combined this point with the method I learned from the avunikanal and then I also started up using these micro maps from Cuba which was actually from Vietnam which I didn't know yet um and also I started off having like addictional for instance some additional from the thoughts for health that I only used when there were like brain issues and in the very beginning I also use this nerve points only for brain issues but the next year I did both I went back to ourboriginal to learn more and when I came back to Aboriginal to learn more they were very happy to see me and I had my life's experienced who lives in tint with some of those women and now I could certainly see the dairy work inside such a tribe they were always about every time I came I have been there three times 11 12 10s and it was a really really big experience to be a part of it and learn how they live in such an amazing simple way yes also um that actually men were never treated only if they had a specific problem if they felt off the horse during the day because men they left this tribe very early in the morning with ships and then they came back with all the ships by night late and the women they were cooking and washing and making fish actually I never saw them eating meat only fish from the league and milk and cheese from the sheeps and I also found out which I could tell the old doctor that actually they wanted dollar because they need to buy horses and horses you can only buy with dollar of course things I didn't know before I experienced that living with the Aboriginal I saw also how they used rosehip in the diet like a drink like a soup like something sweet with honey and I also saw how they were coloring their wool they wear a very colorful clothes so while it was a live experience and um actually I didn't learn so much more about the therapy that I already learned the first time I was there but it was the experience to get treatment from them also to apply treatment on them and these elderly women they told me wow it's really where it well done what you are doing but I was still curious it was like I had some question because I figured out myself by experience that this area was like related to certain parts of the body and another area was related to other certain parts of the body and so on I had an idea but I also had like a need oh and City to to ask them if I'm I was right well I couldn't with wood ask about things so whatever it was a great great great experience but I was still like a little bit disappointed I missed something more well the same year I also went back to Cuba I was very very sure that I need to go back to Cuba I need to find out more about this no point in the system I have learned the year before so now I went to Havana and with me I had a little paper where a person I know she wrote a name of a akinson doctor in the biggest main hospital in Havana this hospital called the tin of October and it was really easy to find this doctor in the hospital Dr Cavallo and um a very very fantastic person I learned and actually the man the medical doctor who took acupuncture to Cuba in 64. and he could tell me a lot about the the history about acupuncture in the Cuban Hospital culture and he also told me a lot of other things very interesting I I asked him how can it be that in Cuba they accept acupuncture well he also showed me that they actually used Pax flower medicine for children in this Hospital not only in this Hospital in all hospitals in whole Cuba yes I learned that of course it is different because it's communism and then the handwork is not expensive um it's easy to have a lot of people working in the healthcare because they have so low salary it's very different from Europe where the salary is very expensive and this is what makes it difficult to have many people working in the rehabilitation so it was actually quite easy to understand when you get some history about it but of course my aim was to ask about the points I have learned in the Santiago of Cuba the year before and actually he note everything about these points Dr Cavallo he could tell me everything I needed to know I wanted to know about this new points and he told me that this is a method from Vietnam actually a very old method three more than three thousand years old and in the 70s a doctor was named Dr Chao he began having an interest in these points and there were actually 64 points when he began studying the relationship which was a like a fault medicine in Vietnam for all these years he became very curious how how this works because many people it was a common a common thing in Vietnam that many people used in the daily um live for different systems um for the different symptoms for headache or for menstrual pain or for everything so In This Moment Dr Chao he worked with young dropped people and he worked like in a Institute for this kind of young people with problems of these kinds and he began his first journey to try out the points and find out about more about the points in this year's and he became more and more interested he found out the function of the 64 points and he also developed many new points and he after that he worked in a military hospital where he also used and got a lot of experience with his combination of these points called Dean Chan and um in the 80s from the beginning of the 80 to 85 he got a government paid investigation with a staff of medical doctors around him to help him to determinate and to study these points much more profoundly so it ended up with 564 points at this moment then Dr chauhi were invited to Russia and he worked in Russia also with the system treating clients and also teaching for Russian doctors this method and also he were invited to Cuba and he came to Cuba with a group of his staff who have started with him and one of these doctors from his team was the one I actually met in the end of 89 in the hospital or in the rehabilitation center where I went in Cuba first time so Dr Cavallo he told me all this and he also offered me to teach the duties to me the use of the points and of course I said yes and my first reaction were that I got very very disappointed because it was a lot of combination of um points for symptoms for headache for menstrual pain for pain in the knee for romantic pain skin really form all like symptoms and actually I have worked very hard in several years to understand and together um structure in my own therapy where I wanted to treat the reason of her illness it means if I have a client not only to apply some points for the headache for the migraine but taking a look into the body's Anatomy to know why a person get headache and treat this why so this was my strong interest in the same time I builted up the facial reflex therapy to really understand that we must treat the reason of why the symptoms so I said to to Dr Cavallo actually I have tried the last year with my handicapped clients in Argentina to apply this therapy different and he said oh yes this is also something Dr chauhi do he call it cyber therapy so he told me that Dr Chao in his time in in Cuba which were about a half a year that he had like taking a look into the most common illnesses in Cuba for instance xerosis Multiplex and also packinson's and there were 14 different illnesses in total and what he have done it was a intensive investigation about how to treat the background the reason of this kind of illnesses but only 14 so well I talked to the doctor Cavallo about my way to organize and to to treat my clients with with the way I found to use the points by myself and he said I like very much I think you should just go on with this idea so in the beginning I didn't paid a lot of it attention to what I learned for symptoms he gave me a little book I still have it as a Bible I don't use it very much anymore because of course now it is a 30 31 years ago or what I'm talking about now I know it's perfectly perfectly by memory the day today but it was a great moment to to learn from Dr Cavallo which have been a student of Dr Chao himself so I got a lot of benefits of this travel new knowledge I was very excited about it and in this travel I also in the same Hospital in Cuba I made the possibility to study with a Japanese doctor and he were teaching and we thought he called Rio Dean and riotin Method it is about um the the way to analyze where in the human body there are some blocks in the central nerve system so this was very interesting and as I have been working now actually for about one and a half here with a facial method from the Aboriginal I have noticed very clear that when I were working I felt some block on the areas of the face like um like it was Tinder or swollen in the tissue underneath the skin and I have been wondering what is this kind of Science and I actually learned about this from the Japanese doctor in Cuba so it was like a whole new world opening for me and when I have been working with all this about um two years I also did some courses in the university in Buenos Aires because I really felt that I need more knowledge about the brain uh to treat disabled to understand the whole question about brain structures and the brain function I couldn't I couldn't this without starting very profoundly so this is what I did I realized that in Denmark when I did the food reflexology course and the acupuncture course well actually we didn't had Anatomy included in the education at this moment it came a lot later into the question but I did in the folk University in Copenhagen I did a study of anatomy but we didn't learn really anything about the brain so yes I also studied the brain in Buenos Aires I did classes of neurological questions many to understand profoundly everything and I also did a lot of study with a medical doctor who was working in my school as a Anatomy teacher so yes I learned a lot a lot about the brain in these years now with this new knowledge and I also I did form what we can call the basic work of the facial reflexology it was like there no so I started off now like collecting a dictional method so the treatment we're now in this moment two years later it was about seven basic steps where I did combined the coins from the Chinese Dr Wong acupuncture points even I learned some more so the 16 points transformed into 21 and then the avodical work where I understood that I'm treating entirely the full body with this method and now also I had a new tool I could analyze the different areas of the face in a way where I could find out where each body have like blocks making it blocks in this internal nerve system making it impossible to get result without moving removing this blocks first and then I also did add it into my basic some of the maps from the Vietnamese doctor Dr Charles method in a different way than Dr Chao worked himself still I do in like we can say my own way because the reason as I explained I am not treating the symptoms I'm treating the reason of the symptoms that is why I can use the same Maps but in a different way than Dr Chao himself and also yes this is what I did and now I suddenly had the new points this 564 points I could combine very individual for my clients and this was also the moment where I began using the points for other things than brain issues also for cancer patients for um Parkinson's pieces of what whatever migraine patient or whatever any patient I begin using this new points I did another addictional for my treatment which is based in acupuncture and in touch for health where we work with the scalp for the different brain lobes I also included but as a dictionary it was not basic so it was the basic steps coming from our nickel from the Dr Wong Chinese acupuncture and from the Vietnamese medicine it was like the basic I did on all all clients and here it was I learned to analyze my clients situation and depending of my client situation and the symptom the actual symptom they had I used this addictional more addictionals came till during the time I heard about a Japanese doctor Dr shamamoto and I started up learning things from his method also to combine especially in the beginning also for brain damage because Dr shamamoto is a Japanese doctor which is very well known in the field of Rehabilitation especially he have worked more than 40 years very much in Germany and a other medical doctor have learned from him about Hondas around the world mostly in United States some few in Poland also so I had this big possibility to also learn methods from Dr samamoto and also from another amazing Argentine doctor casticio Morales also working with a method for disabled when he were a young doctor um just educated in the University he went to the north of the mountains and learned from Aboriginal different method that he also developed into a method working on the party and on the face with disabled children and I got very inspired by his method also to develop a method working in the same technical way if you can say it in this way a manual way as Dr festicio Morales I learned from him during many years and what I did I also when I went into the university in Buenos Aires I found out that they have some lectures about medicine but not the actual medicine actually the old medicine for instance what I found there it was lectures about the Tibetan medicine and I was very curious so I went there for some lectures and when I learned about the Tibetan school of medicine I decided wow this I want to use in my school in my teaching and in my treatments protocols because this is what I have been looking after the perfect way to treat the reason behind a illness instead of Justice symptoms because they're so so clear that if I work with the symptoms um I can make symptoms calming down or disappear for a while but as I do not do anything to my client getting rid of the reason inside the body where's the dysfunction causing the symptoms I will never have stabilized results so in the Tibetan school of medicine I really found the answer of many I can sit like traits I need to coordinate to understand everything very much better so I changed my whole school also for the food reflexology into the Tibetan theory of medicine which is very different from the Chinese foreign [Music]
