Chreso Clinic

After all these weeks I made it to Chreso clinic, an HIV/AIDS clinic in Lusaka. I met with all the doctors and the program director and one of the founders in the morning. Robb, Kevin's dad introduced me, and because he's a doctor (and not just any doctor, he's been working with HIV since the 80s and is very respected and published) they listened to him! They gave me my own room to see patients in and they would send referral patients in before they'd give them their prescriptions. It was awesome!! If only I could do this in the States! My first client had lower leg pain, and after the Access techniques and Fast Aid I said, "How is the leg pain?" he froze and looked at me shocked, "It's gone" he said surprised. My next patient had pain in the upper legs and a headache. After 4 of the techniques his headache was gone, and the leg pain was greatly diminished when I was done. He was a bit older. I worked on 15-20 people for 20 minutes or so. I also worked on one of the doctors and we did some BodyTalk as well as Access. It was a really fascinating day. Stressed out staff said they didn't feel stressed anymore, a patient laughed when they realized their throat pain (also coughing up blood) was gone, breathe cycles opened up, and people shared little bits about their lives that were so touching; no friends for 10 years, pregnant outside of marriage, worried about decisions. Fun to see so many patients, and fun to get nothing but good, if not miraculous feedback. Can't think of a better way to spend the day than taking away pain, relieving stress and making life better. Back at Kevin and Robb's home now. Making rolls for tomorrow. Thanksgiving in Africa. Who would have thought? Working at Chreso again in the morning. Fun to know that every brain I balance makes a different in Africa. Now I can go home and feel complete satisfaction.
