Summary of Mexican Training

Let me tell a beautiful, true story, the first of a long list to come. Seven practitioners have undergone training in Mexico!

Panchito's father, Francisco, discovered my Web site and wrote me, asking what could be done to heal his son. He thought I would not reply. But I answered immediately, even though I wondered how I could treat his son with 10 000 km between us. Needless to say, neither of us had enough money to finance the treatment!

We felt  we just had to find a solution, and so took the first step. We felt that somehow help would arrive to enable us to undertake the second step. To this end, I suggested that he try to find two practitioners willing to be trained according to my techniques, along with twenty people either stricken with asthma themselves or having asthmatic children.

I felt that this number of people would be able to share the expenses of my trip and lodging for a week. I explained that the total price was not based upon the number of practitioners or patients. Francisco answered at once he was ready to try. Sometime later, he told me he had found the two practitioners and twenty people, and had succeeded in collecting part of the money needed. This amount was not yet enough but I had already decided to go. Nothing could prevent me from doing so.

Chance does not exist ; if it does, it arranges things as they should be !

One of my patients, who had earlier come for treatment from the Canary Islands, noticed on my site that I was looking for sponsors. He asked about my needs. I explained that I needed to train practitioners in countries where the standard of living is too low for people to afford my techniques. Many of these people are already in debt because of the high cost of medicine and hospitalization. I want to mobilize people so that they make the first effort to achieve their goals. Most government organizations bring people fish to eat one day, but I want to provide the net and teach them to fish, so they will have food every day! If people make an initial financial effort in line with their ability, I will find money from donations for the remainder of the project. He asked how much I needed to achieve this particular goal. I said 1,000 $USD, and he said, "All right, I'll send this amount as soon as I'm back home."

I arranged to be there from October 11^th to 19^th, and on the 11th, set out for Mexico.

My adventure began. Mexico City is impressive, a megalopolis of 20 million people and a very busy airport with planes coming from everywhere, frequently. Finding my way out was a struggle, as was going through Immigration and Customs. As I went to find my luggage, I spotted a large yellow board saying "Jacques, welcome to Mexico", held high by a strong man with a big smile on his face.

Finally, I walked through the maze of posts and markers pointing out the way. Lucia came up, kissed me, and led me toward two smiling men. I was suddenly caught in vigorous and warm abrazos. We drove for an hour and a half to reach the small village of Huixquilucan, situated at 2 800 m above sea level. They gave me lodging in a very nice, large room whose furniture had been lent by a local maker. I ate dinner, relaxed, then slept soundly after my 18-hour trip. Such joy ! At last !
I had 7 practitioners to train !

That afternoon and the following day, practitioners were trained on patients with severe breathing pathologies.
