Sure, following the direction of Pat Culliton director of HFA Alternative

Medicine Clinic we had a fundamental NADA five needle protocol. Additionally

there was freedom to choose additional points based on the needs of the

patients. We had a waiting list to participate. Individually inmates had

reduction in a wide varity of sumptoms, both physical and emotional. Also

some inmates requested support for weight training.

An unsupportive administrator in the prison chose to reallocate resources

away from acupuncture.
