So What is FAFAA and Does it Work…?

Thanks so much I just had problems breathing and I didn't have an inhaler and this really helped me.

Dear Ms. Bat-Imedt, Three years ago I was introduced to reflexology as a way of reducing the severity of asthma symptoms. I was both shocked and surprised that by massaging certain areas on the bottom of the foot, we could loosen the mucus in the bronchioles. The key to the process was to drink 8 glasses of water per day and cut dairy products from your diet. By introducing this process in our school, we have been able to decrease the number of times a child has to go to the emergency room at least during school day. Since the introduction of the program, it has been much less of a hassle to convince a child to drink water. Sincerely,

Dear Nurse Yocheved, Before Nurse Yocheved started giving me an asthma treatment, I had a lot of asthma. Now, I only have a little bit of asthma. Nurse Yocheved gave me an asthma treatment having to do with water. Now I have really notice the difference. Nurse Yocheved told me not to eat dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream etc.) She told me to drink 2 cups of water every 3 hours, not hot or cold, room temperature water. First I couldn't run. Now I can run without getting asthma.

I am writing this letter so I can tell you the way I feel. Before I would always get asthma usually. But the first time I went to your office, that you gave me reflexology, and that you told me to drink room temperature, and to eat raw onions. I got better and now I feel like If I don't have asthma.

While working at PS 152, Ms. Yocheved shared with me a reference chart to use when working with asthma students. I often refer to this chart and the methods outlined for controlling the on-set or severity of asthma attacks. The children have been very receptive to these methods and the tension level has been lowered for both staff and students who are involved with asthma afflicted students. Thanks for your assistance. Sincerely,

To Nurse Yocheved Bat-Imedt, RN: In reference to the Hands on Healing remedy for asthma, I tried it on of my students, Yolacy. She is on the Proventil inhaler 2 puffs. She is breathing very shallow. I had her sit down then gave her 2 glasses of water. I then placed my hands very lightly on her chest and back as you taught us. Then I did the reflexology with my knuckles as my fingernails were long. After that treatment, I gave her another glass of water. In 30 minutes she was OK and went back to her class. This was about 10:00AM. She remained in school for the balance of the day.

Dear Ms. Bat-Imedt, I am writing to thank you and express my satisfaction in the Bat-Imedt Asthma Control Protocol. I have used it on some of my asthmatic students with remarkable success. Some kids went home and told their parents about their experience with the protocol. A mother even came to the school and requested me to try it on her, being an asthmatic herself. She was pleased with the experience. In view of the above, I have enclosed the sum of $5- for a copy of the Asthma Control Chart. Once again, thank you. Sincerely,

Dear Yocheved: I just want to say thank you about that warm water therapy on our in-service for those who have an asthma attack, because I tried it once and it works. Two days ago one student came to me accompanied by a friend with a complaint of difficulty breathing due to an asthma attack and wants me to call home to have her picked up. After contacting the grandmother while we were waiting, I decided to conduct a little experiment by giving her warm water to drink about four glasses while resting before sending her to the office to be picked up. At this time she claims to be a little better now. After about 30 minutes on my way back to the office to make a copy of my forms, somebody running almost knocked me down and that was her yelling at me that she sent her grandmother back home because she is alright now. Amen,

Nurse Yocheved Bat-Imedt has dramatically changed our students' lives since she has joined our staff. Daily children were in asthmatic distress relying solely on medication inhalers and nebulizers. She taught our children how to relax and be in control of their asthma. The Yocheved Bat-Imedt protocol has made our children more independent, more active and much happier. Every doctor, nurse, parent and health care must heed her important message. Her method can truly save lives. The ever increasing rate of asthma must be reduced and can be by using this common sense protocol. I sincerely thank Nurse Bat-Imedt for her diligence and enthusiasm and especially for all those wonderful smiles our children now have.
