Dear Ones at Lourdes' Hospital Volunteer
Services Department,
Having been a
patient at both UHS and Lourdes, I, very much appreciate your staff and atmosphere. I'm aware
that most every individual, paid, staff member has to endure major and/or minor
aches and pains on a daily basis, in the process of trying to make a living
wage. These may have a tendency to inhibit one's efficiency and
congeniality within any workforce.
I am a
Christian. My life's motto is found in the New Testament book of Colossians,
chapter 3 and verse 23, "And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and
not unto men." I really and truly enjoy helping others. And because of Lourdes'
foundation of faith in the one and only true God, I freely extend my services to assist
the well being of all your staff and management with thirty or more hours per month.
I've acquired
two valuable health skills - reflexology and neuro-muscular therapy - through both
instruction and practice since September of 1990 and as a business, since July of 1993. I
am a certified reflexologist from the International Institute of Reflexology of St. Petersburg, Florida. I received my
neuro-muscular therapy training from E. Jerome Cook, RMT, of Dallas, Texas. I had both liability
and malpractice insurance of $2M per occurence and $3M aggregate with the International
Reflexology Association of Warrenton, Va., who would co-insure any and all with/for
whom my sevices are involved. They proved to be UNTRUTHFUL, as their web
site contained much different information than their snail mail literature.
My original web site was http://health2u.homestead.com
and a duplicate site is more appropriate as my own personal domain: http://reflexology4me.com where one may add,
"/files/testimonials.htm" or "/files" to click on whatever else
may be of interest.
During my most
recent admission in your fine hospital, March 17th at about 6PM until 6:30PM on the 18th,
2004, for observation, I let it be known that I am a reflexologist. So, in just 24 hours,
13 nurses asked for and were relieved of various aches and pains, including a headache in
just two minutes.
DO NOT GET ON
THEIR CASE FOR ASKING. IT WAS NO BIG DEAL!! I HAD NO PAIN, WHATSOEVER, WHILE HELPING THEM.
AND, BESIDES, THEY WERE MUCH MORE RELIEVED AND EFFICIENT IN THEIR DAILY TASKS OF HELPING
THE INFIRMED. I'M CONTINUALLY ASKING IF ANYONE HAS ANY ACHES OR PAINS IN ALL KINDS OF
PLACES AND SITUATIONS.
The same
happened at the offices of Tier Orthopedic Associates on June 10th. I was there an
extra 1.5 hours, working on six nurses and assistants at no charge and showed a nurse how
to relieve another associate 's headache, after which I was removing
various other aches and pains.
It shouldn't be
too long before reflexology will be an approved health modality and be covered by
insurance companies. I'm more than willing to offer my skills to help a hospital that
really cares for the health and well being of its staff as well as its patients. And
remember: reflexology does not heal the body; reflexology helps the body heal itself. Most
every problematic part of one's body is identified by reflexology on one's hands
or feet. Neuro-muscular therapy, applied to that specific bodily area, will either
eliminate or greatly reduce the healing time. Please allow me to assist your care for all
your fine staff, from your custodians to your CEO. It shouldn't be too difficult to
create such a position. Just try it for a week and collect personal assesments of its
efficacy, by all of the unbiased recipients. Thank you for listening.
Respectfully
yours,
Donald W. Yates

Don has the approval of Lourdes'
Hospital, at 169 Riverside Drive, in Binghamton, NY, to provide free Reflexology and
Vitatherapy treatments to as many of the entire staff that desire the sensation of
more room in one's shoes or that of walking on clouds, and
from custodians to the CEO, effective November 10, 2004. He
will be providing hand or foot treatments on various floors, in blocks of hours, as
determined by Susan Bock, Director of Volunteer Services. He just purchased a Lafuma
recliner, made in France, because of its comfort and portability, for these occasions.
Please pray for him, that God will give him the needed wisdom and foresight to treat
all, well. The Volunteer Staff requirement is ten hours per month, but Don plans to
provide much more, as time permits, Lord willing.
