In Digos, alternative medicine practitioners honor Flavier

Posted on by

DIGOS CITYAt least 100 alternative medicine practitioners and supporters converged here Saturday to honor former Senator and Health Secretary Juan Flavier, considered the father of traditional and alternative medicine.

Wearing stickers on their sleeves, where Flaviers photo was printed alongside words of appreciation for his contribution to alternative medicine, the group paused in silence.

It was Flavier who authored the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act of 1997, which gave herbal and alternative medicine practice in the country a legal face.

Edgar Delibo, chair and chief executive officer of the Dok Alternatibo Research and Development Foundation Inc. (Dardfi) based here, said the group cant thank Flavier enough for his help in advancing the practice of alternative medicine and healing.

Flavier, Delibo said, paved the way for the realization, reawakening, reprogramming and eventual practice of traditional and alternative health care in this country.

Delibo said Flavier helped develop a revolutionary consciousness among Filipinos about health.

Delibo told Inquirer that the gathering of alternative medicine practitioners may not be sufficient to thank Flavier and bring honor to the greatness of a simple man.

During the event, Dardfi and the Manila-based Philippine Institute of Naturopathic Sciences signed an agreement that would allow Dardfi to offer government-accredited courses on traditional medicine and natural health care.

Under the law authored by Flavier, the practice of traditional health care and alternative medicine is encouraged and scientific research is promoted. Eldie Aguirre, Inquirer Mindanao

One medical schools ultimate test carries all the chaos of the battlefield

Posted on by

Running away from the sound of gunfire and IED blasts toward a shelter door, 2nd Lt. Rowan Sheldon of the U.S. Army suddenly stopped dead and gasped out an expletive: It wasnt an escape, it was a solid wall.

Behind him, all the medics and others in his platoon were carrying badly wounded soldiers, looking to him to lead them to a safe spot where they could triage, put on tourniquets, get patients on litters and move them away from the battlefield for treatment.

There are tough final exams. There are grueling final exams. And then there is the test at the nations medical school for the military, in which students must navigate a simulated overseas deployment culminating in a staged mass-casualty incident with deafening explosions, screaming, smoke, gunfire and fake blood everywhere.

In the intense stress of that moment, sweating fourth-years have to pull up the lessons learned in class to bring order to chaos. Enough order, at least, to get people somewhere safe enough to start healing.

Its the most important week of medical school, said Arthur Kellermann, dean of the F. Edward Hbert School of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Its the week when students camped at a National Guard base take on every challenge instructors can think to throw at them. Suicide bombers. Unraveling diplomatic relations. An influx of refugees. A sexual assault. And hundreds of wounded soldiers.

We had a great plan going in, Sheldon said. But they say no plan passes first contact with the enemy, right? We quickly realized there was no way this plan was going to work.

Learning medicine, combat

The countrys only medical school for the military began in an unlikely spot: on the third floor of a corner lot in Bethesda, above a drugstore and a bank.

That was in 1972, not long after President Richard M. Nixon called for an end to the draft. Now the school sits on the grounds of Naval Support Activity Bethesda, next to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, across from the National Institutes of Health.

The school serves 1,200 students, including 700 medical students among nursing candidates and those studying public health and other disciplines. Medical students pay no tuition in exchange for a commitment to serve across the armed forces; some are already active-duty members of the military while others have no military experience. They receive a commission when they enroll.

Liberty too much for Whitmer

Published: Sunday, 11/9/2014 - Updated: 17 seconds ago

BY SCOTT GERFEN SPECIAL TO THE BLADE

POWELL, Ohio Momentum can create all kinds of trouble on the football field.

Whitmer watched its season fade away in third quarter as Powell Olentangy Liberty scored 28 unanswered points to win a Division I regional first-round game 49-21.

That was the worst weve ever played in the third quarter, said Whitmer coach Jerry Bell, whose team closed the season at 7-4. All of a sudden it just got out of control on us.

Liberty quarterback Alex Lando threw two of his five touchdown passes in the third quarter, while his counterpart Chase Bodeman sat on the sideline injured. He eventually returned late in the third quarter.

During his absence, the Panthers went three-and-out twice.

Libertys defense provided some big hits and even knocked backup Shue Sanders out of the game.

Sanders was hit and lost the ball at the Whitmer 19. Two plays later, Lando dumped a screen pass to Brendon White, who scored from 13 yards, his third touchdown catch of the night, to make it 42-14 with 1:51 left in the third quarter.

Our defense just did a great job of being physical and hitting [Bodeman], especially in the second half, said Liberty coach Steve Hale, whose team improved to 9-2 and earned its first postseason victory since 2005.
