Need for more medicine

Dear friends,

I asked a friend to type this and send it out after what I said on the phone, since email is two hours away, and I can hardly keep up with the flow of sick people. Just by word of mouth, we are seeing about 60 people a day. Everyone is very sick from sleeping outside, with coughs, earaches, fevers. Lot's of skin rashes from scratched open mosquiote bites. Lot's of stress symptoms, like headaches and stomach aches. The remedies work wonders, but we are almost out. When people hear we are coming, they get in line, a huge line, and people are so traumatized, they cannot even make eye contact, The children just sit and stare to the gound, they no longer laugh and play. First thing, we give everyone a shock treatment with flower essences. That makes the children laugh and play again. They hug us so tightly and say they never want to let us go. The adults can suddenly look us in the eyes. We have had only enough for one application per person, and we have used a lot of our savings for some people how are so sick they have to go see a doctor but have no money to pay for it. I wil try very hard to send some pictures. There is malaria and thyphoid. People can no longer sleep, they are too traumatized. It seems to be like an ocean of forlorn, suffering people. They are so happy to see us, and just that someone has come to help is already part of the treatment making them feel better. I am working all day long trying to see all the people who line up. We have had to have helpers to welcome people and make them sit down and get in line to avoid choas. The most heartbreaking cases are those of people who saw all of their loved ones die before their eyes.

We need more of everything. Please do what you can, and coordinate with Kyle Fischer in NYC (see contact info in PS). If you can get your local health food store to donate some... we want to ship some more very fast, and maybe someone will take a suitcase over. We need:

homeopathic Arnica, Belladonna, Aconite, Drosea, Eupatorium, Ruta, Hypericum, Euphrasia, Pulsatilla, Chamomile, Staphysagria, Phosphorus, Arsenicum, Lycopodium, Thuja, Medorrhinum

flower essences: rescue remedy, Red, White and Sweet Chestnut, Mimulus, Bleeding Heart, Fireweed

essential oils of lavender and tea tree

calendula flowers, seeds, tincture, same for Wormwood, Boneset


Love from Jinpa


Note from Jigme/Elly: Thomas Kyle Fischer in New York is organizing a shipment of medicines to go to Jinpa in Haiti on Friday. You can contact him at tkylefischer (at) gmail.com, and he also has a paypal account for Jinpa attached to that email address. The best way to get help to Jinpa right now is to send it through Kyle, and he will organize more shipments as money comes in. He mentioned to me that if there is anyone in New York with sleeping bags, he would really like to send some more for the people who are sleeping outside in Haiti.

First Hello from Haiti

Dear friends,

I arrived safely in Haiti after a delayed travel. Since it was already late, the only thing I could still do is to attend to my father, whom I found depressed and with diarrhea for the past five days. But when the well-indicated homeopathic remedy failed to shift my father's life force, I thought he should probably rather treat him for shock. I gave him rescue drops and FES post trauma stabilizer. This pepped him up, and when we both were awake around 4 am from our shallow sleep in the make shift tent, my father poured out the whole story of the trauma of the earthquake for over an hour. He told me how when my brother and his family fled from Haiti after the earthquake leaving him behind, he gave up on his life, resigning to death and misery. I gave him more of the flower essences, and by breakfast time, he started to crack jokes, bossing everyone around, and behaving like his old self. I also gave him homeopathic Arnica for his back injury, and he felt much better in his body. By the evening, he said all of his life force was back, and the cramps in his muscles that he had had since the quake were gone.

On the first day, I treated the housekeepers and everyone else who was around. I found that no matter what the symptom (headaches, heart palpitations), this would get better if I just treated them for shock: giving them rescue remedy and post trauma stabilizer. We then went to the neighborhood were I was as a child. When we arrived at the house, the four children greeted us with downcast eyes, being very somber and not like children. Especially one of the girls we found out had seen her older sister die when the debris crushed her, and witnessed her other sister have her legs broken. I treated them in the same way – rescue in the mouth, and mist with post trauma stabilizer – and by the time we had had lunch, they were running around in the garden shrieking and playing again like children should do. I also give out some of the essential oils for coughs and colds, but have not yet had a chance to get organized with oil bottles to had out.

I heard that there is a school nearby, and one of the problems is that the children don't play any more. I want to go there within the next day to treat the children for shock.

So far, the mud is not too bad where my father lives, and it is OK to be in the tent. Just I think I will run out of flower essences within a few days.

Once I can find a computer, I will send photos.

Please pray – I will meet some high general in a few days who can bypass all the Haitian administration to renew my father's passport, so he can be allowed to leave with me.

Please do not email me in response to this. I cannot process emails until after I am back. Thank you for your understanding!

More soon!

Love from Jinpa
