Letter of RecommendationThis is a letter of recommendation for Clinical Acupressure written to Cathy Miller, President of Soul Lightening International, by Dr. John Reed, former medical director for the inpatient Integrative Care Service at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

To Whom it May Concern,

Our team members at the University of Maryland Medical Center have been providing service to pa-tients in the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and throughout the main hospital in the medical, surgical, obstetric and pediatric services for a num-ber of years. When I was brought on as medical director in 2013 I was very pleased to find that the nursing members of our team had been trained in Clinical Acupressure by your organization.

This treatment method, using combinations of points derived from the classical Chinese medi-cine point patterns known as the “Extraordinary Vessels”, provides a practical way to achieve whole body relaxation and a balancing of physiologic stress patterns in the autonomic nervous system and by extension in the internal organs.

In our current inpatient practice at the University of Maryland Medical Center, I regularly request that the nurses on our Integrative Care Team offer Clinical Acupressure to patients who have severe orthopedic or neurologic trauma, challenging soft tissue injuries, organ transplants, and difficult courses of chemotherapy. The nurturing touch and the physiologic reintegration of this treatment approach helps patients overcome the emotional and physical shock of prolonged hospitalization.

In addition to recommending your graduates for providing clinical care in institutional integrative care programs, I would advise that your graduate training be considered as a standard of proficiency for the treating providers involved in any research study of the effectiveness of Clinical Acupressure for selected conditions.

Sincerely yours,

John C. Reed, MD, MDivDirector of Inpatient ServicesCenter for Integrative Medicine

“On surveys from insurance companies there is a question like “do you feel staff did everything possible to ease your discomfort?” Our hospital has seen a direct correlation

with the rise in that satisfaction score and the use of integrative medicine.” ---T.K., Baltimore, MD
