Dear Elizabeth or anyone else with suggestions,
I live in Tokyo but do not know any other homeopaths. I have not
contacted JPHMA because my experience with Japanese is they are really
very closed. Teachers only want to associate with their own students.
Torako Ishi seems to be a teacher as well as an organizer so I am not
sure what her limitations are.
There are thousands of refugees in a stadium near me and I have
thought of just setting up a chair and a little sign, but that is also
hard to think about. Being organized as the Japanese are, they want
control over every situation. I would like to help in a more concrete
way than sending money. Maybe you have an idea or would know who to
contact. I looked on the JPMA site and there was no obvious way to
contact anyone. I am fluent in Japanese and am seeing Japanese
patients. I am sure I could help with the emergency situation as a
homeopath, but I have to belong to some group, I think.
I am leaving for Malaysia today for Ardavan's seminar and will return
on March 29th. If you have any ideas or contacts, please let me know.
Blessings,
Ellen

Re: how to help in Japan
talk with your Japanese patients and ask them for how to help. let these people
be your marketing and your entre into the situation.
another thought is that even tho the culture is very formalized, this is an emergency.
i cannot help but think that the JPHMA can be opened up to others coming in to
help an organized effort. you need to be a bit assertive without overstepping their
boundaries.

Re: how to help in Japan
Torako is the chairperson of JPHMA and passed this along to us at WHAO (World Homeopathy Awareness Organization), she is our rep for Japan. Akemi has also been in contact. They are working with the Japanese Homeopathic Foundation (JPHF). I trust they are doing valuable work which needs doing.
Their email is office@jphma.org. Phone: 03-5779-7411.
Here are two messages sent from Torako and we expect another update soon which I'll post.
It would be great for more to work together

**3-15-11 Message
Dear all my colleagues in the world,
Thank you very much for sending so many messages to concern about me, JPHMA members, nations in Japan over this three days since the biggest earthquake and Tsunami attacked Japan on Friday 11 March.
I have carried my message to everyone on JPHMA website. ( http://www.jphma.org/gienkatsudo/201103 ... gi_en.html )
I would like to use this opportunity to thank you all for your warm support.
Now, conventional medicine teams are working on emergency treatment in order to rescue people, who are at risk of their lives. We, homoeopaths are working on treating mental care of victims and sufferers to avoid post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
I have sent a letter to Ministry of Health and Welfare today as attached and am preparing to send volunteer people to affected area with free homoeopathic remedies. I would like to go there as soon as when traffic and transport has been recovered.
I have set up donation account for victims and sufferers. ( http://jphf.or.jp/support/20110315_bokin_en.html )
I have carried the below message to victims and suffers on JPHMA website at the moment.
The 9.0 magnitude (provisional value) tremor struck at around 14:46 local time on Friday 11 March 2011, off Sanriku coast of Honshu island at a depth of about 24km, 400km (250 miles) north-east of Tokyo. The 7.4 magnitude was measured in north part of Miyagi prefecture at 15:15 on the same day. In south part of Ibaragi was hit magnitude around 6.0.
At the moment approx. 15,000 people are missing. The death toll has been counted 1,800 today, but is expecting so many numbers.
There was higher than 10 meters Tsunami and many coastal towns were wiped away.
Such extensive area was affected and there is still afterquake in many places in Japan.
I would like to express my hearty sympathy with people, who have been involved with this terrible disaster.
Many devastations of natural disaster have been confirmed now, and it is being concerned problems from nuclear power plants in Fukushima at the moment.
Please bring homoeopathy home kit wherever you go.
Whatever happened, we, who are involved with homoeopathy, shall keep strength and courage and offer a helping hand to those, who need support.
JPHMA is offering the below 2 homoeopathic remedies with free of charge to people who are victims of this disaster and people who feel anxiety and fear thanks to supports from Homoeopathy Japan Co. The picking up place is College of Holistic Homoeopathy (CHhom) all over Japan.
1. AAA remedies (Aconiet, Arnica and Arsenicum)
They are essential remedies for fear and anxiety and bruise, so please always have them ready.
I believe it is advisable to deal with a shock by this disaster with homoeopathy in order to avoide PTSD.
2. RA remedies (Cadm-s, Sol, Pluton, Kali-iod, Cadm-s, Rad-br, Uran-n, and Caes-h)
They are suitable for damages from radiation.
If you have homoeopathic home kit, the below remedies are good for shock, trauma and emergency (they are also recommended to people who used to suffer from PTSD).
Best regards,
Torako Yui
Chairperson of JPHMA
This huge earthquake in North east coastal area has been reported as the worst in Japan and I heard the below news as one episode what was happening on this horrible day. This made me think about this event, being in the midst of an ongoing process. I would like to tell you very important thing how I would take this disaster and would like you to think.
There was a young lady, who was working for the village town hall in south Sanriku town, which was one of the badly affected places. She was in charge of risk management in the town hall and had a responsibility to inform people in village that the town is expecting to have a huge Tsunami, so she decided to stay at the hall. Even her mother called her to escape, this young lady did not respond to it and kept announcing people in the village through local transmission `Please evacuate from the village! Please evacuate! 6m high Tsunami is coming to this town!'
Her mother made the heartbreaking decision to evacuate from the village by a car, leaving her daughter behind. She evacuated, listening to her daughter's announcing voice. Cars behind the mother were wiped away. People kept beeping horns in their cars for seeking help. The mother could escape to a mountain side with listening to her daughter's voice and car horn sounds, but it was real pain for her.
In the end, most of people at the village town hall were killed by this disaster. Only a few tough men who hanged on an iron pole on a roof terrace could survive. The young lady was announcing on third floor of the building until the end. All windows were broken and there were full of rubbles in the wracked building. It was found that the tsunami was not 6 meter high, but was 10 meter high, and wiped the young lady and the village town.
Moreover, the most serious problem by this huge Tsunami has now been on nuclear plants on the coastal area. Japan has approximately 55 nuclear plants on coastal places, which is extraordinary in the world.
What this disaster made me think was that Japanese people should be awakened cleverly. I think that we should start a movement to stop having nuclear plants. I think Japanese people should be brave enough to say that we do not need them anymore, and I would like to generate such move from Japan to the world.
I think it would be good if other countries in the world agree with this move, as Japan start this protest against nuclear plants. What Japanese people should do now is to replace nuclear plants with other resourced plants, being used natural power such as oceans' waves, and winds. We really should work towards such development, which we can use nature to generate electricity.
I am strongly feeling that Japan should start this move, dreaming a day, when there is no nuclear plants in Japan, in midst of this disaster.
At the moment, 1,800 people were found killed, 15,000 people are missing. It is expecting the death toll will be more than 10,000 people.
As Japan have already experienced atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we, Japanese people really should tell that we do not want to have nuclear plants in our country. I think that it is time for Japanese to face this issue.
If we, Japanese people, do not do any actions after suffering from such big disaster and huge victims and being expected radiation exposure, it will not change nuclear plants situation in the world.
I am feeling this is our mission for Japan, who received this big catastrophe.
That is why, it is time for we, Japanese, to hang in.
We could not realize how dreadful to have 55 nuclear pants until we had such huge victims.
That is why, I think we have to keep improving ourselves every day.
Hahnemann said `Aude sapere (Dare to know)'.
We have to know what is safe and what is not safe, what is truth and what is not truth, and what is right and what is not right. It is time to know those things.
I believe that people in the world will be saved if Japan stop having nuclear plants.
I think that Japanese people should start this move with courage. I really hope such dangerous nuclear plants will disappear from your countries, too.
Dear my colleagues in homoeopathy,
I would really like to show you recovered Japan at the time of ICH and JPHMA international conference on 8, 9 and 10 October this year.
Please come to conference in Japan by all means.
I am very looking forward to meeting you here in Japan.
With best wishes,
Torako Yui
Chairperson of JPHMA
