NADA stands for National American Detoxification Association (NADA)[i] [ii].
What is the NADA acupuncture protocol?
The NADA acupuncture protocol is a protocol of auricular acupuncture to treat addiction. It is a fixed ear acupuncture protocol that does not involve diagnosis and usually are not changed.
Which are the points that constitute the NADA protocol?
This acupuncture protocol consists of auricular acupuncture points: LUNG 2, SHENMEN, POINT AUTONOMIC, LIVER, KIDNEY.
Who may use the NADA protocol?
According to Chad Dupuis of Yin Yang House, by its fixed nature there are many places that allow the administration of treatment for non-acupuncturists personal.
What is ACACD?
ACACD means American College of Addictionology and Compulsive Disorders.
Wich acupuncture protocol they use in the treatment of addictions?
The ACACD uses the following protocol of auricular acupuncture: POINT ZERO, SHENMEN, POINT AUTONOMY, KIDNEY, BRAIN, LYMPHATIC SYSTEM.
These treatments have scientific support?
No. There is not any valid study proving the efficacy of acupuncture to treat addiction and much less on fixed acupuncture protocols of auricular acupuncture.
Interestingly each time a scientific study concludes by ineffectiveness of acupuncture in treating addiction, the study ends up being discredited by acupuncturists, because they are using fixed acupuncture protocols. The same acupuncturists that defend the validity of fixed acupuncture protocols of NADA or ACACD to treat addiction.
These treatments are based on TCM (Tradicional Chinese Medicine)?
According to the NADA site yes[iii]. They say specifically that:
“While adapted to Western attitudes and conditions, the NADA method derives directly from the Chinese medicine theory of detoxification”[iv]
Very unlikely this will be true for the simple fact that any analysis of TCM is based on reading the clinical signs and symptoms of the patient for diagnosis (based on disease and clinical patterns) followed by therapeutic principles.
As mentioned by Chad Dupuis:
“The detoxification protocols, in contrast with much of Chinese medicine, involve no diagnosis and are usually not modified in any way”[v].
TCM is not based on fixed acupuncture protocols and does not prescribe therapies without a proper diagnosis and terapeutical principles.
