Eknapa Namsirikul, M.D.
Dr. Eknapa
Namsirikul (known as Dr. Pa to her patients and students) is a conventional
medical doctor with an alternative background. As part of a Chinese family,
raised in Bangkok, Thailand, Chinese herbs were her main stay of treatment and
she has always understood that illnesses are caused by disharmonies within the
body.
Dr. Pa excelled
in school, allowing her to pursue her dream to become a medical doctor. She was
awarded scholarships for her high school education in Singapore and her
pre-clinical years at the University of Nottingham, UK, where she also obtained
a Bachelor of Medical Sciences with honors. She then came back for her medical
degree at Srinakarinwirot University, Thailand.
Upon completion
of her medical degree, she entered her internship years. She did as well as her
knowledge back then allowed her to, but she constantly knew something was
missing in the conventional world. Patients with pain would come back for more
NSAIDs, insomnia patients would return for more sleeping pills, and those with
bloating needed more PPIs! With all these medications, eventually they would
turn up with side effects. She knew there was something she was yet to
discover, something that would address the causes, not merely masking the
symptoms. She then recalled the Chinese Medicine that was used in her childhood
and became interested in Acupuncture.
However, as she
was about to enroll in an Acupuncture course, she had an accident that was the
turning point of her life. She was admitted to a hospital for 20
days, during which time she lost her eyesight. During that period, she
struggled with antibiotics, steroids, and many painful procedures. While very
challenging, that time allowed her to understand fully how it feels to be a
patient, physically and emotionally. Those precious days taught her an
important lesson. It taught her that being alive and healthy is all that is
required for a person to do anything else in life.
During her stay
in the hospital, one of her attending doctors, Dr. Nalinee Suthipisal,
introduced Dr. Pa to energy medicine. She was treated with electromagnetic
devices and referred to Dr. Daniel Nicolle, a talented, warm, and powerful
chiropractor. He practices not only chiropractic, but also B.E.S.T (Bio
Energetic Synchronization Technique), CSMBC (Conscious Subconscious Mind Body
Connection), and many other techniques.
With the help of
Dr. Daniel and Dr. Nalinee, she regained her eyesight completely. Her physical
and emotional wounds were healed. That accident was the best mistake of her
life, for it introduced her to the wonderful world of energy medicine. Since
then she has become Dr. Daniel's best student.
