The student's voice

“A wonderful place to study — David Lujan is a fantastic teacher: very generous in sharing his extensive knowledge and experience, he brings incredible energy and humour to his courses and is extremely supportive and empowering.”

“I took the Acupuncture course with Dr Lujan last year in November, in Goa. The experience has been insightful in so many ways. Dr Lujan treats hundreds of patients free of charge and his method is highly beneficial. I personally witnessed recoveries (at times serious health conditions) on a weekly basis. Through this course I learnt and practiced acupuncture (daily) from someone who is highly intuitive and humble enough to pass on to students the concept of Chinese Medicine in a way that becomes easily accessible so it can be used in practice. Not only that, Dr Lujan has taught me to feel and perceive the subconscious of the patient's story and treat what is hidden and denied more than what could seem obvious. I am now back in London and I feel excited every time I have to treat my patient because I have confidence in the results. Dr Lujan's method and protocols work and he is always there to support me if I have doubts. I had previous experience in holistic medicine but I can ensure that this course is for anyone interested in starting with Acupuncture. Beautiful experience, thank you.”

“I took the course and it went on for a month. I did the practice after class. Professor David is very efficient with his teaching and explaining the theory. It's a wide field to study, I found my deep interest and I'm practicing myself in north India. I feel happy and satisfied that I am contributing my knowledge and skill to those in need. I would like to attend Professor David's course again in the future. Many thanks.”

“I have been having acupuncture treatment at Dr. Lujan's clinic for 3 years now, and getting very good results... the treatment is free so it benefits many. Dr. Lujan is very dedicated to his work. He has written books on acupuncture and is well known in the world of acupuncture. We are lucky indeed to have his clinic in Assagao! I have also been a student at the clinic, taken two courses, excellent!”

“Want to learn acupuncture? This is the best place to do it. Theory classes in the mornings, hospital practice in the afternoons... everything is set up so the student can learn to actually work. At the end of the course there's an exam (you really have to study) and they give you the diploma… then you go back to your country ready to work. I don't think there's a better place to learn to work with needles.”

“Thank you so much for such a deep and enriching course. As you always say, now it's up to me to make the most of it. A hug, my friend.”

“Best teacher ever!! I am serious, at least to me. I love you David.”

“Full hand-on course with beautiful and funny morning lectures. Even within classmates we practiced all treatments. Basically nearly 8 hrs of practice a day for a month. Great. Congratulations for the system of work. I was searching for something like this for years.”

“I am coming next year for sure, I have the time of my life with all of you guys. See you soon.”

“I loved it!! You only learn by doing, that's clear — I honestly don't know what others do with so much theory that personally I sometimes don't even believe. Let them prove it the way it's been proven in this wonderful month. Less talk and more fight. A kiss to everyone. I love you all.”

“I have been taking acupuncture courses in 3 countries (USA, China and India) and I must admit that here with David Luján is where I have seen better results. It is unbelievable how patients can recover so fast. As he says this is the battlefield and my other courses were the office with too much theory. Now I know, lectures and proof. This is all.”

“What a beautiful experience, very much so... with all those patients in great need, to make them happier day after day is a great feeling. Keep it on David what you do is amazing.”

“I don't know about the rest but to me it was a course to myself, a journey very deep inside. I love the lectures about the subconsciousness. I cried a few times in my room like a snake changing its skin. I love you all. One more of those hugs to all.”

“I have a patient with great result thanks to the origen treatment. It is great. His pain is 100% gone. Now he wants me to treat also his wife from the same problem: fibromyalgia. Apparently the wrong habits are the key of many diseases. Thanks doc.”

“They recommended the course to me and praised it to the skies. Now I can say they fell short. What an incredible piece of work, and such important work it is. If we were all this genuine, without nonsense, things would go better in the world.”

“I enjoyed the book "Palacios del Interior" from start to finish, wonderful. And I should say I haven't taken David Luján's course, but I do know Chinese Medicine. I'd love to, but it isn't possible for me. Let's hope he can come to these lands someday to give us a masterclass.”

“Doctor, I have a great time with all of you. This is an experience of human heart that should be essential to anyone. This is what a teacher should give us in school when we were little.”

“I just found my angle in life because of you dear David. My appreciation is forever.”

“I can't find my notes on the pericardium. I did the treatment on a patient from memory and it worked out well for him. I hope I didn't get too much wrong — as you always say, it isn't a mistake if the patient improves. Please send me the pages. I miss Goa a lot, I loved riding the motorbike around. Best wishes.”

“I am back to the snow and I love it but my heart will always be with all of you in Goa. Helping people with my own hands is something that I can't ever forget.”

“A few years ago, a friend of mine returned home from a 4 week intensive training course at your Natural Acupuncture school in Goa. She had such a good experience there, and truly felt that it was the best training she had ever received! In fact, she ended up staying and paying for more weeks of course beyond her training!”

“His course has allowed me learn how to treat patients with acupuncture. It has allowed me to experience the benefits not only personally but I have treated lots of patients there with different diagnosis and have had excellent results. The course is very complete, very interesting and professional. I highly recommend it.”

“It's really interesting, because ever since we took out the "sádico" (needle) from my mother, she's not only calmer, she doesn't even snore anymore, ha! Her neck pain went away completely. I won't say anything else so as not to spoil the magic, but after almost 31 years with those problems, there's no other word for it than magic. I hope, teacher, to get results like this myself with my own patients. A warm hug.”

“It's me again, the usual pest. Here's my update: the patient I did the trauma-release on — like you told me — all went well. She's doing much better. Not only does she express herself more, according to her daughter, but her pain has gone down by about 60%, she tells us. Can't I keep clearing more traumas with her? I've already explained the inverted pyramid of traumas to her, but she's the one asking. What should I do? Keep with the treatment, or do another trauma release?”

“Long live fascia, bless it! It's incredible how fast it can work. You were right, it's smarter than it looks. I think fascia is smarter than the brain. I'm amazed by the results — at this rate I'll be buying myself a nice porch soon. Best wishes, teacher, and if you ever pass through Jerez, you have a home here with all our affection.”

“Congratulations for the book David, I am really enjoying it from the first page.”

“I just want to say thank you. I'm honestly not doing acupuncture right now, I'm super busy setting up a new computer company. But David, one thing is clear: what you taught me is for life, I'm a different person, and I'll always hold on to this perspective you opened up for me. Keep up that beautiful work, spreading out like the arms of an Indian god. And happy Christmas!!!”

“Juan and I are still here with the new practice, it's turned out really well, you'd be proud of us. But the best part is we're getting good results, this is growing much faster than we expected. We're really happy and going for more. A hug, my friend.”

“I must admit that this course have change my life. I was lost in some path that I was not enjoying. Thank you now you are all my soulmates.”

“Great course, it is far out from my previous expectations. I enjoy it from first to end. But more importantly I learn about my self, many things come back to place inside me. Thank you.”

“Just to congratulate you for the fantastic job you are doing for the indian community. I know you say that we are all a team but you are the one to me. Sorry to say that. Keep it on my friend.”

“You don't know me, and I'm honored to be able to introduce myself. I bought your book here in the city of Lima. I don't have the money to travel and shake your hand in person, with all my respect. Of course I study hard, because that's how God wants it, and I've read your book 5 times. I was already someone who worked with needles, and I tell you I follow it like the Bible, and it has transformed the small clinic I run. I only ask God that someday I might be able to go meet you, or that luck might bring you to Peru.”

“David, I still don't quite get the pulse thing, but as you told us, you have to get comfortable with uncertainty. It's a human science and nothing is 100% certain. But could you give me some more pointers? I am taking the pulses and treating patients based on what I see, and it seems to work. It's just that, well, you know how I am — I come from IT, I like everything to fit neatly. Well, let's see if I get used to this uncertainty in diagnosis. Eternally grateful, the crazy computer guy.”

“Just a few lines of deep gratitude. There's nothing more to say for such a wonderful course you've given us. So much more than needles, organs, or points. And I'll leave it there...”

“Hi dear David, how are you doing? I must admit that I have the time of my life with all of you in Goa. Excellent course and you are an amazing teacher. I hope life help me to come back next year. I am going to start with patients as soon as possible. I loved treating all those people in India, this now my mission. Take care darling and see you soon.”

“Wherever you are, my dear super teacher. Just wanted to share my eternal gratitude. I hope everything goes wonderfully for you in everything you do, which is real magic. I already have my own practice going, little by little. I know you said not to treat family and friends, but it's a start, and they're happy. I think they love me more now. Good luck, teacher.”

“Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever dare to treat patients, you know how I am. Even so, the idea of the internal organs, being able to understand them and knowing they're inside me doing their mysterious work — all of that and more is helping me understand things better every time I have to make decisions. For now I'm leaving that to them so I don't get it wrong myself. I promise that one day I'll help others, as I promised you. My dear teacher, there's no way to thank you enough for everything.”

“How are you, teacher, still here with the patients. I wanted to ask you something, if it's not too much trouble. I'm treating a patient with fibromyalgia — as you told us, you have to use two "sádicos" (needles) and at least two more "masos," plus whatever the pulse calls for. I wanted to thank you on behalf of my patient, who says her pain has gone away completely. But I only worked with two "masos" and nothing else. Is that possible? How could she have healed? I'm here for whatever you need. Warm regards.”

“This "origen" treatment seems like a miracle, honestly I'm still not entirely sure what I'm doing, I still need to understand it better. I can't quite believe it when patients tell me they're feeling better. But something's working. Thank you, and the day I understand it properly, I'll let you know.”

“I think I can only say that, along with another teacher I had at university who was also wonderful and who I always remember, David Luján has been someone who has also changed my life, my outlook, the way I understand and live. I hope I can help many people with these teachings. Thank you, you're a gift.”

“Hello dear teacher, I'd like to tell you that I'm working a lot and with very good results. I've found my path, as you say. I'm going to keep going until I've healed the whole world. A big kiss.”

“David Luján is like a son to me, he is the number one.”
