I think you have no idea of the importance this trip has had for me. You (SBAEC) are giving
me a unique opportunity; you are helping me to realize a dream I have had since childhood.
Even if I had come here in another manner it would not have been the same without you.
You are two marvelous individuals who are teaching me much more than Traditional Chinese
Medicine: you are teaching me how to be a good person, a better person.

For me, this trip to China represented the discovery of a new world. I encountered new
persons, new cultures, and new ways of looking at life. The friendships that I made, the
outings we had, the course we took, and the patients and Chinese doctors that I met will
remain forever in my memory and my daily life, considering that all of this made a
contribution to me as an individual and now I am another person, different from the one I
was when I started out from Brazil.

I would like to thank all the individuals who were present with me in this unique experience.

I would also like to thank the SBAEC team for its competence and dedication.

I want you to know that this trip was very important for me, not only from a technical point of
view, but also of a perspective of reviewing attitudes, thoughts and values. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this opportunity that you gave
me.

One of my patients asked me to summarize this trip in a few words, and I told him:
“I went from 3000 years B.C. to 3000 years A.D., and only in this way could I feel truly in the
present, where the past and the future meet, where I really need to be and where we can
achieve changes, manifestations.”

Once again, thank you so much.
