Thank you. \n  \n\n\nCourse Descriptions:\nDr. Tian’s Method of Perfect Conclusion shanshou\, and Formula Equivalencies\nDr. Tian’s understanding of canonical formulas allowed him to always know which formula should be followed by which other formula to both stabilize results\, as well as treat concomitant or residual conditions. His ability to do so was because of his advanced understanding of how formulas can be equivalent to each other\, and therefore used in sequence. \nThe model of Formula Equivalency instructs on the treatment of identical or highly similar diseases or clinical presentations\, with architecturally very different formulas. Zhang Zhongjing himself implicitly introduced the concept of Formula Equivalency in Shanghan Lun lines 69 and 82; 91 and 92; 42 and 225\, as well as in the Jingui Yaolue Chest Obstruction chapter\, etc. \nFor this seminar\, Dr. Versluys has organized all the equivalent formulas of Zhang Zhongjing along the aforementioned classifications of Interior-Exterior\, Hot-Cold\, Excess-Deficient\, Functional-Material\, and Qi-Water-Blood. The study of such\norganization will shed new light on previously known formulas and solve clinical problems when a certain formula is not producing results in clinic\, allowing the practitioner to gain insight in which other prescription is clinically equivalent\, essentially treating the same illness\, but from a different angle of approach\, be it more functional versus material\, supplementing versus moving\, etc\, all while staying within the framework of Zhang Zhongjing’s canonical prescriptions. \nThe seminar presents the next level of insight into the canonical formulas for the already serious Chinese herbalist with a background in classical prescriptions. A preview of this course can be seen here: https://www.iceam.org/course/canonical-formula-equivalencies-and-dr-tian-hemings-practice-of-the-perfect-conclusion/ \nThe Pathophysiology of the Small Intestine \nBoth in Western physiology as well as in Chinese medicine\, the small intestine is a very important organ fulfilling indispensable physiological functions. But when reading the classics of Chinese medicine\, not much has been written about it. As such it becomes undeniably pressing to revisit said organ to discover more about its significance as a member of the court of twelve organ officials of classical times. \nDr. Versluys has spent years looking into this subject matter and discovered that the small intestine is actually the most important organ in the body\, second to the Heart. Both organs belong to the Imperial Fire of the South\, but the Heart is considered inaccessible and off-limits to direct treatment. As such\, the Small Intestine becomes the most important organ to treatment in pathologies pertaining to the governance of blood and the supply of fire in the body. \nIn this seminar\, Versluys will present the culmination of his many years of research\, explaining the physiology of the Small Intestine in relation to the three aspects of qi\, water and blood\, and explain how the many treatments said to affect the Mingmen\,\nactually treat the Small Intestine. Examples of herbs and formulas treating the Small Intestine will be used to give insight into its workings and its diseases. To illustrate said points\, we will analyze relevant passages of pertinent Han dynasty classics such as the Neijing\, the Shanghan Lun\, and the Jingui Yaolue. \nA preview of this course can be seen here: https://www.iceam.org/course/the-pathophysiology-of-the-small-intestine/ \n  \n\n  \nTotal of credits: 28 credits (NCCAOM approved; California pending) \nFor European Diplomates\, there is equivalency with your local organizations. \nAny logistical questions regarding this event may be directed to Maximilian Beer at maximilianclbeer@gmail.com\, while all questions regarding the courses may be directed to Arnaud at aversluys@iceam.org.

SUMMARY:2019 European Advanced Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine®\nApplication of the Shanghan Lun Formulas\nAlong the Five Movements and Six Qi System of the Neijing\nApril 6 – 10\, 2019\nWelcome Kongress Hotel\, Mußstr. 7\,\n96047 Bamberg\, Germany\nTel: +49 (0) 951-7000-0 \nPresented by:\nTyler Rowe\, MS\, DCCM\, LAc\nDr. Arnaud Versluys PhD\, MD (China)\, LAc\n \n‘Five Movements and Six Qi’ wuyun liuqi 五運六氣is the common name of a theoretical system that documents patterns in meteorological changes observed during the sixty year Chinese calendar\, and how these changes affect human beings subject to these influences. The system also describes basic guidelines for the herbal medicine treatment of the conditions caused by these six influences. \nThe theory was documented in chapters 66-71 and 74 of the Suwen. These seven chapters\, which make up approximately one third of the entire text\, originally existed as a separate work titled the Yinyang Dalun 陰陽大論 or Great Treatise on Yin and Yang which was referenced in Zhang Zhongjing’s preface to the Shanghan Lun. The chapters were rediscovered after being lost between Han and Tang dynasties and added back into the corpus of the Neijing by Wang Bing in his 762 CE edition. \nThe Shanghan Lun is the first clinical handbook explaining the treatment of this kind of disorders caused by external invasion. The disease manifestations\, as well as their transmutation and progression with time\, are described in great detail in the Shanghan Lun\, as is their treatment with the canonical herbal formulas. \nThe Yun Qi system is unique as the grandfather of all time-based\, also referred to as chrono-biological\, methods in Chinese medicine. It applies the sixty year lunisolar calendar to calculate and create a forecast model of the prevailing meteorological conditions of each year\, from which medical insights can be gained. \nThe Chinese calendar is based on millennia of astronomical observations and whilst it is often applied to attempt Fate Calculation\, the Yun Qi is not an astrological or divinatory technique. It is a time-based medical theory that provides the clinician with verifiable data that translates into practical clinical insight and solutions. For more than a thousand years\, since its peak of popularity in the Song Dynasty\, the system has influenced prognosis\, diagnosis\, pathology\, pathophysiology\, epidemiology and herbal treatment in Chinese Medicine. \nThe ‘Five Movements’ correlate to the Five Elements\, or Five Phases\, and form the overall underlying weather pattern of a given year. They are determined by the ten Heavenly Stems tiangan 天干. The ‘Six Qi’ are often referred to as the Six Pernicious Influences and correspond with the system of Six Conformations liujing 六經. The calculation of their appearance during different times of the year is done using the Twelve Earthly Branches dizhi 地支. This makes it possible to forecast unseasonable and potentially extreme weather visiting the regular seasons. As such\, these ever-changing qi are commonly referred to as the ‘Guest’ weather\, in relation to the more stable and regular ‘Host’ weather of every season. When this information is correctly analysed\, the Neijing provides a therapeutic action plan for the prescription of herbal formulas with a set palate of flavors for each scenario. \nThis seminar will not only teach us the already calculated weather patterns and their possible pathologies for the next sixty years\, it will also correlate the flavor palates to Zhang Zhongjing’s formulas. \n  \nThe first part of this seminar will introduce the system in historical context and lay the foundation for calculations through understanding of the following basic doctrines: \n\nYellow River Chart\nLuo River Writing\n8 Trigrams\n10 Stems\n12 Branches\nSexagenary Calendar Cycle\n\n  \nFurther\, it instructs on the key aspects of the Lunisolar Calendar: \n\n24 Seasonal Nodes\n28 Asterisms\n\n  \nThe second part of the seminar will investigate and chart the base climates and primary pathologies correlating with the Five Movements and Six Qi. During this part\, we will also explore interactions and combinations in the charts and the role of local observation (including Northern versus Southern Hemisphere considerations) in modifying the findings\, with reference to pulse diagnosis. \nFinally\, a monograph for each of the sixty years will be presented with a strong emphasis on the conformations affected\, flavour dynamics and formula selection\, mirroring Zhang Zhongjing and our lineage founder Dr Tian Heming’s applications of the system. \nThis seminar is the first ever explanation of the full system on how to read and interpret the movement and qi of each year\, in order to better understand the weather patterns unfolding annually\, allowing you to understand their role in your patients’ pathology and subsequently improve your formula choice\, or modification thereof. \nThe course is co-taught by Arnaud Versluys and Tyler Rowe. Tyler has both a Bachelor of Acupuncture\, and a Bachelor of Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Victoria University of Technology. He is a Diplomate in Canonical Chinese Medicine\, graduated from the former Melbourne branch of ICEAM in 2013. He has years of experience in researching Chinese cosmological studies and traditional geomancy and has purposely developed this training for ICEAM. \nArnaud will teach the Shanghan Lun parts of the seminar\, using instructions from both the regular Shanghan lines\, as well as Chapter Three of the Song version of the Shanghan Lun. Tyler Rowe will instruct of the Neijing theory of the system and the actual monographs. This is the first-ever ICEAM Advanced Seminar offered in Europe. The total course confers 30 credits of continuing education. Advanced Seminars are offered once and this unique seminar is surely not to be missed!! \n  \nSeminar Language: English\, no interpretation \n  \nRegistration Cost: \n\nEarly-bird: USD 1\,815.00 (register before 11/30/18)\nRegular Price: USD 2\,135.00 (register after 12/1/18)\n\n  \nTo register for this seminar\, you need to do two things: \n\nRegister online on the ICEAM site by adding the seminar to your cart and going through the check out process.\nContact the hotel following the procedure as outlined in the reservation guide document attached. No payment is needed for the hotel at this point\, as you will make payments at the time of check in. But you need to register with them as early as possible to get a room reserved.\n\nReservation guide document: \nbamberg iceam_iceam advanced seminar 2019_hotel reservation guide \n  \nNote: this seminar is for Diplomates only\, but registration is also allowed for the current students who will graduate in November in Offenbach.
