    • Online - Canonical Formula Equivalencies and Dr. Tian Heming's Practice of the Perfect Conclusion - $218.00 every 6 months and a $873.00 sign-up fee

    The concept of Formula Equivalency means that two formulas can treat the same clinical presentation but with different ingredients and through a different angle of approach. For this seminar, Dr. Versluys has organized all the equivalent formulas of Zhang Zhongjing along the classifications of Interior-Exterior, Hot-Cold, Excess-Deficient, Functional-Material, and Qi-Water-Blood. The study of such organization will shed new light on previously known formulas and solve clinical problems when a certain formula is not producing the expected results in clinic.

    • Online - The Pathophysiology of the Small Intestine - $218.00 every 6 months and a $873.00 sign-up fee

    Both in Western physiology as well as in Chinese medicine, the small intestine is a very important organ fulfilling indispensable physiological functions. 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. Actually, the small intestine is 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.

    The Decoction Classic or Tangye Jing is the ancestral book upon which the formulas used in Zhang Zhongjing’s Shanghan Zabing Lun were based. Though a lost work, the early 20th century retrieval of a work by Tao Hongjing, titled Secret Key to the Essential Methods for the Application of Herbs for Viscera and Bowels, has allowed us to again study the most important Tangye Jing formulas and directly observe their connection with the Shanghan system. The seminar will give a detailed overview of the historical situation and importance of the Tangye Jing as well as instruct in the pathologies indicated for the use of the formulas recorded. The seminar will elucidate the architecture of the Tangye Jing formulas, and their relationship with Zhang Zhongjing’s formulas and elaborate on the modification system presented in the Tangye Jing as a guide for advanced modifications of Zhang Zhongjing’s formulas.
