Utrecht - Shanghan Lun Abdominal Diagnosis Fukushin
2024-04-20 | ICEAM Utrecht, Onderdoor 5, 3995 DW, Houten, Netherlands
Japanese abdominal diagnosis or Fukushin is the diagnostic art developed in medieval Japan based on the canonical writings by Zhang Zhongjing. Careful inspection of the Shanghan Zabing Lun reveals countless references to abdominal conditions that could only have been diagnosed by actual palpation of the abdomen. The skill however never fully developed in China but flourished in Japan. Throughout history, two major trends and types of abdominal diagnosis developed, being the Nanjing and Shanghan Lun schools, which respectively diagnose the abdomen in service of either acupuncture or meridian treatment, and herbal treatment. Fukushin refers specifically to Shanghan Lun style of abdominal diagnosis developed by Japanese scholars during Edo period (1603-1867 CE) for the purpose of prescribing the Han dynasty formulas of Zhang Zhongjing.

The Treatise on Cold Damage or Shanghan Lun is one of the most prominent Eastern Han-dynasty (circa CE 200) classics in Chinese medicine and the first clinical handbook in China’s medical history. It is also the center of the Canonical Chinese Medicine Training.
The differentiation system and consequent text is outlined along a grid of six channels or confirmations. This course aims to provide an in-depth understanding into the nature of six confirmation pathologies as well as their systematic treatment. The introduction will present the book and its author in the social and geo-political setting of the Eastern Han dynasty. The concept of Cold Damage shanghan will be explained from the Inner Classic of the Yellow Emperor huangdi neijing and the Classic of Difficulties nanjing perspective as a class of externally triggered illnesses of potentially contagious and lethal nature.
The second part of the instruction will focus on providing clear insight in the core physiological functioning of the confirmations. Various models from the Neijing will be used to analyze and explain the physiology and consequent pathology of the six conformations.
Following, the instruction will focus on the understanding of the conformation pathologies at hand. Insight will be acquired into the sequential time-based nature of the confirmation pathologies and their passage patterns including pathological progression and therapeutic regression possibilities.
The remainder focuses on the core conformation pathologies. First we will study the standard or straight-up zheng patterns of all six conformations. The collective of these patterns forms the complete outline of the Shanghan Lun and its system of six conformation differentiation. The yang conformation patterns will be presented categorized as surface patterns biaozheng, conformation or channel patterns jingzheng and bowel or internal hollow organ patterns fuzheng along with their standard treatment scenarios as embodied by the archetypical formulas. The straight-up yin conformation patterns will be categorized according the nature of their presentation. The aforementioned patterns will be taught in the form of formula patterns tangzheng which will correspond to the pulse patterns maizheng as taught in the pulse weekend and the abdominal patterns fuzheng as taught in the abdominal diagnosis weekend. Each pattern will be presented from the perspective of its hallmark symptoms.
Lastly, the combined diseases hebing and co-existing patterns jianzheng, often identified as diseases due to mistreatment huaibing will be presented. Regardless of how the illnesses came about, the combined diseases will be categorized as yang conformation combined patterns, yin conformation combined patterns, and lastly yin-yang conformation combined patterns. In total, the sixty core conformation patterns, both simplex and complex, of the whole Shanghan Lun will be covered.

Online (Europe) - Shanghan Zabing Lun Formula Families
2024-06-01 - 2024-06-02 | Hybrid Training Series (EU), Netherlands
The Shanghan Zabing Lun or the Treatise on Cold Damage and Complex Diseases is considered the forefather of all formula books. The original work was lost to the tooth of time, but most of its contents are preserved in two extant works called the Treatise on Cold Damage shanghan lun and the Concise Essentials of the Golden Cabinet jingui yaolue. The first work primarily addresses externally triggered disorders while the latter work describes the pathology and treatment of complex diseases generated internally. The herbal prescriptions or formulas recorded in this work form the basis for the practice of Chinese herbal medicine. And only in-depth understanding of the architecture of these formulas will ensure their effective and safe use in clinic. Furthermore, only an encompassing insight in the inter-connectedness of the formulas and their modular nature will allow a practitioner to expand on their clinical application ion modern clinic settings. As such, when studying these formulas, it is imperative to cross-reference the aforementioned two works because only cross-reference will allow the practitioner to see the greater picture and reveal the full application context of a prescription. Since complex diseases are often compounded versions of simplex conformation illnesses, Jingui formulas are often hybrid modifications of the Shanghan formulas and vice-versa. The course will instruct on the architecture of the classical herbal formulas of the Shanghan Lun and the Jingui Yaolue in cross-reference, demonstrating how they relate to each other and illustrating the full breadth of their clinical indications. The Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue formulas are related like family members and their architectural characteristics will be taught in a modular pedigree fashion. As a starting point, the formulas will be categorized in formula families which will show their mutual relationships. The very concept of formula families was introduced by Zhang Zhongjing in the taiyin chapter of the Shanghan Lun, and was greatly expanded upon by two Qing dynasty Shanghan Lun specialists and commentators, Xu Lingtai in China and Todo Yoshimasu of Japan.
Practically the course will provide an in-depth discussion on a core selection of formulas, including both formulas for external invasion, as well as internal damage, all categorized along core formula families. The familial affinity of formulas revolves around shared herb methods. Herb methods represent the full spectrum functions of an herb in different formulaic contexts. The course will instruct on the formula families of some of the most central herbs methods of the Zhang Zhongjing universe. The families are: Guizhi family, Mahuang Family, Fuling family, Shigao Family, Dahuang Family, Huanglian Family, Chaihu Family, Ganjiang Family, Renshen Family, Banxia Family, Fuzi Family, Shengdihuang Family, and the Danggui Family, etc. These are the very herb methods whose diagnostic parameters were taught in the pulse and abdomen seminars. In total around 200+ prescriptions will be discussed, which is approximately 60% of the Zhang Zhongjing formula collective.

Online (Europe) - Shanghan Lun Canonical Formula Modification System
2024-07-06 - 2024-07-07 | Hybrid Training Series (EU), Netherlands
During this course, a strict system of clinical modification will be taught. The system was developed by Dr. Versluys over the course of the last ten years by analyzing both Zhang Zhongjing’s prescriptions as well as the characteristics of the Tian-Zeng lineage’s clinical practice. It is fully grounded and based in the classical writings of the original designer of the formulas, Zhang Zhongjing. The system is organized along a hierarchical system of formula modifications and provides a failsafe method for modification to adapt to a broader collection of complex clinical manifestations as often encountered in Chinese medicine clinic in the West. A waterproof modification system forms the basis of classical herbal practice and the elimination of random clinical variables which are the greatest cause for failure in clinic.

The Treatise on Cold Damage shanghan lun is the oldest surviving clinical handbook in the history of Chinese medicine. Written by Eastern Han dynasty (circa 200 CE) imperial envoy Zhang Zhongjing, it is an integral part of his collective writings once labeled the Treatise on Cold Damage and Complex Diseases shanghan zabing lun. But the contents of the Shanghan Lun as we know it in current day is far from complete. The present versions studied in Chinese medical schools as well as in the West, do not include the original first three chapters of Rules for Pulse Differentiation bianmai fa, Rules on Pulse Assessment pingmai fa and Cold Damage Outline shanghan li. Regardless whatever motivation was behind the historical deletions of these passages, of the aforementioned chapters, the chapters on pulse instructions are crucial for anyone desiring to fully grasp Zhang Zhongjing’s clinical instructions. Especially since the pulse patterns maizheng form the core diagnostic parameters in the establishment of the formula patterns fangzheng by which the canonical clinician categorizes disease and therapy.
Note regarding the Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue Pulse Seminars: due to the proprietary and complex nature of these seminars, they cannot be registered for individually and can only be taken as part of the total sequence. The pulse seminars are open for individual registration only to Diplomates of Canonical Chinese Medicine already certified by our institute who wish to retake the seminar.

2024 New Orleans ICEAM Advanced Seminar
2024-10-12 - 2024-10-16 | ICEAM New Orleans, Audubon Nature Institute, 6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA, 70118, United States
Title: Tian Lineage© Shanghan Lun Pulse Diagnosis™ Intensive
Details:
Presenter: Arnaud Versluys, PhD, MD (China), LAc
Location: Audubon Zoo Nature Institute, 6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70118
CEUs: 30 NCCAOM Credits (pending) 30 California PDA (approved)
For whom: Diplomates, and any student who has already taken SHL Pulses
Course Description:
This advanced seminar builds on the Shanghan Lun Pulse Diagnosis seminar that is part of the Diplomate training. The basic pulse diagnosis seminar provides the student with a selection of relevant instructions on Han dynasty pulse theory, as well the basic primary and sometimes secondary pulse presentations for a core selection of Shanghan Lun formulas. This advanced seminar subsequently provides a greater depth of theoretical understanding, along with the FULL list of primary, secondary and, if applicable, tertiary pulses for ALL Shanghan Lun formulas, including the most obscure and never-discussed prescriptions.
The transmission of the pulses will be given in the same order in which Dr. Tian transmitted them to his disciples in 1970, the last time he ever did so. This allows us to follow along with his train of thought. Furthermore, the seminar is replete with direct quotes from Dr. Tian on the meaning of the pulses for each formula. It is as if Dr. Tian is talking to us directly! Included in the seminar are Dr. Tian’s pulse-only based modification instructions for each formula. These were not included in the Tian Modification seminar before.
The general outline of the course is first an integral line-by-line instruction of the Pulse Differentiation Methods (bianmai fa) chapter of the original Shanghan Lun, followed by Dr. Tian’s specific pulse theory, including the pulse poems recorded in the Zeng family notebooks. Lastly, every pulse for every Shanghan Lun formula will be instructed.
The seminar is open to Diplomates and any student who has successfully completed the Shanghan Lun pulse diagnosis seminar. Diplomates can sign up for the seminar online. For students who have not yet graduated but are eligible to attend, please email aversluys@iceam.org to register manually.
This is the most in-depth and most complete Tian Lineage Shanghan Lun pulse diagnosis seminar, offered ever. There is nothing to be learned beyond this. The seminar has been many years in development, and it is finally being delivered live. It will not be made available as a recording. The Shanghan Lun Pulse Advanced is the first part and will be followed by the Jingui Pulse Advanced in the coming years. The seminar is being offered in the US first and we welcome everybody to attend. In case you cannot make it to New Orleans, we also intend to offer it live in Australia and Europe in the coming years.
