1pm – 5:30pm New Orleans time (similar to the Salons) Instructor: Laurie Ayres Note: This is a LIVE AND INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL EVENT and will be held online via “Zoom” The aim of this lecture is to help the participant better use their Chinese medical knowledge to assist in the of support patients suffering with various forms of cancer. To form an effective integrative approach to support or treat patients with any disease we must first understand our system to the greatest possible degree, so the highest level of understanding and practice can form part of that integration. As such, this lecture will focus purely on the classical Chinese medical practice of the Tian lineage style of Shang Han Za Bing Lun (Shang Han Lun & Jin Gui Yao Lue) practice. It will include a thorough exploration of the classical understanding of numerous forms of cancer and the processes behind them. We will also study a wide range of common clinical presentations for a number of cancers that are frequently encountered. This theoretical understanding will then be used to show how we can best help support individual patients suffering with cancer, and how this can effectively be achieved alongside other treatments.

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 […]

Pricing: $600 - Early bird price (ends October 28th) $700 - Full price With the prevalence of digestive system & middle jiao pathology either as a primary complaint or an aspect of the overall presentation in modern clinical practice it is imperative to understand how to diagnose & treat such problems. This is especially true in the field of herbal medicine, where our treatments must enter & take effect via the centre. To gain a clear, systematic, & clinically applicable understanding of how to treat these issues one must look to the clinical classic of the Shang Han Za Bing Lun (Shang Han Lun & Jin Gui Yao Lue). Zhang Zhong Jing understood that the correct physiological function of the middle jiao was of paramount importance in any & every pathology in the human body, & he clearly demonstrates this in his formula system presented in the Shang […]
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. Venue still to be determined!
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.
Due to continued covid-related travel restrictions on travelers entering Australia we have been forced to postpone the SHL Lines Retreat one more time. Because of this, we have decided to offer Tyler's Australia version of the Wuyun Liuqi Advanced Seminar on the last few days of the original Lines Retreat dates. For the new dates of the Lines Retreat, please check the relevant page under the Byron Bay venue. Students previously registered for the Lines Retreat are being offered the chance to apply their retreat tuition (at a discount) towards registration for the Yunqi seminar with Tyler and Arnaud (virtually). The remainder of the tuition can be maintained as a credit towards the eventual Lines Retreat in early 2023 (dates to be announced).
