Trademark 101 for Acupuncturists and Health Care Providers
with Ben White

5pm PDT, 8pm EDT
Event Host
Overview
The trademark process is made up of three stages: clearance, prosecution, and enforcement. While a qualified and experienced trademark attorney is the best bet to deal with these three stages, there are things that every business owner can and should do to protect their trademark. This class will identify tips and tricks for each stage of the trademark process. Clearance: This involves searching to see if the trademark you want to use is free for registration and use. Prosecution: Once a search is conducted and the risks are acceptable to the business owner, it is time to file or prosecute the application. Enforcement: Once you register your trademark, you have to enforce your rights. This is a classic "use it or lose it" situation.

Self-Compassion: Softening Into Our True Nature
with Thomas Richardson
Recording
from May 15, 2020
Overview
In response to the suffering and trauma that is inherent in life, many of us create defense mechanisms that can harden into deeply conditioned patterns of how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. To return to our true nature of compassion, wisdom, and love, we must cultivate self-compassion through consciously deciding to soften – softening our physical body, emotions, and minds. As we do so, our innate nature effortlessly arises. This is a talk followed by a guided meditation.

“Love” is an imperative for healthy living. “Lack of love” dramatically affects health and is a treatable condition. In this presentation Dr Dunas will introduce the qualities and complex energetic make up of love. She will address the following questions: How does the capacity to love develop in patients as they go through each jing cycle into maturity? How is love defined and what historical reference points help us understand the definition of love according to Chinese medicine? How does culture help and hinder patients as they create, experience and give love? How can you, as a practitioner, enhance a patient’s experience of love, even during globally stressful times? How do energetic imbalances and clinical health problems affect a patient’s capacity to love? What is "false love" and why is it so prevalent in our world? What happens energetically when we fall in love or fall out of love? What are the energetic patterns that make up heartsickness? How does love heal and how can we help those under our care thrive with the capasity to love during stress?

This section features many precious oils such as Frankincense, Neroli, Rose and Sandalwood as well as detailing the specifics for safe and effective use of all essential oils.

Chronic Disease: The Initiating Causes and Downstream Effects
Beyond symptomatic treatment; looking at root causes.
with Butch Levy
See In StoreOverview
The goal of this course is to provide a broad overview of the root causes of chronic disease seen today in modern societies. Root causes of disease come from our toxic environment, exposure to infectious agents, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal disruption and imbalanced immunity. These insults create chronic inflammation and oxidative stress that damage cellular function, promoting chronic illness. This discussion will review each causative factor, its impact on health, and current approaches to treatment. It will integrate treatments used in Chinese medicine, Naturopathic medicine and Western medicine. Regardless of the paradigms you offer in your practice, one approach is often limited in therapy. Having multiple skill sets to approach a complex problem offers greater opportunity for restoring health. This course will bridge the East and West to provide a holistic perspective on chronic illness, with clinical pearls that can be applied right away.
Learning Objectives
- Understand current diagnostic approaches to uncovering these influences.
- Learn about the bodies response to imbalance and damage with inflammation and oxidative stress, and recognizing they are the pathway to diseases.
- Become familiar with the several causative factors that contribute to the development of chronic disease.
- Learn about treatment options to remediate each issue.

Safeguard Your Clinic Workspace Series 1 - Course 3
EMF Radiation
with Sue Nelson
See In Store See Entire Series *
* You can normally get a discount when you buy a series whole!
Overview
As a workplace concern, EMF Wireless radiation is not ‘on the radar’ for many TCM practitioners but it should be! Current safety standards continue to be based on outdated threshold limits for THERMAL-ONLY biological effects. As a result, EMF Wireless devices have proliferated the planet with totally inappropriate emission levels. These levels fail to integrate the growing weight-of-evidence warnings about the disastrous NON-THERMAL health effects! Lloyds of London – the biggest Insurance market in the world – will not accept liability for ‘Wi-Fi Injury’ associated with Wi-Fi devices. Lloyds has done its homework on both THERMAL and NON-THERMAL effects and thresholds. National standards are far from unified, especially since the release of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Study in 2016. This crucial 10-year Study confirmed the causal link between tumours of the Brain and Heart and excessive exposure to 2G and 3G mobile phones. Now the world is facing the 5G threat which will add to the aggregate burden of EMF radiation from digital meters, routers, and wireless devices in the community. EMF wavelengths cannot be effectively blocked but they can be avoided or have their impact lessened to a degree. TCM practitioners need to educate themselves on this urgent health and safety issue, even if it means learning new technical jargon and contradicting the public perception of safe-use technology. In this way, they have the chance to lead the health industry. PLEASE NOTE: While this course does cover safety-related topics, it is not accredited by NCCAOM under the "Safety Category", but rather the "AOM-BIO" category.
Learning Objectives
- Understand why the Insurance companies refuse to indemnify ‘Wi-Fi’ Injury in the clinic workplace and elsewhere.
- Identify the historical landmarks underpinning the formation of THERMAL-only EMF Safety Standards in different countries.
- Understand the current international disparities in EMF Safety Standards.
- Be informed of the scientific and medical concerns surrounding the NON-THERMAL biological effects of EMF radiation.
- Obtain a template for clinic ‘risk management’ in terms of avoidance or mitigation strategies for minimising EMF exposure.

with Peter Firebrace
See In Store See Entire Series *
* You can normally get a discount when you buy a series whole!
Overview
A detailed study of the liver and the lungs, the rising-falling, east-west axis of Chinese medicine. Linked with wood and metal, the power to burst out of the earth and to bury within the earth, this expressive-reflective dynamic is key to the fulfilment and attainment of our desires and dreams - or knowing when to stop at our limits. As sea of blood and master of qi, the liver and the lungs are linked to the hun and the po, the one ever searching to connect with the shen, the other ever vigilant to guard and maintain the body. We will study the Daoist, alchemical and medical aspects of the liver and the lungs from ancient texts and images and explore their application to clinical practice in modern times through studying key points on the liver, lung and other meridians such as Xuan Ji Jade Pivot (Ren 21), which restores fluidity of respiratory movement and Li Gou, Woodworm Canal (Liv 5) which restores normality to the sexual region.
Learning Objectives
- To restore the insights of the Neidan Inner Alchemy tradition to Chinese medicine.
- To present the teachings in the Neijingtu, Inner Landscape Map and the Xiuzhentu, Cultivating Authenticity Map.

Overview
Sex has long been used as a healing tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The erotic healing arts practices are older than acupuncture and, though little known by the Western world, are still in use today. Sexual expression, when done with a proper understanding of how energy moves, can enhance and quicken healing. Sex, even “great sex”, practiced without TCM healing techniques, can decrease health and make your process of getting well longer and more difficult. It can even interfere with the treatments that your acupuncturist is giving you, resulting in less improvement per session. In this 1 hour class, Dr. Felice Dunas will show you how, according to TCM theory, sex can support or inhibit health and healing. She will introduce simple practices that will enhance your pleasure while improving your health. Optimize your healing, no matter the nature of your illness or injury, with energy, or Qi (pronounced “chi”) cultivating sexual activities.
Learning Objectives
- To present the correlation between sex and health/disease according to TCM theory
- To introduce the sexual healing arts practices of TCM.
- To provide conversational tools for discussing this sensitive subject with patients.
- To give practical and theoretical info on how sex augments or detracts from the benefits of TCM treatment depending upon how it is practiced

Overview
In ancient Chinese medicine, the pictograph for sex is ‘Boiling Water.’ This implies that sexuality involves the element of Water, which symbolizes the desire for procreation, the element of Wood, for sexual drive and performance, the element of Fire for sexual excitement, and for orgasm. The Earth element contributes affection and sexual bonding, and the Metal element contributes fantasy and self-knowledge about sexual desires. In this 6-hour recorded workshop, participants will learn how to read the signs of sexuality that are apparent in Chinese Facial Diagnosis within the Five-Element framework. Diagnostically, the problems with sexual desire, sexual dysfunction, and signs of hormonal fluctuations will be discussed, in relation to facial features. Treatment plans will be advised physiologically and psycho-emotionally and from the perspective of ancient Daoist alchemy, presented in a practical and updated way. The webinar will include fertility, conception, pregnancy issues, and reproductive organ health signs as they show on the face.

Overview
Why Luo Mai? Luo Mai are a useful approach to clearing pathogenic factors that may not be responding well to other acupuncture techniques. According to Maciocia, most Blood stasis occurs in the connecting channels. These channels also allow us a way to release other pathogenic invaders that may be contributing to unresponsive chronic disease in our patients. Use of the Luo Mai is a way to shift your patient from a chronic disease state to a position of health. This is a review and discussion of use of the Luo vessels in veterinary acupuncture. We discuss the area covered by the individual Luo Channels. Then we discuss Luo point location, what Luo pathology looks like clinically, how to palpate and use these points, and clinical use as applied to veterinary acupuncture. This course is suitable for preparation for advanced veterinary certification exams, such as the FAAVA (Fellow of the American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture) exam. With completion of the course the veterinarian will understand how to palpate and locate these points, how to use these points clinically and why one would utilize a Luo vessel.
Learning Objectives
- The student will learn the importance of Luo Mai
- The student will learn the symptoms and signs of deep luo disease
- The student will learn the external pathogenic factors that affect Luo Mai
- The student will learn how the Luo Mai balances yin and yang in the limbs
- The student will learn the treatment of the deep Luo Channels
- The student will learn the point locations of Luo Mai

Classic Theory: When It Doesn't Work
with Janice Walton-Hadlock
See In Store See Entire Series *
* You can normally get a discount when you buy a series whole!
Overview
Some classic theory doesn't actually work. In school, we are taught this theory as if it works, but it never has and never will; an example of this is, 'Ear ringing is Kidney Yin Deficiency.' Treatments that Tonify Kidney Yin do not get rid of ear ringing. This course discusses why false theory is kept in the canon (hint: tradition) and also how to successfully treat some of the problems for which we've learned false theory. The opposite law is also true. We learn in school that certain health problems are incurable. Usually, this is because western medicine has deemed them incurable or because the false theory never works. In the presentation, examples are shared of 'incurable' problems that are actually quite easy to treat.
Learning Objectives
- The student will have a better understanding of the implications of Channel Theory from an electromagnetic, 21st-century perspective.
- The student will learn about cryptic aphorisms, mistranslations, and various error accumulations that have spanned over centuries.
- Depth will be added to an English-speaking practitioner's understanding of the vocabulary and phraseology of Chinese Medicine.

There are numerous TCM patterns that inhibit fertility, and most cases are directed at regulating problems of menstruation: irregularity, amenorrhea, menorrhagia, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Threatened miscarriage can be due to deficiency, heat or trauma, and appropriate formulas are discussed. Dr. Fratkin presents available herbal products and custom formulas, as well as a discussion of hormone physiology and the application of Western lab diagnosis.

Overview
Why would a practitioner benefit from learning the Heart Lock Theory? Our experiences are stored in our memories and reflexively in our bodies. Since the heart is the fulcrum of the energy flow through the body, it is easy to understand that experiences and events have a subtle effect on the way our hearts beat. The Heart Lock Theory can pinpoint the times in our life when we have suffered lasting damage, and provide clues to how these events are affecting our lives today. The Phytobiophysics Heart Lock Theory is a form of heart reflexology and is quite simply one of the most efficient methods of diagnosis. The theory is simple, and yet extremely profound. It quickly and clearly enables the practitioner to understand the complex chain of events in a patient’s life, which conspire to make them ill. The theory offers the ability to create a map, presenting a time frame of who, how, what, and when the patient has been damaged and an ability to track back to discover the origin of their disease. This knowledge enables you to help your patient recover from even some of the most serious conditions.
Learning Objectives
- The student will review cases and treatment protocols using flower formulas
- The student will learn about the planes of consciousness
- The student will learn about the Heart Lock Theory
- The student will learn the Heart Lock muscle test

* You can normally get a discount when you buy a series whole!
Overview
The course provides an introduction to some of the electromagnetic properties of fascia, and why western researchers are now suspecting that electrical flow in fascia corresponds with the “mysterious meridians of Chinese medicine.” This course covers: Conversion from one type of channel Qi to another, and the locations of these conversions; how channel Qi creates organs, and not the other way around; how we can learn to feel the differences between one channel and another; how different types of channel Qi might be responsible for the development of the various sensory brain cells; The importance of always bearing in mind the sequence of the channel Qi flow when diagnosing a health problem. The case study demonstrates using channel theory to track down the very unexpected, multiple, channel blockages causing the patient to have thirty years of chronic migraines, weakness on one side of her body, and why her knee, ankle, neck, and 6th rib on her right side were always “popping out of place.” None of the traditional Pattern diagnoses helped her condition - tongue and pulse showed weakness, but didn’t help show what the problem actually was; this course will illuminate the processes used to solve the issue.
Learning Objectives
- The student will learn about cryptic aphorisms, mistranslations, and various error accumulations that have spanned over centuries.
- Depth will be added to an English-speaking practitioner's understanding of the vocabulary and phraseology of Chinese Medicine.
- The student will have a better understanding of the implications of Channel Theory from an electromagnetic, 21st-century perspective.

Changing Times, Changing Vocabulary
with Janice Walton-Hadlock
See In Store See Entire Series *
* You can normally get a discount when you buy a series whole!
Overview
In ancient times, Chinese medical terms were often words about the weather. They were used literally and metaphorically. Words like Damp, Wind, Heat, Cold, Sun, were often used to explain how someone’s illness came about through overexposure to some climatic situation. If a problem was not, in fact, due to the weather, the climate words were used anyway. In these cases, the words were metaphors and euphemisms. In these cases, they don’t actually help with our understanding of what’s going on. These words are great for putting together a pattern diagnosis and choosing a treatment out of the pattern-code box, but they often do not help us understand what’s really going wrong, they don’t help us know what’s happening with the channel Qi, and they very, very often do NOT lead us to effective treatment. Today, very few of our patients are suffering from health problems associated with climatic excess. However, we still use the same old weather based words to codify the treatment patterns. Very often, this makes our diagnoses and treatment names misleading, not useful, or even stupid and ludicrous. This talk will explain how to work around the limitations and misunderstandings that come about through using these old terms, and suggesting some better ways to communicate with patients about the underlying causes of their problems.
Learning Objectives
- The student will learn about cryptic aphorisms, mistranslations, and various error accumulations that have spanned over centuries.
- Depth will be added to an English-speaking practitioner's understanding of the vocabulary and phraseology of Chinese Medicine.
