Gu Syndrome: The Rebirth of a Classical Concept to Treat Chronic Lyme Disease - 3 CEUs

In this course noted sinologist and herbalist Heiner Fruehauf, Ph.D., recounts how he was driven to his research library in the search of a strategy to help a number of puzzling patients who seemed to defy all the normal rules of Chinse herbal medicine. In the end he dove into the literature on Gu Syndrome, an ancient concept that seems to capture the idea of a chronic superparasitic infection similar to Chronic Lyme Disease. In studying some of the core formulas used over the years in the treatment of Gu cases, Heiner was able to tease out a number of new herb categories. He describes in this course the core herbs in each of these categories and how to use them to develop effective formulas for treating Gu and Chronic Lyme Disease.

The Clinical Application of Chinese Herbal Medicine in Chronic Lyme Treatment - 2 CEUs

Dr. Chris Metro has worked for well over ten years in the Hai Shan Clinic with Heiner Fruehauf, Ph.D. and knows better than any other practitioner what Heiner’s Gu Syndrome strategies look like when applied to the complications of Chronic Lyme Disease. In this course Dr. Metro reviews multiple cases to demonstrate how herbal formulas change over time to treat shifting symptoms. The viewer will learn how to weave together the strands of classic Gu Syndrome thinking alongside Wu Sheng’an's “descending the qi” focus on the lungs and Huo Shen Pai’s (Fire Spirit School of Herbal Medicine) focus on warming the yang. This brilliant dance of these schools of thought is the key to success with the herbal treatment of chronic Lyme disease.

The Treatment of Chronic Lyme Disease with Acupuncture and Non-Insertive Tools - 3 CEUs

Bob Quinn worked for a number of years with Heiner Fruehauf, Ph.D. in his Hai Shan Clinic, and in this time saw many chronic Lyme disease patients. Although he was already at that point in time a seasoned practitioner of Japanese Meridian Therapy, he soon learned that “normal” gentle acupuncture practices were in fact not gentle enough for most chronic Lyme patients. At that point in time he came into contact with some new teachers (such as Funamizu Takahiro and Iwashina Anryu) who could guide him into the world of non-insertive skills. In this important course he shares some of the key insights from his studies with these teachers.

The Treatment of Chronic Lyme Disease with Moxibustion - 3 CEUs

Chronic Lyme disease hollows out the yang. Gu Syndrome, of which modern chronic Lyme disease is an instance, is seen classically as the “ultimate yin evil,” which is to say that it is brutally cold and moist in nature, robbing the body of its yang qi. What could be more appropriate then than to treat chronic Lyme disease with moxa? In this course, Daniel Silver shares his insights into the use of direct and indirect moxa protocols in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease. He dives into a thorough study of which moxa points to use and how to treat them, as well as providing historical background on the usage of moxibustion.
