Advanced TCVM Diagnostic Techniques for Canine and Equine Patients

Camvet Akupunktur Seminar mit Dr. Bruce Ferguson vom 27. bis 29. Juni 2014

In this seminar we will review in detail the “Four Questions”: Looking, Hearing, Asking and Touching. These Four Questions generate at least 31 separate TCVM diagnostic information data sets. Further, we will note the correlations between Western Biomedical diagnostic test results and TCVM Patterns.

Lastly and most importantly, we will demonstrate the Four Questions data collection on both canine and equine patients.

From these data, we will then generate treatment strategies for the patients. You will also see my use of powerful metacarpal and metatarsal points in canids and similar fetlock points in equids. Some of these points will also be combined in novel pairings that give each treatment greater balance.

Further, we are fortunate to have a recently translated Annotated Yuan Heng’s Classical Collection on the Treatment of Equine Diseases.

From this classical and important text, we will derive information to help us see Equine diseases even more clearly through the eyes of the brilliant early practitioners of TCVM. Get ready for an interesting, moderate paced, practical and results-oriented weekend!
