Course Overview

Some classic theory doesnt 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 weve 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.
