Course Overview
A 57-year-old woman come into the clinic complaining of waking in the night needing to pee; she also has a diagnosis of asthma. Patients often present with multiple symptoms. Dr. Keown discusses his strategies for history taking, formulating a diagnosis, making a plan, and then treating. Dr. Keowns style of practice is heavily influenced by Dr. Wang Ju-Yi and his channel palpation method. He considers himself a student of this method and focuses on exploring peoples experience and knowledge of channel palpation. Finally, in the last part of this talk, he discusses how Western medicine strengthens our understanding of Chinese medicine, thereby giving practitioners new ways to explain TCM to their patient population.

Literally the best demonstration of what channels are and how they relate to the organs that I have ever seen. Really makes it click. Very much appreciate the western overlap in relation to Chinese Medicine excellent information and incredibly insightful. Absolutely brilliant and so very helpful!

Excellent course that uses the Western medical lens to view, understand and support ancient TCM principles. Cutting edge research and explanation of TCM channels & organs. Extremely clarifying. Bravo!

some may bristle at liking "Western Medicine" hormones to how the Chinese described the function of the organs, but the importance and similarity of this cannot be understated in my opinion. This is one of the simplest, most useful descriptions of how embryology and hormones describe our medicine. Allows for expansive thinking of our medicine, and ultimately can be beneficial for us.

This kind of information should be presented in TCM schools. Its the kind of thing that can make or break a new students understanding of Chinese medicine. As Keown said in the lecture, Chinese medicine has it all, its just a matter of translation, and things arent always translated well in school, via textbooks and/or via the instructors. This way of explaining things and of relating the Chinese organs and channels to western physiology and anatomy while being respectful of Chinese theories, has the potential to create a much deeper understanding of Chinese medicine as a whole. Its a very inspiring course and gives new life to the Chinese organs and channels I thought I knew all too well, but I really had no clue!

Daniel has the unique position of working with the knowledge of both Western and Chinese medicine, as an ED Dr, and speaks with great passion, igniting and renewing interest in our ancient medicine and marrying it with Western medicine in a way that holds our interest and concentration.

An interesting overview of how fascia exists within the body, how that relates to Chinese medicine, and an additional overview of the commonalities between TCM and biomedicine, including some direct translations.
