Deepest Health Chinese Medicine Podcast : Interview with Dr. Arnaud Versluys LAc, PhD (Part 2 of 3)
I’m glad so many people enjoyed the first episode of this podcast interview with Dr. Arnaud Versluys LAc, PhD. The second part finds Dr. Versluys expanding on his definition of Classical Chinese medicine by discussing how one uses the Shang Han Lun in contemporary clinical practice, particularly concerning complex diseases typically seen in modern times. He also discusses the importance of specializing in a particular style of Chinese medicine and gives some advice to those of us seeking knowledge in this profession. I think you’ll really enjoy the information AND the audio quality - I think I finally got it right. :) Check it out at the bottom of this article!
If you missed the first part of the interview with Dr. Versluys you can find it here. For more background on the six conformations read the article linked here. I also encourage you to check out Dr. Versluys’ website, particularly the forums - a great place for discussing Canonical Chinese Medicine.
Dr. Versluys uses a few names that may be unfamiliar to listeners - I want to clarify these things for you. Li Dong Yuan is the author of The Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach (Pi Wei Lun)
and Jin Gui Yao Lue
I’ll release the final part of the interview early next week - it’s a short piece focusing specifically on the issue of herb substitution and the possibility of growing Chinese herbs in the United States. I hope you enjoy today’s podcast! As always, feel free to leave any comments - discussion is a great thing! :)

Deepest Health Chinese Medicine Podcast : Interview with Dr. Arnaud Versluys LAc, PhD (Part 1 of 3)
Happy Election day to all of my readers in the United States of America! I’ve cast my vote for Classical Chinese Medicine by publishing the first part of my podcast series with Dr. Arnaud Versluys. :D
This is a pretty brief piece where he answers the question, “What is Classical Chinese Medicine?” I think you’ll find some great information in there about the relationship of the Classical texts to the practice of medicine, the importance of careful study as well as some food for thought regarding the various schools of Chinese medicine. I’ll release the second part of the podcast before the end of the week and release the conclusion, a little vignette about herbal access and herb substitution next week.
Look also for my regular Saturday podcast this week - ok, so it hasn’t been very regular lately, but I hope we can get past that. ;) Enjoy the podcast!

Deepest Health Chinese Medicine Podcast : Episode 8 : Interview with Dr. Heiner Fruehauf
Hello everyone -
I’m happy to offer an interview for this edition of the podcast. Dr. Heiner Fruehauf, founding professor of the school of Classical Chinese Medicine at National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR, agreed to talk with Deepest Health readers about the nature of Classical Chinese Medicine. I’m incredibly grateful to Heiner for offering his time and wisdom - I think it will be a treat for all of you.
Dr. Fruehauf has been a great inspiration to me as I navigate the deep waters of this discipline, and he is beloved by students of Chinese medicine all over the world. He currently practices at his clinic in Corbett, OR as well as teaching classes at NCNM. He runs the incredible website, Classicalchinesemedicine.org, which is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about the roots of Chinese medicine. In fact, I have an exciting proposition for folks concerning a discounted membership to the site that I will talk about in a separate post sometime this coming week. Stay tuned. If you haven’t perused the great free content Heiner has put up on the site, do visit and check it out.
I want to mention that Dr. Fruehauf also recently launched a line of high quality, professional grade herbal capsules based on Classical principles for a variety of common conditions. Check out the site and see what you think. Every effort has been made to ensure that this is a high quality product. This product is unrivaled by anything on the market of which I am aware.
This podcast was split into two parts - the first of which you can access below. The second part will be released on Monday or Tuesday. Each section is around 30 minutes long. Enjoy!

I have a special treat for you. Deepest Health’s first podcast interview! I am honored to offer this interview of Abdallah B. Stickley talking about his practice and teaching of Contemporary Pulse Diagnosis, his work with Dr. Leon Hammer, his understanding of Classical Chinese Medicine and more. Near the end of the podcast, Abdallah and I discuss a number of topics that refer to our upcoming project here on Deepest Health.
As a first try at a long-distance podcast interview, we didn’t do a bad job - but I recognize that the recording quality doesn’t do the content justice! I do hope you enjoy it. Note: I have higher quality recording equipment on the way and hope you will stick with me while my skills and knowledge increase! Thanks again.
Note: I will not be doing my normal Friday summary podcast - I’m going to wait to do another one until I get my new sound equipment, which should arrive around August 13. I hope you will enjoy the new sound!
Some important links to sites and books discussed in the podcast:
- Abdallah’s site covering Chinese medicine, self-cultivation, Islam and much more : Even Unto China
