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 10 : End of term clinical reflections
Welcome to another Episode of the Deepest Health Podcast! In this episode, I discuss my reflections as I come to the end of my first term/quarter in clinic at NCNM. I reiterate the importance of memorization and excellent patient care, but then go in a philosophical direction on a couple of topics. First, I discuss my experience of being able to separate the disease from the person experiencing the disease. Second, I talk about the paradoxical reactions of some patients to treatment. I wrap up the podcast by a discussion of utilizing our many human gifts, referring often to the quintissential “Renaissance Man,” Leonardo da Vinci.
In the podcast, I reference a blog - but cannot remember the name of the blog, so cannot link to the post that inspired my da Vinci explorations. If you, for some strange reason, know what I’m talking about - let me know and I’ll link it. I also reference a book I’m currently reading about da Vinci and the practices one might take from his life. You can click on the link below to check it out.

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!
