Heart Shock/Trauma, Pulse Diagnosis and Daoist Medicine

  By , ,

I’m pleased to share below a video of our latest Zoom discussions on Heart Shock/Trauma. In it, I discuss my approach to understanding trauma, how to diagnose and strategize its treatments. I also share the importance of creating resonance with patients, negotiating diagnoses and tapping into the patient’s lived experiences. You will find discussions on Daoist medicine, talismans, the Vagus nerve from a Chinese medicine perspective, and much more. I hope you enjoy it.

Additionally, I am also happy to announce that I am offering telemedicine/telehealth treatments plans for Heart Shock/Trauma, Autoimmune and Chronic lllnesses.

The impacts of trauma are more far-reaching than most realize. It is a common latent trigger to on-going anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelm, fatigue, pain, autoimmune, and many other chronic illnesses. Not being local is no longer a barrier to receiving this guidance and treatment from Ross, a leading authority on trauma, chronic illness, and author of the above text. Via Zoom format, Ross will guide patients through a committed process to unwinding one of the most prevalent blocks to healing.

Included within this offering:

  • *1 hr initial consult and diagnostics via Zoom
  • *30 min monthly Zoom re-evaluations
  • *Herbal Formulas and Essential Oil blends
  • *Monthly Daoist Medicine talismans
  • *Meditation instruction and guidance
  • *Access to Ross’ teachings on Trauma (audio and video)
  • *Supplement recommendations
  • *Lifestyle support, including Dietary Therapy

The Importance of Narratives in Diagnosis and Treatment: Storytelling, and the Patient-Practitioner Relationship

  By
Here is my short discussion on the foundational principles in building trust and respect in doctor-patient interactions from the Shen-Hammer model, including pulse and other diagnostics, in framing narratives around patients’ experiences of symptoms and dis-ease, as well as on the topic of zhuyou 祝由 (incantatory medicine). <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/qxVfP-wlpgQ” title=”YouTube video player” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe>

Pulse Diagnosis

  By

Contemporary Oriental Medicine®

Contemporary Oriental Medicine® (COM), is a dynamic, integrated model of diagnosis and treatment based on the experience of master physicians John Shen OMD and Leon Hammer MD; it includes aspects of TCM and classical Chinese writings. COM revives forgotten patterns of Chinese Medicine, yet is an evolving Leonmedicine adapting to modern health issues. This methodology, developed by Dr Hammer, includes an in-depth diagnosis focused on Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis, and a distinctive approach to the patient’s history and experience of life. COM makes possible an individualized course of treatment by enabling the practitioner to delineate an individual from their disease. Finally, COM is a unique method of evaluating the patient’s condition, diagnosis, and intervention based on critical thinking. It leads to an organized hierarchy which identifies root causes, immediate interventions, referrals, life style counseling and treatment methods.

Classical Chinese Medicine

Classical Chinese Medicine relies on the understanding that health requires balance and the capacity to change and adapt, especially to the cycles and rhythms of nature. Failure to do so enables imbalance to set in and the ensuing disease process, which can never be separated from the uniqueness of the individual him/herself.  Classical Chinese Medicine adds exponential complexity and subtlety to the diagnoses, strategies and treatment options available.  It incorporates the full range of the meridian systems, including the sinew, divergent, luo, primary and eight extraordinary meridians.  Jeffrey

Classical Pulse Diagnosis, incorporating diagnostic criteria for each of the channel systems and organ system interrelationships and directionality, the virtues of the organ systems and personality type adds increased precision to diagnoses and treatment.
 

Moving Out Of The House That Fear Built: Zika

  By ,

by Ann Tomoko Rosen

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

On a recent trip to Costa Rica I discovered that fear has found its way to my “happy place” – or rather it infected it with Zika virus hysteria. This had been coming, I suppose – with the influx of ex-pats come modern conveniences and the comforts of home and I have felt the world creeping in little by little. Alas, the discomforts of home have also arrived… in the form of pandemic fears.
