NYCTCM Continuing Education for Acupuncturists

Integrative Treatment for Breast Cancer - Clinical Case Study
Speaker: Dr. Ruan Jin Zhao

Date & Time: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, Sat, 11/13/2011

NCCAOM PDA Points :3

Location: New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mineola, NY

This lecture is focused on real cases treated by lecturer personally. The clinical information, laboratory data and herbal medicine used are true and real without any modification. The lecturer expects participants can benefit in making a clear multiple dimensional treatment plan for the newly diagnosis of breast cancer patient, can effectively use herbal medicine and acupuncture concurrently with chemotherapy, and radiation therapy to improve the clinical outcome. As well as being capable in dealing with the side effect from the rough treatment.

This will be more like a workshop hand by hand to avoid a superficial theoretical discussion. Due to chemotherapy and other medication being used intensively, Chinese herbal medicine and food supplements are limited in treating cancer patients clinically. The acupuncture treatment became the main stream therapeutic modality for cancer patients to discuss and educate our colleagues how to maximize the clinical benefit for cancer patients through acupuncture, and how to efficiently use acupuncture treatment in integrative oncology practice. For most acupuncturists, there is no problem in Acupoint selection, but the needling techniques are not used properly or not enough.

So genius classic needling manipulation will be reinforced in this lecture, because the essence of acupuncture is focused on Acupoint selection and needling technique, which generates varied physical stimulation/vibration to induce the cascade chem! ical rea ction. Attendants will be rewarded with plentiful knowledge in Electro-therapy (micro-electricity current) and Plum blossom needling.

Chemical Additive in Your Herbs. To Sulfur or Not to Sulfur

When purchasing dried fruit, 9 out of 10 people will pick the bag that looks prettier than the one that has fruit turned brown. Go beyond the beautiful color because that beautiful color is deceiving. It may even carry toxins. Sulfur dioxide is used to prevent discoloration in dried fruit but it's carries some significant side effects. The most common reactions are diarrhea, allergies, headaches and asthma. Now what about the herbs you buy? Do your herbs contain sulfur dioxide (SD) and does SD effect the fundamental quality of the herbs? Chinese herbs are derived from natural plant and mineral products. Like any natural product, they are vulnerable to mold and insect infestation. To control the decay and mold many herbal products and natural supplements are sprayed with sulfur based fumigation. This process kills bacteria, mold, insects and may also be used for bleaching/ cleaning raw herbs. But can it change the chemical constituents of a particular herb? In some cases we know fo...

Renaming Sleep Aids Ambien Now Called Intermezzo

FDA just approved a subligual Ambien for "insomnia in the middle of the night followed by difficulty returning to sleep" It has taken a few years, but the FDA has now approved Intermezzo, a low dose drug with the same active ingredient as Ambien. Zolpidem tartrate will now be in a sublingual tablet form rather than the sleeping pill, Ambien. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, said Shakespeare and in this case Intermezzo is still Ambien and the side-effects are the same. For people who have difficulty staying asleep and can't fall back to sleep we recommend an herbal sleep aid that has been used for centuries, safely. If you are looking for a completely safe and natural sleep aid that can be taken in the middle of the night and works without side-effects you owe it to yourself to try Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine.
