Two day post-conference course with: Mazin Al-Khafaji
Treating Auto-Immune Diseases with Chinese Medicine
Explore Chinese medicine’s approach to auto-immune diseases in general, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and auto-immune thyroiditis in particular. In addition to highlighting diagnosis, pattern differentiation, and treatment protocols, Mazin will present examples and cases from his own practice and cover formula composition and evolution, not only at acute stages, but crucially, to also achieve long-term stability in the immune system.
Day 1 will cover IBD, including both ulcerative colitis & Crohn’s disease. The number of sufferers of IBD has skyrocketed over the past 40 years; the prevalence of ulcerative colitis in the US has increased by an astonishing 125% in the past 9 years alone. Chinese medicine, properly applied, has been shown to have dramatic benefits, not only at rapidly controlling the acute phases of these troubling diseases, but significantly increasing remission rates without the need to resort to long-term immunosuppression, the standard biomedicine approach.
Day 2 will focus on auto-immune thyroiditis. Both overactive and underactive thyroiditis, Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s disease respectively, by far the most common forms of thyroiditis seen in practice, will be covered in depth. Diagnose and treat these two common diseases from the perspective of Chinese medicine, along with case examples from Mazin’s practice.
