COVID has changed our lives. This course looks at how to treat this disease, through its various phases including preventing, treating the initial stages, and any long-haul signs and symptoms using both acupuncture and herbs, as well as other Chinese modalities.
This class will examine both pre-and pro-biotics and digestants and the physiological biochemistry supporting their use.
This course will look at various signs and symptoms of allergies from both a biomedical and Chinese medical point of view. We will discuss real world approaches to diagnosing and treating these conditions and will include a discussion of the major modalities of our medicine including both acupuncture and herbal interventions.
We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb's Herbs podcast. The first covers another Chinese formula, Ren Shen Bai Du San (Ginseng Powder to Overcome Pathogenic Influences), a formula that releases exterior disorders with interior deficiency. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Gao Ben (Chinese Lovage Root) from the warm, acrid herbs that release the exterior category.
The first class will cover amino acids and proteins and we will examine their biochemistry, physiology, and their role in health and disease.
This seminar will examine antivirals and antifungals.
This course will look at the pathology and various signs and symptoms of asthma from both a biomedical and Chinese medical point of view. We will discuss real world approaches to diagnosing and treating this condition.
We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb's Herbs podcast. The first covers another herb of the world, Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a very interesting herb with pain relieving properties. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Sang Ye (White Mulberry Leaf) from cool, acrid herbs that release the exterior category.
This class will cover metabolism including bioenergetics and sugar metabolism including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the citric acid cycle. We will examine their biochemistry, physiology, and their role in health and disease. After exploring this, we will look at supplements on the market.
This class will examine enzyme supplements and the physiological biochemistry supporting their use. We will examine them from a modern nutritional and chemical perspective while always having an eye on how they may explain some of the actions of Chinese medical herbs and vice versa.
