Addictions: A Meridian Approach
(Saturday & Sunday)

Addictions are pervasive in our culture, and include such diverse compulsive behaviors as addictions to drugs, alcohol, food, purging, sex, pornography, exercise, gambling, computers, self-mutilation, and shopping. Some forms of addictions entail physical dependence, a state in which the body relies on a substance for normal functioning, and goes through withdrawal symptoms when it is suddenly removed. Other forms of addictions involve psychological dependence, recurring obsessions about or compulsions to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences. A meridian approach to working with addictions can broaden and deepen the work of helping people overcome these distressing behaviors. In this two-day class, Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen will elucidate how the eight extraordinary meridians, the divergent channels, the luo-connecting vessels, the primary meridians, and the sinew channels can be used to treat various facets of a person’s body, mind, and spirit, and serve as invitations to overcome psychological and/or physical addictions.

The Addictions seminar will be held from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m., on Saturday & Sunday, October 18 - 19, 2008, in the 3rd Floor Conference Room (33-105), Center for the Health Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, 10833 Le Conte Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90095. Park at the Medical School & ask for directions to the Biomed Library. The auditorium is on the same hallway as the library, two floors above.

Interpreting Lab Data within the Paradigm of Chinese Medicine
(Friday & Monday)

In this seminar, Dr. Jeffrey Yuen will discuss the interpretation of standard laboratory test findings within the paradigm of Chinese medicine.

Among topics to be covered are red blood count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cell count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, platelet count, uric acid, BUN, creatinine, albumin, bilirubin, SGOT, & SGPT.
