The key to healthy living today is empowerment through information and awareness of options and choices in available healthcare.

Workshop title: Releasing Pathogens with Nanjing Acupuncture
Abstract:
The Nanjing or Classic of Difficulties is a fundamental reference text for acupuncture practice. It is the model for many modern Japanese acupuncture traditions and also for Five Phases styles of acupuncture practice in the West. This workshop will explore the Nanjing's perceptions of pathogenic qi and the methods it offers for releasing them. Based on more than twenty years of experience in applying this model in practice, Volker will introduce participants to some simple but highly effective ways of dealing with simple, complex and hidden pathogens in everyday practice. Besides reading key passages from the source text, the seminar will focus on practical diagnostic techniques and use a case history approach to demonstrate the application of the model to clinical practice.
The official languages of the WFAS 2004 Gold Coast conference will be English and Chinese (Mandarin).
