CleanDeepest Health Podcast 17 – Z’ev Rosenberg – Chinese medicine as a profession, past, present, future | I was excited to welcome Z'ev Rosenberg onto the podcast recently. Z'ev is a practitioner with over 30 years of experience in practice. He teaches and nurtures the Chinese herbal program at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, as well as working with K'an Herb Company & writing on his own blog. Visit those links to learn more about him. You should do so, because what I've said barely scratches the surface of what Z'ev offers the Chinese medicine profession. In this podcast, we mainly discussed the state & nature of the Chinese medicine profession. Z'ev helps us understand the early history of the profession in the states, how things have changed, what troubling and promising streams he sees coming together now. We cover topics like the community acupuncture model, how we should do integrative medicine, how to study Chinese medicine and more. Do yourself a favor and listen to this without delay. Some of the texts that Z'ev mentions (aff link) Shang han lun (Treatise on Cold Damage, Zhang Zhongjing) Jin gui yao lue (Pearls from the Golden Cabinet, Zhang Zhongjing) Nan jing (Classic of difficulties) Huang di nei jing su wen (Yellow Emperor's simple questions) Huang di nei jing ling shu (Yellow Emperor's divine pivot) He also references the Pacific Symposium, a West coast conference focused on Chinese medicine that comes up every year in the fall, coming again during the second week of November in 2012.

CleanDeepest Health Podcast 16 – Why bulk Chinese herbs? | One of my great passions is to practice Chinese herbalism as close as possible to the way it was practiced when the great texts of our medicine were compiled. I may not always practice that way, and I'm not so arrogant to think it's the only way, but for now it is my dearest wish and something that brings me (and my patients) great satisfaction. Because of this passion, I have always been keenly interested in the way individual herbs are prepared and the way those individual herbs are then offered to patients. One facet of that interest revolves around the difference between prescribing bulk herbs versus prescribing granules. Tim Rudowsky of Green Tea Apothecary (at Cookmyherbs.com) shares my passion and has turned it into a business! In this month's podcast, we dig into the issue and have a good deal of fun along the way. This podcast also features a new musical intro by one of my favorite new electronic music artists, Oleg Mokhov. Show notes 1. Green Tea Apothecary : www.cookmyherbs.com 2. Tim's great Classical Chinese herbalism manual is for sale online click here to view more details 3. Slate and Shell PDX, blog of a NCNM student and friend who made Wumei Wan 4. Nuherbs.com - herbal company Tim mentions as testing for pathogenic organisms 5. Book by Eric Brand, of Legendary Herbs, that Tim mentions.

CleanDeepest Health Podcast 15 – Does where Chinese herbs are grown really matter? | Another aspect to the more advanced Chinese herb learning method that I teach is diving into the huge amount of information concerning where herbs grow up. Using the metaphor of the growth and development of a human being, it is undeniable that where we grow up influences the people we end up becoming. The same is true of Chinese herbs! Topics covered 1. Why I love the herb method I teach 2. Why location matters when it comes to Chinese herbs 3. Small application of the herb learning method with one of your friends and mine, Chenpi - aurantium - citrus peel Back to podcast archive | 8 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanDeepest Health Podcast 13 – Interview with Mark Silver | When I contacted Mark Silver, founder of the Heart of Business and Portland local, I was hoping to entice him to come and speak to students at NCNM.

Should healthcare practitioners worry about the recession? 2. How you can get more patients without constantly explaining what we do 3. What Chinese medicine practitioners should watch out for when starting their own businesses 4. Technology & business : are they antithetical to holistic medicine?
