Abstract:
All treatments we producing are start from diagnosing and pathology differentiation, following up by designing of treatment plan and then therapeutic methods. We know what is necessary to apply in variety of disorders and when it comes to the session, we have a lot of tools like: points selection methods and herbal combinations or techniques to use for stimulation etc. However there are” missing link” in many cases of treatment not being utilized – variation of different methods approaching of the points; needling, burning, pressure, plod releasing and positioning. This is what I want to punctuate today, what is the best to do out of Acupuncture- Zhen, Moxibustion- Jiu, Bloodletting- Fang Xie, Cupping- Ba guan, Finger pressure- Zhen fa, Setting manipulation- Zheng gu in time of therapy and haw combine all above methods together.
Basically we have to major approach to the body in TCM - stimulation and sedation, so what we can do is more or less should fall in those two effects. Also two substances we are dealing with are Blood and Qi, in traditional way, also have preferred effects to be applying. And last, but not least is place or subject where results expected to be. From all those points we shell look at selection of our intervention to maximize treatment success.

Keynote: Acupuncture controversy: false or true? observation on studying of the applications in musculaskeleton disorders: Observation on studying of the applications in muscula-skeleton disorders
Time : 11:10-12:00
Biography:
Dr. Serg Mezhov, has been practicing different modalities Eastern as well Western medicine from 1979 back in Soviet Union until it’s end and then up till now in Melbourne, Australia. He is disciple of Lee family acupuncture tradition and has major interest in Spinal column disorders.
Abstract:
This a study of development in research based on observation ICMART, WFAS, ICTAM and ISRPRM materials for the period from1975 to 2013. Few things were triggered out to look at all this matter like and controversial advice on combination of Acupuncture treatment and Manipulative therapies( WFAS 2001, ICTAM 2013), as well as depth of needle inserting in case of Muscular-skeleton cases of problems( WFAS 2000, ICTAM 2013) as a most standing out. Also previous experience of different physiological explanations of phenomena of Acupuncture and trails of Physiological- anatomical systematization on theory of Acupuncture and TCM, by scientific research has been done in time to prove its reasoning, and finally substitution of the old methods (Vogralick 1976), like Moxa use and Finger pressure with new technology based introductions (Laser, Electro-magnetic etc) Relevantly, the amount of studies on Acupuncture itself, is much bigger then on Tui- Na or Moxibuction or any other type of point approach to the body.
Through observation of Congresses and Conferences in all those years we can clear see tendency to research more detailed process of micro-structures of the tissue then look at the levels of general body reaction. From simply empirical observation, as it was when Point therapy was formed, we intend to see micro- changes with out conclusion of whole picture of the physiological transitions of the body (ISPRM 2007).First of all let’s take the fact of non specific description of the point itself. In many studies we can see that there are many tissues can be found in the point structure, by certain locations, as they can be completely missing in different cases of the point locations. Secondly, combination of the methods to work on the points are greatly ignored or missed to favor one approach of the study. Therefore, we can also observe many developments in trying to explain different anatomical platforms which are the treatments going to be based on. There were trials to explain phenomena of Acupuncture based on Nerve System of the body( Vogralick 1976), then skin electricity conduct system ( WFAS 2000), then bioelectricity of the human body as whole(WFAS 2007), photo genesis of the cell and so on. None of that trails yet succeed to explain fully or substitute Ancient Chinese system of explanation theory of TCM. That is where we have to remember initial formation of this Theory and get to few conclusions for further study reference.

Session Introduction
Paul Turner
RMIT University, Australia
Title: Holism in Osteopathy – Bridging the gap between concept and practice: A grounded theory study
Biography:
Paul Turner has completed his Bachelor of Applied Science in Osteopathy and Bachelor of Health Science from RMIT University, Australia. He has been involved with education in manual therapies and conducting research exploring this relationship as well as to develop a theoretical framework model which helps bridge a perceived gap between holistic concept and its practical implementation.
Abstract:
Paul Turner presents some of the results of his research from a grounded theory study interviewing experienced osteopathic practitioners about their views on biomedical and holistic approaches as well as the relationship between any individual practitioners’ concept of holism and its practical implementation. This study also explored the role of education played in the understanding and practice of holism. These issues were important to investigate in order to develop a theoretical framework of holism which adequately explained these relationships and to provide a model of practice which may give insight into understanding, assessing and treating patients with chronic health issues. The theoretical framework identifies important relationships, not only between the tissues causing symptoms and the symptoms themselves but also between the tissues causing symptoms and other areas/components of the whole person (physical, energetic, emotional, mental, nutritional, environmental or other) which are potentially involved and which are collectively contributing to the entire ‘pattern of dysfunction’ within any individual patient, as well as how to recognize these other areas from clinical assessment. It is hoped that the theoretical framework of holism presented will provide a platform for future research to improve education (i.e., achieve a balance between holistic and biomedical elements) and health outcomes, particularly in the area of chronic health. Although participants were osteopaths and because the biomedical education and holistic principles form the basis of many health professions, the framework discussed has theoretical and practical implications applicable to many health professionals.

Abstract:
The world is going through a paradigm shift in its understanding of natural health sciences. The advances in technology such as “Google” easily allow the public to have full access to all forms of different health modalities. With new technological developments, we can analyze how illnesses form at a cellular level. This has revolutionized health sciences, so people are living longer, but unfortunately at the same time are not escaping chronic illnesses and pain, so whilst people live longer they are not necessarily living well. Dr. Davis (Director of the Cancer research unit and Founder of the Environmental Health Trust) noted in a recent talk, how the exposure to increased radioactive waves caused by new technologies was a contributing factor to people suffering from cancers, nervous disorders, memory loss and lack of concentration. Although people are mindful of the adverse effects of these rays, and how they may affect their health, there still seems to be no proven connection to these causes and we have no further advancement in prevention against them. I believe that the potential solution to these affects is to follow fundamental laws of nature and look at the eastern medical system. People are awakening to the responsibility of their own health and seek to be in charge in a partnership with their chosen healthcare professional. They are reaching more to the practices of natural therapy and ancient wisdom. In principle, practitioners of natural sciences can address a client’s family history, genetic factors, lifestyle, diet and social circumstances to land on the “core” health issue. This is clearly lacking in modern medicine as most often drugs are given to treat the discomfort but not to correct the cause. This in turn creates a loop of visits to Doctors with no real relief or sense of empowerment in the direction of one’s own wellbeing. As a natural health Ayurvedic practitioner, I focus on the root cause by working case to case to create physical, psychological and spiritual harmony in the human body. Ayurveda does this by improving and strengthening the immune system, reducing stress and cleansing the body, allowing it to expel the breeding ground for disease.
Sharon Tal
Melbourne Kinesiology and Detox Centre, Australia
Title: How to move beyond survive to thrive
Biography:
Sharon Tal is a Kinesiologist, Counselor and Reiki Master with over 20 years’ experience in the wellness industry. She helps people in the physical, mental and emotional level to help bring clarity, wellness, focus and joy back into their everyday life.
Abstract:
In this presentation, the author talks on how to move beyond survive to thrive including following topics: The benefits of kinesiology and muscle testing in clearing emotional traumas; amygdala and the fight, flight and freeze response of the body; the importance of magnesium and other tips in recovering adrenal fatigue, as well as enabling better hydration into the cells. Kinesiology is a modality based on traditional Chinese medicine and chiropractic. There are a wide range of tools kinesiologists use to measure the level of stress a client is experiencing and then relieving the stress so that one can live optimally. Kinesiology will benefit a person’s wellness overall and will lead to a more balanced life. Muscle testing provides a bio-feedback system of the muscles in the body. In times of stress and trauma, the body stimulates the adrenal gland that activates a meridian that is called the triple warmer. This in turn affects the adrenal and thyroid glands and the temperature regulation in the body, resulting in extreme stress, tiredness, dread, terror etc. As the adrenal glands are sitting physically above the kidneys, it can create and cause dehydration. Utilizing magnesium will calm the nervous system and will ultimately relax the muscles that will enable a body recovery into normal function. The author help empower you, beyond survive, to thrive via meditations, tips and tools which have been developed during her 20 years of practice.
