Course Overview
This recorded webinar is the next best thing to spending time in the clinic with Professor Neil Gumenick. Videos of actual patients are presented prior to treatment. Next, Neil discusses his diagnostic findings: Causative Factor, physical, mental, and/or spiritual level of the disease; pulse diagnosis, and point selection, including explanations of the choice of points in the context of the Law of Five Elements; the pulse findings, the spiritual connotations of the points, the action performed on each point, and the rationale for the precise order is discussed. Post treatment videos follow, after which, Neil analyzes the changes in the patient, particularly from the viewpoint of the vocal sound and emotion. Neil will then share the post treatment pulse findings, and strategize the next several treatments, with full explanations of each point chosen. Different videos, patients, diagnoses, and treatment plans are presented in each session, offering a wide range of case studies, diagnoses, and strategies to be discussed and analyzed. Notes for download are provided.

Neil is always terrific. In my clinic, the patients tend to tell me their life's problems which are the key to helping them heal. Neil helped me to use the points in a new way for specific emotional traumas. I will use this a lot.

Neil Gumenick brings the Five Element practice to life, showing without a doubt the efficacy of this compassionate and deeply healing technique. He communicates clearly and gets to the heart of the matter by bringing us into his practice with his patients. The notes are succinct and complete. Neil's experience in the Five Elements practice is very much in evidence in this webinar, along with his wisdom and caring approach to his patients.

I attended a 5 Element school and this helped to deepen what I learned. It was wonderful to be able to be present in the treatment room. I also liked how Neil explained his point selection. I will be taking more of his classes! I've gained confidence in my ability as a 5 Element practitioner.
