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.

This course is a wonderful window into diagnosis and treatment according to Five Element Acupuncture. It is a good introduction for newer practitioners and a great review for long term practitioners.

Neil Gumenick speaks my language. He gives you the visuals necessary to remember easily what he has imparted and I can remember it in a deep level. I always think that it would be nice just to plug yourself into these kinds of teachers and download their years of experience and knowledge. Neil freely lets you access this and gives so much of his wisdom and caring to help patients, his and mine and others Thank you!

Going deeper into the 5 Element System, Prof. Gumenick illuminates some of the finer details of sensing the secondary causative factor. In doing so, we learn more about the primary CF and the other intricacies of this compassionate form of treatment.

I am so very grateful for Dr. Gumenick to share his in-depth wisdom of the five elements.

This course resonated with me because the instructor gave clear visual images that gave me a better understanding of the Spirit of the points. Making their use easier to recall. So much substance.
