The True Medicine of Yangsheng

In this episode of "A Pebble in the Cosmic Pond," I am joined by my two dear friends Leo Lok and Z'ev Rosenberg. Both are experienced practitioners of Chinese medicine in the US with a strong classical foundation and shared commitment to not only practicing but also LIVING Chinese medicine. It is fascinating to me to hear how they arrive at their shared ideals from very different backgrounds, as a New York Jew (Z'ev) and a Malaysian Chinese Buddhist (Leo). As usual, today's conversation takes us in some unexpected directions as we talk about medicine as a living philosophy, both for practitioners and patients;the meaning of life and death;the embodied teachings of Zhuangzi to treat cancer; the human role in "Harmonizing Heaven and Earth"; medical practice in the context of multicultural diversity, environment pollution, plastic surgery, and much more; andthe role of the intestinal biome, constitutional types, and the importance of the Spleen-Stomach school.Additional InformationSubscribe to my newsletter!Imperial Tutor Mentorship by Dr. WilmsHappy Goat Productions (Dr. Wilms' website)Leo Lok's courses - All Courses - Voices of Our Medical AncestorsZ'ev Rosenberg's website氣血不通生腫瘤A Chinese presentation by Prof. Cai with Chinese subtitles: 癌症歸來的解藥穴道導引功法 (includes another miraculous healing case)Biography and Resume of Associate Professor Cai Biming 蔡璧名Yojokun: Life Lessons from a Samurai by Kaibara Ekken | GoodreadsSupport A Pebble in the Cosmic Pond
