Integrative TCM Guide: Pathology – Interpreting Blood Tests into a Chinese Medicine Framework, written by the industry’s emerging expert on the topic, is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of analysing blood test results in a Chinese medicine framework. The clinically relevant information in this book is described in a level of detail never previously seen in an English language textbook.
The information contained in this book will assist the reader to interpret blood test results into a Chinese medicine framework. Laid out in an easy to read, concise format, each test is analysed and described in detail. This is an invaluable resource for all Chinese Medicine Practitioners!
Key Information Covered:
- Both ideal and absence of disease reference ranges
- What each test is investigating and the circumstances under which it might be tested
- Conventional medicine understanding of the compound being tested, and health conditions associated with abnormal levels
- Functional medicine viewpoint of the compound being tested and the physiological functions that are disrupted with abnormal or non-ideal test results
- Chinese medicine interpretation according to the signs and symptoms of disharmony, and using the functional medicine approach to forge the link between the two paradigms.
Clinical outcomes after implementing this information:
- Objectively refine, review and measure the effectiveness of their treatment approach
- Use reference ranges that show a deviation from optimal health rather than only the presence or lack of disease
- Know the patterns of disharmony associated with sub-optimal blood test results and be able to implement treatments with confidence
About the Author:
Clare Pyers is a Chinese medicine practitioner based in Melbourne, has been in full time practice since 2005. Prior to studying Chinese medicine, Clare studied Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering. The result of combining these two very different career paths gives Clare a very practical, scientific approach that she integrates seamlessly with her heart centred and soul focused style of clinical practice.
Translating between Chinese medicine and the language of modern, scientific language is now something that has become second nature for Clare, and her eloquent explanations of this complex topic have been highly regarded by audiences at industry events such as WFAS and AACMAC.
