Eastern School Of Acupuncture And Traditional Medicine* is pleased to welcome:
Course Topic: CHRONIC DISEASES – ASSESSMENT OF THEIR PROGRESSION IN CHINESE MEDICINE
Presenter: Jeffrey Yuen comes from two Daoist traditions and his training in Chinese medicine comes from Daoist priest Yu Wen and Gong Song-Liu. Yuen comes directly from a Daoist lineage and trained under the Daoist priest, Yuen, learning among other healing arts, Chinese herbal medicine. Yuen was invited by NCCAOM to be among a group of prominent practitioners, to write and review questions during the development of the NCCAOM herbal exam and served on their Finalization Committee.
Program Description: As Chinese medicine is often under the auspice of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), it is common that majority of patients utilizing Chinese medicine come with chronic and serious conditions seeking other viable options in their healthcare. Ranging from auto-immune to intractable diseases, Chinese medicine can offer traditional and fresh outlooks to these conditions in management and treatment. Crucial to understanding the prognosis of these illnesses is the assessment of the patients’ progress through Chinese medical diagnostics, especially the use of pulses and tongue. Through such evaluation, clinicians are able to determine how to adjust and modify their treatments accordingly. This seminar will examine the nature of chronicity, auto-immunity, and degeneration. Participants will learn to fine tune their diagnostic tools pertaining to the level of disease progression, possible latencies, and obstruction/blockage to the therapeutic process. In addition, the nuisances and subtleties of each individual which may sometimes skew the findings and confuse the diagnosis will be addressed.

JEFFREY YUEN SEMINAR - March 29 - 30, 2025
Register NowCourse Topic: Menarche to Menopause: A Genomic Approach to Gynecological Acupuncture
Presenter: Michael Beys, LAc, DACM, is a practitioner with over 20 years of experience in Chinese Medicine, having graduated from PCOM with degrees in both acupuncture and herbalism. After starting up shop in Staten Island and tending primarily to the fertility needs of his community there, Dr. Beys soon migrated to NJ to start a new chapter and to tend to his burgeoning family.
Just as his new family doubled from a trio to a healthy six over the years, so too did his Shrewsbury practice expand from the few New York loyalists who remained with him to the hundreds of Monmouth County area patients he now sees regularly there.
In 2019, Dr. Beys completed his Doctorate in Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine, which focused highly on genomic science and its potential therapeutic implications for treatment strategies. Enriched by the new knowledge, he was quick to implement it—using it both to update his approach but also to better understand why & how it worked. The efforts were well rewarded and now his current patients all reap the benefits from his efforts—helping more and more people heal every day & more and more women complete their journey into motherhood.
When he is not tending to his practice, Dr. Beys likes to enjoy the company of his family—the true treasure of his life. He involves them frequently with his other loves: fine food, science fiction and board games as well as taking them back enjoy the sights and sounds of their ancestral Greek lands.
Program Description: This course aims to introduce practitioners of acupuncture to the burgeoning field of genomic science and familiarize them with its potential groundbreaking cross sections with their art. Many explanations for the mechanisms of acupuncture abound and the genomic mechanism is a fledgling yet intriguing model which, if definitely confirmed with ongoing research, would revolutionize practitioner understanding of the medicine and greatly augment their treatment possibilities.
In this course, students will be introduced to this field and explore its connection with women’s health–particularly in regards to the treatment of fertility and perimenopausal afflictions. Students will be given both theory and praxis into this cutting edge field of biomedical acupuncture and eventually come to view women’s health in an entirely different light. Dr. Beys will take a variety of genomic adjacent topics from Sirtuins to Blue zones to the HPO (Hypothalamic - Pituitary - Ovarian) Axis and blend them seamlessly with common TCM concepts in a straightforward and everyday “street” manner.
