The full training consists of a total of four levels (120 hrs) and at least 30 hours of clinical practice and observation.
Introduction (Level 1)
Includes a short history of Dr Than Van Le and information on
why and how to study, what to study, what we expect from you and
what you can expect from us.
ABET Techniques (Level
1 + 2)
How-to-do the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, the Tibetan Breathing, Magnet
therapy, Piezo therapy,
Meridian Therapy (=acupuncture without needles), Dr Le’s
Craneo-Sacral Release Technique and Friction Test.
Acu-points & Meridians (Level 1
+ 2 + 3)
How is the energy-flow in the body and how can it be influenced
to achieve a reliable therapeutic result? Knowledge of what Acupuncture
Points are, how they are arranged on the body, and how the energy
flows within the body is the key to becoming an effective practitioner.
There are some 400 hundred acupoints spread over fourteen meridians.
We cover those acupoints that are significant to the Asian Bio-Energetics
Therapy. Methods of locating these points are discussed and practiced.
Some special characteristics and functions of individual points
are studied.
Acupoint Selection (Level 1 + 2 + 3)
The result of all the above knowledge is what acupuncture is all
about. Your knowledge of anatomy, oriental pathology and physiology,
will enable you to choose certain points which will cause a beneficial
change.
Oriental Philosophies (Level 3)
The study of the very concept of life itself forms the basis of
this oriental healing technique.
An understanding of these principles and their intricate inter-relationships
is necessary for a student to comprehend the A B E T methodologies
of diagnosis and treatment.
Chinese Pathology (Level 3)
The study of diseased states of the body. This involves the recognition
of specific patterns of disease which the patient displays and
which result from specific causes.
These causes may be of internal origin, external origin or due
to constitutional weaknesses, trauma, overusage, abnormal usage
or wrong treatments. When patterns are recognised, the cause is
more easily identified and rectified.
Anatomy (Level 1 + 3)
We study the basic structure of the body in oriental medicine
which is different from the western view.
We think that it is also important that you understand the major
structural systems of the body and their relationships to each
other.
Moxibustion introduction and practice
(Level 4)
Moxibustion treats and prevents imbalances (diseases) by applying
heat to acupoints or certain locations of the body which have
been taught in the previous levels.
Clinical Practice (Level 1+2+3+4)
The study of the diagnosis and treatment of the commonly encountered
disorders.
For each condition the most suitable method of point selection
will be chosen and the most effective treatment formula will be
given. Methods of application and specific techniques to be used
first will be decided and treatments discussed. Full training
requires at least 30 hours of clinical practice +observation.
Duration : actually, the ideal study
time is about 2 months plus a period for clinical observation
and practice, but 6 to 8 weeks are possible for hardworking students
and very small classes (of 2 to 6 students).
Tuition fees : are on a minimum donation basis.
We want to keep the fees low because we do not want to limit participants but this donation contributes substantially to our charity activities.
ABET Class Fees are payable in advance and are not refundable.
They cover a training period of approx. 2 months and include transport, lunches and refreshments during practice visits.
They also include watching Dr Le’s VDO teachings because some of that information is complementary to our intensive training. These VDO’s are available on VCD’s and DVD’s to graduate students only.
Accommodation is not included in your donation but quality guesthouses and hotels are easily available in Chiangmai at very reasonable cost (between 8 and 40 US$).
