Margaret Rogers Van Coops
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. ... Albert Einstein

S protocols like the “NADA” and “Battlefield” are widely used in North America and without a doubt are effective, especially when training many practitioners to treat a lot of patients in a short time. However, when it comes to a case of any chronic condition, it becomes very important to individualize the treatment. This can only be done by finding active points. There are a few ways to find active points. One is by palpating for tenderness and another is using a pointfinding device to detect a change in the electro-conductivity of the skin surface on the ear. Both of these methods require some guess work and lack the specificity and the elegance of the Vascular Autonomic Signal. With the subtle listening that is possible with the VAS, the practitioner can quickly find the most important points on each patient, and then proceed to ensure those points were successfully treated. This is a level of precise, individualized assessment and treatment unavailable in other ways. The VAS requires no device, only the thumb of the practitioner, which is trained to detect a sublte but clear change in the pulse of the patient when hovering over an active point. When we then introduce frequencies and substances as additional searching tools, we can narrow our search into any question we have about the patient’s system. The VAS gives practitioners a unique window into the Central Nervous System of the patient, making the treatment more effective and profound.

Background: Medical education has undergone major transformation along with the change in concept of health and disease. Objective: Increasing awareness, improving knowledge and acquiring skills of complementary medicine and integrative health for undergraduate medical students. Methods: Complementary medicine and integrative health module was introduced during the year 2016-2017, for fourth year medical students at Dar Al Uloom University, Riyadh, KSA. The Methods of teaching and learning include interactive lectures, seminars, practical sessions, assignments, field visits, simulation, learning by doing (hands on training), case studies, problem based learning and self-directed learning. Topics covered during the course include; Introduction and overview of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), Epidemiology of CAM practices, Characteristics and comparison of CAM vs. Conventional Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Research models in CAM, Evidence based CAM, Medical ethics of CAM, Frauds and misconceptions related to CAM practices and products, Health education and communication in CAM, Manipulative and body based practices, Biological-based practices, Mind-body medicine, Energy based therapies, Whole medical systems; Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Unani, Arabic or Hakim Medicine, Prophetic Medicine and Local traditional CAM therapies (Hijamah as a model), Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Naturopathy, Nutrition and food supplements, Apitherapy and Homeopathy. Assessment of the module: The course comprises two types of assessments; continuous and final assessment. Continuous assessments toke place throughout the course. They are mostly based on course work as follows; Seminar (10%), Assignments (10%), Field visit report (10%) and Mid-term exam (20%). A proportion of 50% were taken in the final assessment. A student who scored 60 or more deemed to have passed this course. Conclusion: The feedback received was most supportive of the module and appreciative of the teachers, the information provided and skills gained and the way in which it was delivered.

Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) is one of most common diseases in elderly. It may occur in about 5% of patients of PHN after acute phase of herpes zoster or zona. PHN has various course with variable and different pain in affected area which some of them may be intractable to be treated. According to previous experiences (during last 20 years), this report will try to present all practical manipulations in regard to PHN pain management.
