ENDOBIOGENIC MEDICINE TRAINING CYCLE 2008-2010

No. 2: Musculoskeletal Disorders

with Dr Jean-Claude Lapraz

Friday 13 June to Sunday 15 June 2008

Endobiogeny is an integrative approach to the philosophy and practice of

medicine, developed by the French doctors Christian Duraffourd and Jean-Claude

Lapraz over a lifetime of intensive medical practice. This approach centres on

the role of the endocrine system as the 'manager' of the complex relations

between the body's systems, organs, tissues and cells - a role that is of

fundamental importance in both the maintenance of health and the development of

disease. With more than 30 years' experience in this field, Duraffourd and

Lapraz have pioneered radical new strategies for dealing with a range of

disorders, from chronic debilitating afflictions like herpes to life-threatening

diseases like cancer. From the outset they employed principally plant-based

medicines, because, in Duraffourd's words, 'the multiplicity, ubiquity, and

polymorphous nature of the agents that disrupt normal physiological processes

are perfectly matched by the plurality and polymorphism of the pharmacological

activities of medicinal plants'. Because of both this therapeutic modality and

the emphasis on detailed observation and physical examination, this approach is

often described as 'clinical phytotherapy'.

This seminar is the second in a series of nine that will comprise a training

programme in endobiogenic medicine, running over three years. There will be an

examination at the end of each year (for those who wish to take it), with a

final exam at the end of the programme; successful candidates will be awarded a

certificate by the British Endobiogenic Medicine Society. Full details of the

programme, including Syllabus and Terms & Conditions, are available from

Phytotherapy Resources at the address below.

The training programme is open to medical herbalists, doctors, osteopaths, and

other appropriately qualified practitioners. Students of phytotherapy or

medicine (year 2+ only) are also welcome. Please note that this is not a

training course in herbal medicine: see 'Aims' in the Terms & Conditions.

This second seminar in the programme will focus on musculoskeletal physiology

and pathology, and the endobiogenic approach to conditions such as

osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, as well as the treatment of pain in

rheumatology. It will also include the clinical examination of a patient.

The seminar will be held at the Lecture Theatre, Furnival Building, Middlesex

University, 10 Highgate Hill, London N19 5NF, from 1 p.m. on Friday 13 June to

1 p.m. on Sunday 15 June 2008.
