Course Overview
Please Note: This is an Audio Course.

In Part One, Bob gives an overview of Chinese medical theories around sleep and outlines the key Chinese medical mechanisms of insomnia. Acupuncture and Chinese medicinal protocols are discussed for the most commonly seen patterns. Bob also discusses a pattern that's not usually listed in beginner's textbooks even though it's commonly seen in real-life clinical practice.

Part Two details concerns around sleep apnea, a common and potentially life-threatening condition associated with increased incidence of hypertension and heart disease. Unfortunately, Western medical treatments for this condition are uncomfortable and problematic. Happily, Chinese medicine is capable of treating this condition relatively cheaply and easily. Bob discusses the Chinese medical pattern discrimination of sleep apnea and its treatment via acupuncture and Chinese herbs. This is one area where Chinese medicine can truly treat preventatively.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
