Dr Arnaud Versluys, PhD, MD (China), LAc is one of the very few Western scholars to have received his full medical training in China. He spent over ten years at the Chinese medical universities of Wuhan, Beijing and Chengdu, where he consecutively pursued his Bachelor, Master and Doctor Degrees in Chinese medicine and acupuncture. He was also fortunate to be able to receive a traditional lineage training outside the university system, with his Shanghan Jingui master – Dr. Zeng Rongxiu.

Dr. Versluys is an herbalist and acupuncturist specialized in the classics of the oriental medical doctrine while in clinic concentrates on internal medicine with an emphasis on auto-immune diseases and rheumatology.

Dr. Versluys worked as assistant-professor and clinical supervisor at the Chinese medicine program at NCNM from 2003 to 2008. He is an internationally renowned lecturer often teaching in Europe, Canada and Australia. He has published many articles on acupuncture and botanical medicine and has completed a book on the science of herbal prescriptions.

In clinic, Arnaud specializes in internal medicine but with focus on immunology and rheumatology, including Crohn’s disease, Auto-immune Hepatitis, Scleroderma, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Lupus, Raynaud’s, etc. He has also worked extensively on suspected auto-immune disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome and interstitial cystitis.

Arnaud’s scholastic passion lays in the Han-dynasty classics of the Treatise on Cold Damage – Shanghan Lun, the Essentials of the Golden Cabinet – Jingui Yaolue, the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic – Huangdi Neijing and the Divine Husbandman’s Classic of Materia Medica – Shennong Bencao Jing. He teaches extensively in the international community and he has lectured in China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Canada and the US. Several of his publications on Chinese medicine have been published in these countries.

He runs a private practice in Portland, Oregon, USA and can be reached at aversluys@iceam.org

Clinical Days: Participants are encouraged to propose patients for the clinical days. The patient must expect to be examined by Dr. Versluys in front of the class. They will then have their pulses and abdomen palpated by as many of the class as is appropriate and possible. The prescription will be made by Arnaud and their case discussed in class. They will be expected to pay the usual consultation fee of £40 to Dr Versluys at the time of their appointment – they are reminded that they will also have to pay for their herbs.

Proposals for patients should be made by the practitioner to Laurie Ayres via email at layres@london.iceam.org with a brief description of the case. The choice of who is seen is based on teaching considerations. ICEAM’s decision of who is seen is final, but we will try and respond to the patients need. The practitioner remains responsible for the patients treatment and follow-up.

It is regretted that because of his busy schedule Dr Versluys cannot see private patients outside the class during his stay in England.
