Unbelievable Treatments in Chinese Medicine History: Swallowed Nails, Faked Illnesses & Genius Cases with Michael Brown

From a child who swallowed a nail and was saved by an ingenious Ming dynasty formula, to patients faking dramatic blood-coughing episodes, this episode uncovers the wildest, most surprising stories from classical Chinese medicine texts.

Join host Marie Hopkinson and special guest Michael Brown — scholar, acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, and classical Chinese translator — as they dive into forgotten cases from Zhang Jingyue and other texts. Discussing the integration of acupuncture by famous herbalists, and the joy of returning to source texts to bring happiness into modern practice.

You'll also hear insights into classical literature, point combinations, the value of studying source texts, and why frequent treatment and deep study still matter in clinic today.

About Michael BrownMichael Brown is a Brisbane-based scholar-practitioner of Chinese Medicine with clinical experience since 2009. He completed Honours in Classical Chinese at the University of Queensland and is Head Lecturer at the Academy of Source-based Medicine, which he co-founded in 2022.

His passion lies in bridging classical literature with modern clinical practice.

Perfect for TCM students, acupuncture and herbal medicine practitioners, self-learners, and anyone fascinated by the depth and surprises of traditional Chinese medicine. Dive into the classics, challenge common assumptions, and get inspired to deepen your own study and practice.

Podcast Takeover Time! - I let two YouTube subscribers take over my channel and interview me about my journey in learning classical Chinese medicine and how it's different to TCM. Waleed & Yassin have been on a journey to discover what Classical Chinese medicine is and they are directly interested in studying the same system that I learned - ICEAM Ok, so Waleed & Yassin have their own YouTube channel : https://www.youtube.com/@UCzliuDMatV8zfMhl5_BctBg There are the full-length interviews with my teacher, Laurie Ayres and I would highly encourage you to check out their channel and give it a subscribe. It's hard when you first get started, and they literally launched their channel this week. Leave a comment letting them know Chinese medicine podcast sent you there :) Finally this is not a paid promotion by ICEAM or Waleed & Yassin's channel. I am doing this because i truly believe everything I've said in this interview and I hope that other TCM'ers and Chinese medicine enthusiasts may discover the wonderful world of Classical Chinese medicine as I have, so I am happy to promote this system /course and the endeavors of Waleed and Yassin through their investigation of (as they say) "old school Medicine" . :) ICEAM course info: 1) UK The course we are discussing is starting a new intake in the UK and in Australia. UK course details: Course info, details, price, signup: https://www.iceam.org/venue/iceam-utrecht/ Contact for the course: Laurie Ayres: lauriehayres@gmail.com or Lettie ldewit@utrecht.iceam.org The UK course will start on May 27th &2 8th They also have a few intro lectures before that, signup is via Lettie: 23rd Mar – An Introduction to the Classical Treatment of Menopausal Issues 5th Apr – Essential Aspects of Systematic Clinical Practice – And An Introduction to the Tian Lineage 19 Apr – An Introduction to the Treatment of Shao Yang & the San Jiao – Huang Qin & Chai Hu Herb Methods & Their Associated Formulas ____ 2) Australia : Australia Course details: there is a new course starting up in Australia, via Brisbane. I am hoping (not 100% sure i can get to it, but working on clearing my schedule :) to get myself to this new introductory event event and would be happy to connect with any subscribers who are thinking of starting up the course, feel free to contact me and we can catch up in Brisbane. study time & party time! https://www.iceam.org/live-course/brisbane-elementary-aspects-of-canonical-chinese-medicine/ CONTACT Marie Hopkinson (Clinic/Consultations): MARIE HOPKINSON, Registered Chinese Herbalist and Acupuncturist in Australia (AHPRA) Consultations for treatment (individual) please head to : http://www.bespokemedicine.net/patients Phone (AUS ONLY) 08 9275 1999 - for patients inquiries only.

Do you ever wonder how someone gets into the field of acupuncture and  Chinese medicine? 🤔 Well, a subscriber asked, and my patients often ask  me that very question and my story might just surprise you! I actually  had never even had acupuncture before I started studying it.   

Looking back it was kind of serendipitous.  Sometimes I think that   "Chinese Medicine chose me".    

I'm so grateful I found this amazing  medicine at 17 years old, and now I can't imagine doing anything else.

Navigating the world of further study for Herbalists and Chinese medicine practitioners can be a tough one - where to start? Hopefully  this episode will bring some clarity this for students of TCM, new  graduates of TCM, practitioners who've been in business a long time but searching for something better for their patients AND even to our  majority of listeners who are patients of those practitioners - give you  some insights into what dedicated practitioners like Collin go through  to become a respected teacher in the industry.   It was such a pleasure to interview fellow colleague, Collin Campbell.  Collin  has been practicing Chinese Medicine for 15 years, and has devoted his  career thus far to Classical Chinese medicine. In addition to his  private practice, as part of training to become a fellow of ICEAM,  Collin has seen over 1000 patients supervised by Dr Arnaud Versylus as  part of his fellowship training.  Some of the topics we discuss  are the differences between studying TCM and Classical Chinese Medicine,  the typical journey that many Chinese medicine practitioners take in  their quest to learn Classical systems of Chinese medicine. 
ICEAM Is a pulse-based system of herbal medicine, we discuss how this relates to what ICEAM practitioners are taught.  

This is not a paid promotion or sponsorship.

CONTACT DETAILS:  If you are interested in studying Chinese Medicine with ICEAM in this new program, call Collin on :  777 344 1275   Or email : ccampbell@newyork.iceam.org More info: https://www.iceam.org/venue/new-york/   COLIN CAMPBELL’S CLINIC: https://cliniccampbell.com/

Living in harmony with the seasons is a major feature of the health advice in the Nei Jing (Yellow Emperors classic of Internal Medicine), in this interview Marie discuss the relevance of this ancient wisdom in a modern world with Tyler Rowe.  Tyler Rowe is not only an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist but an expert on Wu Yun Liu Qi. He's got a great sense of humor and is incredibly down to earth. How do we tackle things like Air-conditioning and artificially induced climates? How do different cultures tell when seasons change and what should we do in response to this to lessen the chance of getting sick from the environment (Cold and flu like illness). 

This advice is super relevant for students of CM, patients of acupuncturists /CM and even practitioners themselves who are looking for relevant ways to interpret the Nei Jing and the seasonal advice. It was my absolute pleasure to record this interview and I hope you find this wisdom as useful as I do, for yourself and your family/ community.
