'Pancreatitis - An Example of Wen Bing Disease in the Qi Level ' Webinar Presented by Dr Cynthia Lankenau

About the Webinar

Warm Disease Theory (Wen Bing Xue) is the most modern of the Chinese Classical theories. Warm disease Theory was developed as an independent system during Qing Dynasty; the last imperial dynasty 1600-1912. Until that time, The Shang Han Lun On Cold Damage was the classic text that dealt with the invasion of external cold pathogens. Although this theory explained an ability of cold pathogens to be transformed into warm pathogens, the theories of an invading warm pathogen had not been developed. As practitioners accumulated more experience with more cultivation and advanced herbal knowledge, theories specific to warm invasion were developed using the Shang Han Lun On Cold Damage as a framework to understand disease progression. In the Wen Bing theory, it was asserted that warm pathogens could enter the body through the mouth and nose. The theory also states that warm diseases develop and transmit through four aspects: Defense, Wei; Qi; Construction, Ying, and Blood; damp-heat disease forms from factors in Yang Ming and Tai Yin; and that Triple Heater pathology.

One of the traditional characteristics of Warm diseases is that they are caused by externally contracted warm heat pathogens including environmental heat stress. They can also be caused by damage from internal disorders; vaccine antigens injected directly into the deeper layers, injected pathogenic substances from insect bites; food toxins, pesticides; and internal emotions. Warm diseases can be infectious, epidemic, seasonal, or geographic.
