Treating Lyme with Chinese Medicine: An Introduction with Brendan Kelly, LAc.

Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at 7:00 pm EST

A crucial understanding in treating Lyme Disease is that there are multiple stages to the condition. Using the Chinese Medicine disease progression theory Bian Hua (To Change and Transform), we will explore how one set of conditions leads to others and how understanding the progression of Lyme is essential to not only treating symptoms but also preventing the condition. 

In this free 1-hour introductory webinar presentation, Brendan Kelly, LAc will discuss the importance of The School of Heat (Wen Bing) theory in treating the inflammation introduced by a tick bite. We’ll also discuss how the Wai Ke (Neurological) Tradition can be used to both treat the symptoms and underlying cause of late-stage neurological Lyme, including tremors, seizures, and migraines.

Live Q&A will be held, where participants will be able to ask their questions directly to Brendan

Brendan KellyBrendan is an herbalist of 26 years with training in eastern and western healing traditions and has been practicing Chinese medicine full-time for 17 years.

In addition to working with people with a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional conditions, Brendan also has extensive experience treating all stages of Lyme, from initial tick bite through late state neurological symptoms. He has treated several hundred patients with Lyme to date with consistently very good results.

He teaches about various aspects of Chinese medicine and western herbal medicine at schools, universities, educational centers, and conferences around the US and Europe. He writes and teaches about the connection between personal, societal, and environmental well-being, including the connection between climate change and Chinese medical thought and diagnosis. North Atlantic Books published his first book The Yin and Yang of Climate Crisis: Healing Personal, Cultural and Ecological Imbalance with Chinese Medicine, which uses the lens of Chinese medicine to look at the underlying causes of our warming planet.

Brendan is a long-time student and practitioner of Tai Chi Ch’uan, having studied with Wolfe Lowenthal weekly for 10 years. He was authorized to teach by Wolfe, who was a senior student of Cheng Man Ch’ing, the creator of the Yang-style short form. He was the founder and primary instructor of an outdoor-based western herbal school in Southern Vermont and teaches about harvesting and using wild plants for food and medicine, and herbal medicine preparation in a wide variety of settings. For the past 17 years, he has worked clinically integrating the potency of local, western medicinal plants with the depth of the Chinese diagnostic tradition.
