Abstract

Tibetan medicine has been practiced for more than 1,500 years and is grounded in a longstanding system of medical theory and practice. Our previous work demonstrated that Tibetan medical theories can be considered at both the microscopic, molecular level and the macroscopic, whole-body level, particularly in relation to central nervous system myelin lipids and multiple sclerosis. This research provided a validation of Tibetan medical theories at the microscopic level. Our current work extends these investigations to additional neurological disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, as well as cancer and infertility. In this presentation, we will share case studies from each of these chronic conditions and discuss our integrative medical approach. The presentation will conclude with an exploration of Tibetan perspectives on death and dying, including a review of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, also known as the Great Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between. We will examine the five elements and their imbalances in chronic illness, as well as the process of their dissolution during the dying process.
