7 VETERINARY ACUPUNCTURE
On 25 January 2018 the next Veterinary Acupuncture course starts in the Netherlands, organized by Healthcare-Academy Den Hoek.
This course is accredited by IVAS (International Veterinary Acupuncture Society) and is organized in partnership with the Dutch IVAS affiliate, the SNVA (Samenwerkende Nederlandse Veterinaire Acupuncturisten). This course is also accredited by the Dutch CPD (Collectief Praktiserende Dierenartsen) with 284 points.
We have an unique setup within Europe: Since acupuncture should be a ‘hands on’ education, all lectures are offered on-site. This allows students to learn and understand acupuncture in the most personal interactive way. In addition we offer recorded lectures, webinars and a virtual online classroom set up by IVAS (via Moodle) as a teaching and study aid. The course offers you opportunity to build bonds with like-minded colleagues and you receive access to all of the resources on the IVAS website. Wet lab sessions and guided workshops with live patients are part of the course. With this, we strive to offer a modern and flexible way to study veterinary acupuncture at a high quality level. This veterinary acupuncture course offers the full package: from lectures and practical sessions to the IVAS examination and more (see below).
In recent decades acupuncture has gained popularity in veterinary medicine. It can be combined well with Western and other Eastern medicine and therapy strategies. Veterinary acupuncture is indicated in cases of pain, osteoarthritic changes in the joints and other causes of lameness, protruding or slipped discs and other neurological disorders, gynaecological and digestive problems, pulmonary and cardiac problems and even disorders in the emotional field, to name but a few.
Practical information The course fee is 4995,- euro (free of VAT). This includes all lessons (27 days), extra classical workshop hours, review of 10 case logs and the final case report to meet IVAS certification requirements, course manual (digital; usb-drive), coffee/tea/lunch facilities, 1 year membership of IVAS, access to online learning environment (IVAS Moodle site), 1 year membership of The Dutch SNVA, the IVAS certification exam (1 general theoretical exam + 1 canine practical exam + 1 equine practical exam; the exams are spread over 2 days).

Equine Metabolic Syndrome, EMS, Peripheral Cushing’s Disease in horses using herbs and homeopathy November 24, 11.15 AM – HORSES This the most common endocrine disorder seen in horses and caused by slow and progressive changes which occur to the pars intermedia area of the pituitary gland. Although the exact cause of these changes is not known, they result in the overproduction of hormones which regulate adrenal function leading to excess plasma cortisol levels - Cushing’s disease. This results in a characteristic range of symptoms which in the early stages, includes delayed shedding of the coat (hirsutism), changes in body conformation, the appearance of fat deposits, lethargy, poor performance and laminitis. As the condition progresses other symptoms can appear including abnormal sweating episodes, polyuria and polydipsia, reduced immune function (with increased risk of infection), failure to shed the winter coat, muscle wasting, cessation of the oestrus cycle, infertility, hyperglycaemia and neurological symptoms. Although this condition is not curable, both herbal and homeopathic remedies can be used successfully in the overall management, easing clinical symptoms, improving the quality of life and reducing the risk of the life-threatening aspects of this illness.
Equine Cushing’s Disease, Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) in horses using herbs and homeopathy November 24, 12.10 PM – HORSES EMS is a relatively common endocrine disorder seen in horses which is not dissimilar to type 2 diabetes in humans. It typically occurs in those horses or ponies which are overweight and under exercised (most often “easy keepers”) and generally tends to be seen in younger horses compared to those which develop PPID which tend to be older. Obesity leads to insulin dysregulation resulting in post-feeding hyperinsulinemia which can trigger laminitis, a common and serious consequence of EMS. Dietary and other management changes are needed to resolve this condition and to prevent recurrence. These can be combined with both herbal and homeopathic remedies to relieve symptoms and to treat EMS cases with a greater degree of success.

But as they say we are at the beginning to understand what is really going on in gut and in which interconnection we live with it. The microbiome consists between 800 to 1000 different bacterial tribes, some viruses and fungis and the summation of all the bacteria with which we live in symbioses: digestive system from mouth to anus, skin, lung, liver, uterus and vagina and of course the brain (neurobiome). The microbiome has very different and vital functions: 75 % of the immune system in various ways, splitting-up indigestible food residues, detox of toxicants, producing substances which cannot be added to the body by food such as vitamins, short-chained fatty acids, essential amino acids, dopamine, e.g. the kiss or can I transfer 80 miobacterias to my sweetheart…

Healing with sounds November 25, 11.15 AM – HORSES | Part 1 November 25, 12.10 PM – HORSES | Part 2 “Not matter, but quantum information is the building block of everything.” With this this interesting theorem by Dr. Erik Verlinde, professor in Theoretical Physics at the University of Amsterdam and winner of the Dutch Spinoza Price, Eric Laarakker starts his lecture. He takes you through his quest and recent discoveries in the field of Frequency and Information Medicine. Sound as a pressure wave has the ability to penetrate far through water. In every living organism, 99% of the molecules in the body are water molecules and water is of vital importance for many bodily and cellular functions, including the maintenance of DNA. Perhaps this provides the most important opening for medical sciences to tackle pathologies? Everything within and around the body (from the internal organs to body cells and bacteria, viruses etc.) has its own specific frequency. In the past 23 years, Eric has identified many thousands of frequencies with his Lecher-antenna that play a role in health and disease. In his lecture he explains how this can be used in modern (veterinary) medicine.
Evaluating the Use of Complementary Diagnostic Tools in Practice November 25, 02.55 PM – HORSES There are many holistic treatment strategies available within veterinary medicine, like acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy and manual therapies. Often, combining different strategies enhances the effect of the treatment. But how do you choose the right treatment or medication? How do you examine the patient as a whole and how do you come to your diagnosis?
The use of complimentary diagnostic tools can offer -in the hands of an able practitioner- valuable support. Eric will talk about the use of bio-energetic measuring instruments in general, and his own experience with these. More in particular, he will discuss the use of the Connection-sensor and the Lecher Antenna in holistic veterinary practice.
