Dr. Yu's texts are among the most informative and accessible Chinese
medical texts to ever be published. Dr. Yu is known for his friendly, warm
and rich teaching style. His instruction is based on his long apprenticeship
with the well-known Sichuan practitioner, Dr. Jiang Yu-Guang and his fifty
years of practice with classical formulas. Dr. Yu started his career as an
economist, but due to the Cultural Revolution, 50 years ago, he was sent to
the countryside. This is where he learned Chinese medicine in the traditional
manner. In spite of, or perhaps because of Dr. Yu’s lack of formal
institutional training, his way of working and teaching are unique and
profoundly traditional. Dr. Yu became a practitioner at the Leshan hospital where he works to this
day, taking over the teaching of seminars from Dr. Jiang. It was Dr. Yu’s seminars that became the
basis of his two volumes of A Walk Along the River.
Michael Fitzgerald was Dr. Yu’s interpreter for the recorded classes. Michael has worked closely
with Dr. Yu on his text and, in addition to having a good rapport with Dr. Yu, he also has an
understanding of his work and intention. He is a lively committed, and clear translator of Dr. Yu’s
work.
Wu Mei Wan: The broad clinical application of this much-misunderstood formula along with Dr.
Yu's modifications and clinical experience.
Ministerial Fire: Ministerial fire is meant to be positioned in the lower warmer and stored there for
use in the body. What happens if it doesn't get to its position or stay there? How can deficiency
scenarios, even, if not especially Yang deficiency, lead to heat pathology due to lack of storage of
this root fire? How can we lead it back to its proper place and bank it up again as a method for
working with heat illness? Dr. Yu goes deep to answer these questions!
Learning from Mistaken Diagnoses and Treatments: One of the hallmarks of Dr. Yu's text is his
how he demonstrates his ability to learn from his own and previous doctor’s errors. Through his
own cases, Dr. Yu will show how getting it wrong is the path to learning and to getting it right.
From Complexity to Simplicity: Seeing through an entangled, intricate presentation to the simple
core of a diagnosis so as to give a focused, effective treatment. Through his own cases, Dr. Yu will
show us how to weed through what seems to be insurmountably complex to determine what
needs to be done first. He will teach us how to see the core simplicity there that gives rise to the
complexity.
Dr. Yu’s Ten Favorite Formulas. Through his own cases, Dr. Yu will teach us how he uses his
most beloved herbal formulas. He will clarify his identification of the pattern as well as how he
modifies the formulas for accurate treatment and speedy results.
