CSOMA Spring Conference Los Angeles, May 1-2

Conference Spotlight: Lorraine Wilcox
Known for her scholarship and translations of classical Chinese medical texts, as well as her seminars on moxibustion, classical theory, and traditional medicine making, Lorraine Wilcox presents two practical approaches deeply rooted in tradition. Explore Míng dynasty acupuncture, emphasizing fewer needles, shallow insertion, and breath-based timing, alongside ironing (熨法 yùnfǎ), a smoke-free heat therapy for warming and moving qi. Both methods are adaptable, clinically effective, and designed for modern practice, including safe patient home use.

Meet the speaker: Wai To, D.O. is an engineering physician with extensive knowledge and experience in treating complex medical problems (often from untreatable patients dismissed by specialty clinics). His work has revolutionized the application of integrative medicine (Eastern and Western medicine) on both simple and complex medical problems.
What you'll learn: This course rethinks how the digestive and metabolic systems work together, guiding practitioners from complex clinical problems toward clear, practical solutions. We explore how anatomy and physiology—combined with engineering concepts—can be used to design, test, and implement effective medical treatments. Through real-world case studies, the course demonstrates how patients with multiple, seemingly untreatable diagnoses can be reframed into a smaller set of targeted, treatable conditions.
