In the classical science of Chinese medicine, detailed knowledge of the dynamics and interrelationship of the five organ networks is the foundation for successful diagnosis and treatment. Five organ network theory, moreover, represents an excellent example for the principles of traditional energy medicine--describing the boyd in concrete detail as a dynamic system of intertwined functional circuits that resonate with the macrocosmic layers of the universe.

Dr. Fruehauf is the founding professor of the College of Classical Chinese Medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, where he has taught since 1992.
