ABOUT Dr Adam Suzman 

Adam studied Homoeopathy, Nutrition and Naturopathy at the Australasian College of Natural therapies in Australia and was awarded the best clinical skills award by the Australian Homeopathic Association. He was a member of the Australian Homeopathic Association, graduated in 2000 and then practiced as a homoeopathic doctor for 20 years in Australia, France and India before he decided to take his experience with patients and the ailments that befell them into a new system of medicine to allow more people access to the tools with which they could begin their own journey of self-awareness.

This new system which he named Beyond Medicine is based on examination of the mental, emotional and historic causes of disease as the primary factors individuals are not able to move beyond their ailments into radiant health. This system which is based on observation over 20 years in practice focuses heavily on memory, subconscious and unconscious patterning and generational trauma. This system has a strong foundation in various religious traditions but most specifically the diamond way of Tibetan Buddhism. What this system attempts to do is to address the memories and patterns which are causing us to end up in habitual patterns which bind us into repetitive behaviour.

By addressing the root causes of a lot of the mental and emotional triggers, we are able to move into a new self. a self unbound by the past. In order to do this Dr Suzman has combined substances from alchemically burnt gemstones, mantras and living plant medicines to create energetic works of art which can begin to unbind a lot of the patterning that keeps us stuck in habitual states. This beyond medicine system addresses old memories, habitual patterns, conditioned responses as well as instilling positive archetypes of healthy behaviour that we can entrain our minds with. This brings about a more exuberant and happy mindset as well as a more nuanced view of the world where we actually get to choose which belief structures we want in our heads.

He has also worked extensively with the immortal jellyfish both as a frequency and as a molecule and one part of his range is devoted to bringing the amazing regenerative power of the immortal jellyfish to the world.

Beyond Medicine: Liberating the Psyche

This presentation introduces a transformative system of medicine that addresses the mental, emotional, and ancestral roots of disease. By utilizing potentized remedies derived from plants, minerals, mantras, and holy waters, this approach facilitates the resolution of unresolved memories, bringing them into dreams and waking life for healing and closure.

Key components of this system include Buddhist alchemy and karmic medicines, which tap into the past to provide clarity and closure. These remedies establish new archetypal patterns of confidence and accomplishment, offering individuals a blueprint for genuine well-being and connection. This repatterning creates a foundation for experiencing life with a profound sense of completion and vitality.

A unique feature of the Beyond Medicine system is its focus on regeneration, incorporating remedies derived from the immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) and various forms of gold. These substances work at the DNA level, aiming to slow the aging process and promote cellular rejuvenation.

The presentation also explores how specific remedies reveal subconscious and unconscious patterns shaped by childhood trauma or inherited relational models. By bringing these hidden dynamics into awareness, individuals can transform them, moving closer to the ultimate goal of freedom from conditioned existence.

This groundbreaking system has demonstrated life-changing results for many, with its remedies undergoing numerous trials to validate their effectiveness.

Qi Gong: A Comprehensive Introduction

This presentation provides an in-depth introduction to Qi Gong and its role in Chinese medicine, conventional medicine, martial arts, and daily life.

Qi Gong is an ancient system of exercise and self-cultivation that profoundly transforms practitioners physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. As a principle-based practice, it empowers individuals to continuously enhance their qualities and abilities, allowing them to reach their full potential through ongoing training.

Drawing on over 35 years of experience with Qi Gong, I will explore its essence, how it works, and the foundational principles that underpin all Qi Gong exercises, including:

Yin-Yang: The theory of balanced thinking and holistic insight.

The Three Treasures: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

The Three Regulations: Aligning body, Qi, and mind (or posture, breath, and concentration).

These principles will form the basis for discussing how Qi Gong serves as a foundational pillar of Chinese medicine. I will highlight its importance for practitioners of Chinese medicine in understanding and enhancing their practice, as well as its application in patient treatment strategies. Furthermore, I will delve into how Qi Gong extends beyond medicine to become a practical, transformative tool for daily living.

In this presentation, I will share examples from my Chinese medicine practice, where Qi Gong has been used both as a complementary and standalone treatment for various conditions. I will also recount my personal journey with Qi Gong, from its influence on me as a teenager to its enduring role in my professional and personal life.

This session aims to inspire and inform, showcasing the profound impact of Qi Gong on health, wellness, and personal growth.

About Dr. Bernard Brom

Bernard is a medical doctor who has worked tirelessly for over 40 years to find ways to help the body access its innate ability to heal. His approach has been to support health rather than to simply treat disease. In this ques,t he has explored the connections between body, mind, and spirit.

Dr. Brom graduated from the University of Cape Town’s Medical School in 1965 and then went on to specialise in Gastroenterology. He gave up medicine from 1971 to 1976 to travel around the world. During this time he discovered that there were other ways to heal and treat people. When he returned to South Africa he made a decision to treat ill-health without drugs. To this end, he studied naturopathy, acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, and how to use nutritional supplements and herbs to heal. He also specialised in using the low-energy laser.

Medicine of the Future

As quantum principles continue to influence our understanding of reality, the practice of medicine will inevitably transform. Quantum medicine promises to revolutionize healthcare, shifting its foundation from mechanistic reductionism to a more integrated, dynamic, and participatory model.

Medicine has always evolved through experience. Traditional healing systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), exemplify the cumulative wisdom gathered over thousands of years, where healers refined methods through shared experiential knowledge. However, this approach gave way to ‘scientific medicine,’ rooted in Newtonian physics. This paradigm prioritized the objective, measurable world while dismissing the subjective realm as less real and, therefore, irrelevant.

Conventional medicine adopted this mechanistic model, reducing the human body to a machine. Diagnoses and treatments were confined to what could be quantified, sidelining the inherently subjective experience that defines much of human health and well-being.

With the advent of quantum science, the foundation of this approach has been profoundly challenged. Quantum principles—such as complexity, nonlinear dynamics, coherence, energy-information systems, quantum potential, entanglement, the observer effect, and multidimensionality—reveal a far more intricate reality.

In this new paradigm, the causes of ill health are neither linear nor easily identifiable. Instead, quantum medicine emphasizes energy-information as the core focus, shifting away from a purely biochemical perspective. The observer effect highlights the practitioner’s active participation in the healing process, transforming the role of the healer into a co-creator in the journey toward wellness.

This perspective redefines not only the nature and meaning of illness but also its purpose. Quantum medicine challenges the reductionist view, offering a holistic understanding of health that encompasses both the physical and the energetic realms.

Ancient Medicine, Modern Choice: Regulating Emotional Health through the Five Element System

This seminar explores the relationship between the Five Element system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and emotional regulation, providing a powerful tool for managing emotional states and stress.

In a world where stress is a primary contributor to disharmony, emotional regulation becomes essential for maintaining balance and overall well-being. The Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—offer a unique framework for understanding and managing emotional fluctuations. Each element corresponds to a specific emotional state, and by recognizing and balancing these energies, clients can effectively regulate their emotions and navigate stress more effectively.

This seminar will demonstrate how to use the Five Element system as a tool for helping clients recognize emotional patterns, understand their root causes, and restore harmony within themselves. By applying this system, practitioners can guide clients in achieving emotional resilience, stability, and alignment with the natural rhythms of life.

Participants will learn practical techniques to incorporate into their practice, including strategies for movement, mindfulness, and lifestyle adjustments that support emotional balance and stress management. This approach empowers clients to regain control over their emotional states, leading to improved well-being and a more balanced, fulfilled life.

Seasonal Wellness and Emotional Balance: Insights from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Dr. Chunlan Li’s presentation delves into three key health topics through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): the physiological impact of anger, winter health preservation, and strategic herbal treatments.

The first segment explores how anger affects the body. While anger does not inherently cause illness, prolonged or intense anger disrupts physiological balance. TCM attributes this to liver qi disorder, where anger causes qi stagnation and reversal, affecting other organs. Modern research supports this, showing that anger overstimulates the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, disrupting neuroendocrine and immune functions, potentially leading to disease.

The second segment addresses winter health challenges, particularly for those with weaker constitutions. TCM emphasizes the principle of “correspondence between man and nature” to maintain health during winter. Practical guidance includes kidney nourishment, energy conservation, and preventing common ailments such as colds, joint issues, and respiratory diseases. Strategies include using tonics, engaging in gentle exercise, and adopting wellness practices like morning cold-water nose rubbing, hot porridge consumption, and foot baths.

The final segment provides a detailed overview of herbal formulas for common autumn and winter health patterns. Drawing from clinical experience, Dr. Li will present evidence-based herbal combinations that enhance immune function, balance internal energy, and promote wellness. Participants will learn to select remedies tailored to individual needs and seasonal requirements.
