For patients whose condition has not resolved
The Unresolved
Case Review.
A single, 90-minute constitutional assessment for patients who have received a diagnosis, invested in treatment, and still have not found resolution. You bring the complete history. I apply a diagnostic framework that most prior practitioners have not had access to.

Who this is for
For the patient who has
already tried everything.
The Unresolved Case Review is not for patients who are new to their condition. It is designed specifically for those who have accumulated a treatment history — who have seen multiple practitioners, tried multiple protocols, and still do not have lasting resolution. The prior treatment history is not a liability in this assessment. It is diagnostic data.
You are in the right place if —
You have a confirmed diagnosis and have not found lasting resolution through prior care
You have seen multiple practitioners — conventional, integrative, or both — without resolution
You suspect something deeper is driving the condition — beyond standard clinical variables
You want to understand what has been missed, in writing, with a clear path forward
Your condition is IBS, a chronic digestive disorder, or another complex treatment-resistant presentation
This may not be suited if —
You have not yet received a formal diagnosis or seen a physician about your condition
You require emergency or acute medical management
You are not open to constitutional, environmental, or timing-based assessment
You are at the beginning of your diagnostic journey with no prior treatment history
What the review includes
A complete assessment.
A written record. A clear path.
01
Full QEM™ constitutional assessment
Your elemental type, organ vulnerability profile, and seasonal cycle patterns — read against your case history to identify the constitutional basis of your condition and why prior approaches reached a ceiling.
02
Environmental field review
Assessment of home and workplace environmental pressures on your condition — an influence that standard treatment frameworks do not evaluate and which is frequently a significant maintaining factor in complex cases.
03
Diagnostic explanation of prior treatment gaps
A clear account of why prior treatments produced partial or temporary results — not as a critique of previous practitioners, but as a framework explanation. Understanding the gap is the first step toward addressing it.
04
Sequenced protocol outline
What I would do, in what order, and why — specific to your constitutional pattern, not a generic protocol. You leave with a clear clinical direction you can act on independently or continue with this practice.
05
Option to go deeper — full BaZi Constitutional Reading
For patients whose case reveals a significant temporal and elemental dimension, a full BaZi Constitutional Reading is available as a natural continuation. This is a different order of depth — a complete map of constitutional health across time. Not offered to every patient. Discussed where it is clinically warranted.
How it works
Three stages.
One clear outcome.
Structured intake — before we meet
On booking, you receive a structured intake document. It covers your full treatment history and what was tried, your current symptom picture with timing and triggers, your birth date and time (for constitutional profiling via BaZi), and your current home and work location (for environmental assessment). This is where the assessment begins — not in the room. I review your intake before the session. You will not be repeating your history to me from scratch.
Completed before the sessionThe 60-minute session
The session is structured in three parts. The first 20 minutes are mine: I present my constitutional findings — your elemental profile, the environmental pressures I have identified, the timing patterns in your case. You will hear a diagnosis first. This is by design — it immediately demonstrates what a different framework produces. The middle 20 minutes are collaborative: you refine the picture, fill in nuances the intake didn't capture, and we build the complete assessment together. The final 20 minutes are the protocol: what I would do, in what sequence, and a clear explanation of what prior treatment missed and why.

For those who want to go further
Where a case reveals a significant constitutional and temporal dimension, a full BaZi Constitutional Reading — a complete elemental map of your health trajectory across time — is available as a next step. A different order of depth. $1,000. Discussed where clinically warranted.
Common questions
before booking.
If you have a question not answered here, write to vu@vule.ca — you will receive a direct response, not an automated reply.
Is this for IBS specifically, or other conditions?
The QEM™ framework is constitutional — it applies to any complex or treatment-resistant condition where standard care has reached a ceiling. IBS is a particular area of clinical depth, but the review is open to other presentations. Enquire with your condition and I will confirm whether the assessment is appropriate.
I've had acupuncture before and it didn't help. Is this different?
The Unresolved Case Review is a constitutional diagnostic assessment, not an acupuncture session. The framework — QEM™ — integrates constitutional profiling, environmental assessment, and timing analysis. This is not standard TCM or generic acupuncture practice.
Can I do this virtually?
Yes. The session is available by video for patients anywhere in Canada. The constitutional and environmental assessment does not require in-person attendance.
What if the assessment finds my case isn't suited to further treatment here?
You will be told that directly — and told why, and what I would recommend instead. This happens. The review is not a funnel into ongoing care. It is an honest clinical assessment.
Do you take insurance for this?
The Unresolved Case Review is a constitutional assessment service and is not billed under a registered modality for benefits purposes. For ongoing clinical care: acupuncture sessions are CTCMPAO-registered and eligible for extended health benefits where your plan provides coverage. Herbal medicine is not covered by extended health benefits and is billed directly — the $115 herbal consultation includes the first 5-day formula. Same-formula refills arranged by direct contact are $100 per 5-day supply. Formulas are dispensed from this clinic only — we do not provide written formulas for third-party dispensing. We ship Canada-wide. In-clinic pickup is included. Shipping is extra and billed at actual carrier cost — confirmed with you before dispatch. It is the patient's sole responsibility to verify coverage with their insurance provider prior to treatment. Not all insurance plans cover services from this practice. We do not guarantee, confirm, or assume responsibility for any insurance reimbursement. All fees are due in full at the time of service regardless of insurance status.
Why this framework reaches what prior treatment has not
A different lens
produces different findings.
Over more than two decades of practice — across clinical settings on multiple continents — the cases that consistently prove most revealing are the ones that arrive after years of failed treatment. Not because they are unusual, but because the prior treatment was applied through a framework that was simply not equipped to see the full picture.
The QEM™ framework — Quantum Elemental Model™ — integrates Classical Feng Shui systems, constitutional profiling through BaZi, traditional Chinese medicine, and constitutional nutrition into a single diagnostic model. Most practitioners have one or two of these tools. The integration of all of them, applied simultaneously to a single case, is what produces findings that prior treatment has not surfaced.
This is not a claim about other practitioners' skill or care. It is a structural observation: a framework that addresses five influences simultaneously will find things that a framework addressing two will not. That is the nature of the diagnostic gap — and the reason the Unresolved Case Review exists.
