Candice Nelms, A.P. is a continuing student and practitioner of Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis™ (hereinafter "CCPD™"), a sophisticated system of diagnostics which relies on the subtleties of the sensations, qualities and structure of the radial artery at both wrists. Heavily steeped in ancient wisdom and classical pulse diagnosis dating back thousands of years, CCPD™ provides insight into the modern diseases and constitutional imbalances that affect modern man in an industrial world.

CCPD™, while having its roots in classical pulse systems, was significantly adapted by Dr. John H.F. Shen over the course of his long and well renowned career having seen hundreds of thousands of patients. After an intensive apprenticeship with Dr. Shen over a period of 28 years, Dr. Leon Hammer took on the arduous task of codifying and continuing the evolution of this pulse system.

Integrating the information from a pulse analysis, your practitioner is able to arrive at a complex diagnosis which prioritizes levels of imbalances of not just the symptomatic representations, but more importantly the root causes of disease.

Incorporating concepts and clinical realities that have not been diagnosed by any diagnostic methods in Chinese medicine, CCPD™ is truly a treasure which can change the lives of patients. By incorporating a precise measure of a healthy balanced pulse, even the subtlest deviations from this norm can be detected, thus establishing its importance not only in treating disease, but also as a preventative medicine.

Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis™ is an exquisite and sophisticated means of understanding the whole person and provides complex insight into a patient's condition.
