Interested parties can contact the following three people. Basic knowledge of TCM drug therapy is required, but of course you are welcome to have a little more.

We introduce:

Dr Thomas Grauer

Portrait Thomas Grauer

The first doctor in Switzerland to work with TCM medicines was Thomas Grauer. It was on his initiative that the first TCM herbs arrived in Switzerland almost 50 years ago. The pharmacist Silvia Briggen was prepared to stock them in the Bellevue pharmacy in Zurich. Thomas Grauer was also involved in the founding of the first association that focussed on TCM medicines: the ZG-TCM was initially a purely medical association. Prof Manfred Porkert was the first teacher of the small group of students who gathered around this outstanding sinologist. Stays in Chengdu (Sichuan) were part of the training programme. The small group repeatedly invited lecturers from China to Switzerland. Expertise and experience were continuously accumulated. Now it is passed on in lectures, on courses and also in this way: TCM doctors can sit in on courses.

Medical practitioner Silvio Schaller

Portrait1 Silvio

Doctor Silvio Schaller was also there from the very beginning. He also travelled to Chengdu repeatedly for professional and then family reasons. He was a founding member of the Wilfriedstrasse practice group, where his wife Xiaoyong also works. Silvio Schaller worked for many years with acupuncture and pharmaceuticals, today only with the latter. As a general practitioner, he is confronted with a broad spectrum of general practice problems and is also very experienced in treating children and dermatological diseases. He received his additional training in this field from Mazin al Khafaji in London and knows exactly where the pitfalls lurk in this discipline. TCM doctors are welcome to visit.
