Course Overview
KPD Clinical Deep-Dive Course
For Practitioners
The complete diagnostic and treatment protocol for Kryptopyrrole Disorder — including the ACES four-dimensional approach that even Walsh-trained practitioners have never seen.
Instructor: Dr. Jingduan Yang, MD
Board-Certified Psychiatrist · Integrative Medicine Physician · ACES Four-Dimensional Medicine
The Problem This Course Solves
Kryptopyrrole Disorder affects 10–15% of psychiatric patients, yet it is not taught in medical school. It is frequently misdiagnosed because it can mimic multiple psychiatric and behavioral conditions while driving treatment resistance through overlooked biochemical dysfunction.
- Misdiagnosed as 6+ conditions: ADHD, GAD, bipolar II, schizophrenia, autism, and depression.
- Treatment resistance explained: medications may partially help while the underlying zinc and B6 depletion remains unaddressed.
- The copper toxicity nobody sees: when zinc drops, free copper rises, contributing to anxiety, racing thoughts, and insomnia.
What You’ll Learn
1. The Science of KPD
The heme synthesis pathway, HPL overproduction, the zinc-B6 depletion mechanism, and why conventional psychiatry missed it for decades.
2. The B6-Zinc-Copper Triad
Why P5P matters, how zinc supports thousands of proteins, the copper-zinc seesaw, free copper calculation, and the chemistry that contributes to brain dysfunction.
3. Evening Primrose Oil & the D6D Blockage
Why the omega-6 pathway is blocked in KPD, why fish oil alone does not solve it, and how GLA helps bypass the broken pathway.
4. The Complete Lab Workup
Urine HPL, serum zinc, plasma P5P, serum copper, ceruloplasmin, and whole blood histamine — what to order, how to handle samples, and how to interpret results.
5. Dosing Protocols & Monitoring
Zinc picolinate/citrate, P5P, EPO/GLA, magnesium, titration schedules, copper-zinc ratio tracking, methylation subtyping, and stress-flare management.
6. The ACES Four-Dimensional Approach
What functional medicine misses: the Energy and Spirit dimensions, including meridian-level interventions, emotional energy work, and spirit-level healing.
7. 4 Full Case Studies
Real patients, real labs, real treatment timelines, and real outcomes — including cases where nutrient repletion alone was not enough.
8. Clinical Tools & Downloads
Diagnostic checklists, patient intake questionnaires, lab order templates, dosing reference cards, and patient education handouts.
