ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume introduces readers to Eastern medicine and synthesizes some aspects of these ancient traditions with modern Western medicine. Kaptchuk, O.M.D., associate director of the Center for Alternative Medicine Research and Education at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, discusses the ideas
"Have read this book as background before starting a course in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and a platform for more detailed study in particular areas."

"I just started a course in Acupuncture and was recommended this book. It's great for medical students like me who want to read about the scientific side of chinese medicine and how it compares with western medicine. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about traditional chinese medicine in a frank way. No hocus pocus writing."

"This book met my needs in terms of depth where others I've browsed have failed to - but it might well be too deep for some readers who don't perhaps wish to be able to comprehend the finer points of pulse diagnosis or Chinese diagnostic patterns. It fails to say much about selection of acupuncture points - or of herbs - however it's strength is in how it gives an understanding of principles - especially in how they compare to those of Western medicine."

"Ted K has trained in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine and he is probably only one of a handful of practitioners round the world who can best explain how the two disciplines compare, what their strengths and weaknesses are and so on. If you are interested in traditional Chinese medicine and want more than just an A-Z guide, this is the book to read (and I haven't yet seen the updated version!). Ted K knows his stuff!"
