dr. kaptchuk succeeds in presenting the chinese phylosophy to physicians reared on conventional ideas and practice.
the book is very efficient in pacifying any conflict between the two schools of thought.
great book, great purchase."

"Very good introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine. The autor explains very clearly the difference between Oriental and Western thinking. "

"For the last several years I ended the winter with coughing fits and lung congestion, for which I sought and received the usual western remedies, which proved somewhat useful. But the congestion usually remains, with my coughing and hacking provoking my wife to nag me into seeing her herbalist/acupuncture practitioner, who invariably succeeded where my western medicine had failed. I finally asked the herbalist/L.Ac. to recommend something which explained the workings of Oriental Medicine, and he recommended this book. Although I'm now familiar with concepts such as qi, yin and yang, I find that, even armed with this book, I'm still mystified, and find I still must uncomfortably rely on simple belief that my L.Ac. knows what he's doing, since the logic of these treatment protocols still eludes me.

"With all due respect, this is NOT an "easy" read for the beginner!
I admit it, this book was also recommended for me before starting school, however I don't even think I completely finished it.
Too much info in such a small book! However, for the 1st year student, I would recommend it after 1-2 semesters.
However, this is one of the FIRST INTRO BOOKS written in the 70's.
Thank you for setting the course!"
