ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
This book marks the first original collection of acupuncture case histories in English. Included are over one hundred case histories contributed by prominent practitioners of acupuncture in China. The case histories represent a broad spectrum of disorders for which acupuncture is used in contemporary China.
Each of the case histories provides a thorough discussion of the traditional Chinese diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, together with the points and techniques selected for treatment. The course of therapy is described, and alterations in the diagnosis and treatment regimen are analyzed. The results of treatment-both favorable and unfavorable-are noted.
An introduction compares and contrasts many of the treatment techniques and types of points used in the cases.

USER REVIEWS
"This is one of the books required by the California State Board. And it's the only one I enjoyed studying.
It was only used at our school by teachers for classroom use or testing purposes. However, it contains some advanced channel and pattern pathomechanisms... the kind we only get a little exposure to in English.
Occasionally a Chinese teacher will talk about something like this for which we have no literature (For example, my herbal teacher mentioned a pattern called "Dragon Fire" which was mentioned nowhere in the English literature), so I already suspected we were missing out on some pathomechanisms, etc. Acu Case Histories fills in some of the gaps.
Especially interesting is the section on neurology. There is some fascinating discussion of the Du meridian, its relationship to neurological problems, pathogens, and other meridians.
This book is acupuncture only... in fact, half the patients in the book had already tried biomedicine AND HERBAL MEDICINE without result. It's easy (with the basic training we get in school) to begin to find herbal medicine more powerful than acupuncture. This book will show you some of the ways in which acupuncture can exceed herbal medicine."
