I initially dove into this book, very well laid out and attractive but don’t be deceived it’s not the be all of diagnosis despite it’s mammoth number of pages. As far as I’ve been trained, he’s about 70% of the full story … definately a wonderful introduction to TCM’s internal medicine but not everything you need to know. His appendix pages on western differentiation are very welcomed, but are quite basic. Many people in TCM are not so interested in Western meds. but they are very important so thumbs up on the inclusion.
It’s not a bad book, but it’s not so great as the Chinese texts I have in my library who give you the same info at a fraction of the cost, less room on your shelf and a lot less speculation.
Thanks to Maciocia we have a solid intro to TCM, for that I think we are all indebted … but his factory of TCM books are a bit much considering you can get the real info from the source in Chinese Textbooks with both Chinese and English in them.
Yours,
Hastings

This book blends, technically yet accesibly, Oriental and Western Medicine. Clear and to the point, it comprises abundant case studies to illustrate the diseases and treatments presented. It is a must for anyone incorporating Oriental Medicine/Western Medicine in their practice.

I bought the CD hoping I could have the information on several computers. I have had the book for 10 years.
You cannot use this CD on several computers. You have to download the software and use the CD to get information. I’m very disappointed about that. If I had know that, I would have just ordered a second copy of the book to keep at the office, instead of this CD.
This CD is not very functional. You can’t just scroll down with your mouse, you have to click on the toolbar or hit the page down button.
Giovanni, of course, is the master. He is a wonderful author and is responsible for educating thousands of Western acupuncturists. I graduated 7 years ago and still use all his books.
In case you are wondering, he is also a very sweet and funny person. I went to his seminar and was very happy to find out that such a genius can be so humble and funny. He always admits he doesn’t know everything and that is rare in authors of Chinese Medicine books.
Buy the book, not the CD!
