Product Description

Review

"Written by a trio of very experienced acupuncture practitioners, clinicians and researchers, the book is a 'one-stop shop' in Western medical acupuncture...I am confident that it will be able to stand on its own and establish itself as THE modern manual of medical acupuncture. I do not think I will stop recommending it."
Focus on Alternative and Complimentary Therapies, 2009

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Follow-up to the First Book!, Oct 6 2010

By Not buying in to metaphor medicine - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: An Introduction to Western Medical Acupuncture, 1e (Paperback)

At a time when all too many are willing to follow a guru into a belief-system based approach, i.e., TCM, and abandon their scientific education, this book antidotes the prevailing fascination with myths and metaphors by providing fact-based, straightforward instruction.

I applaud Drs. White, Cummings, and Filshie in their publication of a clinically meaningful text packed with legitimate information that medical professionals should be expected to understand if they are going to advertise themselves as acupuncturists.
