useful though needs better writing
There are countless massage books, but there are few books written in English about using accupressure.This book has too much hyperbole, and I am skeptical of many of its claims.However, I have successfully used some of the accupressure points for relieving pain and migraine.I think the hand drawn diagrams are very useful.The book is heavily influenced by traditional Chinese medicine, but is partially Americanized and I find it farmore useful than traditional Chinese textbooks.
Bad writing, Bad Diagrams, No Background Information
I agree with the second reviewer.The writing style is that of hukstar snake oil health food advertisement.It is also explains things poorly.The diagrams are labeled with handwritten notes making them hard to read.The diagrams don't match the descriptions.Hardly any background information is given to "why" you are doing one thing as opposed to another.The directions suck.You don't have an easy sense of knowing what you are doing

Lousy writing, poor diagrams, and lack of background
I agree with the second reviewer about the writing style.It reads like a huckster miracle food ad pamphlet.The diagrams are labeled with handwritten notes that are hard to read.The descriptions of the diagrams don't match the diagrams.You are never sure if you are doing things correctly.Next to no background is given why you are doing what you are doing. ...

East meets West on common ground
Using ideas from chaos, quantum, systems, and information theory (and many more), this book is a truly fresh and much needed perspective on TCM. The X Signal System abandons the causal theory of western biological sciences to answer the questions of TCM and effective treatment, and draws explanations and theories of energy, information exchange, and life from modern physics. An Approach to Japanese Acupuncture:
As an entry into the possibilities of acupuncture, within and beyond"TCM", this is a great book. An indepth look into the Art of Advanced Japanese Acupunctur
Covers the entire spectrum of Acupuncture with emphasis on the latest discoveries in Advanced Japanese Acupuncture.Excellent introduction on a vast number of treatment modalities.Teaches a workable method of Abdominal Palpitation for Channel Disturbance.Gives wonderful new scientific research on the possible workings of Acupuncture.Provides the non-needle practitioner with a workable and very powerful system which includes the use of Open Points.

Practical and Conveys Conceptual Understanding
I found this book to be more practical than most books on the subject, and it also gives a good conceptual understanding -- something all too rare, in this area.

Healing with Pressure Point Therapy
If you have a fairy god mother, she will tell you buy this book. So instead of talking to your friends about your mutual aches and pains, invite them over and have an Pressure Point therapy klatach. You'll learn something new and feel a whole lot better.

Healing with Pressure Point Therapy
I like the book and the pressure point work great!

acupressure
Comprehensive cover of subject.detailed instructions where to find the pressure points and the organs that benefit from the treatment.Some points are harder to find than others but a little practice and I found all the points I have needed so far.Well worth a try.

Bleed me
This is by far the most pathetic book on Chinese medicine that I have ever come across. It is poorly edited and loaded with superfluous information (much of which is unfounded). This book does nothing to dispel the unfortunate and grossly disproportionate myths about TCM's clinicsl efficacy; does she make this stuff up? The author's students are reportedly required to purchase her books for their studies, and it wouldn't surprise me to discover that their homework assignements constituted the bulk of Ms. Gardner-Abbate's "research". ...

Simply Wonderful!
One of the first books printed that goes into detail on the wonderful art of massage - used so extensively in the east but only brought to light again in the west in the mid to late 1800's.A valuable book for anyone in the healing arts wanting to know a little history behind a phenomena that is finally becoming an accepted and beneficial alternative form of healing.

An Invaluable Resource
I was interested in generally learning more about the art of massage. This is a wonderful book for the curious or the practitioner. It is a great introduction to massage, speaking of the history as well as practical application. Excellent! ... Read more

Out of date
The book is OK for the layman.However it doesn't really get into how it works and how it cures.The case studies are also very old.However, it is an easy read and great for those who have never heard of Chinese Medicine before. Accupuncture How it Works
A real "where the rubber meets the road" read.For those who want to know more about the complete approach through accupuncture, Peter and Sandra do an excellent job in shedding all the light needed. An A-Zwhat I would term as a "handbook" on Accupuncture.I wish I hadknown about this book prior to my first treatment! A must read. L JacksonOlivebridge, NY ... Read more

Funny andfull of useful information on the noble pot bush
Grandpa's Marijuana Handbook deals with the subject of pot and its use as medicine. It's also entertaining and will elicit a good laugh even as it enlightens. grandpa's marijuana handbook
"I love it!"Bill Press, CNN Crossfir

Not your average pot smokers handbook.
If you're a Senior, or know a Senior who is frightened or otherwise distrustful of marijuana, get this book. First, it's hilarious.If you bought this book for nothing more than a good chuckle, you'd get your moneys worth, but it's far more than that. Mr. Keliher has a Doctorate inEducation, has been married 46 years and is a Korean Vet...he's also hadglaucoma for 30 years and he's treated it successfully with marijuana. As aone himself, he *knows* what it's like to be a Senior Citizen; the hurdles;the stress; the aches and pains. In his book he explains, with an excellentsense of humour and surprisingly apt examples, how marijuana can improve aSenior Citizens Quality of Life.I loved it. ... Read more

Great Book
Great book for locating the exact place of the point. Good color pictures on actual bodies.I would highly recommend this book.

visual atlas of needle insertion
This is a visual atlas showing needles inserted into each of the acupuncture points on the 12 Meridians, and the Du and Ren vessels. Some of the Extra points are also included. It's a good reminder for needle angle and depth of insertion for those who want a visual guide - there is full nudity, by the way, for those points (such as Du 1 or Ren 1) which are in areas normally clothed.

Coming Soon
Just Ordered the Book Today. The price was right and Serin is a good company. Come back in 1 week for a complete review. ... Read more
