    <body><![CDATA[This book demonstrates fundamental differences in perception btwn western and eastern healing -- in Chinese medicine focus is on the individual &amp; how he/she manifests dis-ease;  Western thought sees disease as the &quot;enemy&quot; that invades from the outside.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A.K.A. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for Dummies.  The author clearly explains the basic premise for chinese medicine and what doctors of oriental medicine look for when treating a patient.  Highly recommended if you're into this sort of thing.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great read for anyone interested in chinese medicine. As it's the field I'm going into I found it a really great start to my studys. Not an easy book to read if you have no prior experience, or if you have a knowledge of western medicine.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really complex, heady and a bit obtuse book on the history, theory and practice of traditional Chinese Medicine (written by a white american TCM practitioner). However, good comparisons to alopathic medicine and interesting case studies.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a really good introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine for those of us born and raised in the western world.  For me, there is a poetic quality to the subtleties of TCM and it's approach to having and maintaining a body. ]]></body>
