Statements of Fact in Traditional Chinese Medicine

by Bob Flaws

This book is a completely new, revised, and expanded edition of this work. It now includes many more important and useful statements of fact, Chinese characters for every statement as well as Pinyin Romanization for every statement. This new edition also includes Bob Flaws's commentary explaining the clinical meaning of each statement. At last, what every TCM student has been looking for, a linguistically accurate, succinct list of the key statements of fact in TCM which, as a style of Chinese medicine, is largely a word game. However, to be effective at playing the game, one needs to know the words. Hopefully, this book will help Western students gain both clarity and proficiency in the process and practice of doing TCM.

[Douglas Eisenstark · Rating 5 out of 5]

A "must have" for anyone studying or practicing East Asian Medicine (TCM etc.). Later editions have a bit more explanation but I still use my first edition as well.

Not sure I'd understand it but would like to check it out.
Sounds very good.
