This is uniquely an original Chinese text written specifically for translation to English. Dr Wu Yan is a linguist and physician, a visiting professor at the Pacific Institute of Chinese Medicine in New York, and is a tenured faculty member at Beijing Peili Acupuncture College. This text is based on the practice of TCM in the medical centers of the People's Republic of China. It complements all didactic and clinical texts by providing students and clinicians with the treatment protocols used in China's public healthcare system. Over 100 general conditions are differentiated according to pattern, referenced to related biomedical conditions, and discussed in terms of etiology and pathogenesis. Treatment by acupuncture and moxibustion, individualized decoctions or prepared formulas, as well as ancillary methods such as ear acupuncture are described. The text is direct and clinically specific. Formula amendations and auxiliary points are noted for specific clinical signs. The authors remarks lucidly describe useful integrations with biomedicine and diagnostic clues that can make the difference between clinical success and failure. The clarity of the clinical definitions is of great utility to the student. Each and every concept is preserved in English, giving the text an integrated relation to supporting theoretical and clinical literature. This is a no-nonsense clinical guide that teaches modern Chinese practice and provides cross-references to whatever information may be required.

    It's a great book. Clear, concise, complete. I wish it was bigger and had more pathological patterns. But i like this book a lot.This is a must knowledge to have. This book is nice to have by the side during the practice (patterns, herbs). Also you can look up the chapters, information from it at [...]
    It's good for the start as well.

    This is a good reference book for common conditions found in a Clinic or hospital setting. Herbal formula include additions to common formula and acupuncture point prescription are an addition rather than full explanation. Using differential syndromes for diagnosis practitioners of Chinese Medicine can easily pick up this book and use in clinic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Like spleen enlargement
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2014
    Book does contain treatment for cancer even acute leukemnia, lymphomas, but it does not mention that western terminology, it goes by the symptoms.
    Like spleen enlargement, drum hard abdomen - those maybe cancer symptoms.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Book for all TCM Practitioners
    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2000
    As a student of TCM, I have read or bought most every English language book on the subject. This book features true Ph'D level TCM disease discriminations and treatment strateties written with the very best of American editing and organization. If I had to choose just one TCM reference, this would be it.
