The treatment of modern Western medical diseases with Chinese medicine : a textbook & clinical manual

Since the initial publication of this book, the most complete clinical manual on the Chinese medical treatment of modern Western diseases, it has become far and away the best selling title that we publish. Now this second edition has been expanded, updated, and improved. This edition covers 79 common Western diseases, seven more than the previous text. For each disease, the book covers both acupuncture and Chinese medicine protocols for treatment as well as a comprehensive review of Western medicine. In addition, all the herb listing have been reformatted as easy-to-read lists instead of paragraphs, and all herbs are now listed with pin yin first and Latin nomenclature second. Finally, all herbal listings have been updated to correspond to changes in the latest edition of Chinese Herbal Materia Medica by Bensky, Clavey, and Stoger.

By modern Western medical diseases, we mean all the disease categories of Western medicine excluding gynecology and pediatrics. By Chinese medicine, we mean standard contemporary professional Chinese medicine as taught at the two dozen provincial Chinese medical colleges in the People's Respublic of China. The two main therapeutic modalities used in the practice of this style of Chinese medicine are acupuncture-moxibustion and the internal administration of multi-ingredient Chinese medicinal formulas. Treatment plans for each disease discussed herein are given for each of these two main modalities In Chinese medicine, it is said that the treatment principles are the bridge between the patient's pattern and their treatment.
