Improved Graphics
The Deadman text is required by most TCM schools. If you have the previous version and already know your points this version might not be needed, you can always get the new CD when it comes out. If you are still learning then the illustrations are improved, making it easier to locate the exact location of a point. There have been some corrections made to known errors in the previous edition. ...

I have been suffering with heel pain for several years. I was about to go in for my third cortisone shot and my podiatrist was talking surgery. I also sit at a desk all day and have shoulder pain. This book has relieved me of the heel pain and I am working on back. I highly recommend buying a theracane and a knobble and I happened to have a cd rom called BodyWorks it shows in 3D detail all the ...

Most Recommended Health Book, Learn Why
I purchased Healing With Whole Foods about two years ago because my friend who is an acupuncturist suggested it. The book describes how to health practitioner Paul Pitchford diagnoses and treats diseases in his patients. The book is definately a definitive at home alternative health encyclopedia. For example, the book has a section which explains how to do a liver and gall bladder cleanse. ...

Snake Oil Science: The Truth about Complementary and Alternative Medicine

R. Barker Bausell
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2007
Outstanding book that should be widely read, but won't be
Why? Because Bausell's position on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is simply this: it's no more effective than a placebo. This is not something that millions of people want to hear. Regardless, he puts together a compelling case to support this contention. In fact I would call his conclusion inescapable. R. Barker Bausell is a research methodologist or biostatistician, a ...

FIve Stars Seems a bit much but let me explain ...
I have been training in TCM most of my life now. The thing about a lot of these transations is that people often make assumptions based on grammer ECT ... about what these books are worth ... my Chinese is OK ... but I don't have perfect grammar and most Chinese respect that. There is a bit of Chinglish in this book, but it is definately read-able. The books from the mainland are usually the ...

Energy Tapping
Most people are probably aware of the basic purpose and potential health benefits of acupuncture and acupressure. Energy tapping follows the same basic premises of these two types of therapy. The only differences are that energy tapping looks at only 17 median points on the body, mostly located in the face, hand, and upper chest areas. Moreover, instead of applying pressure or using specialized ...

The Tapping Cure
I have been tapping for over a month and recently read Roberta Temes' book to add to my awareness of this process. I highly recommend "The Tapping Cure", as it is written with clarity, simplicity, and a wealth of information. It has been most helpful to me in making the most of my tapping sessions.

The Best Of The Bunch
I've been using energy tapping for several years. I went through two of Gary Craig's courses, then began buying books on the subject for further (and different) information. Gloria Arenson's book is simply the best. The reviews here cover most of what I was going to say, so I'll just add a paragraph. First, the author lays eveything out in a clear, friendly, useful way. Second, she gives ...

Just Great
I have bought many books and DVD's on massage and anatomy and this is by far the best. It acomplishes what others often fail at and what all my teachers tried to instill in me, looking at a body in a 3 dimensional way. Did I mention the DVD? I was soo suprised that it actually showed everthing (well at least all the anatomy, palaptations, striping and crossfibering) thats in the book. I am very ...
