ten specifically for Western practitioners of Chinese medicine, this book is the first comprehensive clinical

resource of its kind. Its detailed Chinese medical discussions of more than 60 diseases, including concise Chinese med-

ical disease mechanisms and detailed medicinal in acupuncture treatment protocols, as well as an Introduction that will

improve every practitioner’s clinical skills in treating the complicated Western diseases we see in real-life practice are sure

to make this superb work the most valuable textbook and clinical manual on the shelves of every Western practitioner

of Chinese medicine.

Physiopathology, clinical aspects, and therapeutics are described thoroughly and precisely in both systems. It is a

bridge that will enable MD’s to understand the Chinese medical point of view and Chinese medical practitioners to gain

clear access to the Western medical approach. A brilliant synthesis!

guages. Bravo!!

Traditional Chinese Medicine today: how to integrate contemporary clinical experience with ancient therapeutic

wisdom. The authors systematically analyze a comprehensive range of modern diseases and syndromes from both a

Western and Chinese medical perspective using intelligent and well-researched interpretations of etiology, pathophysi-

The authors help students and practitioners begin to think their way around frequently seen clinical scenarios that

are not covered in other English language sources.

T his excellent text provides a sophisticated response to one of the more pressing concerns facing practitioners of

ology, and diagnosis, including classical and contemporary reference materials. The result is a serious clinical manual of

internal medicine which focuses on modern, recalcitrant disease and the relevance of Traditional Chinese Medicine in

both understanding and treating it. This is a text that any practitioner, faced with their more challenging cases, from

chronic fatigue syndrome to irritable bowel syndrome to multiple sclerosis, will be excited about. It will enhance not

only their therapeutic endeavors, but also their ability to integrate Western and Eastern interpretations of disease. As

such, any committed practitioner of TCM will want it in their library immediately.

of the contemporary medical literature and their own clinical insights and wisdom. This volume provides a wealth of

clinically relevant information which will be of immediate use to both students and professional practitioners of TCM.

This text is destined to become a standard reference in the practice of TCM in the West.

Western diseases, this one is the most helpful in that it addresses the complexity of the mixed patterns we tend to

see in our patients with ever increasing frequency these days. Rather than simple patterns with one root cause, we tend

to see even the most apparently simple conditions complicated by layers of chronic illness which must be considered and

appropriately dealt with in order for full and lasting function and balance to be restored. All in all, this is a very practi-

cal text.

Medical Diseases with Chinese Medicine joins its predecessors as one of the most knowledgeable and informative

resources for medical practitioners. It is refreshing to have both the Chinese and Western medical approaches to disease

readily available under one cover and to have the current medical literature from both ends of the spectrum at one’s fin-

gertips. Thank you again, Blue Poppy Press, for your innovative, thorough, and unparalleled approach.

into medical practice in the West, there is a need to bridge the many conceptual and practical differences between

Western medicine and Chinese medicine. In his latest work, The Treatment of Modern Western Medical Diseases with

Chinese Medicine , Bob Flaws, along with Philippe Sionneau, have produced a text that is, I believe, a major step in the

integration of these two medicines. Written in a clear style and very well organized and produced, this book will provide

practitioners with much valuable information both for understanding these two medicines as well as for using Chinese

medicine in caring for Western patients who have Western medical diagnoses. Western medical practitioners with an

interest in professional level Chinese medicine will find a great abundance of information to further their understand-

ing. Practitioners of Chinese medicine in Western countries have within this text a multitude of invaluable clinical

insights and, perhaps more importantly, an excellent source for an overall approach to utilizing Chinese medicine/TCM

in approaching patients who have been diagnosed and treated with Western medicine. As a Western-trained physician

practicing Chinese medicine, I applaud the publication of this text and heartily recommend it to any practitioner desir-

ing a more harmonious fusion of Chinese and Western medical practice.
