 Excellent Guiding, February 20, 2011

I am a Traditional Lakota healer, but I have studied Traditional Chinese medicine since the 1970s, when nothing I or any Western medicine could do to treat a leg injury. I found an acupuncturist who was also an anesthesiologist in my hunt for some means to return the use of the leg to me. I went in for the first treatment on a brace I had made, & crutches. I walked out carrying them all over my shoulder an hour-&-a-half later. My study began there & then.
This book is easy to follow & understand. I would like it to have a bit more information in two areas - diagnosis alternatives, and sources for some of the herbal formulas - even though a person can find these with a bit of searching in other references or online. But overall, this is an excellent guide & any practitioner of traditional healing ways will find it of considerable value.
