Statements of Fact in Traditional Chinese Medicine (English and Mandarin Chinese Edition)

This book is a must have for any serious student or practitioner of Chinese medicine.. If u memorize the statements they really help you to remember what the lessons are on a deeper level. I can actually day that for the first time in years. I get what I am studying.Get it read your material from I m your classes n notes then use this and memorize each section. I will b more prepared to do diagnosis and ace your tcm boards.I can't live without this.

This neat little volume contains a wealth of information. The Chinese medicine "statements of fact" are well categorized, and Flaws' comments on understanding them are very useful! If you're a new student, it can be really helpful to review basic TCM theory quickly / on the go, and whatever your level of study/practice, this is great quick reference tool for writing case studies and papers. And if you're the kind of person who likes to read the dictionary, you can spend hours poring over these pages.

A nice little book with key statements of fact culled from the primary texts.A nice book to have to jog your memory while waiting for a TCM fundamentals exam to start. very light in backpack

The book arrived in the condition as stated. It is a book I will be using in my acupuncture classes. I have read a portion already and look forward to reading more.

I understand what Bob Flaws was shooting for with this book. Chinese medicine is built upon short statements that have withstood the test of time, although they come from many sources throughout the long history of traditional Chinese medicine. However it is only a little booklet full of these statements.If I had my druthers, I would take each one of these "statements of fact" such as "Liver stores the blood" and add a clinical application such as "because the Liver stores the blood, it is implicated in menstrual irregularities or any condition that is coincidental with the menstrual cycle." Something like that.

Great book, but the only problem is ... the pinyin doesn't have tone markings :(

I love my new book!

As excellent resource and reflection for key concepts and thoughts related to the classical foundations of Chinese Medicine and beyond.

Excellent, concise, small enough to carry around for easy study. Arrived quickly.
