Fundamentals
of Chinese Medicine: Zhong Yi Xue Ji Chu
by Nigel Wisemann, Zhong Yi Xue Ji Chu, Andy Ellis
Book Description: English translations of traditional Chinese
medical texts rarely have conformed to the standards required of a contribution
to sinology. One exception has been the first edition of Fundamentals of
Chinese Medicine, a ground-breaking translation of the Zhong Yi Ji Chu
Xue which demonstrated that not only was it possible to meet scholarly
expectations for the translations of T.C.M, but that the cooperation of
living Chinese speaking clinicians could reveal nuances of practice. Beyond
beginner's manuals, it gives English-speaking students of TCM a chance
to appreciate the qualitative details available to their Chinese-speaking
colleagues. It offers readers the rare opportunity to understand Chinese
medicine, not as it is perceived by a Western writer, but as it is perceived
and taught in China, because Chinese descriptions of TCM that confound
Western expectations have not been expunged from the textual translation.
The newly revised edition incorporates experience from utilization of
the work as a coursebook for teaching, not only in the West but in China.
Based on the suggestion and aid of Western teachers and translators, this
new, popularly priced edition features a simplified but precise English
terminology, thousands of source Chinese characters, and hundreds of clinical
definitions never before available in English. Contents include yin and
yang and the five phases; qi, blood, essence, and fluids; the channels;
the organs; diseases and their causes. Pattern identification and treatment
of eight-parameter, organ, qi-blood, pathogens, and exogenous heat conditions
are discussed in detail, as are the principles and methods of treatment.
Illustrative acumoxa therapy has been added for Western acupuncturists.
The revised edition includes explanations of terms and an entire materia
medica and formulary sufficient to practice the treatments described by
the text. As such it is not only a unique, absolutely-defined and referenced
text, but a self-contained and inexpensive course of study. As a basic
text produced to a multi-author, multi-publisher voluntary standard, the
revised Fundamentals of Chinese Medicine is a bridge between scholars and
clinicians in both East and West.

Healing
With Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition
by Paul Pitchford
Used as a reference by students of acupuncture, this is a hefty, truly
comprehensive guide to the theory and healing power of Chinese medicine.
It's also a primer on nutrition--including facts about green foods, such
as spirulina and blue-green algae, and the "regeneration diets" used by
cancer patients and arthritics--along with an inspiring cookbook with more
than 300 mostly vegetarian, nutrient-packed recipes.
The information on Chinese medicine is useful for helping to diagnose
health imbalances, especially nascent illnesses. It's smartly paired with
the whole-foods program because the Chinese have attributed various health-balancing
properties to foods, so you can tailor your diet to help alleviate symptoms
of illness. For example, Chinese medicine dictates that someone with low
energy and a pale complexion (a yin deficiency) would benefit from avoiding
bitter foods and increasing "sweet" foods such as soy, black sesame seeds,
parsnips, rice, and oats. (Note that the Chinese definition of sweet foods
is much different from the American one!)
Pitchford says in his dedication that he hopes the reader finds "healing,
awareness, and peace" from following his program. The diet is certainly
acetic by American standards (no alcohol, caffeine, white flour, fried
foods, or sugar, and a minimum of eggs and dairy) but the reasons he gives
for avoiding these "negative energy" foods are compelling. From the adrenal
damage imparted by coffee to immune dysfunction brought on by excess refined
sugar, Pitchford spurs you to rethink every dietary choice and its ultimate
influence on your health. Without being alarmist, he adds dietary tips
for protecting yourself against the dangers of modern life, including neutralizing
damage from water fluoridation (thyroid and immune-system problems may
result; fluoride is a carcinogen). There's further reading on food combining,
female health, heart disease, pregnancy, fasting, and weight loss. Overall,
this is a wonderful book for anyone who's serious about strengthening his
or her body from the inside out. --Erica Jorgensen - Amazon.com
