This book is very well researched and yet does NOT come off as a dry boring read. On the contrary, it is very accessible and well thought out. The epidemic of obesity in this country is appalling and it is wonderful that there has now been a body of information compiled to help those of us in Chinese Medicine help our patients overcome this devastating condition. Another nice feature is that it truly is an integrative approach, incorporating the most recent findings in Western medicine as well as recent acupuncture research. There is information that would be useful to give to patients directly as well as more clinical research that will be helpful in treatment planning - whether it be from a TCM, Five Element, or Western background. I definitely recommend this book.Click Here to see more reviews about: Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management (Paperback)
