I checked this book out from the library. I was impressed with charts and specific points that are not described in other books. Talks about type of needle, time, and in general everything you want to know. Has meridian, point reference, Chinese name, anatomical position, depth of insertion, and any special notes you should know. Excellent reference material. I check things out thourghly before I buy. You can’t go wrong w/this book. I’m purchasing this for myself now…….

This author is obviously very well versed in alot of material as you know from everything he has written. He remarks that he will only use from acupuncture what is real and forget the hocus/pocus. I feel that Mr Chaitow highly underestimates the powers of acupuncture medicine. I am a western trained physician who has just trained in this ancient wonderful world of acupunture. There is no methodical or conceptual description for point selection, but a mere lists of points for pain in areas of the body. For headaches-points A,B & C. For backpain–points X,Y & Z, etc. I have no regrets in the purchase, but I like it only to supplement my other material.

I am a student of Acupuncture currently working on a BSc degree in Oriental Medicine and bought this book for a research project on Acupuncture and Pain Management. Even though the author is a practiving Doctor of Naturopathy as well as Osteopathy, he has very little insight into Acupuncture. He calls TCM theory and diagnisis – which is the basis of successful Acupuncture – “antiquated Chinese mythology”. Page 9 reads: “I (the authhor) maintain that much of what traditional acupuncturists hold to be true consists of theories and quaint explanations steeming from Chinese mythology and antiquity. The value of these to an age not versed in modern scientific terminology is obvious.” One the same page ee also remarks that “Myths and antique phraseology are often perpetuated as a result of an inability to see what is real in the vast literature that has grown around this subject…”. No TCM diagnosis is applied, no point selections guidelines are given, no treatment formulas suggested. The title of this book is misleading. It should be called “sticking a needle where it hurts – a guide for the ignorant”.
