About the book >.>.> This book is a textbook and clinical manual on the treatment of modern Western medical diseases with Chinese medicin By modern Western medical diseases we mean the diseases categories of modern Western medicine excluding gynecolo gy and pediatrics. By Chinese medicine we mean standard contemporary professional Chinese medicine as taught at the two dozen or so provincial Chinese medical colleges in the People’s Republic of China. The two main therapeutic modalities used in the practice of this style of Chinese med- icine are acupuncture-moxibustion and the internal admin- istration of multi-ingredient Chinese medicinal formulas and treatment plans for each disease discussed herein are given for each of these two main modalities. Since the middle of the 20 ^ d century at least Chinese doc- tors in China have been working out the most commonly seen Chinese medical patterns of modern Western diseases. This book follows in that tradition. We have taken this approach because this book is meant primarily for use by Western practitioners and Western medicine’s diagnostic nosology is the dominant one in this milieu. Most Western patients come to Western practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine with a pre-established Western medical diagnosis. This is what they are seeking treatment for and this is what they feel most comfortable talking about. W (OS)
