ReviewsPraise for Secrets of the Hidden Vessels "The book is fascinating. And from the teaching perspective, it is a great tool to help students understand the organ functions. The book also uses an interesting approach to explain the mental and emotional factors in causing disease, which again will greatly assist in the teaching of this aspect of Chinese medicine." - Brandon Fuller, Program Chair, East West College of Natural Medicine, Sarasota, Florida. "We have come across many books on Chinese Medicine and particularly like this book's approach of blending the Western and Chinese understanding of the organs, to make it clear that both systems describe the same organs. There is a global paradigm shift in medicine, and the importance of Chinese Medicine in understanding the body and health plays a key role in the West's acceptance of alternative approaches to healthcare." - Sam Patel, Joint Principal, The International College of Oriental Medicine (UK)
