Chinese medicine / acupuncture resources

[Guest guest]

<<Well, Damn it, There goes another $104 bucks. Thank you for the

reference. I went immediately to amazon and bought it. I cannot stand not

having all the valid resources available. It's the Metal in me. Money is

nothing when compared to the wisdom and knowledge gained over the ages by

some of those authors. John M. La Tourrette, PhD >>

 

Glad I'm not the only one spending Maybe I have some Metal in me after

all?!? ...lol...

 

I have Maciocia's Foundations of text. Tthe Secondary

Channels and 8 Extraordinary Vessels text is on my wish list.

Did you see Maciocia's also has flash cards for the new text? I wish they

had sample card posted though so I could get a better idea of what they look

like, etc. "

The Channels of Acupuncture Cards: Clinical Use of the Secondary Channels

and Eight Extraordinary Vessels

Designed to allow students and practitioners to test themselves on their

knowledge of the channels and extraordinary vessels of acupuncture, these 90

two-color flash cards use the color illustrations from the Channels of

Acupuncture text to provide key visual images of the channels. One side of

the cards displays the pathways of the channel and the reverse of each card

provides concise descriptions of the channel pathways. Additional cards

illustrate the pathology of each channel, especially for the eight extra

meridians. Flash cards are an ideal study and review format because of rapid

access and visual reinforcement. This set comes in a convenient spiral-bound

format with a protective sleeve.

 

I did splurge and get Peter Deadman's acupuncture point flash cards a while

ago from Red Wing... Worthwhile!

People who balk at spending the $85 for Deadman's cards, at least get Alon

Lotan's Acupoint Location Guide for $25 - it comes with an interactive

computer CD (Red Wing is the best source as they usually have it in stock):

Sample pages:

You can run the latest online version of the interactive application

software from the author's website:

http://www.etsem.co.il/acupoint/PA.asp

" In the application, each Acupoint has its own blank, layered anatomical

map, of the correct body posture for locating the points, on which a small

popup confirmation appears when the cursor is placed over the point's exact

location. "

 

Many blessings,
