Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Just wanted to inform some who might be interested that I was able to borrow one of my TCM doctor's texts. He tends to use it as a introduction to TCM for serious students & those pursuing this field. It's called the Foundations of by Giovanni Maciocia. I've been slowly going through it, taking it slow so I can absorb & get the intuitive feel for the info since it's the way my mind works. I have to have the sense that I can understand innately what I've already learned before I can add more info to my mind. Thanks to being able to borrow this text (an extended period as needed too!), I'm beginning to see how to change my life style & eating habits for the better. I've always ate healthy, as-unprocessed-as-possible foods but not necessarily the right combinations for me. And I only ate when I was hungry which sometimes meant only once or twice a day. I realise now how counterproductive this is for me & how it affected my other systems. I highly recommend for anyone seriously interested in TCM to see if they can buy or borrow a GOOD text on the basics - though I'm sure there are other good ones from what I have. It will prove to be an eye-opener as to why your body feels & reacts in certain ways & in how you can make changes for feeling your best - your full potential possible. And for anyone relatively new who would like to know a little more on acupuncture, I highly recommend the site http://www.acuxo.com/ Go through it & explore the meridians & abstracts. You may learn a great deal through this site. I did. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Maciocia is extremely highly thought of. This is one of the first books they give us in TCM school. There is also CAM or " Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion. " Can't remember the author of that. Also Peter Deadman's book is excellent.
