Such a deal!

[Guest guest]

Forgive the shameless plug, but I just learned Amazon.com has drastically

lowered the price of my book " The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture " ,

to just $5.98 and I am not sure why or how long it may last. I wrote it in the

hopes it would reach as many people (pubic and the profession) as possible and

never expected to make a dime off it and surely won't at that price. For an

honest-to-gosh unsolicited testimonial, please read what list member Christopher

Vedeler, L.Ac., C.Ht., who wrote me three weeks ago, had to say:

 

 

 

" .just wanted to email you and express my gratitude for you writing your book

" The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture " .

 

 

 

" I ordered it by a (Attilio's-mb) recommendation made on the TCM .

You make clear so many ideas that I have had an intuitive grasp of, but could

not clearly articulate to my patients. " Web that has no weaver " and " Between

Heaven and Earth " are both excellent books in their own right, but I think yours

gives the clearest picture of what this medicine is about and how it developed

to the Western mindset. Having read your book now after all my Chinese medicine

education, training and practice, I feel that it has brought me back full circle

to the beginning once again. Your book should be standard issue for all

beginning acupuncture students like " Web " is now. "

 

 

 

To the best of my knowledge, my book is the first ever that attempts to trace

the origins of acupuncture and Oriental medical theory to its earliest roots,

showing how great a role prehistoric astronomy played. Don't be fooled by the

somewhat cheesy title and cover art, my publisher chose those to appeal to the

general public. Perhaps if I had titled it what a colleague once suggested

" Before the Yellow Emperor " , it would have better caught the attention of the

acupuncture/OM community.

 

 

 

I am trying to bring my work to the attention of the profession but it is kind

of tough practicing full- time and being a one-person promotional agent. I have

to rely on word-of-mouth as my publisher has bigger fish to fry. Please tell

others if you think this odd little book has value as Christopher does. Thanks,

and I promise I will not bother this list in this way again (I'll find other

ways to bother you).
