Product Description
Two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify Chinese medicine's centuries-odl approach to health. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West.

Easy to read October 26, 2009
C. R. Hunt (TX, USA)
This book is great. I found that it easy for someone that is just beginning an interest in eastern medicine to get a clue. The book was referred to me by my doctor. He was right about it being a good place to start. It will definitely make you stop and consider the mind set of western medicine. There are also a number of useful recipes in the back if you like to cook.
Good Layman's Guide August 28, 2009
Anna Castiglioni (San Diego, CA United States)
Brought up by a scientist and a Western doctor, I was skeptical and mystified by Chinese medicine. After all, there is little more than anecdotal evidence for most of its success, and there is no rational reason for it to work. I was like Han Solo watching someone use the Force. I began acupuncture because Western medicine had not cured me in a year of trying, and my acupuncturist recommended this book. As I read it, Chinese medicine became less like a hokey religion, and began making sense. With creative language, personal experience from the authors, cases of their patients, elemental guides, and a rundown of various treatments, it's a great beginner's guide for the layman. On the not-so-good side, it does ramble on a bit sometimes, which is why I give it minus 1*.

I was looking for more food information in this book regarding fertility. There was little. But, the book is very informative in regards to the body in whole.
