While I admire many other books in the series (particularly the volume on satanic love-making techniques) I was a little concerned by the wisdom of this volume. Should we really be encouraging 'complete idiots' to try their hand at sticking needles into the nervous systems of others in the name of medicine? Still, it's not quite as worrrying as the announcement of the forthcoming 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Performing Gender-Realignment Surgery'.

Disappointment
18 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
I am looking to understand accupuncture and accupressure without having to suffer through reading text-book style presentations on the subject. Hence my choice of an "Idiot's Guide" book -- I thought it would give me, in layman's terms, a greater understanding of the concepts on which accupuncture and accupressure are based -- kind of a mini-course on the subject. Instead, it focused on what practitioners of these medical arts can do for the patient and what to expect when visiting a practitioner.
While the book does provide descriptions of points that can be stimulated on one's body to alleviate selected conditions as well as visuals in the form of pictures, these are quite limited and not easy to follow.
Also, as I read the book, I was annoyed by the poor editing of the text. Frequent grammatical problems undermine the book's credibility.
Hence my disappointment.

Fascinating
23 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
This is unlike any other book on acupuncture. It is packed with useful information and written in language that everyone can understand. I never knew that acupuncture could be used to treat so many conditions. It is fascinating to me that pain can be successfully treated using acupuncture instead of pain medication. This book was an answer to my prayers. Thank you for writing it.

An outstanding overview with lots of practical information
9 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is just what it should be - a good overview, an excellent survey, with useful information. Information you wouldn't likely see in any one book.
If you're looking for a single book to help you get started - this is a good one for such a purpose.
The depth of material is reasonable, considering that it covers so much and is an overview/survey.
