Product Description

Review
"The articles are all interesting, intelligently and professionally presented... there is much that acupuncturists of all persuasions can gain from this book, including summaries of various studies."Journal of Chinese Medicine No 61, October 1999
Western Pacific Region of the World Organisation has published guidelines for clinical research with acupuncture. It is an extremely important work for this part of the world, and this new publication by Ernst and White joins it as being essential reading for those who include acupuncture, no matter what the form, in their clinical practice."Best Books for 1999 section, Chiropractic Journal of Australia, Volume 29, Number 4, December 1999
is an important book which should be read by any acupuncture practitioner, whatever their theoretical stance may be." "Dr Anthony Campbell MRCP, London, UK"
would recommend the purchase of this book to any serious acupuncture student. The scientific issues are presented well and are deserving of serious study."January 2000

Product Description
Acupuncture: a scientific appraisal takes an evaluative approach, summarising the evidence for acupuncture in an impartial way. An international team of specialist contributors brings a wide range of expertise to the book, drawing together different facets of research and clinical practice to provide a cohesive look at acupuncture today.

The increasing integration of acupuncture into health care services in the west, requires stringent criteria of efficacy, safety and cost in order to provide optimal benefit for patients, at minimal risk. All professionals involved in the delivery of healthcare will find this new book of great interest. The conclusions reached should provide a focus for future debate.

Fully referenced throughout, Acupuncture: a scientific appraisal is an easily accessible, balanced source of information for all practitioners of acupuncture. Healthcare providers, complementary therapists and members of the primary healthcare team will also find this an invaluable purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars No better proof, 27 Jul 2001
This is the book to read for those who have any doubt or who are interested to know the reliability, efficacy and safety of acupuncture as an alternative medicine. This book comprises a collection of six well-documented articles on acupuncture including its history, practice in the West, analgesic effects, effects on the circulatory and immune systems, clinical effectiveness and adverse effects. The authors include well-known practising acupuncturists some of whom are MDs and affiliated to respected institutions such as Harvard Medical School. References to the articles include both recent research from publications such as the Lancet and the British Medical Journal, as well as Chinese traditional medical literature. This book demonstrates clearly how acupuncture, which has developed over some 3000 years, stands up well under scientific appraisal and is a beneficial complement to Western medicine.
