Reviews
<p> One of the distinguishing traits of the book, and evidence of excellent design, is its structure, which manages to be both rational and intuitive. The book presupposes a graduate level understanding of Chinese medicine and a basic understanding of biomedicine. For?someone with that level of training, Treating Autoimmune Disease with Chinese Medicine is an eminently usable book and should be a treasured addition to a working library. <p>The American Acupuncturist, Fall 2011

<p> All consultants to a natural medicine clinic in the US, Hou, Guangpi Xu (both Nanjing U. of Traditional Chinese Medicine), and Hunjie Wang (Shandong U. of Medicine) explain in great detail how Chinese doctors use traditional medicine to treat patients with various autoimmune diseases. Among them are systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, and Sjgren's syndrome. Introductory chapters review basic immunology and immune system disorders, and Chinese medicine and the role of yin deficiency in autoimmune diseases. The information is intended to be useful to practitioners in Chinese or Western medicine. <p>- Book News, Inc.
