3.0 out of 5 stars Very technical read for a patient!, October 12, 2005

By	Pamela Lawrence "Pam" (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a compilation of case studies. It is a technical read for a patient of acupucture going through IVF. There is a ton of valuable information in this book, it's just very hard to get through it if you aren't trained to decifer all the lingo. For a doc, I'm sure it's an easy read!

4.0 out of 5 stars informative, December 16, 2008

I gave this gift to a friend who is an acupuncturist. He really loved it. He uses it as a reference when treating patients. I would not buy it for a woman wanting to try acupuncture for fertility - too clinical.
