5.0 out of 5 stars Acupuncture without Needles, May 31, 2000

By 

Gail E. Hogsten (Tifton,Ga.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Acupuncture Without Needles (Paperback)

First - I'm not Gail, I'm her husband, Bill. I got my first issue of this book in 1981 and have not been without it since. To say that the information is dated is true, but Chinese medicine is thousands of years old and still widely used throughout the the world. The pressure points and ailments have not changed as humanity has evolved, therefore being "dated" does not truely apply to this book. Every time I use the ABC program I am amazed. I've mainly used it on my wife for lower back problems and a bi-polar disorder, but over the years we have used it for many ailments. It's even more astonishing that my fingers can accomplish what medical chemistry does - but without the side effect. However we still do as the book suggests - about always consulting your family doctor. This book is as much a part of my first aid kit or medicine cabinet as a bandaid or asprin. I have read and purchased several books on acupressure, many are very good but I always come back to this one as my standard. The copy I have now is worn and torn, time to buy a new one. Thanks Amazon for having it on your list.

J. V. Cerney does a great job of making acupuncture benefits available at home with his system of Acupressure. It uses fingertip pressure in place of needles for locating and stimulating acupuncture points. The abundant illustrations are clear, and the text is well written. Cerney provides a steady stream of case histories which elucidate and encourage

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for cures, October 17, 2008

I follow this book alongside Michael Reed Gach's book, for proper locations of the points, because in JV Cerney's book, it's sometimes difficult to find the acupuncture pts. On my first day of trying the pts. suggested in the book, I worked my pts. for the lung meridian, the next day I was coughing up mucous and phlegm. I love this book. I find out where I am having problems in my body. Love it!
