This review is from: Acupuncture: Is It for You? (Paperback)

J.R. Worsley offers his 30+ years of experience practicing and teaching acupuncture with the down to earth charm of an English gentleman. Worsley conveys the essence and beauty of this natural medicine as well as his profound understanding of human nature and how illness affects us all. If you are thinking about trying acupuncture or have been in treatment for a while and have questions about acupuncture, this book is for you. Mackay Rippey, M.Ac., L.Ac.

1.0 out of 5 stars If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ..., May 29, 2006

This review is from: Acupuncture: Is It for You? (Paperback)

If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ... it probably has a lot of quack in it. Worsley and his entire legacy have given us a distorted view on TCM. A white man's view to be totally honest, right down to hugely over analysing a construct which he clearly did not understand, he basically couldn't have understood. If you want to waste your time with guesses and questionable lineage, go to J.R. If you want to get the truth, get the 15$ Chinese books with something valid to say.
