Covers the entire spectrum of Acupuncture with emphasis on the latest discoveries in Advanced Japanese Acupuncture. Excellent introduction on a vast number of treatment modalities. Teaches a workable method of Abdominal Palpitation for Channel Disturbance. Gives wonderful new scientific research on the possible workings of Acupuncture. Provides the non-needle practitioner with a workable and very powerful system which includes the use of Open Points. Dr. C Ledwell OM

Using ideas from chaos, quantum, systems, and information theory (and many more), this book is a truly fresh and much needed perspective on TCM. The X Signal System abandons the causal theory of western biological sciences to answer the questions of TCM and effective treatment, and draws explanations and theories of energy, information exchange, and life from modern physics.

I am a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and am young in the arts, but it is clear that the foundation laid in this book will be used as a framework for western science to gain a new appreciation for Acupuncture.

We have learned much since the Huang Di and his ministers, and now with the help of Manaka, we can focus on effective treatment in modern times, as well as the classics.

As an entry into the possibilities of acupuncture, within and beyond "TCM", this is a great book.

As an entry to understanding a methodical practice of Japanese acupuncture, - a must have.

As a reference for an experienced acupunctutist who is interested in further studies on treatment options, again a must have.

Simply (and not so simply) Brilliant and Exciting!
