The clinical handbook of internal medicine is a truly useful clinical reference. It contains a wealth of information and clinical tips relevant to the practice of Chinese medicine in the western world. The authors have considered differences in diet and other lifestyle factors between Western and Chinese patients in their analysis of disease presentations and their solutions. The herbal section is comprehensive and has insights into commonly seen clinical variations not considered in other works (to my knowledge). Its compact size makes it easy to carry around and its clear layout makes finding the relevant information easy. Some more information on acupuncture points and protocols would improve it, however, the authors comment that internal medicine is the province of herbal medicine is fair. I can't wait for the second volume (when is it due?).

The information in this book has improved my understanding of the problems patients present with and what I can do about them. It's easy to access and matches what I see in clinic. A great addition to my clinic library and thoroughly recommended.

This is a wonderful guide for students of Chinese Medicine who may need another perspective while learning this art! Very useful, eagerly awaiting the second volume to come.
