Editorial Reviews

From the Author

For several years I specialized almost entirely in the treatment of female infertility. Because of this, I found myself constantly digging out answers for my Western patients from the Chinese journal literature. Huge strides have been made in the People's Republic of China in the treatment of this particular disease. It's modern treatment is considerably different from its traditional treatment, since modern Chinese doctors typically coordinate their prescriptions with each woman's menstrual cycle and use Western laboratory tests and physical exams to assess and modify treatment. Therefore, there is a huge body of specialized literature and outcome studies available on the latest advances in the treatment of female infertility. As a practitioner, I knew I could not do a professionally adequate job for my patients without access to this literature. Therefore, I felt it was my obligation to share this information with other Western practitioners. Female infertility can be a heart-wrenching condition for everyone involved. If this book helps even one family have a baby when previously they were not able, then all the time and energy I put into its creation will have been well worthwhile.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fulfilling the Essence: The Handbook of Traditional & Contemporary Chinese Treatments for Female Infertility (Paperback)
Definitly not worth the money. I thought it was poorly written and really did not have any new informatin in it that was not in any of my basic text books. Quite disappointed.
