This book is an introduction to the Tong family style of non-channel acupuncture. This system is believed to predate the Nei Jing (Inner Classic) and was kept alive over the centuries in Shandong Province. When Dr. Tong was forced to move to Taiwan in 1949, he decided to break with family tradition and openly publish what had been till then jealously guarded family secrets. This clinically efficacious system is based on the use of 23 points per treatment. It contains the locations, indications, and needling instructions of this system's unique repertoire of points with extensive commentary and case histories on their use by the famous contemporary Californian acupuncturist, Miriam Lee. Lee has been using this system with excellent results for more than three decades.

From the Publisher
We let this book go out of print for a couple of years because Miriam Lee had retired and no one was actively teaching this alternative system of acupuncture. However, in the last year or so, Richard Tan has begun offering seminars on this system throughout the United States. Therefore, due to the repeated requests of Dr. Tan's many students, we decided to put this book back into print. Happily, Dr. Tan graciously consented to write a Preface for this new edition.

Horribly Flawed,

This review is from: Master Tong's Acupuncture: An Ancient Alternative Style in Modern Clinical Practice (Paperback)
Unfortunately, this is the best book out there on the subject. But not for long... Master Tong's student, Yang Wei Jie is currently publishing his own book in English. He has already written many in Chinese. Besides the errors in point location in this book, the biggest problem is that it fails to convey the system that Master Tong used to choose his points. That's to be expected, since this is basically a translation of Master Tong's first book. Master Tong did not explain his system to his students until after that book was written. So, if you want to learn the system by which you can choose and find and create your own points for whoever walks into your clinic, wait for another book! Either Yang Wei Jie's, or one that has yet to be written on the clinical use of the system by someone else like Dr. Robert Chu.

This review is from: Master Tong's Acupuncture: An Ancient Alternative Style in Modern Clinical Practice (Paperback)
the surprise for me was that this book covers mostly non-standard points (with some overlap at points like ST 36 and LR 3). This makes it a bit more difficult to integrate with my current treatment strategies, but offers a new approach to consider for some difficult patients. I like that each time I have needled these points there has been a definate 'da qi' sensation, also the advice about needling mainly on one side for most treatments (which I follow 80 % of the time now in my clinic)

HI I am a licensed acupuncturist in NYC. I practice for over 14 years and do almost Mr. Tungs style exclusively now, for about 3 years.
I have about 6 to 10 books on Master Tung and I can honestly say that I still refer to Miriam Lee's book on Master Tung. This book does not say much about style guide lines but it is a good point energetics and applications book. Additionally it is supplemented with lots of detailed personal testimonials and stories. I would recommend this book for someone who already owns Dr. Young's or Dr. Chu's book. Mark http://www.newyorkacupuncturecenter.com/tung_acupuncture.html
