Where's the beef????,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Neuro-Acupuncture, Volume 1: Neuroscience Basics (Hardcover)
As an acupuncturist with a special interest in neurologically related conditions (autism, stroke, learning disabled) I was very excited to finally purchase this volume. However, once I opeened it up I was greatly disappointed. There is 5% acupuncture-related material combined with 95% neurology 101, and almost never do the twain ever meet. Basically, they took a basic college text book on neurology and then threw in a little 1st semester acupuncture, and then simply state aloud that there are theories (mind you, they are talking about acupuncture theories, not hard research, which show state that certain acupuncture points can be beneficial for neurologically-related issues. Well, I already learned about those points in school. I didn't need to spend over $60 to hear those re-iterated. I thought this was going to be a book which laid out theory and research which show that the fields are getting in tune with one another. Instead, I paid top money for a fair text book, and a worse acuupuncture primer. If you are interested in this topic I suggest you actually look into some of the papers that have been published, particularly in China, on this very interesting topic.

Good stuff but neuro-acupuncture?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Neuro-Acupuncture, Volume 1: Neuroscience Basics (Hardcover)
This book kicks... if you want a crash course in neurology and neuro-anatomy. The pictures and wording is great for those of us with just a rudimentary knowledge of axons and dendrites. As for acupuncture though, I didn't feel like the book had a quality tie in with the two subjects. It was almost like he threw in info on acupuncture just at the end and he only explained what some mechanisms COULD be. If you are gonna make a book on neuro-acupuncture, show the studies of what it does. They are out there you just gotta use them.
