5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 3D illustration of meridian points and its descrip, March 12, 2001

This review is from: Q-Puncture Acupuncture made simple (CD-ROM)

I've seen numbers of acupuncture books and some softwares but by far, this was the best and easiest tool to learn about acupuncture. You have to see what they did with 3D technology to show the meridian points. Along with 3D illustrations, every point includes sections of "1) Where to find 2) What it does 3) When to use and finally 4) How to needle" I found these features to be the most useful and easy to understand. Other fine features included were, explanation and philosophy of Oriental medicine, demonstrations of 14 channel pathways, and therapeutic effects as well as clinical explanations of commonly diagnosed illnesses. You will find this book&software to be absolutely wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantasic visual tool for students and professionals, alike, April 14, 2001

This review is from: Q-Puncture Acupuncture made simple (CD-ROM)

The visual graphics of Q-Puncture rise above other acupuncture multimedia products. I'm a student of acupunture and I've done a great deal of searching to find tools to assist in my studies. I was so pleased to find Q-Puncture. The software includes beautifully designed 3-D animation for needle incertion and graphics that are visually stimulating and quick in locating points and pathways. I also liked the fact that Q-Puncture included OM diagnosis and even Western Medical references. Where I used to put tabs on my text books to help me save time in finding specific information, now it's just a click of a mouse! It's easy to use and packed with the acupuncture information needed to study for the California Licensing Board (the most challenging exam of its kind in the US). I highly recommend adding Q-Puncture to your study materials, as well as, a reference tool for your office.

This review is from: Q-Puncture Acupuncture made simple (CD-ROM)

I purchased this product while in school. Many of the questions were wrong and the point pictures were not in the actual place. It was so bad that many students at my school had to return it. I tried to return the product to the creator and he wanted me to go through the hundreds of questions to find out which one were incorrect. I even verified the question through the book he wrote and the required MSOM text. The 1st (CD)software that I purchased would not even download to my computer. I had to be sent the info via e-mail from the company for the initial download. For almost $200 and many incorrect answers this software was not worth it.I wasted alot of money and time on this product and was not effective in passing or studying for the boards. I would check out other test prep software. I took the BIOMED and none of the questions were on the boards or close to it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
