Most Helpful 0 of 0 review helpful A must read By Esk 79 This was not an easy read for a practitioner of Chinese medicine like myself but nevertheless I think it should be on the core reading list of any serious course of Chinese medicine It challenges most if not everything of what we get taught at university and the whole idea of this medicine being traditional It portrays CM as much more lively and complex reality th As a traditional healing art that has established a contemporary global presence Chinese medicine defies many categories and raises many interesting questions If Chinese medicine is traditional why has it not disappeared with the rest of traditional Chinese society If as some claim it is a science what does that imply about what we call science What is the secret to Chinese medicine s remarkable adaptability that has allowed it to prosper for more than 2000 yea Scheid s scholarship is beyond doubt Bernard Ineichen Social History of Medicine There is no doubt that Scheid s work has altered the face of anthropological research into Chinese medicine Vivenne Lo Medical History
