Product Description
Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between organ and channel theory can lead to more precise diagnoses and better clinical results. This book is a collaboration between Wang Ju-Yi, one of modern China s most respected scholars, teachers, and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, and his American apprentice and practitioner, Jason Robertson. While most textbooks focus either on the functions of the organs in basic physiology or on the uses of the channels in treatment, this book shows the essential relationships between the two. Theory and practice are connected through a detailed discussion of a channel palpation methodology developed by Dr. Wang, which leads to more precise and effective point selection, location, and technique. Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine was developed during Mr. Robertson s apprenticeship with Dr. Wang in Beijing, and is presented in a unique and highly readable format that preserves the intimacy of dialogue between apprentice and teacher, with questions and answers, narratives, and case studies.

At last, I find it November 23, 2008

Applied Channel Theory is a misleading title for a deeper book. When I bought it I realized It started again chinese medicine theory but, fortunately, in a rather different way than other texts. It is more narrative than academic, and it enters into a profound explanation of physiology with practical implications. The main issue is you notice chinese medicine is not a simple system to apply directly from a course, but you must study a lot: first deep knowledge about human body, after points. Perhaps it is very obvious, but as western doctor I did not find this approach after buying and buying books or listening people explaining chinese medicine in courses, which it is so far long from the five phases or yin-yang. I recommend the book if you are looking for chinese body physiology and stressed concerning of channels employment.
One of the best. November 7, 2008

Quite simply, this book is an underrated classic. One gets the best of both worlds in that it is a true collaborative work between a seasoned and experienced Chinese doctor and his American counterpart. I most appreciate the usage of Mr. Robertson of chinese character analysis in order to dissect the deeper meanings of the concepts being studied.
A treasure.

This is the book I wish I had written!!
It is simply one of the most fascinating and pracitical books on Traditional Chinese medicine to heve emerged in recent years. As Dr Wang himself said to his student and collaborator Jason D Robertson, you should not write "just another boring text book..." And that wish has certainly been fulfilled. This book is an exciting read, that draws together both the wisdom of the classics with current clinical practice. The text is very much alive, written as a conversational dialectic between Dr Wang and Jason D, in the time-honoured tradition of Huang Di and his physician Qi Bo, in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. It addresses and repairs many of holes that the Cultural Revolution blew in Chinese Medicine and firmly 're-embodies' acupuncture energetics within the reality of the channel networks. Well done! Bravo! Gong Xi!
