It is packed with useful information and written in language that everyone can understand. I never knew that acupuncture could be used to treat so many conditions. It is fascinating to me that pain can be successfully treated using acupuncture instead of pain medication. This book was an answer to my prayers. Thank you for writing it.

I have been suffering with the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome and thought that my only relief could come from surgery. Reading this book gave me the information I needed and led me to seek acupuncture treatment as an alternative to surgery. I am happy to say "it works!" Mr. Sollars book is also loaded with some great self help techniques. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in alternative health care.

Information you wouldn't likely see in any one book. <br /> <br />If you're looking for a single book to help you get started - this is a good one for such a purpose. <br /> <br />The depth of material is reasonable, considering that it covers so much and is an overview/survey. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 This book is just what it should be – a good overview, an excellent survey, with useful information.

Hence my choice of an "Idiot's Guide" book -- I thought it would give me, in layman's terms, a greater understanding of the concepts on which accupuncture and accupressure are based -- kind of a mini-course on the subject. Instead, it focused on what practitioners of these medical arts can do for the patient and what to expect when visiting a practitioner. <br /> <br />While the book does provide descriptions of points that can be stimulated on one's body to alleviate selected conditions as well as visuals in the form of pictures, these are quite limited and not easy to follow. <br /> <br />Also, as I read the book, I was annoyed by the poor editing of the text. Frequent grammatical problems undermine the book's credibility. <br /> <br />Hence my disappointment.
