  1. Of insight, wholeness and understanding - by Nick Dent
    “Insight, the deep apprehension of how a system acts as a whole, the recognition of non–obvious linkages — these need not be the province of only a talented few, as techniques for training these skills exist and have been utilised for centuries.”

  4. Towards a working methodology for translating Chinese medicine - by Dan Bensky, Jason Blalack, Charles Chace and Craig Mitchell

  5. Two cases of vulval pain - by Sue Cochrane
    The incidence of vulval pain is surprisingly high, one estimate is 11% of women experience “vulvar vestibular pain.”
  6. Si Ni San - by Karen Kraft with Craig Mitchell
    Classical formulas can be used for symptoms that can seem to be far removed from the traditional patterns. But it is strange that we no longer notice that ‘inhibited urination’ is a direct indication for Si Ni San in the Shāng Hán Lùn.

    This is the third and concluding part of the translation of Ye Tian–Shi’s Wen Re Lun, a hugely important and seminal text in the development of warm–disease theory.
  8. On wind - by Franz Zehentmayr
    Examines Zhang Yuan-Su’s views on wind, and his treatment of two serious conditions resulting from wind: po shang feng (wind due to a piercing injury) and li feng (strict wind) — which resemble the modern diseases of tetanus and leprosy.
  9. The Yellow Emperor asks about Real People - by Steven Clavey

  15. The latest in Western thinking - reviewed by Brian May
    “This edition...uses illustrations sparingly but includes some good tables and I found the indexing to be comprehensive. For the practitioner, it is a well-respected source of information on contemporary clinical Western medicine.”
  16. Reflections on the sea of qi - reviewed by Steven Clavey
    “It is certainly not an exhaustive study of all the classical occurences of the term ‘qi’, and is more reflective than definitive, but it can provide useful and unusual references for those interested in the background of qi as a concept in China.”
