A New American Acupuncture : Acupuncture Osteopathy : The Myofascial Release of the Bodymind's

Rating:
Summary: The worst acupuncture book I have ever seen.
Review: I did agree with Mark's view of acupuncture. His way will kill and hurt the patient than helping the patient. You will find non scientific approach and poor explanation throughout the text. He is not a qualified treating any patient.

Rating:
Summary: Every acupuncturist and bodyworker should read this book
Review: I have every one of Dr. Seem's books. As a registered nurse with 30 years of experience and a Zen Shiatsu therapist to boot, I can recommend his books without hesitation. Every though Dr. Seem is an acupuncturist, he (whether he knows it or not) is also a master bodyworker. All his work has been proven to be beneficial not only by Dr. Seem but by others in the field.

Summary: Outstanding book
Review: In response to the previous critique of Mark Seem by "Jane Austen," I would like to mention that Dr. Seem is an outstanding practitioner with well over 20 years of clinical experience in treating patients with acupuncture. I have used a similar approach of combining modern trigger point techniques with classical acupuncture and have had tremendous success. I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and have received additional training in China. I find Dr. Seem's critique of the TCM acupuncture is highly accurate. For those who are used to only the TCM methods of acupuncture, I recommend any of Mark Seems books. If you want something that is immediately useful in the clinic, start with this book. "Jane Austen's" critique of Mark Seem betrays her own clinical ignorance. His protocols are safe and effective. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: New Perspectives Good, and Traditionally Based
Review: Mark Seem is a Ph.D. scientist. His view point of acupuncture is all his own bias. I hope he can stop fooling patients by selling his own view of skewed therapy. It is very dangerous!!

Rating:
Summary: an important work
Review: Mark Seem's book is a comprehensive guide to using acupuncture in the treatment of myofascial pain. Being an acupuncturist and TCM practitioner (having done part of my training in China) I agree with Dr Seem's views on the herbalisation of acupuncture completely. Jane Austin's review I find frankly silly, and would not be surprised if it was simply a plant from a rival author intent on bringing down this books averages. This is a definite 5 star book and a must read for any acupuncturist who wants to help their patients get out of pain as quickly and efficiently as possible.
