Is this wise? by Wayne Redhart (West Midlands, UK)  5 Stars
July 25, 2007
While I admire many other books in the series (particularly the volume on satanic love-making techniques) I was a little concerned by the wisdom of this volume. Should we really be encouraging 'complete idiots' to try their hand at sticking needles into the nervous systems of others in the name of medicine? Still, it's not quite as worrrying as the announcement of the forthcoming 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Performing Gender-Realignment Surgery'.

Disappointment by N. Bilokonsky  1 Stars
February 18, 2007
I am looking to understand accupuncture and accupressure without having to suffer through reading text-book style presentations on the subject. 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.
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.
Also, as I read the book, I was annoyed by the poor editing of the text. Frequent grammatical problems undermine the book's credibility.
Hence my disappointment.

Great Introduction by Kathleen Koulogianis (Fairfield, CT)  4 Stars
June 25, 2006
If you know nothing about Acupuncture or Acupressure and are considering treatment this book is a great introduction. Although it talks about Acupressure more than Acupuncture the pressure points are the same for both methods. It talks about the most common issues people seek treatment for, explains what to expect on your first visit, and the basic science behind this ancient form of treatment. I highly recommend it for people who are considering this treatment and have no experience with it.

not as excepted by Janet Banman  2 Stars

this book talks more about acupressure and how to use it but does not go into that much depth for accupunture.
