H. Asbury said An Intriguing and Valuable Entry in the Chinese Medicine Literature. For those who are familiar with Dr. Leon Hammer's massive tome on Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis, there are pulses that point to patterns that were advanced by Dr. Hammer's long-time teacher Dr. John H.F. Shen. Dr. Shen's patterns, being distinct in various respects from standard TCM patterns and at the very least raise the question: If I accept that this pattern exists, then just as importantly, how do I deal with this?

An invaluable source for the clinical herbologist bryan John Shen has long been acknowledged as one of the premier sources of information concerning Chinese Medicine in the 20th century. Like so many of the greats, his was primarily an oral tradition. His long suffering apprentice then equal, Leon Hammer M.D., has organized and distilled some of his greatest formulas. In my opinion, this is the best organized of all of Dr. Hammer's books, and well complex and subtle, it is not quite as overwehlming as his previous book on Pulse Diagnosis. It is simply a "must have" addition to any practicioner of Chinese medicine, and is especially valuable to those of us who are also M.D.. Fantastic book ! A great book for practitioners who have studied Dr. Shen's pulse system. The herbal formulas and theory are very clinically useful. The diagnostics and etiology of disease is very clear and practical. Much thanks to Dr. Leon Hammer and Dragon Rises organization for keeping this lineage alive. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in chinese herbal medicine and diagnosis.[]
