Although Master Tung's Acupuncture has been in the public domain since his untimely passing in 1975, very little information is available publicly on how to use the system in a practical and systematic way in English. In this book, I hope to guide my fellow colleagues into the intricacies of applying Master Tung Acupuncture in the clinic. Since I am also a practicing acupuncturist and deal with pain, women's health, and internal medicine problems quite frequently, I am sharing my clinical experience in this book and the "secret" of creating the protocols that I use daily, with modification. I also attempt to explain why I choose a particular protocol and the modification to it. In this book, I introduce what I consider the "Best" of Master Tung's Acupuncture. There are many books on Master Tung's Acupuncture which introduce all of the 740 Tung family points. but often these books may be too much for the beginner and do not let the beginner grasp useful concepts or how to use Master Tung's Acupuncture immediately and effectively. Most acupuncturists simply add the Tung points to their already memorized TCM Acupuncture point prescriptions, and as a result, make a mess out of their acupuncture. They do not have a simple and elegant rationale for using the system. In my teaching of Master Tung's Acupuncture, I always choose points that are painless, easily accessible, and have powerful immediate results.

This book is a Primer, an introduction of the quintessential basics. Something that a person who has not attended my seminars could read quickly, and immediately familiarize themselves with the core concepts, imaging, channel methods, have a few "go-to" points, and immediately apply the magic of Master Tung's Acupuncture in the clinic. It is not exhaustive in theory, details, or intricacies, but shows the power of the system to a TCM trained acupuncturist and immediately benefit by it. When I first started working with Master Tung's Acupuncture in acupuncture school, I read the available books of that time and wished there was a simple book to present the information. Since the average acupuncturist already is familiar with over 400 points, why scrap that and begin another system? But in the way I wrote this Primer, they can simply add to the information they have and then immediately apply this in the clinic. There are many books on Master Tung's Acupuncture, but often these books may be too much for the beginner and do not let the beginner grasp useful concepts or how to use Master Tung's Acupuncture. But don't underestimate the power of the content of this book. It will certainly transform your practice. The idea of this book is to give you a simple and elegant rationale for using the system., use the powerful 14 Channel acupuncture you are already familiar with, and make use of the Master Tung system immediately.

Feng Shui is not all about tradition. The integration and harmony between the natural and built environments concerning modern architecture has long been discussed in Feng Shui, or more academically, Kan Yu. Based on Scientific Feng Shui for the Built Environment: Fundamentals and Case Studies published in 2011, this enhanced new edition has further taken into account the enhancements and new inputs in theories and applications. Emphasis is placed on two themes, sustainability and science. New case studies regarding sustainable design as viewed from a Feng Shui perspective, and integrated applications of different architectural models and their associations with Feng Shui concepts are added and elaborated. On science, other than exploring the new development of particle physics in relation to Feng Shui studies, a totally new approach to numerology and Luo Shu study based on modern linear algebra may bring readers new insight into the possibility of researching Feng Shui mathematically, in addition to the use of spherical trigonometry. This book offers a remarkable in-depth view of Feng Shui by integrating the historical theories with scientific explorations and examples of applications. It once again demonstrates that Feng Shui can be studied scientifically, and eventually scientific Feng Shui may become a new field of science in the academic world as well as a professional and orthodox discipline of architectural design for the built environment.

In this book, I use a lot of standard acupuncture points along with Master Tung's acupuncture and emphasize the use of channels and imaging for optimal clinical use. If a practitioner can use this work, they can have a turnkey approach in the clinic, simply by implementing these acupuncture and herbal protocols. The idea is for each disease, I have installed "cheat sheets" for the practitioner to immediately refer to and try to insert needles and prescribe herbs for. The fifth in the series of Master Tung's Acupuncture books, the idea is for someone to start with the Master Tung's Primer, The Best of Master Tung's Acupuncture, Master Tung's Acupuncture for Pain, and Master Tung's Acupuncture for Internal Medicine Disorders. With this manual, we will discuss the use of Master Tung's Acupuncture with herbals for even greater clinical success. The book is composed of monographs on each disease, best points to treat the problem, and high percentage success herbal prescriptions to give the patient as homework. Unique is that we only use a handful of both TCM and Master Tung points, and a small amount of herbal formulas for a turnkey approach to a clinic. This can be used as a roadmap for the new clinician, improve clinical success for the intermediate practitioner, or provide an alternative approach for the seasoned veteran.

In this book, I hope to guide my fellow colleagues into the intricacies of Chinese Medicine Traumatology and the use of Master Tung's Acupuncture in Acute Care, and share the principles and concepts that make it a highly useful in the clinical setting. I discuss here the principles and concepts that are used in the clinic and practical use to the Licensed Acupuncturist who is also studied in Chinese Herbal Medicine. The Chinese Martial Artist will also like my approach, as I give the background on the herbology of Dit Da (Traumatology), the composition of formulas, discuss many famous remedies and their constitution, teach to make your own custom Rx's, and use common patents for acute care, and in addition, use classical and Master Tung's Acupuncture. This has not been done before by any Tung practitioner. The book is extensively done in Pin Yin and Chinese characters to help practitioners new to the subject to be able to cross reference the herbals in other books. There are thousands of prescriptions for Traumatology and Orthopedics and after studying the subject for over 30 years and reading major books on the subject in Chinese, I distilled the essentials and approached the work in a practical straightforward manner to use clinically on a daily basis. It is hoped that the reader can use these principles and concepts here and achieve amazing results in his or her practice, as these are what I use in my own practice daily with amazing results!

Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295749013 At first glance, medicine and poison might seem to be opposites. But in China’s formative era of pharmacy (200–800 CE), poisons were strategically employed as healing agents to cure everything from abdominal pain to epidemic disease. Healing with Poisons explores the ways physicians, religious figures, court officials, and laypersons used toxic substances to both relieve acute illnesses and enhance life. It illustrates how the Chinese concept of du—a word carrying a core meaning of “potency”—led practitioners to devise a variety of methods to transform dangerous poisons into effective medicines. Recounting scandals and controversies involving poisons from the Era of Division to the Tang, historian Yan Liu considers how the concept of du was central to how the people of medieval China perceived both their bodies and the body politic. He also examines the wide range of toxic minerals, plants, and animal products used in classical Chinese pharmacy, including everything from the herb aconite to the popular recreational drug Five-Stone Powder. By recovering alternative modes of understanding wellness and the body’s interaction with foreign substances, this study cautions against arbitrary classifications and exemplifies the importance of paying attention to the technical, political, and cultural conditions in which substances become truly meaningful. Healing with Poisons is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem) and the generous support of the University of Buffalo.
