On one hand I think this book is great because it's philosophy is based on holistic health - the total approach for health, which is fabulous. There is a subtle (and sometimes blatant) underlying theme of balancing the mind and body. Additionally there is an underlying theme of self-care, which generates interest because the Western approach to medicine usually strictly focuses on the body only and correcting health with strictly medicine.
On the other hand, I found this book to be extremely dry at times. Sometimes I lost focused and had to keep re-reading certain passages. Some textbooks I can read from cover to cover and keep an interest. Sadly, this was not one of those books. Generally, I find healthcare to be a fascinating topic, but there are some dry aspects to healthcare, so I didn't want to ding the book based on that. If I could, I would give the book 3.5 stars, not quite a 3, but not quite a 4 either.

Useful information. The new edition is more up to date but the basic knowledge is clearly stated in this book.
