About this product

Product Information

Why can salamanders grow new legs, and young children grow new finger tips, but adult humans can't regenerate? What is the electricity that flows through the human body? Is it the same thing that the Chinese call Qi? If so, what does Chinese medicine know, that western medicine ignores? Dan Keown's highly accessible, witty, and original book shows how western medicine validates the theories of Chinese medicine, and how Chinese medicine explains the mysteries of the body that western medicine largely ignores. He explains the generative force of embryology, how the hearts of two people in love (or in scientific terms `quantum entanglement') truly beat as one, how a cheating heart is also an ill heart (which is why men are twice as likely to die of a sudden heart attack with their mistress than with their wife), how neural crest cells determine our lifespan, and why Proust's madeleines evoked the memories they did. The book shows how the theories of western and Chinese medicine support each other, and how the integrated theory enlarges our understanding of how bodies work on every level. Full of good stories and surprising details, Dan Keown's book is essential reading for anyone who has ever wanted to know how the body really works.

Insightful
Dr Daniel Keown, while studying acupuncture, realised that the points correlated to foetal development nodes and when he told the teacher, he said to write a book, so Dr Keown did. Dr Keown explains to the western reader,some of the enigmatic teachings of acupuncture and it relates to fascia, and the piezoelectric planes in the body. I had this as a Kindle but frankly, had to get the hard copy, it's a marvelous reference book. Highly recommend!
