The User's Manual is a transformative guide to the principles of
Traditional Chinese Medicine for the 21st century, showing how
these differ from those underlying Western medicine, what that
means in practice and how we can help our bodies to heal themselves
and thereby achieve a longer, healthier life. Books about TCM tend
to be thousands of years old, very detailed and without reference
to contemporary scientific knowledge. As a former computer
engineer, Alex Wu draws parallels between the way a computer
functions and the functioning of the human body in order to
interpret the key concepts within Chinese medicine so that they
become significantly easier to understand for today's readers. As
he explains, Chinese medicine provides a dramatically different
point of view to that of Western medicine, in particular its
foundation belief that the body has a powerful self-healing system
that must be nurtured and encouraged, not stifled with
symptom-suppressing treatments. Taking the simple examples of gout,
psoriasis, the common cold and today's obesity epidemic, the author
explores the TCM and conventional medical approaches, showing how
promoting body energy and self-healing can resolve the `incurable'.
Alex Wu says: `Many readers have used the simple methods described
in this book to achieve a healthy lifestyle and thereby improve
their health within a short time... Modern medicine has not made
significant advances in many chronic conditions for many years. It
may be that the problem stems from its basic philosophy.' Here is
an opportunity to look at health and medicine from a completely
different point of view.
