Bob Flaws Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Mezi ženami v reprodukčním věku je endometrióza jednou z nejčastějších příčin neplodnosti. Celkově se odhaduje, že endometrióza je příčinou neplodnosti v 15-20% případů. Tato kniha čtenářům vysvětlí, proč jsou v současné době potíže s plodností tak časté a odhalí příčiny podílející se na vzniku endometriózy. Čtenáři se dozví, jak k tomuto tématu přistupuje tradiční čínská medicína. V knize najdou také kapitoly speciálně zaměřené na prevenci, dietu, cvičení a relaxační terapie, které povedou k vytouženému cíli. Podle českých statistik trpí u nás endometriózou kolem 250 000 žen - u 30 - 50 % z nich způsobuje endometrióza neplodnost. Konvenční metody léčení jsou někdy dosti drastické (operačních zákroky, předepisování antidepresiv) a jejich účinnost je často neuspokojivá. Tato kniha je „manuál první pomoci“.

Chinese doctors have used pulse diagnosis as one of their four main methods of diagnosis for at least 2,000 years. Even today, this art is integral to the correct identification of traditional Chinese medical patterns. Although most practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine talk about the importance of the pulse in their practice, few practitioners in the West truly feel competent in this art. In this book, Bob Flaws, one of the most famous Western practitioners of Chinese medicine, shares his secret for learning how to do Chinese pulse diagnosis. Bob has identified a single key secret technique which will unlock Chinese pulse diagnosis for everyone who applies it. Using this technique, anyone can feel the 27 or 28 classical pulses.

The 14 secrets of longevity of the Qing Dynasty Emperor, Qian Long, cover all aspects of living long and healthy life. This book offers Qian Long's sage advice on the role of diet, exercise, relaxation, emotions, sex, and environment in achieving long life and good health.

This book describes the step-by-step process of composing a TCM herbal formula. It describes a simple, straight- forward methodology of moving from disease diagnosis to pattern discrimination to treatment principles and, from there, to choosing a guiding formula and modifying it with additions and subtractions to make it more perfectly fit each individual patient. This book fills in much that is left unsaid by other books on Chinese medicine and formulas and clarifies what other authors have left obscure. In China, the information in this book is absorbed by osmosis in supervised clinical practice under mentors with decades of experience. Therefore, most Chinese books do not feel it necessary to explain all this information. The second half of the book is devoted to discussing approximately 150 variations of the formula, Si Wu Tang (Four Materials Decoction), in the light of the material presented in the first half.

My Sister the The Diagnosis & Treatment of Menstrual Diseases by Traditional Chinese Medicine is the most thorough source on Chinese medicine patterns involved in gynecology. The information helps to disentangle the complexity of PMS patterns. Although mostly devoted to herbal medicine, there are brief lists of acupuncture points for many of the menstrual conditions discussed. Author Bob Flaws refers to the 18th century text The Golden Mirror of Medicine, which gives a variety of jing xing (i.e. menstrual movement) disorders which can occur before or during menstruation.

Chinese dietary therapy is one of the most important aspects of Chinese medicine. The Tao of Healthy Eating illuminates the theory and practice of Chinese dietary therapy with emphasis on the concerns and attitudes of Westerners. Commonsense metaphors explain basic Chinese medical theories and their application in preventive and remedial dietary therapy. It features a clear description of the Chinese medical understanding of digestion and all the practical implications of this day-to-day diet. Issues of Western interest are discussed, such as raw versus cooked foods, high cholesterol, food allergies, and candidiasis. It includes the Chinese medical descriptions of 200 Western foods and similar information on vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

This book was the first English language translation of a complete Chinese clinical manual on TCM gynecology and obstetrics. It was the textbook for the OB-GYN class at the Zhejiang College of Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou, PRChina. It covers the disease causes and mechanisms and the pattern discrimination treatment for 35 commonly encountered complaints. The book is divided into five sections: 1) menstrual diseases, 2) abnormal vaginal discharge diseases, 3) gestational & birthing diseases, 4) postpartum diseases, and 5) miscellaneous diseases. Because Chinese gynecology in China means treatment via the internal administration of Chinese herbs, all the treatments in this book are herbal ones. If one wants to buy a single book covering all of Chinese gynecology in an introductory, survey fashion, this is the book to buy.
