Chinese Medicine Notes

The First Pages of Julian Scott’s Book

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Yael2 Comments

A few months ago I told you that I have decided to take a course about the treatment of children with Chinese Medicine.
AFter giving it more thought, I have decided that it is not the best thing to do, take a full year’s course, not because it’s not worth it, but more because I am not about to treat children. I just want to know how to help my child a bit more than just hold him when he’s in pain.
So I thought that maybe I should just read about it, at least as a first step. I ordered my copy of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Children, and it’s been 3 weeks now that the book is on my desk, waiting to be read.
In order to make sure that I actually read it, I will try to give you a book report every two weeks and share with you my thoughts, what I have learned, and other wonderful thoughts that enter my brain.

I’m reading the book page by page, although I admit that I’m jumping ahead every now and then to read Julian’s thoughts about issues that are very relevant to our lives now- like cough. Vomitting.
But those who heard Julian talk know that Julian is an excellent teacher, with a very clear structure to his lectures and his books. One thing is based on another, so reading everything in order will help understand everything a whole lot better.
