Critics Review
A thoughtful book! One wishes that more Chinese medicine practitioners engaged in such musings about how translation and crosscultural exchange affect clinical practice. – C. Pierce Salguero, Professor of Asian History & Health Humanities, Penn State University
In 23 years of practice this is the first book I’ve seen that addresses EDS from a TCM view. It provides the knowledge to recognize and understand this often misdiagnosed illness and the tools to formulate treatment plans for EDS sufferers. Highly recommended reading. – Michael Arsenault, Lic. Ac, founder of Emily Skin Soothers Inc
Dr. Bruno has expertly interwoven her passion and understanding of Chinese medicine to discuss the rare disorder Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, or specifically, Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). It is easy for a scientist to dismiss this literature, given that it does not adhere to traditional viewpoints of western modern medicine. But as an academic and allopathic practitioner, I do encourage readers of all academic backgrounds to read this book. Dr. Bruno not only demonstrates her knowledge of the pathophysiology and history, but she also models cultural sensitivity when comparing existing practices with Chinese approaches and spirituality. This is a remarkable and thought-provoking book! – Dr. Chia Fu, immunologist and public health communicator
