The book presupposes a graduate level understanding of Chinese medicine and a basic understanding of biomedicine. For someone with that level of training, Treating Autoimmune Disease with Chinese Medicine is an eminently usable book and should be a treasured addition to a working library.”The American Acupuncturist, Fall 2011
