Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a “congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality.” In this comprehensive and ground-breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healer’s effective and profound respect for individual integrity and energetic balance. Explaining, and moving beyond, the five phase (element) system, he shows that this Eastern practice is as much a spiritual science as a physical one.

Accessible to the layman, yet a resource for the professional in any healing art, this book examines the natural energy functions of the human organism as a key to mental, emotional and spiritual health. It offers new insight into disease, showing how it is not merely an invasion from the outside, but rather a byproduct of a person’s unsuccessful attempt to restore one’s own balance.

Suit looks great for fun formal events
Size: X-Large, Color: Green
The style and fit are great. I did notice a white thread in the shoulder poking out. I used a marker to darken it so it was not noticeable but other than that this suit really looks great. We have a music event in a couple of weeks that I am wearing this to and think it will delight as a sharp but different. I was also happy that it did not require alterations, sleeve length was on spot and everything fit great (XL) also this is a slim fit but I am not that slim and it fit nicely on me. As long as it doesn't disintegrate during the event I will consider this money well spent.

Good fit
Size: XX-Large, Color: Champagne
Fit was nice. Pants were a tad bit snug, but the elastic waistline made them doable. Jacket was a perfect fit, just wish I could have pick my waist size..
