Bob Flaws is a Master craftsman of Chinese Medicine and an author, editor of over 80 titles on Chinese medicine. I saw a comment saying something like he doesn’t know what he’s writing! Maybe that was written by someone with a grudge!
This book is fabulous! As an Acupuncturist of 33 years, I have looked it up to help my patients for dietary regimes. Highly recommended

Bob Flaws, gotta love him. It's a superficial view but an entertaining read.
