Capping a career that spans over five decades, Shudo Denmei, a leading teacher and authority on Meridian Therapy in Japan, has compiled 160 case studies that are representative of his practice of acupuncture and moxibustion and reflect the way that his practice has evolved.

Fifty Years of Practice: The Case Studies of Shudo Denmei is written as a guide for acupuncturists at various stages in their own practices. Dr. Shudo shares both his successes and failures, challenges and insights. It is a wide-ranging text, covering topics as varied as psychological and musculoskeletal. He reveals the entire process of his treatments from questioning to palpation diagnosis, and then to point selection and insertion technique.

The case studies are organized by categories of disorders and cover practically every type of condition that can be treated with acupuncture: musculoskeletal, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urogenital, gynecological and others. Based on his deep knowledge of both Western and East Asian medicine, Dr. Shudo discusses the possibilities as well as the limitations of acupuncture and moxibustion. He shares an abundance of knowledge and wisdom with his trademark humor and humanity. This is an inspiring, clinically-oriented memoire of a master practitioner with a lifelong passion for the art of healing.

Review

"A significant part of the readability of Denmei Shudo’s books is the self-effacing charm of his authorial voice. Despite his great skill and experience, he talks to the reader as practitioner to practitioner, without the grandiosity or esotericism to which exponents of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) are prone. In particular, the author is humble and honest about his own limitations, as well as those of acupuncture. This kind of information is clinical gold, especially for less experienced practitioners.

Whether or not you share Denmei Shudo’s approach to acupuncture, his curiosity, diligence, rigour, humility and honesty mark him out as an exceptional practitioner and teacher. In a field such as acupuncture, where the subtlety inherent in the qi paradigm, coupled with the diversity of approaches available make deep understanding challenging, the sheer depth of clinical experience distilled into this text makes this book worthy of attention by all acupuncture practitioners."

—Daniel Maxwell, The Journal of Chinese Medicine

PRICE DOUBLED IN 2 WEEKS
Size: 18 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 18 Count (Pack of 1)
I rescue standard poodles mostly. I also train service dogs. My pack of "poodles" has all sizes and ages. This is not for profit , it is to save lives. Until 2 weeks ago -date now is: 08/17/2022- the price of these were around 20.00. My dogs all loved them. I have a buffet table with lots of storage I use to store the treats and it has room on top for all the treat jars. In the afternoon or evening, they'd get a hard, chewy treat like ears. Standard poodles love to chew . They could finish off one of the ears in minutes. These treats are quiet large and thin. They do smell but they are natural foods. NO WAY can I afford over 40.00 for 18 ears. Did pigs go exttict? Did they quit growing ears? How could They raise the price to cost double the amount? I looked at other ears on Amazon & the other brand i get which starts with a p- has not gone up. Paws- clipping. They have some Bizarre names so guess I'll just double my order for them. I have way too many dogs to give treats to. I want to be fair to all of them. They are my kids & will get the best I can offer. I did wait a few weeks before writting this. I also dropped my Sub & Save with this.
