Karen -
In 1971, Dr. Tsay received his medical degree in Taiwan, he then specialized in acupuncture for another 3 years. In 1982, he came to the U.S. to study clinical pathology at John Hopkins Medical School. He taught for many years at the New England School of Acupuncture in Watertown, MA. He maintains a private practice in Brookline, MA.
I have met many of his patients who felt that his acupuncture treatments had helped them tremendously, often helping them with problems when Western doctors could not relieve their pain.
In this book, he describes many of the treatments that he has developed and used over his many years of practice.
One of the most interesting chapters in the book is chapter 5 - The Point Through Point Therapeutics. Here Dr. Tsay uses one needle to needle two points, such as TW 23 through GB 8 for treating persistent migraine headaches; LI 4 though PC 8 for numbness or pain in the fingers; and GB 34 through SP 9 for persistent pain in the knee. I found some of these point prescriptions similar to those taught by Dr. Tong.
Chapter 6 is another interesting chapter - the Assemble Points Therapeutics - a method of combining two or more points in a group for enhancing the therapeutic effect.
Chapter 7 - Practical Scalp Acupuncture Therapeutics - here he describes how to treat many common problems (such as asthma, stomachaches, impotence) by needling points on the scalp.
