Getting to Know You

Dr. Joe Helms is the father of medical acupuncture in America. I've been enthusiastically recommending his work to physicians and patients for almost thirty years. In his new book he combines the ancient art of acupuncture with his extensive experience in treating illnesses and observing human behavior. The result is a practical guide that can help anyone have better health. -Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and Mother-Daughter Wisdom Dr. Helms has long been the premier educator of physicians in the art of medical acupuncture. In this book he shows how acupuncture can make sense of much of what goes wrong with us-even at te earliest signs of disturbance-and help us in our medical decisions. Getting to Know You is the premier source for the thinking public to understand and integrate acupuncture into their personal health care. -Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Healing and Healthy Aging Joe Helms describes an approach to health and disease where there is no division between the mind and the body. Each chapter made me more enthusiastic about insights from the acupuncture tradition and how I can help myself to be healthier, even without needle. I found out more about myself, my family, and my friends by reading this book than I could have ever imagined. I think all patients and physicians will benefit from this time-honored perspective. -Kenneth Pelletier, PhD, MD, author of Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer and The Best Alternative Medicine
