HSCC publications and journals are suitable for:
- Acupuncturists and TCM herbalists preparing to take professional exams;
- Recent graduates of Chinese herbology programs who desire greater clinical experience;
- Experienced practitioners wanting to improve their skills in handling difficult cases;
- Physicians wanting to gain some exposure to TCM herbology.
In general, HSCC publications present basic TCM principles and theory before discussing advanced concepts; readers do not
need to have a knowledge of Chinese language, but are assumed to have some familiarity with basic materia medica and important
classical herbal formulas. TCM terminology is translated into common English terms, and herbs are referenced by both Latin
pharmaceutical and PinYin names.
Years ago, one of Dr. Cheung's articles helped me open up the doors of Chinese Medicine. Since that
time, I have read all of the abstracts, reviews, journals, monographs, and articles that he has published. They continue to
be a guiding light and a constant source of inspiration and valuable information.
--Ron Golden, L.Ac.; San Rafael, California.
Difficult cases, as most of us have discovered, require more than a superficial acquaintance with
the principles of diagnosis and treatment. Ever since the appearance of the Journal of the American College of Traditional
Chinese Medicine in 1981, and through his lectures and many HSCC publications, Dr. Cheung has been given us - and our patients
- practical help by offering access to information available nowhere else. Now with the new Abstract and Review of Clinical
Traditional Chinese Medicine we can benefit from information garnered from many Chinese language clinical journals, synthesized
into problem-centered articles that explore each subject in depth. I wouldn't want to miss a single issue.
--Kathleen Deaton,
L.Ac.; Redwood City, California.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has grown exponentially here in the United States since its legalization
in the 1970's. Since 1979, when I first met Dr. C.S. Cheung and began studying with him, I have watched him guide hundreds
of students toward a deeper understanding of the practice of TCM.
The Abstract and Review of Clinical TCM is a clinician's
reference journal dedicated to translating and publishing the clinical writings of the most respected Chinese physicians practicing
in China today. It is an invaluable resource journal rich in clinical information and experience.
--Brian LaForgia, L.Ac.,
Dipl.Ac.; San Francisco, California.
As clinical practitioners we need information beyond the simple Eight Entities syndromes taught
in school and reiterated in seminars. Dr. Cheung's presentations of complex cases in the Abstract and Review of Clinical TCM
are the American clinician's equivalent of working with an old master. Clinical cases with all their twists and turns and
human errors are discussed in depth. Formulas are analyzed as synergistic components rather than as simple one-herb effects.
--Joan
Kobara, L.Ac., O.M.D.; Palo Alto, California.
I just wanted to let you know that I very much appreciate your publishing the Abstract and Review
of Clinical Tranditional Chinese Medicine. It has been invaluable to me to have access to translated current material. The
case studies are especially useful since this type of material is not readily available. Your work enables me to add depth
to my development in Chinese Medicine. Thank you very much.
--Cecilia Lee, O.M.D., L.Ac.; Oakland, California.
If you are a serious student or practitioner of traditional Chinese herbal health care, the publications
and study guides of C.S. Cheung, M.D., are essential to acquire a high level of clinical knowledge and skill. His presentation
of documented case studies is the next best thing to looking over the shoulder of master herbalists at work. In contrast to
the tidy world of textbook theory, the complexities of illness are presented in a clear and insightful manner, revealing not
only the gratifying successes in difficult cases, but also honest evaluation of the occasional errors from which so much may
be learned.

A QUARTERLY JOURNAL (1991 to 1996 only). C.S. Cheung, M.D., has retired from full-time publishing and translating, but
his reference works and reprinted issues of the journal are still available. These works remain timeless and will be of value
for decades to come.
Clinical success or failure are the Golden Mirror of the past for herbalists of the present and future. This journal is
one of the few TCM journals strongly oriented toward helping the clinical herbalist improve skills and increase effectiveness.
It is weighted toward practical advice and knowledge, and light on abstract speculation and theorizing. Case studies and discussions
of master herbalists, both ancient and modern, clarify the application of textbook theory to real problems.

- Issues are listed in reverse chronological order.
