"What the author has accomplished with this text is opening new doors on new horizons and perspectives for Chinese medicine. In his mind and in his clinical practice, he has deconstructed the core principles of channel/network vessel and viscera/bowel theory, and rethought them in an original way. ...He examines not only the physical symptoms of his patients, but also their dream-world, thoughts, and aspirations, Using teachings rooted in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, he has reframed these teachings on channels and vessels as "stages, levels, and envelopes," in a bold venture that aims to connect mind, body, and spirit in an effort to recover health and equilibrium in the shattered world we presently inhabit. ...Ofer lives to heal those who live in this shattered world, in the very epicenter of it all, Jerusalem in the 21st century." -- from the forward by Z'ev Rosenberg - from Amzon
