Clinical Pearls: A Collection of insights into the practice of chinese medicine
This book is a collection of Giovanni's experience of the past 40 years.
It ranges from short chapters (such as the case histories) to fairly long ones (such as that on autoimmune diseases).
Some of the chapters discuss aspects of Chinese medicine not discussed in his previous books such as the chapter on autoimmune diseases or the classification and treatment of Heat diseases.
In other cases, such as the Triple Burner or the Shen and Hun, the topic is discussed in a detail and with a depth that is not in any of his previous books. The contents of the book is as follows:
