Qin Bo-Wei’s 56 Treatment Methods: Writing Precise PrescriptionsIn the spring of 2007, Jason Blalack asked his mentor, Wu Bo Ping, what was the most important Chinese medical text to translate into English. After a few moments of thought, Dr. Wu presented Jason with a tattered paperback copy of the original edition of Qin Bo Wei's New Guidelines for Treatment (c. 1953), a manuscript that for all intents and purposes had been lost during the Cultural Revolution. That is the text that forms the framework of this

In the spring of 2007, Jason Blalack asked his mentor, Wu Bo-Ping, what was the most important Chinese medical text to translate into English. After a few moments of thought, Dr. Wu presented Jason with a tattered paperback copy of the original edition of Qin Bo-Wei's New Guidelines for Treatment (c. 1953), a manuscript that for all intents and purposes had been lost during the Cultural Revolution. That is the text that forms the framework of this exciting new book.

Qin Bo-Wei (1901-1970) was among the most important physicians of the modern era. As a prominent clinician, educator, and scholar, he worked to integrate classical schools of thought and created one of the most coherent systems for understanding Chinese medicine during a critical time of intense turbulence in China's history. Wu Bo-Ping was one of Dr. Qin's students and is among the few who are still living today.

Translated and presented to a Western audience for the first time, Qin's original work is enriched by Dr. Wu's extensive commentary, which transforms it into a hands-on guide on how to effectively practice herbal medicine. 

An excellent clinical manual, this book primarily teaches a method of thinking that serves as a foundation for a lifelong approach to herbal medicine. An understanding of how to use the core concepts presented here allows one to effectively treat the majority of diseases seen in the contemporary clinic.

The text itself is unique in its presentation and differs from other clinical manuals in a number of ways:
  • Organized by treatment method. Teaches a way of emulating the thought underlying a prescription without being tied to its specified ingredients or original indications, thereby reflecting the thinking of Chinese medicine's greatest clinicians. Ultimately, this approach opens up treatment possibilities that are often ignored in conventional textbooks. 
  • Small number of ingredients. Dr. Qin's prescriptions contain a small number of precisely combined ingredients, administered in small doses. 
  • Explains how to use processed medicinals. The book provides detailed explanations about how to use processed medicinals. 
  • Based on influential lineage. This text imparts a wealth of clinical knowledge rooted in the tradition of an influential Chinese medicine lineage.

Reviews

 "This book is a major step in the dissemination of Qin Bo-Wei’s ideas. Perhaps more importantly, it represents a highly refined vision of how Chinese medicine can be understood in the West. Here we are presented with much more than a list of signs and symptoms linked to a pattern, which in turn is linked to a fixed formula. Instead, this book illustrates the nuances inherent in every step of the diagnostic and treatment process."
—Charles Chace, author of A Qin Bowei Anthology

"Particularly noteworthy are the discussions of pathology with their emphasis on understanding and diagnosing the location of disease processes in specific locations of the body, and the sophisticated use of medicinals. … This is particularly relevant in order to make sure that medicinals work upon the body regions they are intended to. … There is nothing else available in the English language literature that I know of that comes even close and this information alone makes the book a "must buy" for any serious practitioner. Add to this the clinical experience of two master physicians, the clarity with which Jason Blalack makes that experience accessible, and the immediate translatability of what is discussed to virtually any situation one might encounter in clinical practice and it becomes an absolute bargain.

"Beyond the clinical value of this text, Wu Boping and Jason Blalack make a significant contribution in bringing to us the kind of original material that is necessary for engaging in these discussions. For all those reasons, this is my Chinese medicine book of the year."
—Volker Scheid, Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine

These are quality bulbs and more reliable than halogen
Size: H7
Car that I drive is a 2008 Mazda 3 4Dr Sedan Automatic i Touring. Got so tired and fed up with felt like spending money every month or so on halogen bulbs. It was always the same old story, trip to auto zone to avoid a fix it ticket. I almost tried to buy the Sylvania brand on Amazon for cheaper but what's the use? Its STILL the SAME product. I'm done with those and never going back. The new Territory Has snapped right in without any special add on adapters, just plug and play deal. Way brighter and super easy. Love them. Can see way better at night and not have to worry about them burning out so quickly anymore. More than I can say about the Sylvania brand "Made in Germany". They're slippin

I’m really happy with these lights! They were easy to set up, work perfectly, and give off a beautiful glow. The brightness is just right for creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere without being too harsh. The quality feels great for the price, and they instantly made my space look more modern and inviting. I also appreciated how well they were packaged and how quickly they arrived. Definitely worth the purchase, and I would absolutely buy them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for stylish and reliable lights!

Termitor H11 are so worth it
Size: H11+9005
LED Lights are as described. They fit perfect in the low beams and high beam spots. LEDs are super bright and work great at night! Soo much better than the old fluorescent bulbs that came with my rig.

Keeping track of longevity. Had these bulbs for a month and will try and update if they fail. Unfortunately a while ago I hit a cow, seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, the truck was rebuilt and I wanted more/better road lighting. I am using these in a Mack truck for work so they are getting used. I run at least 10 hours a day, 5+ days a week and have at least 11k miles on them since installed. Install is just like a standard bulb no special steps needed. Produce a lot of light and good patterns on high and low beam. So far I really have only had one issue with the bulbs and that is the daylight running light/DRL operation, they don't work I believe the Mack drops the voltage to slightly dim the lights when running in DRL operation and this causes the bulbs to just intermittently flash so I just run with them on all the time. This I don't believe is the bulbs fault and is more an analog vs digital issue. Therefore I'm testing the longevity of the bulbs if my truck is running they are on. Will see how they do as the days get hotter as they are in a small sealed space.
