Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I found this guide while conducting my own research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). According to the author, although there are consumer protection groups such as QuackWatch, American Accreditation HealthCare Commission [...], and Health on the Net Foundation that hold websites providing health- and medicine-related information to quality and ethical standards, these groups do not tend to review very many websites, so this guide should still be of interest to many people, including researchers, practitioners, and lay people.
The product description provides a table of contents so I won't repeat that here. Most chapters further break down into sections organized according to the major components of TCM: acupuncture, herbal medicine, and qi-gong. For each web site listed, the author indicates the language skill(s) required (English, Traditional or Simplified Chinese, Japanese, or other), briefly describes the general nature of the news or information provided, and if known or appropriate, the people or groups maintaining the website and their reputation within TCM circles.
One thing I noticed is that within a given chapter section, websites requiring language skills beyond English are listed along with English-only websites with no apparent organizational structure. It would probably have been more helpful if the websites within a given section were further organized according to some easy-to-discern scheme such as language skill required; that would have facilitated faster lookups, etc.
