[size=10:ec1bb78ed3][Just restoring my post which has been deleted due to the Medboo server crash (16-08-2006)][/size:ec1bb78ed3].

Dear Firefox,

Thank you for you interesting series on Chinese massage ([i:ec1bb78ed3]tuina[/i:ec1bb78ed3]).

For those who read [i:ec1bb78ed3]Spanish[/i:ec1bb78ed3], there is a book called [i:ec1bb78ed3]Manual de Masoterapia China[/i:ec1bb78ed3] ([i:ec1bb78ed3]Chinese Massage Therapy Manual[/i:ec1bb78ed3]), published in the context of the National Programme on Complementary Medicine of Peru in collaboration with the World Health Organisation and Pan-American Health Organisation (Lima, 2000). The book is available for downloading (PDF, 8.7 Mb) free of charge from the Virtual Library of Health, Equality, and Development of Ecuador (by Pan-American Health Organisation/Ecuador) and may be freely copied and distributed:
http://www.opsecu.org/bevestre/nuevos%20artículos/Libros/Masoterapia/capitulos%201-2-3.pdf

I would really appreciate it if your could look through that book and express your opinion on whether [i:ec1bb78ed3]tuina[/i:ec1bb78ed3] techniques have been presented there in the correct way. (If you do not read Spanish, you can still look through the numerous pictures. The first half of the book, up to page 84, is about TCM theory and diagnosis. The description of the techniques of [i:ec1bb78ed3]tuina[/i:ec1bb78ed3] starts from page 85.)

Thank you in advance.
