His approach toward health is profound yet incredibly simple to apply, putting focus on proactive promotion of glowing health (through life cultivation) versus "curing" diseases.
He has been a powerful translator of Eastern philosophy and health care techniques to hundreds of thousands of Westerners for over four decades.
His book, Chinese Tonic Herbs, published in 1984 (Japan Publications), and The Ancient Wisdom of the Chinese Tonic Herbs, published in 1998 (Warner Books), have become classics in the field; they are required reading for anyone interested in Chinese herbalism.
