With today's rapidly changing modern lifestyles, the incidence of both conditions continue to rise steadily across the world. These two very common disorders have clearly become a danger to public health, and are some of the most challenging problems facing human society.

Chinese medicine displays a unique approach in the management of both diabetes and obesity, with very few side effects. The  therapeutic methods elaborated here are also excellent for preventing secondary complications, especially cardiovascular disease. Many patients will experience markedly effective results.

The general symptoms in both conditions are associated with what is referred to in Chinese medicine as bi syndrome. Combined treatments utilizing Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy show excellent results in reducing both pain and uric acid levels, while also improving joint function and rates of recurrence.

The clinical diagnostic and treatment methods presented here are based on many centuries of clinical observation combined with the results of modern research. By providing the time-honored clinical methods of Chinese traditional medicine, we hope that this book will help our readers gain a deeper understanding of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This text will undoubtedly benefit the many patients who suffer with these conditions.
