Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies: Psychology & Chinese Medicine (Revised Edition)Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality. In this comprehensive and ground breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healers

Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a “congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality.” In this comprehensive and ground-breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healer’s effective and profound respect for individual integrity and energetic balance. Explaining, and moving beyond, the five phase (element) system, he shows that this Eastern practice is as much a spiritual science as a physical one.

Accessible to the layman, yet a resource for the professional in any healing art, this book examines the natural energy functions of the human organism as a key to mental, emotional and spiritual health. It offers new insight into disease, showing how it is not merely an invasion from the outside, but rather a byproduct of a person’s unsuccessful attempt to restore one’s own balance.

Engine Air Filter
Size: (Pack of 1)
This engine air filter fit perfectly in my 2018 Honda CR-V. No idea how it will perform but so far the Check Engine Light has not come on since installing the filter. Since there have been no problems I am happy with this filter and will likely buy again in the future. The filter does appear to be made from quality materials.

My mileage on my 2021 Honda CRV dropped 4 miles /gallon with this air filter.
Size: (Pack of 1)
My mileage on my 2021 Honda CRV dropped 4 miles /gallon with this air filter. It did fit well and was easy to install, but then I watched my average around town mileage drop from 29-31mpg to 26-27 mpg thru 2 tank fillups. The Honda repair person said this filter looked like the Honda one and was surprised when we wanted to switch it out. Granted, it looked just like the Honda filter, but the folds on the Honda one are yellowish and I have to think there has to be some difference in the texture. The average mileage went back up within 10 miles of replacing it and 3 fill ups later it has continuously maintained its original average of 29-31 with the Honda filter.

As good as Original Manufacturer Equipment.
Size: (Pack of 1)
Cheaper than having the dealer or oil change store do it. Only takes a minute to replace your existing filter for a lot less than what they want to charge you. High quality too!
