Review: Here are a few of the many revelations - This book helped me decipher the techniques used in energy medicine anatomically. Here is a few examples: Very strong stimulation of a peripheral nerve can cause the brain to think the pain is coming from an organ that the nerve was connected to by CONVERGENCE. For example: The points on the arms radial nerve are referred to as the lung triple warmer, and large intestines. An attack on the radial along the arm nerve stimulates the phrenic nerve by convergence leading to diaphragm spasms and labored breathing. When the diaphragm resting upon the large intestine goes into spasm, it irritates the large intestine causing the victims bowel to empty (Motility). The major cranial nerve responsible for parasympathetic stimulation on the internal organs is the VAGUS nerve. The vagus nerve transverses down the neck into the thoracic cavity where it connects to the heart, lungs, and digestive system. The heart rate will decrease with parasympathetic stimulation. Parasympathetic nerves feed the face, head, neck, and genitals. Sets of taps are commonly performed with acupressure to effect nerves. When a nerve is attacked, type c nerve fibers send a pain signal to the brain. Within each bundle of nerve fibers, there are multiple type c fibers with different thresholds. Repeated tapping a point recruits more nerve fibers. Since these effects occur in graduated steps, one must strike a nerve at least three times to magnify the effects at all levels until drastic effects can occur with a light tap. Acupuncture stimulates type A nerve fibers which have shown to block the effects of type C fibers.
Review: an important contribution to study of dim-mak - The author has matched acupuncture/dimmak points against nerves and anatomy of internal organs, and presents a theory of possible mechanisms behind effects of nerve point attacks. My knowledge of both medicine and dimmak is scanty so I cannot say if the theory is valid or not, but with its thoroughness and clear explanations the book is an important contribution towards better understanding of eastern fighting arts in western terms.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ if you're curious about the "death touch"
*by A***B on November 8, 2010*

Curious about the "death touch"? Then this book will give you a pretty good idea of how those secret vital point moves work. As another reader commented, it's a pity the book has so few schematics: figuring out where the actual points are is kind of difficult. And the anatomy diagrams look more like ascii art than anything else. You have to go back and forth between the book and a good anatomy encyclopedia to figure things out. Keep in mind this is not a manual to the "Vulcan death grip", though. It's more of a physiology-oriented attempt at explaining those ancient secret moves. And it should be stressed that the points discussed in this book can harm, but they can also cure. To see Dim-Mak in action (not the heart-stopping or knock-out moves, though), take a look at [...], or [...]. And do not practice on unsuspecting partners (little sister, or friends)!
