Five-Phases Acupuncture

The following work is a compilation based on notes established during my studies in TAI-Sophia.  This compilation was the first written format of the theoritical course on 5 elements tought in the early 1990ies.  It was latter used by the school to create its own book.
This compilation is basically the same as the first one.  Only semantics and later chapters reflecting my own maturation were added.  However, this work is still a representation of Five-Elements, as I understand it.  It is in no way a representation of Systems acupuncture, the foundation of my present clinical and academic operandus.
