Jaensch (Sydney, Australia), present an investigation into the human Heart, revealing a method of healing never seen before.

Over 4000 pages of classical Chinese text were researched, the pure essence distilled and translated, and presented here in this book.

From finding his lost tomb in the fields of Shungli county, to the remembrance of Li's life work, the Lost Heart of Medicine has been formed and found. This book is a must read for any practitioner of medicine. DrSeidman once said, 'When in doubt, do not treat the patient.' After reading this book, there will be no room for any doubt in your Heart. Liu Yuan's words of wisdom: "Medicine is difficult to master, as physicians are like small children, constantly ill informed. They gather sayings left behind by the sages and they dare not correct the high and brilliant....With full intention I studied the Six Confucian Classics, and found the one word 'benevolence' is clearly the root of the Sages' Do. Who knew that with this one word, we can nurture the physical body? By correcting everything that is discordant with propriety, we can reach peace and harmony in the Q and blood. Earlier physicians only allowed the principle of their Natural Character ( Xng) to guide their actions and words, and the Heart method followed this. What more explanation is needed? In the Six Classics and all the works of Confucius, not once is the word medicine written, but repeatedly we see the word benevolence. .......In the Analects (LnY) one can find many small Do, so its words must be thoroughly investigated. Moreover, the human Heart thinks a lot, bringing about many inappropriate things. As a result one engenders a disharmony of Q, Yn and Yng. Through one small moment of non-benevolence and non-properness, the person acts contrary to the upright Q of Heaven and Earth, with disharmony the only possible outcome. .......The high and brilliant noble person, when desiring to save people, goes back to this one word: benevolence. Stating it clearly to all the medical scholars who, throughout their entire careers have yet to cure a disease, be consoled with Heavens proper benevolence. Thereafter, how would merit and virtue not be fulfilled to the extreme?"
