Bibliography
 Preface

During our many years of collaboration with Nüzhet Ziyal M.D., Ph.D., my dear Professor who
taught me acupuncture and helped me to understand the details of this treatment method, we had
to incorporate acupuncture points from different sources to use in various diseases. In several
occasions it was not possible to find any information about the acupuncture treatment of some
medical conditions. I therefore, felt the need to write a book that includes the treatment of many
diseases and that my acupuncturist colleagues could always use as reference.

“Acupuncture Prescriptions from A to Z” is the product of twenty-five years of experience. I

wrote these prescriptions considering patients I have treated with acupuncture and integrating
evidence from some reference books cited in the bibliography section. I preferred to specify
different points that can be used instead of writing a standard prescription for a symptom or
diagnosis. My colleagues will be able to determine the appropriate points for their patients and
to make combinations using a small number of points according to diagnosis and comorbidities.

I would like to thank all the members of my family who have always been there for me …
