本书为李定忠教授及合作者从事中医经络理论与实践的现代研究60余年的成果汇总。用169条先天性循经皮肤病证实经络存在是由基因决定的，以及观测到数百例皮肤病案与十四条古典经络一致的重要事实。发现“经络环”是体内环形电导通道，激通“经络环”能多病同治，双向调整。通过科研大协作阐明经络实质、运行规律与调整机制等系列科学内涵，并发明了“经络皮部挑治”等，在临床实践中取得突破性进展。在微观和宏观方面，阐述了经络、经穴内外的多种效应的区别（如针刺感传、电磁振荡、电阻、声波频率、数种化学元素和大分子浓度等）。 本书配合大量临床实例，图文并茂、深入浅出，有较强的实用性、创新性和推广性。本书可供中医和中西医结合相关领（包括科研、预防、**、保健、美容、康复）读者使用。全书采用汉英对照形式，既有利于外国学生来华学习，也有利于对外交流或在国外行医时参考。
