Phil,

 

I'd say: buy the book (Chen & Chen).

The info on the site you mention is highly arbitrary. I've checked a

few entries (I can read Dutch) but don't want to go into writing a

detailed critique here (major flaws: terminology and the selection of

info about actions of the meds). Strange also that the writer claims

copyright on this website.

 

Who would want info that is processed from Chinese sources, translated

into English, then into Dutch, and then transalte it into English

again. Seems a rather strange way to get info to me.
