FOREWORD

It is my pleasure and privilege to write foreword to this book,


"Health In Your Hands : Volume 2 - Part - 1". Most of my time has
been spent in medical studies and practices all these years. To be
honest I was not aware that Science of Acupressure did exist. For this
I am grateful to my friend Raji who introduced me to Shri Devendra
Vora, Pioneer of Acupressure in India and who has already published
two most popular books, "HEALTH IN YOUR HANDS : Volume 1
& 2", of which more than 2 million copies are sold out.
My friend Raji had appendicitis five years ago. She had gone
through all the necessary tests in a famous hospital. She was advised
to undergo operation the very next day. But she had to look after her
bedridden mother, therefore she backed out of the operation. The
surgeon even threatened her, "If you come 24 hours late, peritonitis
will set in and I will not touch you." The brave lady accepted the
challenge and with a common friend went to seek Shri Vora's advice.
Within 8 dayb her pain subsided and in 60 days she was completely
cured. This was a great revelation to me.
After a year or so, I had pain in both lower extremities. Being a
patient of peptic ulcer it was not possible to take too many painkillers.
At that point of time, my friend coaxed me to visit the Santacruz
Centre to meet Shri Vora. He immediately diagnosed that I had a
problem of the Sciatic nerve. As per his advice I started the treatment.
Lo and behold, within 8 days my pain was gone. Since then, I am a
firm believer in Acupressure Therapy. I joined his classes and worked
with him for three months. Since then, I consider him as my Guru.
I have gone through all the chapters of this book. They have
been written with great care and affection. Even the dreaded diseases
have been clearly discussed and advice has been given in simple ways.
The way he arrives at diagnosis is simply marvellous. This has not
come to him easily. There is lot of hard work and a research-oriented
mind behind this. In this book, he has explained how he arrives at a
diagnosis. I have observed that not only the diagnosis made by him is
instant and costless but it is equal to any diagnosis arrived at through
X-Rays, Sonography and M.R.I. Tests. The most important aspect of
medical treatment is proper diagnosis as early as possible. By just
reading this book, the patient will be able to diagnose his/her problem
and start treatment immediately. Thus, this book is a great boon to
mankind.
In my day to day practice, I too preach Acupressure methods.
Many of my colleagues have been informed about this. We have even
met the higher authorities of Mumbai University and requested them
to include Acupressure Science as a subject for college students.
Prevention is always better than cure. So far only a few people
have heeded our requests. But a day will soon come when all will turn
their attention to such a safe alternative method of medicine.
Shri Devendra Vora's dream is to reach this book to all people
who will benefit from it. I pray all homes have this book and utilise
the knowledge given to maintain good health. Perhaps our busy
lifestyle prevents us from taking interest in the care of our body. If we
devote at least 10 minutes daily for ourselves, it will do a lot of good.
I congratulate Shri Vora for writing this book in simple language
so that it is understood by laypersons irrespective of their educational
qualifications. I am confident that this book will be widely read and
appreciated not only in India but also all over the World.
