This book has been a godsend. With some experience in accupressure my wife and I have been able to use this book to address all sorts of ills. She once brought down a 104 F fever to normal in 2 hours using the pressure points in this book.

The only downside is that QA on the book is sorely lacking. Points on diagrams are missing in the narratives, the index does not include many common ailments that that are actually covered and can be found by browsing through the pressure point descriptions. There are many other editing mistakes. If this is cleaned up in the second edition, as a working manual this will be second to none.

I first purchased this book in the fall of 2002, and proceeded to travel across the country in 2003 to accompany my sister to receive NAET treatments for both of us. Using the techniques, we have been able to help other people to understand the healing benefits of both the NAET treatments for allergies and the Living Pain Free treatments to save from many trips to a doctor or the hospital. Many have requested their own copies of this book, which I was able to acquire for them.
One example is of my niece-in law who was suffering alot of pain from what a doctor said was either a torn ligament in her knee, or perhaps a blood clot. She came to me, I showed her how to use the book, and after the treatment, she walked across the room without pain. She continued to treat herself at home and is doing much better, with no sign of a blood clot. Another friend suffered from MS and Fibromyalgia and migraines, requested her own copy of the book, and is also helping her mentally challenged daughter with multiple problems. Another friend was not able to cry, used the guidlines in the book, and now is able to cry over a sad movie etc!
I highly reccomend the book for those who are really sincere in self-help.

I recently purchased both this book and "Say Good-Bye to Your Allergies" by the same author. This is the much better book - actual information on treating particular symptoms, rather than an extended apology for her NAET system of allergy treatment. The only thing that I really found more distracting than helpful was the use of medical terms when navigating to particular pressure points. I've read several books on accupressure, and this is the only one that requires a decent knowledge of 'Gray's Anatomy' to understand much of what she is saying. The illustrations go a ways to helping that, but I couldn't escape the feeling that the author was trying to make sure that readers knew she REALLY is a medically trained doctor.

Again, aside from that caveat, a good book with lots of maladies addressed.

This is an excellent self-help book. Page "58" is very helpful to overcome immediate allergic reaction temporarily. On the very first visit, Dr. Mala taught me how to use these points. Every morning when I wake up I massage these points before I get out of bed. That gives me tremendous energy all day along. During my initial NAET treatments, I was advised to massage these points every two hours. That helped me pass my treatments without any unpleasant reactions. I love this book.

This book is so easy to follow. Anyone can follow his directions as far as the acupressure techniques. I have no knowledge of physiology or the acupressure. Overall, it is a great book. I really recommend this book.

This is an excellent book, I use it every now and then for different things. I used to get broncitis in febuary; each time I used the points out of this book and I was able to get better in 3 days. I don't get broncitis anymore now, and I haven't had it in over 2 years. I use a point stimulator to make the treatments stronger.

Only 2 drawbacks of this book is some of the points arn't exact to where they really are. I find myself looking online to get the exact location. ALso this is a old book now, 1997. I wish They would make a new version book! It's almost 2011.

Overall this book is worth every penny. I would buy it again if I needed 2!

I am not experienced in acupressure and find this book completely perplexing. It's like a puzzle I haven't figured out yet. I don't feel that it is very user-friendly as it has you flipping here and there and everywhere for a single ailment. I also couldn't figure out whether I needed to rub all of the points, some of them, etc. The text is interesting, but there isn't enough clear text about navigating the book itself.

I found this book to be an excellent resource for accupressure points on the various illnesses people suffer
from. I am seeing a NAET practitioner and if I am unsure about the points, I speak with her. I have tried
a few conditions and treated myself following the accupressure points.
