Katylin: I use this book all the time to identify pressure points for relieving pain. It’s very helpful for many areas of the body from headaches to knee pain to shin splints. I have given copies to several friends who all swear by it. Very useful information to have on hand!

AHP: I use this book regularly. The writing is very comprehensive. The only criticism is the quality of photograhs and the location of the acupressure points. How the writer expects people to locate where the points are by looking at a photo of a man with dots stuck on his shirt, I do not know. Luckily for me, I am used to acupuncture treatments so I can mostly locate the right points but it is less than good to go by the photo images along with the description.

Michael: I have owned this book for years, and many of the chapters have helped tremendously with whatever I was facing at the time. After being sick and almost unable to get out of bed for the last few days, I remembered this book and how I was immediately able to relieve nausea one time. I crawled around in my closet, found this book, and spent about 30 minutes working the points in the Colds and Flu chapter and the Immune System Boosting chapter. After, I was able to get up and move around the rest of the evening without getting dizzy and having to lie down. My aches were also greatly reduced. I felt even better today. I was able to run some errands and have some real food. These points work, and they can work really fast. I will keep massaging and holding the points a few times each day until I am back to 100% which shouldn't be long based on recent changes. I wish I would have started it as soon as I began to feel achy. Even better, I will massage these points during cold season before I even begin to feel any symptoms. Lesson learned. May God bless Michael Reed Gach for devoting his life to this subject and for sharing his wisdom in Potent Points.

Andy & Ari: This is a book I have been using for 3 years now, and it's something I can honestly say there was a time in my life I would have never, and I mean never seen myself purchasing or using. I worked in a very traditional western medicine setting for a number of years before I began my current life as a fabulous stay at home mom. And I really thought anything related to acupressure or acupuncture was a load of manure. Not too long before I purchased this book, I became familiar with some of the US Military's use for acupuncture in the treatment of pain as a means to reduce opioid addiction in wounded soldiers, and there was enough credibility behind the information that was coming out that I thought...well, ok, maybe I can be open minded about this. And then I was put on a medication that damaged my liver, and when that happens, one of the first thing that happens is you get pulled off of any and every medication possible, especially ones that metabolize through the liver.
I have seasonal allergies that can best be described by the words of an allergist I saw many years ago when he walked into his office to give me test results: "Do you want some coffee? It's pretty much the...

Mr. Giles Hinchcliffe: The book has an easy sensible and short introduction.
The difficulty with acupressure is that there are so many points and many of them inter-act.
This book sets out the key points to use by specific ailments / conditions and so is a very useful reference book.
I am a massage therapist and I am keen to introduce these techniques into my treatments. I am enjoying discovering the points BUT it is too early to say how effective my techniques are.
I like the way the book is set out and the diagrams make it easy to find the exact location of the points under discussion.
