(1) Malfunctioning of Thyroid / Parathyroid gland and later on other endocrine glands e. g. malfunctioning of Pineal gland leads to retention of water and excess water in the body and leads to excess fat.
(2) Underworking of Sex glands mainly in ladies after delivery of a child.

How to stop Bad Habits : Most of the people are aware of the harmful effects of their bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, chewing of tobacco, overeating, etc. In spite of their desire to give up such habits, they are not able to do so for lack of the necessary will-power.
Overeating : Chew your food and drink thoroughly at least 12 to 15 times before gulping down. Observe silence while eating. Stop eating at the second signal you get from the stomach. If necessary, make a habit of taking food after every 4 hours but do not overeat at a time. Control the endocrine glands.
Leprosy/Leukoderma (White Spots) :
(1) The reason for Leprosy is excess heat and non-perspiration through certain parts of the skin and less functioning of liver.
(2) As more and more toxins gather under that part of skin, the nerves ending at that place become dead and numbness is found on that particular part of the skin and the colour of the patch changes to white.
(3) When this is not treated at the right time and when proper nourishment is not taken or when the Adrenal glands are not functioning properly, the other ends of the nerves situated in the hands or feet get affected and their deterioration starts.
(4) Later on when lymph glands work less, these affected parts of the hands and feet become septic and pus starts oozing out and then other parts of the body, especially nose, etc., are also affected.
Cancer : It is a man-made dreaded disease. The main point of worry in the case of cancer is that when it is detected, it has already reached an advanced stage and the possibility of complete cure is remote.

Thalasemmia : It is a dreaded disease found in children. In acute cases, total blood has to be transfused every 15 to 30 days. In spite of best treatment and blood transfusion, chances of recovery are very limited. On examination of such patients, it has been found that their endocrine glands are severely damaged and even all organs of digestive system are found to be sluggish.
The treatment as mentioned above for cancer of blood is found very useful and effective. At the same time, for the deficiency of haemoglobin in their blood (the same way for all patients of severe anaemia) the following treatment along with the medicines for anaemia will give astonishing results.
Polio : This is due to virus infection in the motor nuclei of brain stem and in the gray matter of the spinal cord and paralysis of the connected muscles.
(1) Give treatment as mentioned for Muscular Distrophy.
(2) Give vapour treatment or hot pack treatment on the affected part for one month.
(3) Afterwards, give hot and cold packs alternately for 10 minutes twice a day.
(4) After this, dry up the affected parts and rub oil on them.
(5) First give red light for 4 to 5 minutes on the affected parts (not on head) and then blue light for 8 to 10 minutes on the affected parts + on head-twice a day.
(6) Practise sun Pranayama, Kapal Bhati and Bhastrika as much as possible.
(1) The practitioners of the Acupressure Therapy must study Physiology thoroughly so that he/she becomes well conversant with the functioning of the body. This will help them to diagnose the root cause of a disease properly.
(2) In case of any problem, just check up the Solar Plexus, and set it right if it is not in order. Secondly, see that the network of nerves passing through the spinal cord is in order.
