Yes, he was promoting his brand of marma therapy and I was told by a physician who was using them that they were excellent. He also claimed that one day the guy just disappeared. I found his book on the subject unimpressive. It does seem however that this gentleman who was supposed to be MMY's successor, who later withdrew, is the real deal. He's descended from over a hundred generations of vaidyas, back to the guy who healed Krishna of the arrow.
