Who is Dr. Voll? Born in Berlin on 17 Feb., 1909 as the son of an architect, Dr. Voll soon developed an interest in technology and as a radio amateur during his high school years laid the foundations for his later research in Electro-Acupuncture. After graduating from high school he followed in his father's foot steps and took up studies in architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart only to find out that medicine was his real vocation. His interest during his medical studies at the Universities of Tuebingen and Hamburg soon focused on anatomy, and it is only with a sound baiis in human anatomy that modern acupuncture can be practised effectively. During his medical career Dr. Voll engaged in preventive medicine both in industry and child welfare and settled down as a medical practitioner in Southern Germany in 1943. As early as 1953 he began practising Electro-Acupuncture and since 1959 has exclusively devoted his entire medical activity to this newly developed science. In 1956 he founded and intensively promoted the Association for Electro-Acupuncture which was changed into an international organisation in 1961 with Dr. Voll as the president until 1972, when he became honorary president. The Association, with members in more than 17 countries, offers training courses for medical doctors and dentists and has held more than 120 such courses in Electro-Acupuncture diagnostics and therapy, in addition to workshops, and scientific sessions mainly in Germany. Ever since Electro-Acupuncture has been gaining more and more dedicated followers which proves that Dr. Voll's far-reaching concepts opened the gates for new significant approaches in medical diagnostics and therapy.
