In 1932 Dr. Vodder and his wife were working as masseurs in Cannes on the French Riviera. The majority of their patients were English, who were there to recover from their chronic colds, caused by the humid climate of their homeland. The Vodder's discovered that all patients had swollen lymph nodes in their necks. Vodder treated the swollen lymph nodes intuitively and successfully. The colds vanished. Supported by these successes, he developed the MLD method that is taught and applied today. The therapist will find in this book all the subject matter of the basic course.
