Hadvaid — Manchershaw Madhivala
By Dhan Palkhivala - Apr 24, 2014
This article is a first-hand experience from one great Parsi lady who sponsored the work of Manchershaw Madhivala, the famous hadvaid, or bone-setter of India. Dr. Madhivala lived in the 1950’s in Gujrat and people from all walks of life from all over India and abroad were healed by him. In this article, the authoress describes three exceptional cases of bone-setting amidst a sea of patients who were treated by Manchershaw Madhivala from her home over the years. She not only opened her door to these suffering people but also her generous heart to the generous Manchershaw Madhivala when he did not have money to buy seeds to sow his lands. These cases are a clinical eye-opener to every healer and doctor to know that some people are born to heal whether they have a degree or not!
