Thereafter, he should stand and pray in whatever language he is fluent in... that he may be answered. And if salvation does not come, he should do so for up to three days, once each day].  In the book Sukkat Shalom (leaf 117) he wrote that the Segulah works in such a complete manner that visiting a physician is unnecessary: ״ושמענו על משפחות מיוחסת כישראל, שרגילים בכך ואינם רגילים ברופאים״ [and we have heard of pedigreed families who are used to doing so and are not used to going to physicians'.  Maran the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky held this Segulah in high regard and recommended many to study the Masechet with this commentary.
