Topic: Chinese Medicine...working!

Three and half years ago my daughter suffered a stoke. She went through the typical means of therapies available here in the US and had regained some of her capabilities. Through Stroke Magazine she found a woman who was a stroke survivor and facilitator to Traditional Chinese Medical therapies for stroke and other neuropathies. To make a long story short, my daughter is currently in Tianjin and has been there since September 1st. We have already seen some incredible strides being made. She couldn't raise her right arm above her sternum prior to going over, she now can touch the top of her head. She couldn't write with her right hand, she now can print with a marker. The limp or pitched gate she had has been minimized by at least half.
  She goes through a battery of treatments six days a week there. From acupuncture, to acupressure, to massage, hydro therapy and dietary therapies as well. She says there have been times where shes had as many as three people woking on her and had as many as fourty acupuncture needles inserted. She is only 34 and most of the patients there are over 60. She has seen more remarkable improvements in others , so she claims. She is due back on Dec. 1st. So for $15k or $166.00 a day she has gotten what no doctor or facility here in the States couldn't even begin to provide. Hope, where there previously was none.

Re: Chinese Medicine...working!

ShineOn,

That's great to hear.
My partner is an acupuncturist/herbalist and I've just been amazed with effectiveness of this modality.  She's treated me for tonnes of stuff, though nothing as serious as a stroke, but still the healing times have been half of what western doctors advised. 

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has helped to alleviate conditions like the heart palpitations I would get since I was a kid.  When they got really severe, I went to the doctor and they investigated very thoroughly, told me I had an enlarged heart and that I would just have to live with the palpitations.  Years later, after I discovered Chinese Medicine, the TCM doctor took my pulse, checked out my tongue and prescribed some herbs and did some acupuncture.  I haven't had any trouble since.    smile

Anyways, good to hear that your daughter is doing well.   Although, I'm surprised she had to go all the way to China to recieve treatments like that, but maybe better to get it straight from the source!

Thanks Worldbridger,


    I've been out of the country and hadn't accessed Montalk in weeks. My daughter returned home this past Sunday and I must say the gains made are remarkable. Along with the physical benefit she has gained so much more confidence in herself and with that a vision of the future for herself.
    She has been offered a position within the agency that helped her get to these modalities in China as a 'poster child' if you will. Again, hope where there was none.
