Chinese Professor Irene Liu learned about needle therapy for stroke victims from Ha Bang Ting, a traditional Chinese doctor from Sun Juke.
She had the opportunity to put into practice what she learned about needle therapy in 1979, while employed at Fung Gaap College in Tai Chung. [read: Needle Therapy For Stroke Guidelines]
One afternoon, while teaching in class, a fellow teacher came running to her classroom to report that their supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu Tien, was having a stroke attack.
When she saw him at the third floor, his color was off, his speech slurred, and his mouth crooked.
She immediately asked one of the practicum students to buy a syringe with needle from the pharmacy just outside the school.
She then used it to prick Mr. Chen's 10 fingertips until all were bleeding. After a few minutes, his face regained its color, and his eyes spoirit returned too.
But his mouth was still crooked, so she pulled his ears until it is red with blood, and then pricked each earlobe twice to let out two drops of blood.
Then, within 3 to 5 minutes, a miracle happened. His mouth returned to normal and his speech became clear.
After a short rest and a cup of hot tea, they helped him downstairs and took him to the Wei Wah Hospital. He rested one night and was back to school teaching the next day. He was fully recovered with no ill effects of the stroke. [read: Needle Therapy For Stroke Guidelines]
On the other hand, the usual stroke victim usually suffers irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries while being transported to a hospital. As a result, these victims never recover. The lucky ones stay alive, but can remain paralyzed for life.
