Mr Teoh, Age 52 (1995)

Mr Teoh suffered from stroke which paralysed the right side of his body. He was still recovering from the stroke when he fell and injured his head, resulting in another blood dot that was inoperable because of his weak condition.

He was under a lot of medication (about 10-12 tablets per day). He also had high blood pressure and diabetes. His son consulted Master Leong about acupuncture treatment; on whether it will be suitable in his condition. Since he can’t bring his father yet; master gave him some brain powder herbs after going through his medical reports.

He was given the medicine twice a day. After taking the medicine for about 5 days, he showed a lot of improvements. He could move his fingers and toes. He felt stronger, his speech much improved. Apart from the brain powder he was also given herbal medicine, two packets per day.

A week later, he was discharged from the hospital; was brought to our centre for acupuncture. Master Leong advised him to do intensive acupuncture; three times a day. He came daily, after two weeks of treatment; he could walk with assistance, his blood pressure and glucose level stable. Slowly he could get up on his own, his right arm and leg become stronger.

His son was very happy and continued treatment until his father recovered.

Chen K. S. (Male, 62 years old)

Uncle Chen was diagnosed with stroke on the left side of his body. His left arm was paralysed with no feeling at all. His vision was affected as well. He had trouble focusing on objects and distances. Often he would miscalculate the location of objects around the house like tables or chairs and end up bumping into them; injuring himself.

He developed short term memory loss. It was difficult for him to recall events dates or people. His speech was slurred and he had difficulties in pronouncing words and forming sentences.

He came for intensive acupuncture daily with herbal medicine. After two months, his vision improved about 70%, He can actually walk to our acupuncture clinic alone without bumping into cars parked by the roadside. He has feeling in his left arm which he can move but no grip yet.

His walk was steadier and stronger. After another month of acupuncture, his arm was stronger and he can close and open his fingers. His grip was not strong yet but he can hold things now. He can eat himself since he can hold a spoon.

After continuous acupuncture for another few months where he come three times a week for acupuncture; he was strong enough to drive. His hand was almost back to normal.
