Acupuncture - the Beacon of Light for Patients with Parkinson's Disease

It wasn't until I started observing at my master’s clinic that I started to realize the significant number of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in Taiwan. PD patients are not common in either the Chinese or Western medical clinics in Taiwan, which is also the case in Mainland China. Usually PD patients go to hospitals. My master’s PD patients came not only from all over Taiwan but also from abroad. The patient I encountered during my observation was a male from the Philippines who was in his seventies. He only spoke English and found my master's clinic via the internet with the help of his friend, a Taiwanese businessman who had emigrated to the Philippines. 'We came here for the reputation of Dr. Wen,' was the first thing he said when he first came to the clinic. A grand company of five family members and friends turned up at the clinic.

    自從來師父的診所跟診，才發現台灣的帕金森氏症( Parkinson's disease )患者真的不少。因為一般的中醫甚或西醫診所，也不多見這類患者，在中國內地也是這樣，通常往大醫院跑居多。老師的PD病人不僅來自台灣各地，還有遠從國外來的，我跟診遇過的是從菲律賓來的七十餘歲男性患者，只會講英文，是台灣移民過去的台商朋友，幫忙搜尋網站才找到師父診所的，一來就說"我們是慕名來的"。浩浩蕩蕩親友團一行共五名。

    這位患者七十歲後才罹病的，無家族史，半年前才確診，不過動作很遲緩了，走路前傾駝背，步距小、邁不開有如被地板黏住般且拖步，師父的經驗一看就認為這個狀況絕對不只半年，果真，家屬說走路變慢已經一年多了，只是沒被診斷出來而已。患者早上起床狀況最差，連衣服都沒力氣穿，下床走動也很遲緩，好像電池沒電一樣。
