Acupuncture Treatment for Children with Cerebral Palsy - a Medical Miracle!

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a multiple functional disorder which is mainly manifested in body movement dysfunction. It is motor neuropathy which occurs before the brain is fully developed. The gestation period, birth period, or the post-birth early period is believed to be the time when the motor dysfunction develops. Physical therapies are the main treatment method in modern medicine for children with CP. During my observation at Dr. Wen's clinic, I met two little patients with CP, one aged 7 and the other 8, both from Thailand. They didn't know each other originally. They were said to have known each other in a western medicine clinic in Thailand. Children with CP need to receive an injection once every three months; otherwise, they will have no leg strength when walking and can only rely on assisted vehicles. As these two children met each other regularly, the parents of the 7-year-old child saw that the 8-year-old child was getting better at walking, even though he was not receiving any injections. The parents asked out of curiosity. It turned out that the 8-year-old child had come to Taiwan to receive acupuncture treatments. Since then, the 7-year-old child has joined him and traveled to Taiwan for treatments.

I am particularly impressed by the little 7-year-old patient, because the treatment he needed required a longer time and his parents quit their jobs just to come and stay in Taiwan for half a year for his treatment. Out of curiosity, I asked the father what made him make such a big decision. He said that he has had such an idea since his son received his first acupuncture treatment here. 'Because there have not been positive results from a wide variety of western treatments which he has received since he was little, such as physical therapies and even injection, I took him to Dr. Wen for the acupuncture treatments. After the first treatment, we passed by a park, and I saw him stepping onto a very thin and long retaining wall of a flowerbed. Although he staggered, he did not fall. Before that, he would not possibly have had the ability to walk on a narrow wall without falling off. Therefore, I was confident that I had found the solution for saving my child's life!'

Although the 7-year-old child started his acupuncture treatment later than the 8-year-old child, it turned out that the difference the treatment has made was very significant because the treatment duration was long. His leg strength was almost better than that of adults. He could not only walk from the Taipei Arena to the Taipei Main Station but also had an excellent sense of balance. Like most mischievous boys, he could jump onto and off steps on both legs, hang on the monkey bars, play on the slides, walk backwards on a treadmill, run, and kick a soccer ball. The delicate movements he could manage were not much different from any normal child. Even Japanese squatting (which required strength in the arches of the feet) did not pose any problem for him. This was just a major breakthrough and miracle in medical history. I was completely awestruck by the magic of my master's medical skills.

The father made some heartfelt comments. 'I thank Dr. Wen not only for his treatment of my son but also for the influence he has had on my entire family. He has given my family a new life. Without him, there would not have been any breakthroughs in treating this disease which has been globally recognized as incurable. Despite having visited many advanced medical institutions across the world, I had not been able to find a solution. Therefore, I sincerely thank Dr. Wen for bringing health and hopes to all my family members.

For a doctor to hear such touching comments from patients, it must make them feel that life no longer holds any regrets. In my master's clinic, this kind of miracle happens every day. Were it not for the fact that my master has been keeping a low profile, I really would have felt like participating in a press conference about such a medical turnaround.
