Medical Cases
[Case 1]: Mr. Cheng, a 42-year-old man from Jiangsu Province, and his wife, Mrs. Huang, a 33-year-old woman from Tainan County, Taiwan Province, currently live in the third section of Heping East Road, Taipei City. On May 6, 1971, Mrs. Huang suddenly suffered from headache, dizziness and unconsciousness. In the initial stage, she was unconscious for more than 30 days. Mr. Cheng had served in the police force for many years, and his friends helped send her to major hospitals in Taipei. Various scientific instruments were used for multiple examinations, and she was treated by many experts and renowned doctors, but to no avail. She was hospitalized for seven months without any improvement. Mr. Cheng specifically invited me to make a diagnosis and treatment at 10 am on December 8, 1971. After a detailed diagnosis, I needled Guanyuan, Zhongwan, Yongquan, Xingjian and Zhongchong, and let out blood at Zhongchong. After ten minutes, Mrs. Cheng was able to smile. At 6 pm on the same day, Mr. Cheng called and said that his wife’s illness was more than 80% improved. The next morning at 10 am, he came to pick me up again. After a total of three times of needling, she was cured.
