My story: Several years ago, I came across a story from China about a woman who rescued her father during a stroke while he was showering. She immediately applied a technique she had learned from a TCM lecture—puncturing the tips of his fingers and releasing a small amount of dark blood—then sent him to the hospital. Her father later made a full recovery. She obstained this knowledge from a TCM doctor. Her story encouraged me to save my mom with TCM from her stroke and recovered completely about two months without left any physical defect. Here I would like to share my clinical cases. What you learn today may help save a life tomorrow-creating a positive ripple effect.
