Reviving a Vegetative Woman!
 
Last November Yi went to China to meet with Dr. Hu, who is specialized in treating difficult neurological conditions including brain damage, stroke, and reviving from vegetative state.  Currently there is a 70-year-old woman who has had two strokes about a month ago and is in a vegetative state.  Yi Song has been collaborating with Dr. Hu and two other acupuncturists in Los Angeles to revive her.  Cedars-Sinai Hospital has declared that this woman has a very little chance of waking up; however, after reading the MRI, Dr. Hu thinks she has high chances of becoming more responsive after receiving one month of daily acupuncture treatment.  Yi is going to Los Angeles this January 25th to the 28th to instruct them about Dr. Hu's methods.

Dizziness and Vertigo from Viral Ear Infection or Unknown Reasons

Around the winter season people are more susceptible to viral ear infections.  Conventional treatment methods usually require the patient to wait and watch, and if things progress physical therapy may be prescribed for balance.  Sometimes the dizziness and vertigo can linger for a long time affecting daily activities.  Acupuncture is very effective in treating ear and vestibular nerve related dizziness and vertigo.  Many people, in the past two months, have come in with this being their primary concern.  They noticed immediate reduction in their balance and sensations during their first visit.  Most people only need two to three visits for acute conditions, even when they came in not being able to walk or drive.  One woman got off the Scopolamine Patch completely after just one visit! If you get an ear infection that leads to dizziness and vertigo, keep in mind that there is a faster and safer way to feel and function better.
