Re: does this sound like a stroke?

Hi John,

Here is some info I think someone here posted and which I shared with lots
of my friends, having lost 2 to strokes within a few years...and so it may
help you feel more comfortable having in case something does happen.

Your Uncle may have had a mini-stroke however. I had a friend who was having
them and they are not as drastic as a regular one but the little changes
in the crossword and the differences in your Uncle's habit smoking a cig
reminded me of the symptoms my friend was having. Little things hard to notice
unless you knew the person...it would also have concerned me since folks who are methodical are usually so even when tired. It would also be good to hear what his checkup found. Certainly, I think your concern is warranted. You may consider
asking his doctor about these little signs and he/she could intervene and ask
your Uncle back, or allay your fears...

This is amazing. Please keep this very handy.. Excellent tips. Do take a minute
to read this. You'll never know. One's life may depend on you.

" My father was paralyzed and later died from the result of a stroke. I wish
I knew about this first aid before. When stroke strikes, the capillaries in the
brain will gradually burst." (Irene Liu)

When a stroke occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is,do not move him/her.
Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst. Help the victim to sit up where he
is to prevent him from falling over again, and then the bloodletting can begin.
If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the best, otherwise,
a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.

1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it, and then use it to prick the
tip of all 10 fingers.

2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about a mm from the fingernail.

3. Prick till blood comes out.

4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.

5. When all 10 digits is bleeding,wait a few minutes then the victim will regain
consciousness.

6. If the victim's mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red.

7. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each ear lobe.
After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.

Wait till the victim regain his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then
take him to the hospital, otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry
to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.
If he could save his life,barely managing to walk, then it is by the grace of his
ancestors.

"I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor
Ha Bu-Ting who lives in Sun-Juke.Furthermore, I had practical experience with it.
Therefore I can say this method is 100% effective.In 1979, I was teaching in Fung-Gaap
College in Tai-Chung. One afternoon I was teaching class when another teacher came
running to my class room and said in panting, "Ms. Liu, come quick, our supervisor
has had a stroke!"

I immediately went to the 3rd floor. When I saw our supervisor, Mr.Chen Fu-Tien,
his color was off, his speech was slurred, his mouth was crooked-all the symptoms
of a stroke. I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the pharmacy
outside the school to buy a syringe, which I used to prick Mr. Chen's 10 fingers
tips. When all 10 fingers were bleeding (each with a pea-sized drop of blood), after
a few minutes, Mr. Chen's face regained its color and his eyes' spirit returned,
too. But his mouth was still crooked. So I pulled on his ears to fill them with
blood. When his ears became red, I pricked his right earlobe twice to let out 2
drops of blood. When both earlobes had two drops of blood each, a miracle happened.
Within 3-5 minutes the shape of his mouth returned to normal and his speech became
clear. We let him rest for a while and have a cup of hot tea, then we helped him
go down the stairs, drove him to Wei-Wah Hospital . He rested one night and was
released the next day to return to school to teach.

Everything worked normally. There were no ill after-effects. On the other hand,
the usual stroke victim usually suffers irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries
on the way to the hospital. As a result, these victims never recover.- " (Irene
Liu) Therefore stroke is the second cause of death. The lucky ones will stay alive
but can remain paralyzed for life. It is such a horrible thing to happen in one's
life. If we can all remember this bloodletting method and start the life-saving
process immediately, in a short time, the victim will be revived and regain 100%
normality.
