Question
A friend’s child seemed healthy at birth, but as they grew up, they discovered the child couldn’t speak and couldn’t perform basic activities. After going to the hospital for a check-up, they were diagnosed with cerebral palsy. What should be done in this situation? What treatment methods can help?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a difficult-to-cure condition, but it can be improved through a combination of Western and Chinese medicine. Delaying treatment may waste money and also result in the child missing out on important learning and recovery opportunities. Western medicine primarily treats by injecting stem cells into the bone marrow, while Chinese medicine fills the bone marrow through kidney tonification to achieve therapeutic effects. Wealthy families can choose to undergo Western medical treatment, while those with lower economic conditions can opt for suitable Chinese medicine as an adjunctive treatment. However, caution must be exercised when choosing doctors to avoid causing further harm to the child.
