Name：Mr. Liu Age：58 Gender：Male Diagnosis：Ischemic Stroke Date of Diagnosis：January 30th, 2017 Chronic Disease：None Treatment period: Jul. 7-28, 2017 (21 days, 10 treatments) **Botox injection treatment the week before (may affect muscle improvement)** The cost of ignoring small indications From the United States, Mr. Liu is someone that enjoys living a healthy lifestyle. He doesn’t drink or smoke, nor does he have any chronic disease, yet somehow, the “silent killer” brain stroke still came knocking. On a day just like any other day, Liu woke up to get ready for work. That morning, as he washes his face, he noticed in the mirror that his mouth seemed a little slanted. He thought he had imagined it, and on a second glance, it seemed to have gone back to normal. So, he left for work without giving it much thought. The next day, Liu noticed a different sensation while writing; his colleagues even commented on his handwriting getting messier, which was when he realized that something might be wrong. After work, he hurried to have it checked-out, only to be diagnosed with — Ischemic stroke. It isn’t hard to imagine the utter shock Liu was left feeling, when the doctor told him that he had missed his “3-hour treatment prime period” and cannot be treated with thrombolytic therapy. There’s nothing else he could do except to pour his heart and soul into physical therapy for the next six month. After that, there would actually be nothing he could do. Or so he thought… Is there really nothing else? After diagnosis, Liu had a hard time accepting the reality. Why, of all people, would he be the one? Other than the mental torment, he was also constantly in tremendous physical pain. He did not go a day without suffering from severe dizziness and back pain. Even the simple act of yawning would send him down a spiral of unbearable pain. The pain was so bad he could no longer sleep at night, which led to serious insomnia. The never ending torture almost drove him so close to the edge he even considered ending his own life. Mrs. Liu could not bear to see her husband in so much pain. They tried everything from western medicine to physical therapy, from acupuncture to massage therapy, but nothing worked. After three months of continuous tiresome trying, Mrs. Liu gave up on any existing treatments in the States and started looking online, which was when she stumbled upon the treatment at 6 Shun Clinic in the tiny island of Taiwan. After reading all the testimonies on the website, she made the international call that immediate night. It takes just 21 days to treat symptoms that had persisted for 6 months Mr. Liu said that the 16-hour travel was well worth it. His symptoms were greatly reduced. Not only did his dizziness and back pain almost completely disappear, his muscle power (grip) increased by: 6.3 kg on the right and 9.2 on the left. Most thankfully, he could now sleep soundly at night. Liu wrote in his appreciation letter to 6 Shun how thankful he was to witness all these improvements in himself. His happiness is one that we could all witness and share. Liu also promised to share with us any further improvements, and we cannot wait to hear from him! Medical Trivia Often, stroke patients experience abnormal spasms in areas of the hands, causing the palm or fingers to tense up and unable to open, which is why they often have clawed fingers or twisted wrists. The same is also true for the lower limbs. Tension and severe spasms in the lower limbs forces patients to walk on their tiptoes, which results in deformed steps and posture, shortened muscles, and joint contracture, posing a serious strain on bones, joints and ligaments. If stretching, therapy and oral medications fail to release the tension or relieve the spasm in patients’ muscles, physicians would sometimes recommend the botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) treatment, injecting Botox into the muscles to block the nerve from sending signals to the muscles, thus relieving muscles from spasms and tension to assist with physical therapy.

Name：Grandma Li Age：90 Gender：Female Symptom(s)：Waist & lower body weakness, requires walker and back support brace Treatment period：Apr. 23 - May 3, 2019 (11 days, 6 treatments) The 90-year-old grandma and grandpa Li have been a loving and happy couple for many years. They were the fairytale story, the sweet old couple you would see in movies dancing to a slow song staring lovingly into each other’s eyes even after years of being together. When grandpa Li fell in the shower and injured his head causing him to become paralyzed in the left side of his body, grandma Li accompanied her husband to every treatment here at Liu Shun. She was there every step of her husband’s recovery and watched as her husband gradually improved: regaining strength in his arms and legs, becoming less dependent from the feeding tube and eventually, the removal of the feeding tube. She was a first witness to the effectiveness of the treatment, and her husband’s results convinced her to start a similar treatment for stroke prevention. Pre-treatment, grandma Li always walked with a bent back due to old age, and had to rely on a back support belt and walker. After just two injections, grandma Li was able to straighten her back and no longer require a walker nor the back support. “I feel young again!” grandma Li says with a laugh. It’s been a year since grandpa and grandma Li’s initial treatment, and the two remained our model patients who consistently come back for follow-ups treatments. Despite all they’ve been through, their unchanging love remained evident in the way they look at each other.

姓名：楊先生 年齡：64歲 性別：男 疾病類型：栓塞型中風 疾病確診日：2020年03月15日 慢性疾病：高血糖 治療期間：2020年03月20日至04月27日(共38天;10次療程) 當心出現這些症狀，小心中風找上門 來自台南的楊伯伯是位計程車司機，為了工作已習慣長期日夜顛倒的生活，長期睡眠不足導致頭部經常發生劇烈疼痛，平日只能到藥局購買止痛藥服用，並沒有至醫院做詳細檢查與處置。 2020年3月15號早晨，楊伯伯又開始頭部劇烈疼痛，起身想要下床拿止痛藥時，發現全身沒有力氣從床上跌了下來，兒子發現後馬上送至醫院，經醫師診斷確診為「栓塞型腦中風」。 中風後遺症影響日常生活，當個正常人好難 楊伯伯中風後，右側手腳癱軟僅可平行移動，根本無法自理生活，且腦中風讓他語言區受損，說話時嚴重口齒不清，兒子也說爸爸說話就像在說火星文，根本無法辨別爸爸要表達的意思，僅能依靠肢體語言與彼此間的默契。原本吃飯、上廁所、穿衣服這些日常生活中的小事，竟也沒辦法自己做，必須依靠他人的幫忙，讓人感嘆：「當個正常人好難！」 楊伯伯因右側肢體癱軟而無法行走，所到之處都必須依靠輪椅的幫忙，讓他的生活變得非常不方便與難堪，幸虧得友人介紹得以來到六順診所做中風治療。 10次療程，再次行走於人群中 在六順治療的過程中楊伯伯一度想要放棄，急性子的他無法接受這麼長時間的療程，也告知兒子不想再過來治療，後續經由個管師與家屬的溝通開導才一次又一次的堅持下去。 個管師看著一開始坐著輪椅無精打采的楊伯伯到治療後可以笑著走進看診間的他，簡直判若兩人，現在的楊伯伯變得較自信、開心，他還很有自信的說不用拐杖也可以在診所內走兩圈了！ 除了行走方面，楊伯伯各方面都有著明顯的進步，一開始說著火星文大家都聽不懂，到現在專訪影片中也能看到楊伯伯講話清晰，原本不能抬高的手現在也能摸到鼻子可以自己洗臉了，雖然生活中的小事對於一般人來說非常簡單，但也只有中風過的人才能體會到，這樣的小進步對於他們來說有多麼珍貴！

Name：Grandpa Chen Age：80 Gender：Male Diagnosis：Ischemic Stroke Treatment period：Jan. 26 - Feb. 17, 2017 (22 days, 10 treatments) A Sweet Promise Between Husband and Wife Grandpa and grandma Chen have been running a small grocery shop they opened together when they were teens for 60 years. To support their family, they worked tirelessly everyday, never taking a single day off work. However, it killed grandpa Chen to see his beautiful wife work so hard. Thus, it became one of grandpa Chen’s biggest dreams to one day take grandma Chen travelling around Taiwan. They made a promise to each other that once they retired, they would go on a long vacation, visiting all the places grandma Chen has always wanted to visit. It was this sweet secret promise between the two of them that got them through all the pain and hardships throughout the years. Unfortunately, just when their dream was within reach, grandma Chen fell ill. Grandpa Chen had to close the grocery story to take care of grandma Chen, and the car they saved up for years to buy for the trip, was used instead to commute to and from the hospital. The next seven years, grandpa Chen worked even harder than he had when he was running the grocery store. He was always by his wife’s bedside, battling her battle with the disease alongside her. He promised her that as soon as she got better, they would go on their trip, he already had the bags packed. But grandma Chen never made it. Overcome with grief, grandpa Chen’s body gave up. The many years of sleepless nights caused grandpa Chen to suffer from a stroke. Grandma Chen had only just left the hospital, now he was sent back — ironically — to the same room. Grandpa Chen was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It almost felt like too big of a joke. Life had already taken his beloved wife away, now it’s even trying to rip away his memories of her. That, was unacceptable. He had to fight on for her memories. Getting Healthy to Travel the World Grandpa Chen’s daughter-in-law took him to Liu Shun for treatment. His symptoms of Parkinson’s were improved. Whereas he was constantly afraid of falling while walking with a walker, he could now walk steadily without having to rely on a walker. Moreover, his strength and stamina was improved. Grandpa Chen shared with us during his treatment that whereas he would get tired walking five times around the park, he could now walk ten laps without feeling tired. His goal is to get strong enough so that he could honor the promise he made to his wife, by going on the trip with her.

Name：Mr. Wu Age：61 Gender：Male Diagnosis：Ischemic Stroke Date of Diagnosis：January 2017 Chronic Disease：hypertension, hyperlipidemia, poor renal function Treatment period：Jan. 26 - Feb. 17, 2017 (22 days, 10 treatments) Some mahjong is fun, but staying up all not might be too much fun Mr. Wu was one of those mahjong master you would see in Kung Fu movies. He would often spend hours on end at his friends house immersed in the complex game of skill and chance. One night, as he hung out at his friend’s for a game of mahjong as per usual, he felt his right arm grow unusually stiff. Mind focused on the win within reach, he brushed the feeling off as a posture problem. Yet, the weird sensation persisted for hours and grew significantly worse to the point where his arm started to feel limp. Sensing something might be wrong, Wu finally went to the hospital, where he was told that he has had an ischemic stroke. From a dispirited man to a happy jogger After staying at the hospital for a few days, a friend referred Wu to Liu Shun. In Wu’s first visit to the clinic, his many symptoms post-stroke, including paralyzed right upper limb, weak right lower limb, slurred speech, choking, and drooling, clearly dispirited him. However, by his first check-up post-treatment on March 30th, he could hardly mask his excitement and was quick to share with us all his improvements. After 22 days, not only could Wu raise his arm completely, he could walk approximately 200 meters without a walker, and could even jog for a little bit! Back in the mahjong game! “He is too stubborn,” Wu’s daughter shrugs, “Even though dad always complained (with occasional swearing, might I add) that the treatment doesn’t work, he knows full well that with each treatment, he could raise his arm higher, stand on his legs longer. We could all see it.” She chuckles, “Not to mention he is back at his mahjong games now.” “Three-hour treatment primetime is some bullsh*t” During Wu’s check-up, he shared with Dr. Wang many details about what it was like for him in the hospital when he first had a stroke. “I got to the hospital alright, but apparently not fast enough for a treatment.” Because he hadn’t made it to the hospital within three hours of his initial stroke, there was nothing the hospital could do except to put him in rehabilitation. “When my friend came to visit me in the hospital, he told me about Liu Shun,” Wu said, “I thought, what the hell, might as well bet on the chances and give it a try. I’m lucky that I did, otherwise I probably would have never gotten better. It’s crazy that not more people know about your treatment, Dr. Wang. You need to work harder and let people out there know that the ‘three-hour treatment primetime’ is some bullsh*t.” #右手無力

Name：Mr. Li Age：66 Gender：Male Diagnosis：Ischemic Stroke Date of Diagnosis：November 4th, 2015 Chronic Disease：hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia Treatment period：Nov 10 to Dec 9, 2015 (29 days, 13 treatments) It happens to even the healthiest of us 66 year-old Li is a veteran who kept up with a strict routine even after he retired from the military. He never skipped a day of exercising and was known among his friends for being the disciplined “health nut.” Li’s physical fitness was something that he had always been proud of. Thus, when he felt a sudden sense of numbness in the left side of his body during a family gathering one day, he brushed it off. “It’s probably nothing,” he thought to himself, confident in his consistent healthy routine. However, an hour later, he was rushed to the hospital after he had fainted in front of all his family and friends. The diagnosis from the hospital was that he had suffered from an ischemic stroke, which completely paralyzed the left side of his body. From then on, Li’s life depended on the assistance of others. He required help to perform even the most mundane tasks, such as eating and bathing. Once an honorable military man, Li felt like he was stripped off of everything that once defined him. Beginning of a journey based on trust and determination However, not even a disease could stop a determined soldier. After tireless searching and asking around, from a trusted friend, Li learned of Liu Shun. He resolutely left the hospital after he was discharged from the ICU. He chose to believe in Dr. Wang and Liu Shun’s years of experience. And had also made up his mind that he would stand back up again. Where there is a will, there is a way In his near one-month-long treatment, Li went from complete paralysis to being able to stand and walk. We were not only amazed by the huge progress he had made, but perhaps more so, his radiating positivity throughout treatment that was oh-so-rare. When asked about his positive mindset, he answered simply, “I believe in Dr. Wang.” He took a moment to reflect and said, “I could feel that Dr. Wang genuinely wants to help me. He was always so patient to explain the treatment to me and was always so encouraging of me. Because of that, I had complete trust in him. “I did everything as he said. You have to understand, that wasn’t easy,” he laughed. “A two-hour physical therapy could feel like a lifetime, especially to someone like me whose age was above the age of 60. However, all I had to do was to remind myself that I am a military man, and we soldiers don’t ever give up! I was determined to do everything in my power to return my life to normal.” And that he did. We all watched as Li walked out of Liu Shun, our eyes dampened by tears of admiration.

Name：Mr. Huang Age：52 Gender：Male Diagnosis：Hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding) Date of Diagnosis：May 26, 2017 Chronic Disease：hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia Treatment period：May 26th to July 6th, 2017 (41 days, 15 treatments) The dark reality you never knew about running a successful factory Mr. Huang, from Taichung, had been working in China for years. Single-handedly, he built his packaging factory from the ground up to the success it is today. But the cost of this success was a compromised health caused by years of pent up stress from work, chronic insomnia, and business-related social engagements involving alcohol. One day in 2010, young Mr. Huang suddenly collapsed in his factory, without any previous warning signs. He was hurried to the hospital where he found out that he had just had a hemorrhagic stroke. He flew back to Taiwan for surgeries, but to no avail. His symptoms post-stroke persisted. He could no longer communicate clearly; he felt weak, his hand numb, and his quality of life drastically deteriorated. Disappointed with modern medicine, he returned to work in China to take his mind off of his frustration. Are you brave enough to give yourself another chance? Seven years passed without Huang attempting any treatment. He had accepted that this was how he was going to live for the rest of his life. He almost did not want to try when his brother told him about a clinic in Tainan, specializing in stroke treatment. Almost. Luckily, his brother was not ready to give up on him. He would not stop bugging the then hopeless Huang. After persistent persuasion, on May 26th, 2017, Huang finally agreed to start a new treatment. Miracles do happen In the two months of his treatment, Huang had never felt more like a walking testament of God's miracle. His improvement was evident, one that everyone around him could feel and see. His hand was barely numb anymore, his muscles started to feel stronger, and most important of all, he could once again communicate with those he loves. Compared to his first visit to our clinic, where he appeared rather serious and anxious, Huang grew noticeably happier each time he came in for treatment. By the end of his treatment, he was a playful man constantly cracking jokes. Welcoming a life he hadn’t thought he would once again own, Huang walked out of our clinic with a big smile plastered on his face.

Name：Ms. Xu Age：52 Gender：Female Disease Type：Facial Paralysis Date of Diagnosis：2010 Chronic Disease：Hyperlipidemia Treatment period：June 19 to 30, 2017 (11 days, 6 treatments) 7 years of ineffective treatment, she was losing hope When Ms. Xu was first diagnosed with facial palsy in 2010, she was proactive to keep up her electrical stimulation treatment and oral medications. To no avail, her condition remained more or less the same. Which was why it felt like a miracle, after 7 years of ineffective treatments right when she was about to give up, to find 6 Shun Clinic just around the corner of her residence. She decided to give one last shot at treatment before completely giving up. Improvements she thought was impossible Slanted mouth, piercing pain on her forehead, and involuntary closing of the right eye were all symptoms of facial palsy of which she had been living with for the past 7 years. Along with frequent headaches of 20+ years, the daily battle with these symptoms made her depressed and anxious. She has lost her confidence and has forgotten what it feels to be happy. Her treatment at 6 Shun lasted for a brief 11 days, during which she visited 6 Shun 6 times, getting a shot every other day. Compared to the seven long tiresome years of searching for a cure, the treatment here at 6 Shun was exceptionally short, lasting for barely two weeks, but with surprising results. The tension in her lower limbs, as well as spasms, improved by a miraculous 50%, moreover, the 20+ year headache she’s been having since her 20s, almost never happens anymore. Ms. Xu could not imagine life if she hadn’t taken this last shot. Thinking back, she was glad she gave herself a chance at rebuilding confidence. She has recollected the courage to smile, and to face the world with eyes wide open.

Name：Mr. Jiang Age：71 Gender：Male Diagnosis：Ischemic Stroke Date of Diagnosis：July 6th, 2019 Chronic Disease：hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia Treatment period：Aug. 8 to Sep. 2, 2019 (25 days, 10 treatments) You’ve heard of a second stroke, I’ve had three Mr. Jiang from Nantou, was a former taxi driver who was used to working through the night. After retirement, he picked-up farming and was working every day in the boiling heat under the scorching sun. His existing chronic disease and heart condition, ventricular hypertrophy, already put him at risk of developing stroke. Along with his labor-intensive work in intense heat, his body eventually gave in. What came next was a 20-year battle with stroke. Jiang began his battle with stroke 20 years ago. His first stroke greatly impacted his mental status. He suffered from impaired vision, and started having trouble recognizing friends. What’s more, the stroke had impaired his logic so much that he had to give up his favorite pastime, Mahjong, because it was clear that he would not win another game. 5 years ago, in 2015, he had a second stroke. Though luckily, the experience of the first stroke allowed him to react quick enough to make it to the hospital within the “three-hour prime treatment time,” but wasn’t enough to stop the stroke from happening. Jiang was put in thrombolytic therapy, and was discharged from the hospital after 15 days. Three years later, Jiang suffered from yet another stroke — his third — in July of 2019. Post-stroke, he started experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, tension in the lower body, and difficulty walking. Unfortunately, the third time was not the charm. Unable to receive thrombolytic therapy for missing his “three-hour prime treatment time,” there was no other treatment for Jiang. The right side of his body became semi-paralyzed. While Mr. Jiang was battling with his disease, Mrs. Jiang was fighting one of her own. Couldn’t bear to see her husband suffer anymore, Mrs. Jiang was set on finding him a cure, something the hospital was clearly unable to provide. As if it was destiny, Mrs. Jiang learned about the Liu Shun stroke treatment through the family of Jiang’s next-bed neighbor. I went from paralyzed in a wheelchair to standing up to walk in a year It was Father’s Day in Taiwan when Jiang came to Liu Shun for the first time. Upon first impression, Jiang was pale, weak, and tired. Sitting in his wheelchair, he could hardly support his own weight, much less sit up straight. Every few minutes, Mrs. Jiang, besides him, had to pull him back up to stop Jiang from sliding completely off his chair. It was a harsh sight to take in, especially considering the occasion being Father’s Day. Thankfully, Mr. Jiang was progressing at impressive speed since the beginning of his treatment. On just his third treatment, we began to see promising movements in Jiang’s toes and lower body. Mrs. Jiang also shared with us that her husband was communicating with more clarity, beginning to have more strength and energy, and could now eat through the mouth without the feeding tube. However, Jiang’s recovery journey wasn’t a simple straight line as it might have seemed. Jiang almost gave up on treatment at one point. When Jiang pulled his arm muscle doing physical therapy and was told he would never be able to move his arm again, he lost all hope and wanted to give up. Luckily, thanks to his loving wife and the encouragement of our case managers, Jiang successfully completed all ten treatments with astounding results. Not only could he move his arm, he could even play arm wrestle with our case managers! Jiang’s chronic disease and heart condition put him at risk of stroke, which is likely why he had suffered three strokes. Being the at risk population, Jiang understands the importance of coming back for check-ups. He returns every three months for scheduled continual treatments as a method of stroke prevention. It’s been a year since he had a stroke and now he has almost returned to normal, with good strength and energy, the ability to converse fluently, and walk. His admirable dedication to his recovery is the reason for all his improvements.
