| In
May 1994, while I was traveling through far Eastern
Asian countries, my wife had a cerebral hemorrhage at
home in Korea.After feeling dizzy, she fell
unconscious. When she was taken to a hospital, the
doctor who examined her said it was too late to do an
operation on her. She was taken to another hospital.
Again, the doctors were unwilling to perform an
operation, believing that there was no hope. Finally,
she was taken to a hospital where there was a surgeon
who was an acquaintance. After much pleading, she was
admitted to the operating room. She survived two
operations, but was left in a coma. The surgeon informed
me that she would remain in a vegetative state
indefinitely. So, I turned to oriental medicine. I
consulted an oriental medical doctor who was teaching at
a renowned college. After examining her, he said there
was nothing that oriental medicine or therapy could do
for her. He even added, "If anyone claims that he can
cure her, you'd better know he is a crook."When two
months passed without any sign of improvement, I paid a
visit to the surgeon who operated on my wife. I
questioned him about the cause of my wife's vegetative
state. His answer was her brain cells had died. I
asked, "Wouldn't the brain cells be regenerated just as
other cells in our bodies?" The doctor answered that
the brain cells are different from other cells. He
said, "Brain cells are like a microphone. If the line
leading to the microphone is damaged, the microphone
can't function. Likewise,
when capillary vessels are blocked as in the case of
your wife, the brain cells die due to lack of oxygen."
Hearing his explanation, I asked
him, "If so, open the capillary vessels!" For a moment, the
doctor looked puzzled as if talking to an idiot and replied, "It's
impossible. Do you know how tiny the capillaries are? It
is not like opening a stuffed drain." I said, "If you can not
open them, please refer me a doctor in any part of the world who
can." The doctor said, "There is no doctor in the world who
can!" I realized that there was no hope from the doctor.
However, I thought there may be
one last chance. That was to re-open her capillaries.
