Points of REN channel were selected and Moxa was applied for 20 minutes for 8days followed by needling of the same areas. The catheter was removed after 15 days. There was no problem of bladder evacuation. Patient was very happy as the main hindrance in the healing process was removed. The points along the affected areas near to D4 D7 were punctured for 20 days. The patient was asked to take a walk for the first time. It was to everybody's surprise that the patient started walking very slowly. This crated a good environment. This was very important, as everybody was very anxious.

Neurologists Opinion: Here I would like to honestly point out as to why the popularity of modern medicine and the people who are practicing it is going down.

I told the parents that there was still hope and there was no reason to worry. Treatment: Standard formula treatment was started every ten to fifteen days. Points used were sedative points to control the attack of fits. Motor points on the hand and foot were also used to create a change in the scissors gate.

He very rarely gets an attack of epilepsy, which can be easily controlled with a sedative drug injection. This may happen only once in a year. As far as parents are concerned the patient is as good as cured.
