  • i went through this in china got nothing out df it nor did the other 25 who were there with me

  • I am sorry to hear that. Devin saw great benefits from the treatment there. And he especially saw a shear volume of treatment and care available there that was not available, or affordable, here in the states. He still has trouble getting insurance to help pay for the rehabilitation and care he needs now that he is home.

    I wish you continued recovery...All my best.

  • insurance is an issue and china definitely does not qualify glad he got some resilts of the 25 people i went with not one got any benefit. i read clinical trials of tcm and again not effective just trying to warn people to be careful

  • I agree that all should be careful and thoroughly check things out for themselves. What works for one doesn't always work for another. And when it comes to stroke rehab, there are no miracle cures. It is a long, hard recovery process. And each family has to weigh its options carefully. TCM is not just a medicine, it is also a philosophy and a mind-set toward a specific recovery path. An approach and a path that is not for everyone.

  • Im 13 and my dad who is 48 years old had a stroke on May 16, 2011. He was in the hospital for 3 and a half months. This is really motivating for him and me. I would really like to meet the Dearths and share what we have to say and what kept them going. Love you so much dad!

  • I'm friends with Sarah! & I like, Am Speeechhless :( I knew something about this but ya know.. I feel terrible for the family&You Doug. <3 Will continuely Pray for The Family&Devin, Really breaks my heart<3 

  • Very informative video.

    Metriks' FCE software allows the healthcare professional to objectively quantify and report on a person's functional abilities.

    

  • I think you are truly an amazing and BEAUTIFUL family. U all emulate what love and life represent! Im so sorry this is something you have gone through but you have changed the lives and most importantly HEARTS of soo many! I am a cancer survivor......I am now suffering from many effects from the chemo and think that what you have done is AMAZING! I am doing applied kinesiology,chiropractic, and accupuncture, NO more meds for me! I love you all and have begun prayers for your continued success!

  • I'm ever so sorry to hear about what has transpired. I am 47 was on parkinson's meds nine years ago and paralyzed for over two years. Went thru the worst. Did brain acupuncture for eight years as well as being bled bi-weekly. Brain is now supposedly 90.14 % strong. My acupuncturist is half a mile from my home. Was here b4 he got here. I have a degree in Chinese language. I'm caucasian. I'm now about as strong as a young horse and am real proud to be able to help others. Get back to me if u wish.

  • Inspirational video. Thank you for putting this together and sharing with us. My sister had a stroke and has limited mobility in her hand and challenges in speaking.

  • I ve discovered a traditional chinese medicine for post stroke recovery , its called neuroaid

  • I got the chance to spend time with the Darth family in China. As I was having stroke treatment at the same time in Tianjin.The treatment was great,the best care I have ever received.We all need to watch this movie.
