“From a Chinese Professor who learnt the tips below from a Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in Sun Juke.”

This email was circulated for everybody’s knowledge. The instructions were to ensure that others get to see it for its potential to save lives. When a stroke strikes, the capillaries in the brain will gradually burst. When a this occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her.

If moved, the capillaries may burst. Help the victim sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over. Get a syringe or needle or pin. If using a needle or pin, place it over a fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tip of the patient’s all 10 fingers. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about a mm from the fingernail. Prick till blood comes out. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.

When all 10 fingers are bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness. If the victim’s mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they can bleed when pricked. Then prick each earlobe twice until two drops of blood come from each earlobe. After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness. Wait till the victim regains his/her normal state without any abnormal symptoms, then take them to the hospital. Rushing with the patient to the hospital in a vehicle will cause the capillaries in his brain to burst and, therefore, complicate matters even more.
