Acupuncture Treatment of Severe Traumatic Injury to the Third Cranial Nerve: A Case Study

In the following case history, acupuncture was used to successfully treat severe damage to the third cranial nerve (and possibly the optic nerve) in a 70 year-old male, which had been caused by traumatic injury. There was considerable probability that without treatment the damage to the nerve would not be reversed. This is the third case study on severe eye disorders cured solely by acupuncture published by the author. In all of these cases, acupuncture was shown to be superior to conventional medicine, which did not provide a clinical solution.
