Managing children with brain diseases, such as autism and cerebral palsy, is a complex and sensitive task that requires a combination of professional knowledge, patience, and care. In this regard, Hong Kong registered Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Tianci has proposed three major suggestions for managing children with brain diseases.

Patient Tan Xiaoxia, who benefited from the "Angel Action" program, was diagnosed with congenital cerebral palsy at birth. At the age of 17 during her first consultation, she relied on a wheelchair for daily activities, had stiff limbs, and suffered from qi deficiency and blood weakness, along with long-term reduced mobility and low immunity. Thanks to her parents' unwavering determination and Chinese medicine treatment, her sleep and joint mobility have improved.

Chief physician Huang Tianci stated that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "treating the root cause of the disease." The main causes of health issues can be categorized into two major types: congenital deficiencies (such as premature birth, genetic disorders, rare diseases, and conditions like cerebral palsy) and acquired malnutrition (such as diseases caused by infections, poor behavioral habits, or medical accidents leading to brain hypoxia).

Preventing "congenital deficiencies" is closely related to parents' physical condition, age, smoking and drinking habits, diet, exercise, medication, and lifestyle before family planning. In Huang's clinical cases of 880 brain disease patients over the past four years, about 60% were cerebral palsy patients, approximately 25% were autistic, and 3% had rare diseases or disabilities due to surgical complications. It was also found that if cerebral palsy patients start receiving certain medications, such as diazepam and bisphosphonates, before the age of three, it may affect their language learning during the critical period of 2 to 3 years old and hinder their curiosity during the long rehabilitation process, leading to various irreversible acquired malnutrition issues.

1. "Congenital deficiencies" can be remedied later, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the foundation.

First, it is necessary to focus on strengthening the foundation, enhancing brain circulation, and reducing the accumulation of metabolic waste in the brain. Appropriate Chinese medicine can also be used to address health issues and improve various symptoms of cerebral palsy through active exercise. For example, parents should guide their children to develop curiosity about things from a young age, encouraging them to take the first step or reach out to grab objects, thereby stimulating the coordination between the child's brain and muscles.

Professor Huang suggested that if the child is not in immediate danger, it is advisable to consult with professional physicians who have relevant successful experience and consider the actual situations of other patients. Treatment should not be done for the sake of treatment or medication for the sake of medication, as children's bodies are as fragile as tender sprouts in spring, and the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired health, responsible for nutrient absorption.

2. The key to preventing acquired malnutrition is the rehabilitation process.

Due to the long rehabilitation period for children with brain diseases, it is easy to lack a comprehensive long-term rehabilitation plan during this time, often falling into the trap of "malnutrition."

For example, after being diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Xiaoxia received various medical services and underwent corrective surgery for her clubfoot. However, she still faced long-term issues with cold limbs and edema, and her muscle tone problems remained unresolved. Professor Huang, who learned from his father, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner specializing in orthopedics, applied the traditional Chinese medicine principle of "external treatment corresponds to internal treatment" to treat Xiaoxia's cerebral palsy. She is now able to use utensils and go to the toilet independently, and during the three years of the pandemic, she did not contract any infections. She is now able to start a new life in a social institution.

3. Meridian treatment.

As early as thousands of years ago, anatomy was applied in traditional Chinese medicine, as recorded in the "Inner Canon": "The dead can be dissected for observation, and the hardness and fragility of the organs are consistent with modern medicine, which believes that the human body is a holistic metabolic system that transforms food into energy needed by the body, which is then delivered through different channels.
This energy is transported to various organs and tissues of the body, allowing it to function continuously.

Professor Huang applies this to the treatment of brain diseases, where the meridian system runs throughout the body and plays an important role in regulating and treating diseases. Meridian treatment can be conducted through acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine to adjust the body's energy balance.

How to prevent and treat the changes associated with autism.

Based on the principles of preventing disease progression and "treating the root cause of the disease," the "location" of autism lies in the brain, which falls under the category of "marrow sea" in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, addressing the congenital deficiencies of the "marrow sea" can be remedied later, such as improving the brain's congenital developmental deficiencies by promoting the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the "marrow sea." The goal is to prevent normal oxygen supply to the brain and the discharge of metabolic waste while improving sleep quality, which helps the patient's self-repair ability at night.

The human body is a holistic metabolic system where the central nervous system of the brain governs all organs and emotional states. According to a 2015 research report by the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, the "meridians" referred to in traditional Chinese medicine exist in the gaps between tissues (muscles). These meridians are believed to be extracellular fluid channels with volume transmission functions, known as "Low Hydraulic Resistance Channels."

This research provides relevant information on the symptoms of brain diseases and meridian treatment, aligning with the traditional Chinese medicine view that meridians are a system that runs throughout the body and regulates bodily functions. The "meridians" differ from the circulatory and nervous systems, serving as another channel for communication with the central nervous system of the brain. For example, during the long rehabilitation period, preventing complications caused by respiratory infections is a topic that both patients and parents must pay attention to. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the patient's mobility to prevent the early decline of the respiratory muscles (smooth muscles of the respiratory and digestive tracts), which could affect the normal functioning of the respiratory and digestive systems, as muscle health is the body's barrier.

It is important to note that each patient's situation is unique, and treatment methods should be adjusted according to the individual's specific condition. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be combined with Western medical diagnosis and treatment to achieve better results. During the treatment period, patients should follow the guidance and advice of professional physicians.
