Brought to you by the Acupuncture Now Foundation and award winning film maker Doug Dearth, this touching documentary chronicles the stories of two young boys diagnosed with brain cancer who were cared for at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in the city of Orange, California.
Facing the complications from brain surgery and their upcoming chemotherapy treatments, CHOC neurosurgeon, Dr. William Loudon, suggests to Cade and Max’s parents that they try something outside the box and introduces them to CHOC hospital acupuncturist Ruth McCarty.
Over the next few years, this unique treatment approach helps ease the fatigue, nausea and pain so common in cancer victims while Cade is also helped to recover from a devastating stroke he suffered after his second brain surgery.
Please share this documentary with others to help them understand how valuable acupuncture can be even in children with the most serious illnesses.
