The Patient still had a weak right limb, pain, unstable walking, ptosis of lower labial angle to the left, salivation and slurred speech. After the sessions, the slurred speech and other symptoms were gone or greatly improved. Two months later, during a session of reflexology, a mass on dorsal side of 2nd segment of great toe near FRZ tonsil was found. After a 3 minutes session of foot reflexology, his speech was almost normal.
