A German mother holds her 8-year-old son in a Shanghai hospital August 22, 2004. Her son, Dominic, suddenly became unconscious on May 15 after saying feeling dizzy and nausea. Doctors in Germany and Britain she visited all said her son could never become conscious again. By chance, she asked a doctor in Germany to apply acupuncture on Dominic, he opened his eyes. The mother began to believe that acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine would be only way to save his son, and they came to China. Now, Dominic is treated in Shanghai Huashan Hospital. Doctors at the hospital say they will do their best to treat Dominic but are not sure they could cure the disease because no one knows for sure the cause of this disease. [newsphoto]
