Every so often, a story comes along that makes you stop and reconsider what you thought was possible. Yesterday, while watching a seminar on Micro-current Point Stimulation (MPS), I heard one of those stories.
During a live demo, the instructor invited a random woman from the audience and began releasing some acupuncture points. What he didn’t know was that this woman had been blind in one eye since a stroke. She had lost her depth perception, which made driving unsafe, and had given up her license years earlier.
After just five minutes of trigger point release, something incredible happened—her vision came back. For the first time in five years, she could see with both eyes.
But then, just 20 minutes later, her vision disappeared again. Imagine the heartbreak. It looked like she was about to face the disappointment of her life. Fortunately, the instructor didn’t give up. He tried two different trigger points, and to everyone’s surprise, her vision returned once more—this time permanently. She has been able to see normally ever since.
A Similar Story Closer to Home
Skeptical? I get it. Some people might dismiss this as “too good to be true.” But I’ve heard similar recoveries firsthand.
One of my classmates in Craniosacral Therapy training had been suffering from Optical Neuralgia ever since her son accidentally flashed a bright light directly into her eye. She could see outlines, but not faces. Doctors prescribed medication, but it caused side effects like diarrhea without improving her vision.
She eventually gave up on conventional treatments. Years later, during a Craniosacral class, her partner performed a technique known as a Sphenoid release. She lay with her eyes closed for about 10 minutes while the technique was applied. When she opened her eyes, her vision was completely restored. The neuralgia was gone.
But Does It Work Every Time?
The common counterargument is: “Well, it doesn’t work 100% of the time.” And that’s true. But here’s the reality—nothing works 100% of the time.
The important point is that sometimes the body surprises us. Sometimes techniques outside of the conventional box open doors to healing we didn’t think possible. And there’s one thing I’ve seen consistently: the power of a positive attitude. Believing in recovery doesn’t guarantee success, but it certainly improves the odds.
So, is it too good to be true? Not always. Sometimes it’s just good enough to try.
