Diagnosis
Cerebral Palsy can rarely be diagnosed with certainty during early infancy, and specific syndromes often cannot be characterized until age 2.
Homeopathic concept
The Syphilitic miasm is the main cause for the development of Cerebral Palsy. The miasmatic predominance in both parents accounts for the tendency for genetic defects. The miasmatic influence run in the families of both parents. The syphilitic miasm disturb the metabolism of the higher centers to produce deficient growth from brain to bone and blood.
Kent’s view
“It is impossible to get the symptoms and wants of a child especially in an infant except by interpreting its Gestures”.
Boger’s view
“Objective phenomena being the least deceptive, by their great utility have contributed much to the brilliant success of Homoeopathy, particularly in the diseases of children”

We would really appreciate your respone. Thank you

Hello sir,
its my Daughter Case.please Help me i want your Expert opinions so that she could Live a Healthy and Normal life. Thanks These are details My daughter got interception at the age of 7 months due to the continuous vomiting.after a few day of the operation the burst abdomen occurred,after which she got sepsis followed by septic shock.After a few days meningitis appeared and the blood platelets were reduced to the lowest level .then she was shifted to ICU for further treatment and she recovered from all these problems But the Matter of Concern is that at the present age of 4 years She is unable to Talk, cannot hold any thing in her hands and the worst point that she can not even sit properly rather than moving and walking of a child at this age. She is normal not healthy v week but no obvious problem. Growing normally not holding her head She is improving in supporting her head about 30%but still some times she could not hold it properly. She can not sit without any support.usually using couch or some thing behind her back. she is efficient in identifying parents and her toys and things which she use and when pointed to some where she looks their properly and hear properly.but can not speak properly but produce voices. She has normal saliva but the fluids come out of her mouth regularly. upper and lower body is OK.she cannot maintain her self to move and walk neither can turn to another side but struggle for it. lower limbs r weak but it may be due to weakness and the movement of legs is ok. paw fingers are curved inside when we try her to walk or to stand on foot. Regarding This Matter i want your Expert opinions so that she could Live a Healthy and Normal life.
