Slow learning child or Down Syndrome
General characteristicsMost children with Down syndrome have some of the following physical traits:
Short stature. A child often grows slowly and, as an adult, is shorter than average.
Weak muscles throughout the body. A child may seem to have less strength than other children of the same age. Weak abdominal muscles also make the stomach stick out. Normally, children's stomach muscles gradually strengthen around age 2.
A short, wide neck with excess fat and skin. Usually, this trait is less obvious as the child gets older.
Short, stocky arms and legs. Some children also have a wide space between the big toe and second toe.
A single crease across the center of the palms of the hands. This is called a transverse palmar crease or simian line
Facial features
Down syndrome often results in distinct facial features, such as:
Small, low-set ears.
Irregularly shaped mouth and tongue. The child's tongue may partly stick out. The roof of the mouth (palate) may be narrow and high with a downward curve.
A nasal bridge that looks pushed in. The nasal bridge is the flat area between the nose and eyes.
Tissue buildup on the colored part of the eye (iris). These areas are known as Brushfield's spots and do not affect the child's vision.
Irregular and crooked teeth that often come in late and not in the normal sequence.
Other medical conditions
A child may have other medical conditions related to Down syndrome, such as:
Cognitive disability (mental retardation). Most children with Down syndrome have mild to moderate cognitive disability.
Heart defects. About 50% of children with Down syndrome are born with a heart defect.2 Most defects are diagnosed at birth or shortly thereafter.
Diseases such as hypothyroidism, celiac disease, and eye conditions.
Children with Down syndrome are also prone to developing other health problems. For example, respiratory infections, hearing problems, and dental problems are common.

Bufo Rana suits to children with small head (frog like appearence) Barayata suits to children with large head. But I recommend both medicine. In almost all cases improvments are seen.

WOW! This is so interesting. It would have never occurred to me that homeopathy could help a child with Down Syndrome.
I have the same question. How does homeopathy affect the child? Does it help them with his/her thinking?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZINGLY EDUCATIONAL THREAD.

Barayata carbonica
Bufo Rana
1. Barayata Carbonica:
Is specially indicated in infancy and old age. This remedy brings aid to scrofulous children, especially if they are backward mentally and physically, are dwarfish, do not grow and develop, have scrofulous ophthalmia, swollen abdomen, take cold easily, and then always have swollen tonsils.
It is number one medicine for autoimmunity disorders.
It would help in proper growth in children and believe it works wonders.
Lets say it works more on physical level of child.
2. Bufo Rana
Acts on the nervous system and skin. Uterine symptoms marked. Lymphangitis of septic origin. Symptoms of paralysis agitans. Striking rheumatic symptoms.Arouses the lowest passions. Causes a desire for intoxicating drink, and produces impotence.Of use in feeble-minded children. Prematurely senile. Epileptic symptoms. Convulsive seizures occur during sleep at night. More or less connected with derangements of the sexual sphere, seem to come within the range of this remedy. Injuries to fingers; pain runs in streaks up the arms.
Lets say it works more on neurological aspects on child.
Both Barayata Carbonica (and all Barium derivatives) and Bufo Rana has permanent effect in physical and mental growth in children.
Third medicine I used extensively is Belladonna-30 It works wonders in ADD, ADHD and Autism but effects are temporary. If Belladonna works this always tell is shortest amount of time (in few hours to a day or two) that the problem is curable. In that case once can find proper medicine with permanent effects. Anyway a dose of Belladonna works for a week then gradually effect slows down.

Thank you for the suggestions on sleep issues which have been long going issue with my daughter. You mentioned 2 remedies, do I give one on one day and the other the next or both in one day at different times? I'm sorry to say I have little knowledge of homeopath except the testimonials I hear and the few that I've tried with my daughter.

I did not know that hemeopathy can treat such cases, thank you for the valuable information. How long the medicines (Baryta carbonicum and Bufo Rana) should be taken? While dissolving the medicines in water, how much of the each medicine should be used?

Don't believe everything you read.
Baryta carb continuously will make your child more dull and lethargic.
Similar remedy
Single remedy
minimum dose
are fundamentals of homeopathy.

Homeopathy is not a 'this for that' therapy.
It is unfortunate that some people are maligning the name of homeopathy, with irresponsible prescriptions like these, and rising false hopes.

In the mean time, please note that Girilal is a very honored prescriber. I would suggest to try his prescription on wetdose (Bufo Rana 30 and Barayata Carbonica 30), even if you end up getting no testimonials on this post.
