Cure for Periventricular Leukomalacia in Homeopathy

Hi all,

My one year old kid was diagnosed with Periventricular Leukomalacia after an MRI scan recently. Going by doctor's advice and various internet sites, it seems that there is no cure for this - except for treating it on a symptomatic basis along with regular physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

History of my kid:
-> Pre-term baby. Born 30 weeks + 4 days. Mother had placenta pre via (antepartum hemorrhage). Had to do emergency c-section.
-> Birth weight: 1.77 Kg.
-> Was in NICU for 23 days. Ventilated for 3 days.
-> Started smiling at people in the 3rd/4th month
-> Complete head control only in the 9th month
-> Does not roll over yet. Rolls back if he is placed on his tummy though. Sleeps on his sides usually. Recently has started rolling over (very very occasionally) in his sleep
-> Does not crawl even if placed on his tummy.
-> Does not sit yet.
-> If he is made to sit in a chair or in a corner or on a sofa, or swing he sits without issues. No control in sitting without support though.
-> Has squint in both his eyes. We are patching his eyes (patch one eye and make him see through the other) for one hour every day.
-> No seizure/fits history
-> Does have tremors on his legs occasionally.


Questions I have:
1. Is Periventricular Leukomalacia treatable by homeopathy? (I read in some cases Cerebral palsy is curable thru homeopathy)
2. How does the treatment work?
3. Will my kid be able to walk normally - will his intelligence be impacted as well?

Thanks for all the advice in advance!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
A homeopath may need the following details for suggesting a remedy to your kid.

1. all physical symptoms, mental symptoms, sleep pattern, bowel movements, thermal preference, appetite etc. of your kid.

2. the state of mother during pregnancy may be deeply inquired into.

The treatment will start after above details and may continue for a long time. There are no remedies for disease conditions in homeopathy but there are remedies for individuals. So you should see a good homeopath in person if you can. If you can't do that you may write here all details sought above.

Thanks a lot for your reply Dr. Kadwa.

We are planning to take my kid to a qualified Homeopath. If it is okay to ask - would you be able to give us some references for Pediatric Homeopath's in Chennai who specialize in such cases?

To answer your queries:
->Physical Symptoms:
Mild to moderate stiffness in all four limbs. Able to flex them though. Stands with support. Sits with support. Trunk control is less without support/falls over. Has squint in both eyes. Usually keeps his hands with palms facing downwards. Doesn't bring them facing upward. Has stiffness when facing upward - but does it without crying. Grasps things from as small as a pencil to as big as a ball. No pincer grasp yet.

-> Mental Symptoms:
Maintains eye contact. Smiles at known people. Does not go to unknown people. Responds to people calling his name (even to unknown folks). Looks in the pointed direction. Does not look at his mom/dad when asked for. Does not say amma/appa. Does blabber some words (not sure if he understands them). Keeps talking when happy. Tries to jump when happy. Realizes when I am angry with him and reacts to it by crying. Cries when his toy falls down till he gets it. Cries/murmurs for food when he is hungry or when he sees what he likes to eat.

-> Sleep Pattern:
Sleeps from 9 pm in the night to 6 am in the morning. Sleeps an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. sometimes one more hour in the evening.

-> Bowel habits:
Fair regular every morning. Sometimes twice a day. Skips occasionally - but never a problem

-> Thermal preference:
Prefers when it is ventilated well and it is moderately cold. Sweats profusely when hot. Cannot sleep when it is hot

-> Apetite:
Good appetite. Eats semi-solids and solids crushed well - doesn't chew - mostly swallows. Eats most things. Except for a couple of weeks when he had a slight cold, apetite/food intake has never been a problem.

State of the mother during Pregnancy:
-> For the last 6 weeks before my kid was born, my wife was bed-ridden as she was not supposed to move much because of placenta previa. Doctor did not give much of a chance - so it is fair to say that she was deeply stressed during that time. Before that, it was fine and she had a happy pregnancy.
Health wise she was healthy through and through.

I have tried to be as verbose and detailed as possible. Please do let me know if you need further details. Thanks much for showing interest. We are desperately hoping that this too shall pass and our kid shall turn out okay.

Please visit any homeopath in Chennai who gives at least half an hour for case taking. There are many remedies like calc carb, silicea, baryta carb that may help your child. Please see a homeopath with reasonable reputation and show patience when he treats your child.

Best Wishes.
