Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Medical Intervention Therapy
The Hypothesis
Everyone has many brain functions. We normal persons, depending on our
fancy or compulsion, develop one or more of these functional abilities to the
limit to make a livelihood out of it, like a guitar player or a cricketer or a
singer or a dancer, and so on.
Special need children also have some functions remaining behind, which the
Therapists work on to develop them to their fullest extent to try and
compensate for lost functions to the degree possible. However, after that has
been achieved to an anticipated extent, a time comes when further progress
stops as the child has already developed the remnant functions to the maximum
limit possible.
Regenerative Medicine
This is where Regenerative Medicine comes in. Regenerative Medicine is an attempt to restore a variable
amount of damaged but not dead brain (anoxic penumbra). That is like adding an
external USB Hard Disk to a computer whose irreplaceable internal hard disk has
lost a part of its storage capacity due to bad sectors. However, these methods
work best below 5 years of age, and preferably below teen age as far as
possible.
