What is the cure for Spina Bifida?

Answer 1

The only information I have found on-line regarding Homeopathy for Spina Bifida resulted in a very interesting =O exchange of ideas between a student of Homeopathy and a "learned practitioner" of over 20 years. For reference ❝ ❞ is a "snippet" of ideas and not to be taken as a diagnoses or treatment plan.

❝It is a tumor of the spine. The suggested treatment is: xxx

I have helped to avert surgery in many cases of pilonidal sinus...

The causation is hereditary due to the presence of a miasma passed on from previous generations.

There could be cases of TB in the family, father's side or mother's side. Check family medical history of uncles and aunts in addition to that of parents, grand parents etc. ❞

As limited as my knowledge of homeopathy is he may have hit something with the miasmas, something Western Medicine would likely call genetic change or damage. It seems every ailment known to this on-line practitioner is caused by TB in the family. The homeopathic medications for TB should not be considered as treatment for Spina Bifida so for my own peace of mind I am not putting them in this comment, as we know Spina Bifida is not a tumor of the spine or elsewhere. On-line medical advice of the Homeopathic or Western type is only as good as the medical school the practitioner graduated from.

A pilonidal cyst or sinus is not thought to be related to Spina Bifida rather is a formed by a "follicular occlusion" which is blocking and causing inflammation of pores in the midline of the buttocks.

I believe there may have been a language barrier or possibly a site "translator" In my opinion not a safe way to practice medicine. Your best and safest possibility in Homeopathy is to find one in your area by recommendations from other practitioners, friends or from employes of your local health food store.

Answer 2

There is no cure for Spina Bifida. It is a birth defect, not a disease.

There is a fetal surgery that can sometimes be done in utero that will minimize the damage, but not completely fix the defect. After birth with with the more severe forms of Spina Bifida surgery is done to close the lesion, preventing further damage to the spinal cord and infection. As the child grows there are numerous other complications that can come with Spina Bifida and are addressed and treated as they pop up.

People with the least severe form, Spina Biifda Occulta, may live their entire lives without ever knowing they have it because it can sometimes be asymptmatic though most develop some pain issues in adulthood and do get diagnosed after an x-ray, CT scan or MRI.
