Causes: Usually such cases make their origin at birth time, when new born baby is not able to start breathing from its lungs, which is a must procedure so that baby can start taking air for body through nose & lungs. While she is in womb of mother air is supplied for baby's body through placenta. After birth placenta need to be cut for making baby to lead its independent life in open air. Now when baby is not able to breath air through nose, the lungs does not inflate & start respiratory procedure. In the mean time brain requires regular supply of oxygen. I brain is not supplied oxygen for few minutes say about 3minutes or so, damage starts setting in. The area which is damaged might be the controlling center of certain physical parts of baby's body, so that part goes into paralysis. If area affected in brain is controlling limbs, baby's limbs are affected, if eyes controlling center is affected in brain then eyes may be affected, and so on. This is how a cerabral palsy case settles in right at the birth time of patient. Treatment: -There is no conventional therapy available atleast in ALLOPATHIC SYSTEM as per my knowledge. -There is hope available in HOMOEOPATHIC SYSTEM, because of one reason. HOMOEOPATHIC SYSTEM works through NERVOUS SYSTEM, so it helps ameleorate the conditions of nervous system & further dependent parts affected. The only requirement is to MATCH THE SYMPTOMS PERFECTLY & give rightly choosen medicine to patient for a long time may be months or years. -As a pediatrician is needed at the time of delivery by the side of gynaecologist, it is also necessary to MAKE SURE THE PRESENCE OF A HOMOEOPATHIC DOCTOR too in the delivery room, because if there are chances of brain going into anoxic/asphyxial shock, THERE ARE MEDICINES WHICH CAN BE GIVEN TO NEW BORN & much of the damage can be PREVENTED, as after the delivery as much time passes off, the case more & more starts shifting towards a permanent DISABILITY, which will still have to be put on HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES, THEN WHY NOT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINING? I think Governments should start looking on to the RESTRUCTURING OF HEALTH SYSTEM for the betterment of human beings. -There is also remarkable affect seen in patients of this type with the help of TOUCH THERAPY. One should try this must by the side of HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT.

Cerebral palsy is a medical condition caused by a permanent brain injury that occurs before, during, or shortly after birth. The primary characteristic of cerebral palsy is a lack of muscle control and movement. Cerebral palsy is not a progressive disease, however, the effects have been known to change over time. Although the cause of cerebral palsy is not known for certain, there is evidence that links it to both the health history of the mother and child, and accidents causing brain damage. The diagnosis of cerebral palsy is often made immediately after birth, but it can also be made later in childhood. Cerebral palsy may cause a number of symptoms, including seizures, spasms, visual and hearing problems, hyperactivity, and learning disorders. There is not a cure, however several therapies are available for the treatment of cerebral palsy. Although living with cerebral palsy can be difficult, it is certainly possible to be successful while coping with the disorder. It can also be a challenge if you are a parent of a child with cerebral palsy. However, there are many resources available to assist you in learning how to help your child cope. If there is a possibility of an injury to your child before, during, or shortly after birth, it is important to contact an attorney to discuss your legal rights. source: cerebral palsy information

BRAIN - The Human Brain
True that cerebral palsy is a permanent brain injury, but the severity of cerebral varies from person to person. Some people have only mild brain damage; therefore, they are only mildly affected, while others have severe brain damage and are severly handicapped. Physcial/Speach/Occupational therapy are all helpful in the treatment of this disease. However, these therapies and the effects that they have in improving the life of those affected by cerebral palsy varies.

That is the right causes mentioned above.But i need to share some ideas in case of cerebral palcy as i think that i have some thing different to response. Beside the above causes i have watched something more in case of cerebral palcy:- 1.The major reason is it in case of symtems is the initial stage of suffocations which the patient feel due to the lacking in the enviornment.The celebral palcy is the major effect of long prevention from certain cures.this is a major problem if any body ignore it. 2.Many times we take this as genetic disease and it is also.But in some cases i have watched that parents who have no such simtems ,there kids are also affected by the disease.This is more amazing.So there need a seprate rule by which it can be analyzed. 3.When compared to kids in poor enviornment that is when the feel more insecurity then it is also amazing for them to handle.In such cases child need proper care that is sympathy and training to learn things. 4.Love can always be beneficial for peoples in cases when they have cerebralpalcy.I think this is one of the best medicines.And finally i think a lots of research is going in this direction so that peoples who have that or kids suffering from that must contact doctor for that purposes.

My grandson who is my picture was born with cp thanks to an idiot doctor. He is now 2 and was just put on a feeding tube since he kept asperating. It is a very sad think to know that he cannot run or even talk. He tries to say a couple of words. He also has epilepsy thanks to the dr. and he is on 3 different meds. We try to work with him by massages and he will now have a therapist coming out to try to get him to have head contrl and loosen up his muscles.
