How To Treat Leukodystrophy ?

Hello doctor,My 3 Years daughter has diagnosed Leukodystrophy after MRI reports. Here is below detail history. She was born normal and had no disability at time of birth and physically also well . she start sitting at the age of 5-6 months. She stared walking at age of 1 Year with support and starts speak as well as normally this age group child can speak like little words like Mama, Ajao etc. when she got 1.5 years she has no such improvement she play with toys but doesn’t walk without support so at the time doctors say that her developments is slow as compared to other but overall she is ok. She play with toys and obey our instruction. But at the age of 2 Year she got ear infection & fever(106) , doctor advised that give her shower with fresh water ASAP to control his fever as well advised some antibiotics . After her recovery it was observed later 2-3 months that she did not respond on our calling. Moreover she stop speaking and reduce her physical activities. At that time she was again medical checkup completely and found infection in her inner ears. Moreover doctors has evaluate his development and reports that she is cerebral palsy and recommend for therapies. We have continue her therapies to treat Cerebral palsy. but there was no improvement. Then her MRI was performed and following results are reported. Multiecho Multiplanar images through the brain were performed. Bilateral symmetrical T2W hyper intense signal abnormality seen along centrum semiovale and periventricular white matter suggestive of leukodystrophy. Ventricular system and extra-ventricular CSF spaces are prominent. No evidence of intra extra axial mass or hemorrhage, Brainstem and both cerebellar hemispheres appear normal. Pituitary gland and optic chiasm are normal. 7th &8th nerve complexes are normal & symmetrical bilaterally. Conclusion : Bilateral symmetrical T2W hyper intense signal abnormally along ceutrum semiovale and periventricular white matter suggestive of Leukodystrophy.. One more thing it is very difficult to feed her from beginning because mostly she pull out food from mouth and some time to vomit. . We like to know is any homeopathic medicine present to treat her or make her life back in full swing. Any help in this case would be highly appreciated. Best regards MUSTAFA P: +0923 004 116 117

Pediatrician 's  Response
By your history this is a case of progressive degenerative diseaseof brain parenchyma. leukodystrophy is also a type of that. in this the development of baby is normal initially but as time passes they lag behind other children.
there is no cure for this condition and this is progressive also. there is no treatment in homeopathy for that but certain alllopathic medication are present to assist in feeding and better life.
