PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Also called Little's Disease or Congenital Spastic Paralysis, this condition is usually the result of developmental defects in the brain or central nervous system or from trauma at birth. It is a non-progressive, symmetrical and bilateral paralysis although the physical and mental defects may not be fully evident for several years after birth.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Spastic, ataxic, and athetoid types of this paralysis are seen depending upon whether the cortex, cerebellum or the basal ganglia is affected most severely. Mixtures of these types are the rule. About 70% of these cases show apparent mental retardation.

TREATMENT:

Regardless of the extent of the pathology and accompanying symptoms, treatment is basically the same from a nutritional viewpoint. Nutritional Therapy will not restore destroyed brain or nerve cells, but it can greatly aid in the development of functional control via collateral cells in the brain and central nervous system. It also goes a long way to relieving the terrible stress seen in these patients. It can build strength and resistance to infection and intercurrent secondary disease invasion, and it very often improves the mental outlook of these patients as they become mature.
