Functional changes

While there may be no complete cure for developmental disabilities like cerebral palsy, G Therapy has shown significant positive results in the treatment of conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, mental subnormality, etc.

Following are instances of testimonials and statistical data on functional changes seen with G Therapy. Improvements typically start in the first four weeks of treatment and a significant change is usually demonstrated on the video after 8-12 months period after starting G Therapy.

Few parents have noted improvements in the first four weeks of therapy itself like new words, more speech, ease of movements, bladder control, reduced irritability, reduced hyperactivity, reduced spasticity. However the improvements seem to plateau over a period of 3-4 months and a significant change is usually demonstrated on the video after 8-12 months period of starting G Therapy.

Improvements in speech

In patients who were refractory to speech therapy, G Therapy has been seen to give a sudden stimulation.

Mute children started babbling. Those with two word level speech, started making full sentences and progressively they became aware of time and sense of tense while speaking.

Improvement was also seen in clarity of speech, volume and articulation. Many children showed increase in vocabulary, memory and concentration.

With improvement in speech, children can now communicate better with the outside world about their needs, emotions and reactions; improved co-ordination of tongue and facial muscles improves the facial expression and the child becomes more vocally expressive and social.

Improvements in understanding, expressions and emotions

Definite improvements are seen in the above mentioned faculties with a treatment of 12-16 weeks. Those children who were vacant and non-responsive while watching T.V. started showing joy, anxiety etc.

After this treatment they became more eager to go out in parks and gardens, they became more playful. Now they wanted to listen to music. They started recognizing parents and strangers.

This has reduced the irritability of the child, improved sleep and has given a great relief to parents and care takers.

With growing understanding after treatment, the children started asking various questions about their surroundings to their parents, which was not done previously. They are now firm about their views.

Hyperactive children calmed down considerably without sedation. Naturally they became more alert, co-operative and started obeying simple commands. This has changed the panicky situations in their families.

Some children of age group of 10-16 started cleaning themselves on their own after toilet. Children who were dependent on their parents for bath and feedings, after this treatment, have started these activities on their own and now they enjoy life as never before.

Few of the female patients of 10-15 age group, who were unaware of closing the toilet door while using, after this treatment they becam conscious and started doing the same. This was a great relief to their parents.

Children became more cautios while walking on the road, with reference to potholes and other obstacles.

Autistic children have shown remarkable improvements. They are now more social with improved speech and eye contact. Autoplay is reduced. They now play with other siblings and are attached emotionally to them. (Statistical Data - autism)

The general reaction of most of the parents after starting G Therapy for their children is that there is definitely some change in the first two months, but they are unable to pin-point it. The child looks better.

The apparent change first noticed is that facial expressions become more normal. The skin colour and texture becomes healthy indicating definite improvement in circulation. These are the signs of rejuvenation.

Most of these children are prone to recurrent respiratory infections. After starting G Therapy, the incidence and severity of such infections is minimised. This in turn keeps the children away from febrile convulsions. Possibly G Therapy boosts the immune system of the body.

Motor Improvements

Children with severe motor involvement who were refractory to Occupational Therapy have shown miraculous response to this treatment. Scissoring is reduced to a great extent in some cases in just 12 weeks.

Vegetative children have started moving their limbs, started holding neck, some can even sit and crawl.

Before 6 Months	After 6 Months

Few children of age group 5 to 10 years, who were unable to walk without support, are now enjoying the freedom of walking. With just 8 months of the treatment they can walk without support.

In some children of age group of 10 to 20 years, toilet control was achieved after G Therapy.

Some can now tie shoe laces, dress independently and can button on their own, thus showing fine motor improvements and improved co-ordination.

This medicine helps in severe dystonia, extra pyramidal manifestations and spasticity following Encephalopathy. A boy suffered from severe Neonatal Jaundice on the 2nd day of life, and developed Bilirubin Encephalopathy. Till the age of 22 years he was fed in horizontal position only, could move only in sleeping position, and could sit only momentarily with support. Now after 8 months of treatment he can sit for almost 2 hours at a stretch in a chair. He can now enjoy his food in sitting position and can experience the outside world on his wheelchair. Words fail to describe his and his parents’ joy. For some children who had to gulp mashed food only, mastication is now possible after this treatment.

With improved posture and reduced involuntary choreo-athetoid movements, a pair of twins are back into the game of life, with just 10 months of treatment. They suffered from Bilirubin Encephalopathy on the 3rd day of their life and were suffering for almost 9 years.

Involuntary movements are reduced in cases of Kernicterus. In cases of Encephalitis, Cortical Atrophy and Degenerative Leucodystrophies, this drug has shown marked improvement at the sensory, motor and intellignece levels.

Children with poor visual perceptions, eye contact or squint have responded to the stimulus and a definite improvement in their visual status has been recorded. With a stimulated understanding and growing awareness of the world around them, children respond and interact positively and purposefully on various social levels. They gain not only increasing motor control, but approach, accept and adopt to their particular needs for Occupational and Physiotherapy.

This change in their physical and mental status can bring enormous relief to the parents and care-takers, and this feature facilitates and influences their normal mental and social development, as well as enhancing the quality of life, socially and emotionally.

They now have a positive and realistic attitude towards their specific needs and life in general. They experience this change as an undisputed everyday fact, not merely hopeful words or wishful thinking.

Whereas the disadvantaged rely very heavily on assistive technology, G. Therapy helps puts them back on their own two feet.
