Located in downtown Pune city’s dusty crowded locality of Bhavani Peth is the clinic where Dr. Gunvant Devendra Oswal practices. No, he isn’t your run-of-the-mill quack or even a barefoot faith healer, though his achievements may appear to make him so, but an erudite pioneer in the field of medicine: he is devoted to curing cerebral palsy (CP) and mental retardation (MR) victims.

It is common knowledge that CP and MR. Patients have only two outlets – physiotherapy and symptomatic drug therapy. Besides, these therapies can prove to be fruitful only if the respective centres in the brain are working.

Dr. Oswal’s formulation directly stimulates the brain centre which results in a change many times more effective than correctional methods.

Dr. Oswal’s patients, on a majority basis, are children who are afflicted by CP and MR. He has recorded about 400 cases of children who are being treated by G-therapy – a process he has developed himself.

Oswal’s procedure of treating each patient is one which involves a video recording of every stage of the child’s progress along with a regular monitoring of the changes. He admits that "there is no perfect cure or panacea for diseases like CP and MR but the rate of improvement depends on the damage suffered by the brain."

Oswal’s G-therapy process may be traced back to 1970 when acquired his Bachelor’s degree in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery and decided not to go in for routine practice but to take up cases conceming problems of the central nervous system. This posed a challenge since patients were known not to respond to any conventional treatment in those days.

"After an attack of paralysis, a patient can only under go physiotherapy which may help him to improve his speech or enhance movement on minute scale. The results of my G-therapy over a period of 24 years have been very encouraging and indicative of progress in the mental and physical build-up of a child."

About his mentor, Oswal says, "My father who was a bar-at-law at London University and who also practised homoeopathy is my idol. He worked actively for the Indian League in 1932 and also with Netaji Subhash Chandre Bose."

But surely as fire is clouded with smoke, so is any novel enterprise by doubt. Oswal has his critics, who challenge the very validity of his claims. He is stoical about their scepticism saying, "I invite my critics to come and see my videos and hear parents of the children speak about the changes that have developed over a subtle period of time. I can’t possibly have engineered 400 parents to talk in the same way." He is generously endorsed by the likes of Dr. Vasant Pai, the Director of the Department of Medicine at the KEM Hospital in Pune.

Although officially a cure is still in the offing since CP and MR is mosly congenital, Dr.Oswal’s treatment is just one among many in the long run to the perfect cure. On the whole, about 70% of his patients have begun showing positive results asis evident from the photographs and, more importantly, from the warm testimony of hundreds of patents.
