Dear Marinka,
It is when I read interpretations like this that I wish that I too had learnt astrology. I find it so very fascinating! To be able to relate planetary alignments, transits and their strengths to our personalities and our lives is so amazing! Thank you!
My daughter started showing slight improvements beginning May and more so, towards end of May. Since then, she has been making regular, teeny-weeny improvements almost every week.
I was told by another person who checked my daughter's birth chart, that my daughter would start improving from April, but in very minute terms. He mentioned that starting Nov 2013, things will start looking up and her progress rate would be better. And from Sep 2014, it will get even better.
I am so pleased to hear similar interpretation from you as well. Kind of rekindles my hope for her.
Dear Vista,
Thanks a ton to you as well. I will now positively follow up with her doctors and have her pituitary, thyroid, thymus and adrenal glands checked as well. Like you mentioned earlier, who knows, it may be a very small issue which is affecting her overall health.
I have hypothyroid as well and I know how miserable I feel when my levels are out of range.
I am getting physical and feeding therapy for her from early intervention here. At the same time, I am also getting Ayurvedic treatment for her. And OMG! The results have been phenomenal! The improvements that I've been mentioning since end of May started 3 weeks after I started her ayurvedic treatment.
Where ayurvedic treatment is concerned, I am presently doing the following things:
(a) Using a medicated oil and doing marma massage. A marma point has been defined as an anatomical site where flesh, veins, arteries, tendons, bones and joins meet up. Each point has it's own intelligence and consciousness which co-ordinate with the mind and the body. These points are said to correspond to the internal organs and systems of the body which react to manual stimulation.
Her Ayurvedic doc did provide me with marma points from the top of her head to her sole...takes me about an hour to do it....but am amazed with the results!
My daughter's left leg was limp....she would not move it at all....and now she kicks with both her legs with such force!
The oil that has been recommended is said to help strengthen muscles and tone the nerves. It is recommended for nervous conditions, muscular dystrophy, emaciation and debilitation.
(b) Her anterior fontanelle is still open. So her ayurvedic doc wanted to put it to advantage. The fontanelle is the area where it is easy for the baby to soak medication. So here again, we use a medicated clarified butter, which I warm up (just lukewarm), soak a cotton ball in that oil and let it stay on her fontanelle for 3-4 hrs. This medicated butter is supposed to help with improving the person's intelligence and the ability to speak. Helps in brain health.
I guess because of the combination of various factors including the oil and the butter, my daughter now smiles at us, her responses are getting better, turns and looks at us when we talk, though not always (Oh...I forgot to mention earlier, she also has Cortical visual impairment)
(c) Soak raisins overnight, make a paste in the morning and give it to her on empty stomach. I also give her one date every day.
Since my daughter has low muscle tone, her bowel muscles also do not work well and hence she is always constipated. Now this approach of raisins/dates has helped ease that problem.
Ayurveda is a holistic approach to health. Thankfully her Ayurvedic doctor is working in conjunction with modern science. So we are eagerly awaiting the results from her muscle biopsy and other tests so that we can design her treatment appropriately
Ayurveda aims at healing and preventing illnesses via proper nutrition and hence when you mentioned about vitamin deficiency or lack of nutrition, it seems to make so much sense.
You know, when you are working on a puzzle, you have almost all except 1-2 pieces left....so you are almost there and yet not done...that's how I feel right now.
Thanks once again for all your suggestions. I cannot tell you enough as to how insightful it has been. If she does not have issues with any of the glands that you mentioned, atleast we would have stricken off that possibility and can get going with the other tests.
