Hydrocephalus. Case No. 2887.
From the paper:
A baby was diagnosed as hydrocephalus in a large
university hospital and was brought in for chiropractic “very
soon after effect (enlarging of the head) was first noticed.” Thus,
permanent damage apparently was slight. Had many months passed
before case was brought to Chiropractic, the chances for
recovery would have been greatly decreased and there would
have been the probability of greater permanent distortion
even though causative factor had been entirely removed.
The
above is the case of a three-month-old male infant that had
a “normal birth: no instruments used.” The
MD had noticed that the baby’s head was growing faster
than the rest of the body and the baby was diagnosed with
hydrocephalus with “no hope held out for his recovery.”
A few days after his first adjustment the skin on his head
appeared “looser” and child was able to “wrinkle
brow more”. Eyes did not seem so deep-set. Both the
bowel and urine developed a strong odor.
By the 16th visit (approx.
3 weeks after 1st adjustment) “Skin
breaks out from poison in urine. Head change in shape and
size; not so feverish.”
Three days later “head gone down 1 ¾ inches
[in size].”
After a month at the clinic, the parents were
instructed to take the child to their local chiropractor for
continued observation.
A year later the child continued to do
well and was developing normally. “His head size is out
of proportion with his body size but he still has a lot of
growing (in his body) to do.”
The child had one adjustment.
