SPINA BIFIDA IS THE TERM APPLIED TO THE MALFORMATIONS OF THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN INVOLVING INCOMPLETE EMBRYOLOGIC CLOSURE OF ONE OR MORE OF THE VERTEBRAL ARCHES, MOST FREQUENTLY IN THE LUMBOSACRAL REGION.

THE VERTEBRAL DEFECT IS FREQUENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH DEFECT IN THE NEURAL TUBE STRUCTURES AND THEIR COVERINGS. THE BONY DEFECT IS FOUND TO BE OF VARYING DEGREE. THE LEAST SERIOUS FORM IS SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA, IN WHICH THERE IS ONLY VERTEBRAL DEFECT BUT NO ABNORMALITY OF THE SPINAL CORD AND ITS MENINGES.

THE SITE OF BONY DEFECT IS MARKED BY SMALL DIMPLE, OR A HAIRY PIGMENT MOLE IN THE OVER LYING SKIN. THE LARGE BONY DEFECT, HOWEVER, APPEARS AS A DISTINCT CYSTIC SWELLING OVER THE AFFECTED SITE CALLED SPINA BIFIDA CYSTICA. THE LATTER IS ASSOCIATED WITH HERNIATION OF THE MENINGES OR THE SPINAL CORD, OR BOTH.

THERE IS NO MEDICINE FOR THE TREATMENT / CURE OF THE SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA / CYSTICA.

AUTOPATHY [AAA- THERAPY] TREATMENT ALONG WITH ANTIOXYDANTS GIVEN TO SUCH PATIENTS FOR THREE MONTHS ONLY, SHOWS MIRACULOUS RESULTS. WITHIN THREE TO SIX MONTHS OF THE AUTOPATHY TREATMENT THE VERTEBRAL DEFECT DISAPPEARS. DRASTIC REGRESSION IS NOTICED IN THE DEFECTS IN THE NEURAL TUBE STRUCTURES AND IN THEIR COVERINGS BY THE END OF YEAR AFTER THE FIRST THREE MONTHS’ COURSES OF THE AUTOPATHY TREATMENTS. IF SOME PROBLEMS WITH CYSTIC SWELLING AND HERNIATION OF THE MENINGES OF THE CORD OR BOTH ARE LEFT [IN CASE OF SPINA BIFIDA CYSTICA] THE AAA-AUTOPATHY TREATMENT IS REPEATED FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS WITH ANTIOXYDANTS – SAY, FREE CAD.

YOUNGER THE AGE OF PATIENTS BETTER / FASTER IS RECOVERY. PATIENTS’ GROUPS OF SEVEN TO TWELVE  [AVERAGE NINE] YEARS OF THE AGE ARE IDEAL FOR AAA- AUTOPATHY TREATMENT FOR SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA / CYSTICA.THE AGE GROUPS EXCEEDING EIGHTEEN YEARS AND ABOVE RESPONSE VERY SLOW, RATHER POOR, TO THE AAA- AUTOPATHY TREATMENT FOR SPINA BIFIDA CYSTICA.
