I have not seen it as extremely rare, provided that homeopathy is part
of the solution.
My cousin (Gwen Heeley) works almost exclusively with paralysis victims,
especially stroke victims to restore activity to the paralysed side of
the body, and has great success with a combination of physiotherapy
where one half "learns" from the other half during mirror movement of
both sides (assisted initially), plus homeopathy. I saw some of her
successes back in the 80s.
She also taught me homeopathy initially - and one of my own first cases
involving brain/spine damage was a newborn kitten badly brain damaged
right after birth with severe head trauma, left with loss of
heat-seeking and suck reflex as well as complete non-use of limbs. She
is currently a 13 year old cat called Frigga, a real bright spark of a
cat, photo here:

[Her Phos constitutional type happens to be described there too]
Her case was a lot of work as I had to get food into her and stimulate
other functions etc for about 2 weeks till she regained heat-seeking to
her mother, and a suck reflex. Even then I had to hold her to a teat as
she did not have the co-ordination to do it (limbs not right yet) while
other boisterous kittens were also pushing and shoving. It was 6 weeks
before she had full use of her faculties and limbs, but after that she
was in full health and had full intelligence.
My next brain/spine case was my cat Odin. He was kicked almost to death
by a neighbour who caught him eating goslings that wandered over from
next door. I'll skip the gory details but one aspect was complete
paralysis from the base of the tail. I refused the recommended tail
amputation of the limp, dragging long tail and used homeopathy - which
indeed gradually restored function taking some months of daily applied
hypericum lotion though initially I only used arnica 1M daily for
injuries and the vet used long-acting pain killers to give the cat time
to decide whether he really wanted to live (he made it crystal clear)
despite his serious condition. It could be a long story but the short
version is that the tail some months later was able to be swished about
as new. See Odin on this web page:
http://www.angelfire.com/fl/furryboots/loki.html
[In the 2nd photo he is swishing his tail in irritation as his
girlfriend is in the next room waiting for him and he is being expected
to pose for photos first. And yes they had lovely kittens despite the
fact he used to have lack of function "back there" and was actually shot
through the scrotum twice during the same incident.]
Something else amazing happened with this cat. His ears had been
kicked off. Well - They regenerated! The vet who saw this happening a
quarter inch at a time was flabbergasted, he'd never seen ears
regenerate. Nor had I. The photos at the website link are from after the
incident - and you can clearly see the cat has ears:-)
My third brain/spine case was a cat called Misty, hit by a car and left
paralysed from the waist down. She was dumped off in a catbox with a
breeder I knew who had a boarding place for cats, and I was contacted
because of the breed of the cat and my involvement in homeopathy (I
breed Norwegian Forest Cats and this was one). We managed to find out
that the cat had been left with a broken back for three weeks with no
vet care. It was arranged for Vicki to become the owner (by threatening
the previous one with a cruelty action) and I offered to do my best with
homeopathy. It took a long time - but Vicki cleaned up and nursed the
incontinent cat who was paralysed waist down. I suggested remedies.
Later Misty asked to be carried to the litter as needed, and sometimes
got there "in time" and still later had better control of timing. Still
later she started to support herself by using two back legs as one leg,
held together as a pegleg to hop about on, and instead of dragging
herself about by her front legs, she now could peg-leg about marvelously
- upright - on what amounted to three legs though with minimal balance
at the rear, easily knocked over. Interestingly the other cats respected
her need not to be knocked sideways. Still later she regained more
function and used both legs independently. I moved away before the case
completed - but did get an email from the owner that her cure was
nothing short of miraculous to see in the end. It was again mostly
Hypericum lotion that did the trick - along with nursing care and
patience, as nerves are slow to regrow. (Misty also got Arnica initially
- and symphytum and other remedies for her various aspects of ill tended
car wreck damage.)
I realize my own cases are all cat cases - but the principle and ability
for homeopathy for success is the same in any species. I think people
just give up too easily - or assume it is not fixable - or do not have
the patience to do something that is not an instant result -
.....when actually I do not know what homeopathy can *not* do:-))
I always assume it can - till proved otherwise (hence my tagline, just
consider homeopathy to be the "it").
Namaste,
Irene
