The Two Hemispheres of Lucca
by Barbara Anderson
Written in a straightforward tone, Argentinian journalist Barbara Anderson tells the story of her son, Lucca, and the trip his family took with him to India for a futuristic treatment for the cerebral palsy he suffered from birth. Telling the story of the trip is also telling the story of how Barbara and her husband deal with the challenges of raising a child with an irreversible diagnosis. But the trip to India was life-changing…for everyone. Lucca became one of the first children to take two 28-day treatments with Indian scientist Rajah Kumar, in 2017 and 2019. Kumar is the inventor and developer of a groundbreaking neurogenesis treatment using Cytotron, a revolutionary technology. Lucca’s story does not end at the treatment, as Barbara championed the idea of bringing Cytotron to Mexico.
