  • Overview

    El libro que inspiró la exitosa película de Netflix Lucca’s World.

    El viaje a India de un niño mexicano para reparar su cerebro con un tratamiento futurista.

    Bárbara Anderson narra con brutal franqueza el día a día de tener un hijo con discapacidad: los retos dentro y fuera de casa, las complicaciones de salud y de vida; los cambios de prioridades; el Everest de cada día al tener un hijo con -hasta ahora- un diagnóstico irreversible como es la parálisis cerebral infantil.


    La autora detalla cómo emprende un viaje a India con toda su familia para que Lucca sea uno de los primeros niños en someterse a un tratamiento de 28 días, dos ocasiones durante 2017 y otra en 2019, y los asombrosos resultados que vieron en él: una neurogénesis que arranca con el Cytotron, aparato creado por el científico indio Rajah Kumar. Como buen viaje de todo héroe, la historia no termina ahí: Bárbara, a quien no le gusta aceptar un no por respuesta, se embarca en una lucha para lograr impulsar el uso del Cytotron en México. Un vistazo a las posibilidades que se abren desde ahora para pacientes con parálisis cerebral y otras condiciones neurológicas además de otro tipo de enfermedades como el cáncer desde México, el punto más lejano en el mundo a Bangalore.

    "Un libro estremecedor, hermoso, y últimamente esperanzador. Los dos hemisferios de Lucca es la prueba de que la perseverancia y el empeño siempre tienen su recompensa, y de que el Cytotron marcará un cambio de paradigma para millones de personas a nivel mundial que sufren problemas de salud hasta ahora intratables. Una joya de historia." -Michael Rowe, director de cine.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    The book that inspired the hit Netflix movie Lucca's World.

    With brutal frankness, Barbara Anderson narrates the day to day of having a disabled child: the challenges in and out of the home, the health and life complications, the change in priorities, the massive daily struggles of having a child with an irreversible—so far—diagnostic, such as infantile cerebral palsy.

    The author details how she embarked on a trip to India with her whole family so that Lucca could become one of the first children to undergo two 28-day treatments in 2017 and 2019, and the amazing results they saw in him: a neurogenesis that jump starts with Cytotron, a machine created by Indian scientist Rajah Kumar. As is the journey of every hero, this story doesn’t end there: Barbara, unable to take no for an answer, begins her fight to promote the use of Cytotron in Mexico. This is a glimpse of the possibilities now open for patients with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions, as well as other types of diseases, such as cancer, from Mexico, the farthest place in the world from Bangalore.

    “A chilling, beautiful, and ultimately heartening book. The Two Hemispheres of Lucca is proof that perseverance and effort are always rewarded, and that Cytotron will be a paradigm change for millions of people from all over the world who suffer health problems so far untreatable. A gem of a story.” —Michael Rowe, film director
