These boys are normal during the day, but something strange happens to their bodies at night
Things that happen around us are sometimes so amazing that it’s hard not to think of divine intervention. It’s especially incredible when these strange things happen to children. Three amazing children live in an ordinary family in a Pakistani village called Myon Kundi, 15 kilometers from Keda. Abdul Rasheed and Shuaib Ahmed are brothers, and they are completely different from all the other children in their large family.
Following the example of their fellow villagers, their father, Muhammad Hashim, calls them “solar kids.” The name sounds sweet, but in fact, a real tragedy is hiding behind it.
The boys, both under 15 years of age, have a completely normal life during the day. They play various childish games, jumping and running around, exploring their surroundings. They study at the local madrasa, and they’re fine during classes. But as soon as it gets dark outside, everything changes. So much so that it’s even hard to believe.
Their bodies become paralyzed, and they are simply unable to function normally. They can’t move, talk, or eat. They fall asleep instantly. It looks awful, two motionless boys with yellow faces. But they wake up completely fresh and healthy in the morning.
A third baby with the same condition was born later. Their baby brother was named Mohammed Iyaz, and he seemed to have similar symptoms. But it was too early to judge his condition since he was still little. The boys’ father was desperate. He decided that it had to be some kind of black magic, so the man started taking his sons to different spiritual healers, hoping that help would come from religion and various spiritual teachings. But there was no effect.
Then he took his children to see a doctor. The father said that the kids’ sleep cycle has always been dependent on the sun. Every day, as the sun went down, their strength seemed to literally disappear. The boys were completely exhausted, but in the morning, they woke up as if nothing had happened. Professor at the Pakistani Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad, Javed Akram, called the case of the solar kids a great challenge to state medicine. The doctors ran tests trying to understand what happens to the children after sunset, but they couldn’t figure it out.
They sent the test results to 27 Pakistani and 13 foreign doctors. They also sent blood samples to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the USA and Guy’s Hospital in London. They ran over 300 tests. The preliminary diagnosis was myoclonic syndrome. To date, only 600 cases of the disease have been registered in the world. This is the only case that is being carefully studied in Pakistan. Doctors are inclined to think that it’s a genetic condition, which could have occurred because the father and mother are cousins.
Unfortunately, two of their children have died at a young age. However, they also have three completely healthy children: another son and two daughters. The doctors can’t promise to completely cure the boys, but nevertheless, the treatment they’ve been getting has significantly improved their condition.
They used to only be active until 10 PM at best, and now they seem normal throughout the night. The disease remains a mystery, but it’s receding, or maybe it’s even completely gone. The father hopes for a complete cure for his sons. There’s a chance that, in addition to the treatment they’re getting, their age may also play a role. The kids will grow and get stronger.
So that’s one example of the incredible things that happen in the world. This story just has to have a happy ending.
These children and their parents have suffered enough. That’s all, friends. Share this video with your friends and family.
