why use homeopathy

Why use homeopathy? 

Gina Tyler DHOM (www.ginatyler.com; https://homeopathtyler.wordpress.com) 

Are you tired of using drugs that just don’t work? And even worse – each medication comes with a slew of detrimental side effects that are all kept hidden in the tiny fine print. So many folks forget that the human body is a miraculous machine. Our body is capable of great resilience and healing. Over-the-counter and prescribed medications suppress these abilities. This explains why using antibiotics and other drugs to “control” or “manage” symptoms of one illness leads to another more sobering illness, or a worsening of the first one. For example, ear infections frequently return after antibiotics are used. 

So, if you are tired of these drugs, you are in good company. Other people throughout the United States and throughout the world are tired too, and they are turning to homeopathy. It is a centuries old method that empowers us. In fact, nearly 4 million American adults and about 900,000 children use homeopathic remedies each year. 

Homeopathic remedies, unlike medications, do not carry side effects. And even though they are regulated be the FDA, you will not find that ominous small print and warnings of dangers. That’s because there aren’t any. If the remedies are used as directed, they act gently and politely. Moreover, though there are thousands of homeopathic remedies on the market, not one has ever been removed by the FDA for having detrimental side effects! This speaks loudly for homeopathy’s safety, particularly because these remedies have been regulated by the government since the FDA’s inception in the 1940’s. 

How do these reputable homeopathic remedies work? Simply put, our body can come to balance (health) if given the correct stimulus. This is achieved by using a remedy that is chosen not for the disease, but instead for the person experiencing the illness. This means that the choice is specifically tailored to that person. 

Let’s say 10 children who are in school together get a fever. Although it may seem that they have all gotten the same “bug”, the fever presents itself differently in each child. Each child would get a completely different homeopathic remedy that fits them uniquely. By stimulating the body’s ability to bring itself to health, each of these youngsters will not only resolve their fever within hours to a day or so, they will also be left in a better state than before the fever presented itself. 

Why wouldn’t a parent want homeopathy in their house? What could be better than ridding a child of their fever, not by suppressing it and inviting the illness to return later, but by removing it gently and safely? Self sufficiency is a goal that many of us want to attain. Homeopathy is the ultimate road towards that goal. I invite you to join me and the millions of others who have eliminated the danger of superfluous drugs and have instead adopted safe and powerful homeopathic remedies.


Myths and facts about Homeopathy

by Miranda Castro FSHom, RSHom (NA), CCH, Contributor to Homeopathy on Allthingshealing.com

Editor´s Note from Judith Hanna Doshi: Miranda’s article lays out some of the common misunderstandings about Homeopathy. Although it is usually promoted as a “safe, gentle and effective” mode of treatment, it must be recognized that Homeopathy is a complex treatment modality that requires considerable skill to administer and manage effectively, preferably by a professional homeopath. If poorly done, it can cause aggravations and even complicate the existing disease picture. Fortunately, these effects are usually short lived and in no way resemble the toxic effects of conventional treatments that leave their imprint permanently.

Many homeopaths, believing that the explanation of how homeopathy works is secondary to its success with literally millions of patients, have traditionally refused to reveal the names of the medicines they give. This and the lack of information they have provided about their practice has led to an aura of secrecy in which myths abound. It is worth looking at a few of these misapprehensions.

Myth: ‘Homeopathy is a form of herbalism’homeopathy

In my experience, this is the commonest myth of all. While it is certainly true that a proportion of the remedies a homeopath uses are based on plants, and though, as in homeopathy, the herbalist prescribes on the individual, the principles that govern the two therapies are quite different.

Many plants have known healing properties; herbalism is concerned with the known sphere of action of a plant based on its chemical constituents as well as its known healing qualities. Herbalism has existed for thousands of years—for as long as we have records—in some form or another and has its roots in mother earth. It is the only form of medicine used by wild animals.

Homeopathy, on the other hand, is based on a very different set of principles. Homeopathic remedies are not used in the material dose; nor are they based solely on plants, using as they do poisons, metals, and disease products. Homeopaths generally prescribe one remedy at a time rather than the mixtures of plant tinctures that herbalists employ. And, of course, homeopathy in its modern form is a mere 200 years old.

Myth: ‘Homeopathy is safe

In the same way that homeopathy can cure—dramatically and permanently in many cases—it can also cause harm. Kent said that he would rather share a room with a nest of vipers than be subjected to the administrations of an inexperienced homeopath! Potential dangers are:

Unintentional provings

If you take too many homeopathic pills over a period of time it is possible to ‘prove’ the remedy—that is, to suffer from the symptoms that the remedy was supposed to cure. This can mean that although your own symptoms may improve initially, they may worsen again if you continue to take the pills. Worse still, if the remedy did not fit your picture—was not right for you—you may experience symptoms you never had before.

 
 

 

This is a danger with self-prescribing or over-the-counter prescribing, where there is no professional homeopath to monitor the symptoms. In my first year in practice a woman rang me one day in a frantic state, desperate for help. She told me the following story:

I asked for help at a homeopathic chemist for thrush, which I had suffered from for several months, and was prescribed Nux vomica 30 over the counter and told to take it three times daily. After a few days I experienced a marked improvement in my condition, so I carried on taking it. After a week of no further changes my symptoms started to get worse so I carried on taking it. I finished the bottle of pills and went back to the pharmacy and told them my thrush was now as bad as when I had started taking the remedy. They gave me another bottle of Nux vomica 30 and told me to continue with the treatment. It is now two months since I started on this remedy and my thrush is unbearable. It is so bad I can’t sleep at night and I am irritable all the time. Please help me.

I advised this woman to stop taking the pills and to antidote the remedy with strong coffee and camphorated ointment (to counteract its effects) and within twenty-four hours she was back to her old self, having slept well for the first time in over a month. The thrush was back to where it had been before she took the Nux vomica—annoying but manageable.

A colleague of mine tells of a six-month-old baby who was treated at a local hospital as an emergency out-patient in a state of collapse. The nurse on duty was a student of my colleague’s and discovered that the mother had been giving her baby Chamomilla 6 several times a day for colic since soon after birth. As soon as the homeopathic remedy was discontinued for a period of time the muscle tone returned.

It is important to be on your guard against this over-use of homeopathic medicines.

Confusion of the symptom picture

If a remedy has not been prescribed on the whole person it will work in a limited way, curing a restricted number of symptoms. In these cases some complaints remain and it is possible to end up giving one remedy after another in order to try to ‘get rid’ of the remaining symptoms. In the end the whole picture becomes so changed that it is difficult to find the similimum (that single remedy that was needed at the very beginning).

The professional homeopath has different ways of dealing with this phenomenon in order to get back to the original symptom picture. If you find that you are prescribing one remedy after another with only limited effect, then do get professional help.

Suppression

A homeopathic remedy can cure a superficial symptom such as skin eruption in the same way that, for example, the application of a Cortisone cream can. This will only be the case if the remedy has been prescribed on the skin complaint (single symptom) without taking into account the whole person and/or the cause. The effect is to push the disease further into the body. Constitutional treatment will often commence with the original symptom resurfacing. Suppression is not common in homeopathy but is possible. In self-prescribing, if your complaint disappears but you feel much worse in

yourself (i.e. your moods and your energy) then it is likely that you have made a poor choice of remedy—antidote it and get some professional advice.

Myth: ‘Homeopathy is form of vaccination’

People often say that they understand homeopathy to be like a vaccination in that the patient is given a small quantity of the disease he already has in order to make him immune to it.

This is not true. Homeopathy and vaccination have similar, not the same, concepts and very different practices. Vaccines work on the physical body in a very specific way, in that they stimulate the immune system directly to produce specific antibodies as if that person has contracted that particular disease; in so doing they are, of course, stressing the immune system. Many vaccines have been known to produce permanent side effects. They must be tested on animals and then on humans to verify their safety, and even then children and adults are often damaged on a physical, emotional or mental level.

A homeopathic remedy works in a totally different way. Homeopathic remedies affect the energy patterns or vital force of a person and by so doing stimulate the body to heal itself. They are administered orally in a diluted (and safe) dose as opposed to being introduced directly into the bloodstream, as is the case with vaccination thereby bypassing the body’s natural defense system and stressing it in a way that is not fully understood. Homeopathic medicines are not tested on innocent animals and do not have side effects.

Myth: ‘Homeopathic remedies are placebos’

This myth can be rephrased to read ‘You need to believe in it for it to work.’ This is patently ridiculous to anyone who has experienced or prescribed a successful homeopathic cure for, say, a head injury or a middle-ear infection.

A placebo is an unmedicated pill which the patient believes contains something that will cure him or her. Double-blind trials always involve the inclusion of a control group taking a placebo instead of the medicine being tested in order to rule out the individual’s ‘suggestibility’.

It is because homeopathic remedies do not always work that they are sometimes believed to be ineffective and, because routine prescriptions such as Rhus toxicodendron for rheumatism and Chamomilla for teething babies are freely available from high-street chemists, people are wrongly persuaded into thinking that they need not consult a homeopath (or an adequate first-aid book). If the remedies do not work it is assumed that homeopathy does not work; if they do work it is attributed to a placebo effect—some double blind!

Homeopathic medicines work effectively on babies and animals, neither of whom are open to being affected by placebos.

It is always essential to individualize the remedy to fit the patient and not the disease, to ensure that the underlying principles are observed so that the element of chance is decreased and homeopathy can be seen to work.

Of course, there are many people who will recognize the experience of consulting a practitioner who inspires belief and hope, who left them feeling buoyant and encouraged. But if this initial rapport is not backed up with good solid prescribing, then no amount of that positive ‘transference’ will cure the patient.

Myth: ‘Homeopathy is mysterious and unscientific’

The fact that homeopathic medicines are prepared in a pharmacy or a laboratory and that their preparation involves a particular technique subject to precise and clearly stated controls (it does not involve mysterious and secret processes which put it into the realm of white magic or alchemy) is enough to convince many people of its validity.

Homeopaths have traditionally justified their practice by their results, without feeling a need to explain how their methods work. The homeopathic philosophy or doctrine is a set of rules for practice—one that hasn’t changed since it was formulated 200 years ago. These rules and principles constitute a unified hypothesis whose validity is tested out empirically—with cured patients confirming the hypothesis.

Harris Coulter, in his book Homeopathic Science and Modern Medicine (The Physics of healing with Microdoses), discusses this issue at great length and also describes many of the trials that have been conducted over the past fifty years or so using plants, animals and humans as controls to prove the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines.

The homeopathic treatment of Lyme disease.

February 11, 2012 homeopathy

The treatment of Lyme disease may be one of the more challenging of diseases for homeopathy to treat. Known to be caused by a spirochete bacteria, Borrelia burgdorfi, it is now known to be compounded by a number of co-infections including viruses, parasites, fungi and molds and other bacteria. It seems the primary bacteria is able to allow the unleashing of other disease causing factors. Also, in more alternative circles it has been recognized that the underlying constitutional issues of mental/emotional distress, childhood traumas and illnesses, heavy metal toxicity, environmental pollutants and stresses etc all compound the susceptibility to Lyme and the reactive capacity of the organism.

None of this is new information for the homeopath, who in looking at root causes, generally focuses more on the soil of the individual than on the contagious factors that have precipitated the condition. However, is it enough to simply find the correct “constitutional” remedy for a person or do other protocols need to be covered, including remedies for the most obvious acute symptoms, or for the serious chronic neurological complications, or nosodes to cover both chronic miasmatic conditions and the actual nosode for the spirochete bacteria.

Also, given the focus on the psycho/dynamic factors of each person, is it more important to address the emotional patterns of conditioning that may be predisposing a person to sickness in the first place, especially if these are deep seated and chronic in nature. Is it also important to look at adjunct therapies to help support the treatment, whether it is the use of herbs, minerals, vitamins and various detox supports to protect the organism during the struggle against the disease.

Within mainstream classical homeopathy, there is a tendency to always look for the “golden nugget”, the one remedy that will cover all the mental and physical conditions in one and to give the minimum dose necessary to stimulate the organism’s capacity to combat all of the conditions above, however complex that may be. While in some cases, that may be enough, will it always work, even if one has found the correct remedy, or given the complexity and the intensity of chronic Lyme cases, is that really enough. Perhaps there is an over reliance on this methodology at the expense of looking for supportive and more adaptable methods of looking for a complete therapeutic profile.

It has been recognized that Lyme disease looks very much like Syphilis. Both diseases are spirochete bacteria, both have distinct phases of action, affecting similar areas of the body – joints, bones, nerves, mental functioning. Both are elusive diseases and “arrived” on the scene as if from nowhere. Both have a “mercurial” aspect to them, and especially now with Lyme disease, the confusion in the medical community about how to treat the condition and even the diagnosis of it is similar to how people first struggled to accept and recognize Syphilis and its cause. The syphilitic component to the disease needs to be recognized as a key to the possible treatment of the condition, both in remedies used and adjunct therapies possibly needed.

The conventional use of antibiotics for the conditions is controversial if done long term which some Dr’s recommend, in some cases for 1-2 years. The evidence suggests that long term antibiotic therapy alone is not effective and the risks of side effects and immune suppression are very apparent. Short term use of antibiotics is more justified if they are given soon enough after primary infection. However, even then, perhaps 30-40% of people have some kind of chronic sequelae. Also, the conventional tests for Lyme do not count for much and are often wrong. Both Western Blot and ELISA tests often fail to register antibodies to the bacteria if done in the first two weeks of infection or after eight weeks. Also, they can register false positives. However, for many people who have not been given any diagnosis of their condition and simply told they have chronic fatigue, knowing that it could be Lyme disease is a relief. It is now being realized that people who were being diagnosed as having Chronic fatigue, Epstein Barre, Multiple sclerosis, Parksinons, Depression, Bi-polar disorder and many others are in fact the result of Borrelia infection and therefore have Lyme disease.

It is also being seen that the initial acute red rash around the bite (erythema migrans) and consequent acute reaction – fever, aching, joint pains etc is being seen less and less and more and more people have a variety of the chronic symptoms. Similar to many diseases, including Syphilis and AIDS, the disease has moved on, morphing into a more chronic picture. However, with Lyme disease, we are still in a period in which more and more people are getting it, and it is threatening to become one of the major diseases of our age.

The fact of why such a disease should manifest now brings up interesting questions, some of a more philosophical and spiritual nature, as well as looking at the shifting environmental influences of weather patterns and changing climates. Are there more ticks now because of climate change or because natural predators have been destroyed by pesticides, or is it because man’s relationship to the land has reached a point of exploitation and disconnect that this disease is a feedback mechanism of nature. Is it also simply the Syphilitic impulse needing a new vent as AIDS is being controlled and perhaps suppressed.

Whatever it is, the fact is that as homeopaths we need to be prepared in how to address this condition and to share this information. In exploring the various methodologies from other more alternative practitioners, it brings up the same questions again for homeopaths. The difficulty with some methodologies from a homeopathic point of view is that it seems too reductionist, with therapies for the many facets of the problem: for the bacterial infection itself, to dealing with neurotoxins, and other co-infections, to stimulating the immunity of the person, addressing the psycho-dynamic issues, dealing with existing heavy metal toxicity in the body etc. The detoxification process can seem to be very complex, especially using methods such as Dr. Klinghardt’s, a well-known Lyme specialist Dr.

Also, by admitting to the underlying issues of susceptibility, including genetic predisposition, childhood trauma, environmental pollution, ancestral baggage etc, it brings up the possibility of there being many ways to approach dealing with the condition. From a conventional homeopathic approach, treating the dynamic roots – the constitutional/miasmatic predisposition would then seem to be even more justified, even when looking at the multi pronged approach of Dr. Klinghardt. However, it is most likely that the constitutional approach will be more effective in more chronic cases, once the Lyme has been active for a while, revealing underlying susceptibilities. If one sees a case where the initial symptoms are clearer, ideally with a clear etiology and history of the Erythema migrans rash, then a more local remedy like Ledum may well be the first step to take in treatment. As always, the symptoms need to be followed, whether physical or psychological.

The approach advocated by Wolf Storl in his book Healing Lyme Disease Naturally speaks very highly of the use of Teasel root as a radical treatment to address the spirochete infection. He explores other natural methods, especially the use of other herbs and also looks at the way Syphilis was treated effectively in the Americas by native people – advocating frequent sweats, vigorous exercise, the use of Guaicum resin in large doses and a strict diet. He gives evidence that this effectively cured Syphilis. Could it do the same for Lyme disease is a good question.

Based on this, the following is a suggestion of possible approaches to treating Lyme disease. The compiling of data of people’s experiences in this area will bring more knowledge as to how effective homeopathy can be and what the best approach may be. For simplicity, the disease is separated into 3 areas, based on the stages of development of the disease.

1st Stage: The bite, the local eruption and acute picture of fever, aching and local joint inflammation, with stiffness of the back, neck and flu like symptoms. (It should be noted that in 50% of Lyme cases, this initial stage is not seen, or is missed). It may be that a simple fever is seen and no bite is detected. That may then go away and then later, there may be a lacking in energy and general depletion. Other cases may see no bite or initial fever but then one joint may become stiff, painful and inflamed.

Homeopathic Remedy: Ledum palustre is the well-known remedy to give both prophylactically and curatively for any bite, especially in Lyme disease. It will help prevent the disease developing. The earlier it is given the better. A 30c three times daily for one week is sufficient in the beginning. If symptoms of joint inflammation and pain, wandering pains and other characteristics of Ledum are present, then a 200c may be needed, given once a day for one week or until symptoms have improved.

Borrelia nosode 30c should be given SD for 5 days in order to help prevent the disease developing. It is more useful prophylactically than curatively.

Kalmia and other remedies from the Ericaceae family can be considered.

Other “flu” type remedies may well be considered, especially Eupatorium perfoliatum (recommended in a tea form for treating the co-infection of Babesia)

2nd Stage: More chronic joint pain, wandering pains throughout the body in muscles and joints, exhaustion, general depletion, depression, chronic fatigue type conditions. There may be some nerve paresis, neurological problems, facial paralysis, numbness, tingling, and mild encephalitis. This stage often gets missed as it can look like so many diseases that Lyme is often not considered. Any case of chronic fatigue type of symptoms should be considered for Lyme disease. If chronic fatigue is seen with any neurological condition, then that is a strong indicator.

Homeopathic Remedy: Ledum again is a strong consideration.

Guaicum should be considered, based on its used in Syphilis in the past. It could be tried in a low potency, repeated frequently.

A “chronic” remedy based on the whole symptom picture. This would include many of the “fatigue” remedies, such as the acids, Kali phos, Zincum, Gelsemium etc and neurological remedies as well. It would also include the correct constitutional remedy if that could be found.

3rd Stage: Neurological symptoms, various forms of paralysis looking like MS, RA, Parkinsons, Dementia, Depression, bi-polar conditions, Lupus, Scleroderma later stage syphilis, psychosis etc. Heart symptoms can also occur

Homeopathic remedies: The 3rd stage reflects the more strong syphilitic influence in the case, requiring a more syphilitic remedy that could be the deepest constitutional remedy for the person or it could be remedy that most closely covers the strong pathology in the case. Ideally it would be both. Remedies to consider would be Guaicum, Mercurius, Plumbum, Platinum, Argentum metallicum etc. However, any neurological remedy should be considered. The German homeopath Peter Alex in his book Healing Lyme, recommends the remedy Aurum arsenicosum as a possible genus epidemicus remedy for Lyme, at least in Germany.

The nosode Syphilinum would have to considered here also, perhaps as an intercurrent.

Adjunct therapies:

Based on the work of Wolf Storl in Healing Lyme Disease Naturally, the following protocol should be employed as well.

The use of steam baths, on a daily basis. The temperature should not exceed 42 degrees, with exposure between 15-30 minutes. (Caution should be taken with not giving too much heat too quickly as this may create some aggravation and dissipation of energy. Build up slowly).

Fairly vigorous exercise to keep the body active and heated up.

The use of Teasel root, the dose varying, from 3 tsp to 3 tbl 3 times a day. In very sensitive cases, it can begin with 1 drop in water on day 1, to 1 drop twice on day 2, one drop thrice on day 3, and following on adding one drop daily, but always taking it 3 times a day until on the 9th day, it is 3 drops 3 times a day.

Artemesia in a tea form can also be used daily in cases that have the Babesia co-infection. In these cases, symptoms may resemble Malaria, with intermittent fever, weakness, aching and general fatigue. (Some people recommend Artemisinin, the extract from Artemesia. However, the whole plant used is generally better handled by the body).

Cats claw can also be used along with or after the teasel as necessary.

Japanese knotwood (Fallopia japonica). This is used when neurotoxins are prevalent and is recommended as one the most important remedies in the treatment of Lyme complications.

There are other herbs mentioned in the book by Storl (Healing Lyme Disease Naturally)

A Rife machine can be used also when symptoms are strong or there is a relapsing condition. This technology is discussed in the book Out of the Woods, by Katina Makris.

Mineral supplementation: There is evidence that with Lyme and its co-infections serious depletions in various minerals, vitamins takes place. Copper, magnesium and manganese are depleted with Borrelia and iron is depleted with Babesia. Selenium is also often required and Iodine is mostly needed. Supplementation with high quality individual minerals may therefore be needed, both to support the immune system and help any detoxification process in the body.

Buhner also suggests the following supplements:

– Vitamin C

– Zinc picolinate with copper

– Silicium

– Glucosamin sulphate

– Pregnenolene (a precursor to all steroid hormones of the human body.

– DHEA (anti ageing hormone, produced by the adrenal gland. A forerunner of the sex hormones.

– ALA (alpha lipoic acid).

– Selenium

– Vit B complex

– Vitamin E.

Diet: An anti-inflammatory diet should be given, minimizing or ideally eliminating sugar and simple starchy food. Also dairy food should be minimized. More alkaline food should be given with fresh vegetable juices being added. Red meat should be avoided and ideally a more vegetarian diet.

Autism-homeopathy-CEASE therapy a mothers story

gina photography 012 (2)written by Nicolette on her blog momnivores-dilemma dot com
Autism is big business. Whether it’s the $160/hr for therapy, the countless vitamins, minerals, enzymes, or the out-of-pocket lab tests and doc visits, we’ve done it all in the past three years for Moose. I have the credit card bill to prove it.

Despite all the inteventions, energy, and time, something still nagged at me.

I knew Moose’s healing required something deeper. I found myself lagging on supplements and lab tests late this past spring. Something seemed off. Like we were close to an answer, but I couldn’t quite make it out.

Homeopathy was mentioned to me in whispers, but it always seemed in the periphery. Something that I’d think about later.

After reading two books, The Impossible Cure and CEASE Therapy, the direction we would take next became clear.

I didn’t feel ready to discuss homeopathy on this blog, until I tried it myself for my own health issues, and had Moose on the protocol for a few months.

My God, the changes since we began homeopathy in June, have been nothing sort of a miracle.

For me {I’ll write about that soon}, and for Moose.

For years, we struggled with diarrhea, since his 2nd birthday. We’ve visited every specialist and doctor imaginable. Within weeks of starting homeopathy, said diarrhea is GONE.

Comorbid with the bowel issues, Moose had major trouble falling asleep at night: running, jumping, and yelping for up to two hours after lights went out. After our current clearing hit the second week {which is homeopathic terminology for treatment}, the errratic nighttime behaviors have left the estate, people.

The kid is in his bed, usually asleep within 15 minutes.

That alone, is a testament, to homeopathy.

Again, this is NOT a coincidence.

Coupled with this, is the ability to follow directions again, just like when he was before he developed autism. When I tell him to get his shoes, place his dish in the sink, come in and eat…he listens.

Again, this is NOT a coincidence.

Homeopathy is not widely known in the U.S., but has been used for over 200 years throughout Europe. Rather than suppressing symptoms like pharmaceuticals, it heals the body gently while addressing the underlying cause.

Imagine, if you will, doctors finding the cause of what ails you, rather than piling on the band-aids.

For the past three years, I’ve had this mantra in my head, “The Cure is in The Cause”.

Now, to address the many causes…

Homeopathy has taught me that it wasn’t one shot that led Moose to autism: it’s a multifaceted assault that began long before his birth: with my health: all of my migraine medications, my pharmaceutical history. What happened at his birth, with a heavily medicated C-section delivery. Then the chronic ear infections. The excessive vaccines. Living in polluted Chicago. The inflammatory American diet. The incessant antibiotics. The copious amounts of Baby Motrin and Tylenol. Even, the emotional impact of my father’s death when he was a newborn contributed to his autism. Emotional, physical, environmental, pharmaceutical, and mental stressors all matter.

This is precisely why, “a cure” for autism can’t be found. There are too many causes. All autisms are different, because all of our medical and family histories are different. Treatment needs to be tailored to the individual.

By age 2, the cup runneth over, so to speak, and Moose lost skills, language, and the ability to point and wave.

Now, at age 5, the Moose is on his way back. He’s made more progress on four months of homeopathy than he did on three years of pricey supplements and the DAN! {Defeat Autism Now}route.

Our homeopath, Lora Roberts, is one of the few homeopaths in the U.S. who is trained in a special homeopathy for autism known as CEASE therapy. She has been the most intuituve practioner I’ve encountered on our autism journey. We’re blessed to have her on Team Moose.(more CEASE practicioners at http://www.CEASE-autism.com)

Many families have seen progress and recovery with the DAN! route.

Our story is different.

And I know, in the deepest parts of my being, that finally, there will be a happy ending.

CEASE therapy a mothers story

Vaccinations and the homeopathic Detox process-
the mothers comment;CEASE therapy is by far a lot more healing (long term and permanent) unlike biomedical which sometimes only works while on supplements, once off them you’re back to square one We did biomedical for about 18 months and saw very little. We spend thousands and thousands on countless things, protocols, supplements, etc and nothing would happen, if it did it was only at the beginning and then back to square one.

With CEASE therapy the improvements and healing is permanent, steady and just plain amazing!!!!! I couldn’t tell you enough about this therapy

We’ve done quite a bit of things, but nothing has ever given us permanent and real results as CEASE therapy and homeopathy.

Jurgen was exactly one year old when his mother first appeared at my practice. When he was three weeks old he contracted a cold that had still not disappeared. Up to six months he was lovable and quiet, but this suddenly changed: he became restless and noisy and often had one-day fevers, ten times in that year. It was as if he was a different child, said his mother. Nothing pleased him any more, he refused to sit on mother’s lap, even for a game or nursery-rhyme. He had his vaccinations exactly on time ‘with absolutely no problems’ according to the mother, except that after the fourth DKTP/HIB a month ago he had a one-day fever. He has also had abnormal trouble with teething, with a raised temperature and diarrhoea. His colds were characterized by a watery running nose, expectoration and noisy breathing: ‘you can always hear something,’ his mother said. From six months he was given vegetables and fruit juice as well as the bottle. ‘What is the matter with him? He has suffered colds since he was three weeks old so he very probably has an innate tendency to infection and weak defences. But the enormous change in Jurgen’s character at six months is the most noticeable part of this tale.’ Theoretically this could be caused by the change in diet, but it is most unlikely that this could cause the change in character. These changes can however easily be explained by a post-vaccination syndrome. His total lack of reaction to the various vaccines is more likely to be a sign of his poor general defences than of the harmlessness of the vaccinations.
This means for Jurgen that we will in all probability have to reverse the change in character by giving him a series of potentised DKTP/HIB. His weak defences (which are shown by his constant colds) will remain to be treated later, as this was present before the vaccination period. After the DKTP/HIB 30K, which he was given in the evening before going to bed, he cried at night incessantly for four hours, after which he was noticeably more content. He also had diarrhoea that day. The 30K was therefore repeated a few days later, after which the series was completed. After three weeks I saw Jurgen again. Mother said that his behaviour had improved beyond measure. He was now much more content and remained on her lap, and expressed real pleasure (for example when his parents came home). He played more happily, and no longer ran from one thing to another. He had become calmer. Since the treatment he often had diarrhoea and he slept fitfully, waking at night and wanting to play as if to make up for lost time. He yelled whenever his mother went away. I prescribed a repeat series of potentised DKTP/HIB, to which he reacted with three days of fever of up to 40°C, a runny nose, coughing and inflamed eyes. This was followed by almost constant diarrhoea, rejection of his food and continuing colds. Then came a period with bodily disturbances from teething difficulties, expectoration and squeaky breathing. It seemed as if he was bothered by something other than his vaccinations so I decided on the basis of his symptoms to treat him with Cuprum metallicum after which he finally recovered. He sleeps peacefully, no longer has diarrhoea, the colds and inflammation of the eyes have disappeared and Jurgen is fully recovered.

Case 2
Peter, 10 months old, was suffering from colic and stone-hard stools and could scream dreadfully for hours on end following his first DKTP. Mother, who is a ‘DES-daughter’ (child of a mother who used the drug di-ethylstilbestrol during pregnancy, which proved injurious to the child), has Crohn’s disease (chronic enteritis) and took Salazopyrine* during and after pregnancy so could not breast-feed her child. Peter has had hard stools from his sixth week and always needed two days to expel his faeces. He turned red, perspired over his whole body, got cross, shrieked and kicked. After his first DKTP/HIB he had fever for a day and his whole thigh became swollen ‘like a sausage’. He screamed incessantly for nearly five hours. After the second DKTP/HIB he again developed a fever with a swollen, red leg. Growth disorders were also observed. The third vaccine was injected into his arm, after which he again developed a fever, with a swollen arm.
The following potentised vaccines were administered: DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days; after the MK Peter cried all day and then started to recover. After two weeks he fell back into his old pattern of ailments. The DKTP/HIB 30K and 200K were then repeated and again he recovered. Mother speaks of a miracle; Peter is happier and no longer screams. The drop in his weight curve started to rectify itself. He still suffered from hard stools, which was to be expected as this was the case before vaccination.
Two possibilities can be considered: he either has a predisposition to intestinal problems or these manifested themselves before birth as a result of his mother’s use of Salazopyrine during pregnancy. If the latter is the case the problem could relatively easily be solved. My initial tentative diagnosis was chronic constipation caused by the mother’s use of Salazopyrine during pregnancy. If this diagnosis is correct the ailment should be cured and eventually entirely disappear after treatment with potentised Salazopyrine. I prescribed Salazopyrine 30K once a week. After two months the constipation was fully cured.

Case 3
Henri is a small boy who for six months had been peevish. At first his mother did not associate this with the chicken-pox he had had, which passed off without further complications. After careful questioning it appeared that everything had started at the time of this children’s complaint. I therefore gave him Varicellinum 200K (chicken-pox). A large eruptive spot appeared on his chest, after which he was fully cured.

Case 4
Luuk was born in early November 1994 and received his first DKTP/HIB on the 15th of February 1995. A few days later he first became ill; he had shortage of breath accompanied by noisy breathing. The GP prescribed Bricanyl (bronchial dilator) and Clamoxyl (antibiotic) but this appeared unsatisfactory and Luuk was given a second course of Clamoxyl. On the 11th of April his lungs were finally completely clear and he was given the second DKTP/HIB. Two days later he contracted diarrhoea which lasted a week, for which the doctor prescribed Diarolyte (remedy for the prevention of dehydration as a result of diarrhoea and vomiting). On the 11th of May followed the third DKTP/HIB and on the 16th of May Luuk was again short of breath and the doctor represcribed Clamoxyl, this time together with Deptropine (bronchial dilator and remedy against allergy). However, Luuk’s condition did not improve and halfway through June he was given Atrovent (bronchial dilator) and Erythrocine (antibiotic). On the 23rd of June he was given Erythrocine again with Zaditen (remedy against allergy) and on July the 13th (four months after the beginning of his complaint) he visited the paediatrician, who did not offer a diagnosis but suggested stopping the treatment. Luuk’s condition improved gradually. On the 21st of November the fourth DKTP/HIB was given. On the 26th of November his nose started running, he began to cough and he had trouble breathing. Luuk was visiting his grandparents in a different town at the time. The mother consulted the local GP on duty, who suggested PVS and referred Luuk to me. The following Monday I saw Luuk, who had breathing difficulties and was heavily congested. I prescribed a solution of DKTP/HIB 30K. Within 24 hours the breathing problems were noticeably improved. For several days he continued to cough and expectorate and in the following week the phlegm was completely cleared. To complete elimination of the disturbance by the vaccines he was given a further series of potentised vaccines from 30K to XMK on four consecutive days. Since then (a period of nine months) Luuk has no longer been ill.

Case 5
Johan reported for duty with the marines in August 1993 and was given a Mantoux (product injected subcutaneously in the arm to confirm the presence or absence of tuberculosis in a person) injection on the 13th of August, on the 20th of August a DTP- and typhoid jab and on the 16th of September a booster typhoid vaccination. He gradually deteriorated, as he says himself. He was overtired, had serious difficulty concentrating, became very forgetful and had a strained left knee. At night particularly he had belly-ache, a burning feeling in his stomach and palpitations. After three months he was discharged from service. He went back to his former employer, but could hardly work. For a year-and-a-half he was very poorly, then he ended up in the summer of ’95 on social security. A rheumatologist declared him ‘in perfect health’. After that he sought help in the alternative medicine circuit and ended up visiting me. He told me that he felt fluey all day, perspired heavily, had to drink a lot and urinate very frequently. At night he was thoroughly exhausted. He felt too weak to ride his motor-bike. He got stomach cramps and felt ill from two glasses of beer. His problems were almost certainly due to one of the vaccinations. Any other explanation seems simply untenable. Treatment with Typhus 30K up to XMK on four consecutive days was started without any success. Three weeks later the DTP series 30K to XMK was given, again without any improvement being recorded. As suspicion still fell heavily on one of the vaccinations I repeated both series, again without result. What was left is the Mantoux. Immediately following the potentised Mantoux series he felt better and was again able to work whole days. Although he felt a lot better he was still a long way from being what he was. The Mantoux series was therefore repeated several times, each time after an interval of three weeks. He now anticipates a full recovery from this.

Case 6
Ragma was a one-year-old girl. In the early morning on the 4th of May, 1992 a worried father rang me because his daughter was quite seriously ill. Both of Ragma’s parents were homoeopathic family doctors and knew the dangers of vaccination. They had chosen to have their daughter only partially inoculated at a later date to avoid vaccination risks as far as possible. As they both enjoyed long-distance travel they decided to give Ragma a DTP at 13 months. Up to then she had been a healthy child. She had occasionally had coughing fits but these had spontaneously disappeared. The day following the vaccination Ragma became very listless. After a week she began coughing and vomiting with a temperature of 38-39°C. She did not want any food or drink beyond her single daily breast feed. She woke frequently and only began to sleep properly at about 5 o’clock in the morning. She was prone to frequent crying fits, especially at night. Her parents gave her Thuja C1000 after she had been coughing and had had a fever for four days. She did not react to this. Her condition worsened and five days after the beginning of her illness she clearly had an infiltration (sign of pneumonia) in the lower lobe of her left lung. Her temperature was 39.5°C, she would neither eat nor drink and vomited as a result of her coughing fits. Her parents were worried about dehydration and feared hospitalization. The family doctor involved pressed for an immediate course of antibiotics. When the father rang me on that May morning I advised him to start immediately with the administration once an hour of a teaspoonful of a solution of DTP 200K. I arranged to see Ragma at the end of the afternoon. Her condition was then essentially unchanged. Crepitations (sounds audible with a stethoscope that point to pneumonia) were clearly audible in the lower left lung; there was (as yet) no sign of dehydration but we clearly had a seriously ill child. We agreed to continue with the treatment and to postpone further decisions until the next morning. The next morning I received an enthusiastic telephone-call from the parents. Ragma had slept better, her temperature was 37.9°C, she was coughing a lot less, had stopped vomiting and was more active. The treatment (a sip of DTP 200K every hour) was continued.
The next morning Ragma was full of beans. The fever had abated completely, her appetite was first-rate and she was drinking normally. Her facial colour was back to normal. Medication was stopped and the lungs healed without problems.
I dared to tackle Ragma’s case because I had had ample experience of treating PVS-complaints with potentised vaccine and had built up my faith in the efficacy of this method. Antibiotics would almost certainly have worked too slowly to prevent dehydration and hospitalization, whilst the DTP 200K not only very effectively cured the post-vaccination syndrome but also restored the general defences.

Case 7
This 38-year-old woman is the mother of Ralf (case 13). In 1983 (at 28 years of age) she went to Indonesia and was given two each of cholera, DTP and typhoid vaccinations and one -globulin. Since then she had been tired, had listless hair, her memory had become much less reliable and she was moody. She showed a serious lack of concentration and felt uneasy, afraid that she would not get things done in time. Her sexual energy had completely disappeared. She had been increasingly run-down. Also she had constant muscular pain. She started overeating and gained more than 1½ stone. All this time her faeces had been runny. She could not shake off a cold; when her children got colds she always caught them. She said to me: ‘You know your disposition and energy have changed, but you just can’t be bothered to do anything about it. You feel indecisive. I’ve come to you with the children but would never have come by myself.’ In 1993, ten years after her holiday in Indonesia, her son Ralf was born by Caesarian section, for which she had anaesthetic. After that she had two miscarriages and was once anaesthetized for D & C, after which both memory and concentration declined still further. I therefore gave her a series of Nux Vomica 30K up to XMK to clear the unwanted effects of the anaesthetic. She clearly improved, her energy increased and her headaches disappeared. She even sat in the sun without her veins swelling and turning scarlet and without a headache. She was noticeably less moody, but her memory and concentration were still poor. A repeat of Nux Vomica did not induce further improvement. My following step, starting in June 1995 and still unfinished in September 1996, was to reduce the noxious effects of the vaccines. Healing is in this case a gradual process with sometimes serious recurrences. The typhoid vaccination proved to be responsible for her complaints. She still reacts strongly to the potentised typhoid vaccine, but shows further improvements after each treatment. Her memory has already shown a marked improvement and she is clearly more energetic. In her own words: ‘My will-power is back and I am a different person. If I look back to the period before treatment it is as if a blanket had been thrown over everything; everything I did was routine. The fog has now lifted. My concentration has returned; I can read books again and feel like studying again – I remember things better. I feel as if I’m making up for ten lost years. I’m fit now when I get up in the morning and no longer tired as I was for all those years.’

Case 8
This case is reported by my colleague, who treated a 17-year-old girl for urticaria (St. Anthony’s fire) on the face. She had tried unsuccessfully throughout the whole country to find relief. When my colleague asked how long she had been troubled by this eczema her mother said that it started three months after the first DKTP-injection, i.e. 17 years before. She was given a series of DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK over four days and the rash disappeared like snow before the sun within 14 days and at the time of writing (nine months later) had never returned.

Case 9
Following the DTP-jab at four years, Lisette showed an enormous decline in her development despite the preventive measure of DTP 200K two days before the vaccination and later on the same day: she started eating badly again, was very tired and reverted to baby behaviour: she talked gibberish, wanted to be fed and to revert to bottle-feeding. She became listless, spent a lot of time lying on the ground and wanted to be cuddled a lot as well as developing oversensitivity to pain. I gave her a complete series of DTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK over four days, after which the complaints completely disappeared and her development continued normally.

Case 10
Patrick was nine months old when I first saw him. He constantly had a cold with green mucus. His breathing had been erratic since birth, but was now heavy and accompanied by phlegm. Mother stopped breast-feeding him after four and a half months. At this time he also developed eczema in the elbows and behind the knees, which was treated with cortisone ointment (a steroid (hormonal) ointment). He had been inoculated according to the normal scheme (i.e. at 3, 4 and 5 months). Eight to ten days after the first DKTP/HIB he contracted bronchitis with coughing fits, for which he was given antibiotics by the family doctor. Since then his breathing had been attended by expectoration. He caught a heavy cold following the second DKTP/HIB. Only the third vaccination was given in stages, first the DKTP and fourteen days later the HIB, which resulted in fewer reactions. In the spring his right eye became inflamed and produced green pus and at the time I saw him he had an infection of the left inner ear. He had had in total three courses of penicillin and reacted each time with a rash. At the time he was taking two puffs of Becotide (powder to be inhaled based on the hormone beclometason, which inhibits infection in cases of asthma) three times a day. He was perspiring heavily. I start treatment with a series of HIB, followed a week later by a series of DKTP and again two weeks later by a series of DKTP/HIB. When I next saw him five weeks later there had been no clear improvement; of the last series he had only taken the 30K and had just had an ear infection with a fever of 40.6°C, which the family doctor treated with penicillin. It still seemed that the injections were the only explanation for his complaints. Apparently one disorder was masking another. Homoeopathy recognizes that multiple disorders must always be treated in the correct sequence, that is to say in the reverse order to that in which they appeared. It appeared that the antibiotics had caused their own problems, which prevented him from benefiting from the given therapy. I therefore started treatment with a series of Penicillinum 30K, 200K, MK and XMK; after the MK he reacted with amber phlegm and a dry cough. Then the XMK was administered and the amber phlegm disappeared entirely. Two weeks later he had the series DKTP/HIB, after which his improvement continued. One month later he was fully recovered: his colds have disappeared and he no longer expectorates.

Case 11
Another instance of reduced natural defences is Hanneke. She was seven months old when she was first brought to my practice. Two months previously she had caught her first cold, which was followed by an infection inside her right ear and bronchitis for which she was given a course of antibiotics. A week later the ear infection was on both sides and her bronchitis had not cleared up, so she had been given a second course of antibiotics. Since then her breathing had been noisy owing to mucus in her lungs. I was told it all seemed to begin after the third DKTP. I prescribed a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. Since then the ear infections and bronchitis have gone but the cold remained. She also started to sit, crawl and stand in a short time. It was then that it became clear that her development had almost imperceptibly been retarded. There was still fluid in her right ear-drum and, when tested, she appeared to hear practically nothing on the left and little on the right. Teething pains frequently made her cry at night. She still appeared distraught. At the end of February I gave her a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK because the symptoms of post-vaccination disorders were still present. Following this her cold disappeared. Her hearing is now once again perfect and she is thoroughly content. Hanneke is again as healthy as previously and her natural defences are fully restored.

Case 12
Ellen was eleven months old when I first saw her in the middle of February and had constantly had colds ‘since birth’. She cried continually at night for the first few weeks, probably as a result of stomach cramps. At five months she suffered terribly for two weeks from fluid, squirting diarrhoea. At eight months she was first bothered by a suppurating inflammation of the middle ear and a temperature of above 40°C. She was then given her first antibiotic treatment. After this she had four further attacks of middle ear inflammation, the last accompanied by vomiting, watery diarrhoea and a temperature between 375 and 38.6°C. She was otherwise a bright child, quite well-developed and she ate and slept without difficulty. She smells sour when she is unwell. She has had three DKTP’s, to which she showed no direct reaction. Middle-ear inflammation and digestive disturbances are prevalent on the mother’s side of the family. I began applying a common homoeopathic treatment, without success. On April the 15th she was given the fourth DKTP and 14 days later she again had a cold, brought up mucus, developed purulent eyes, ate less, cried at night and got another inflammation of the middle ear. When I saw her at the beginning of June with both ears discharging, a dirty nose and purulent eyes, it was clear to me that she had PVS. I prescribed a DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. On July the 20th the mother rang me to tell me that the child ‘had never been so well’. Everything has finished and it surprised everyone that the child looks so healthy. There was no relapse.

Case 13
Ralf was one-and-a-half and had had eczema from the age of seven months. For a week following both the DKTP/HIB’s and the MMR he awoke shrieking and screaming and did not want to go to bed in the evening; he was in a state of panic and had to be nursed to sleep. After the third DKTP/HIB he also started to vomit and had fetid stools. His eczema seriously worsened after the MMR and he became aggressive and tense and started throwing things. His mother spoke of a breakdown. Whereas he had been thoroughly content for the first half-year, he had now for six months been restless and prone to regular colds. From his seventh month he drank a lot at night and, since the MMR, during the day. Treatment with a series of MMR 30K, 200K, MK and XMK was started and three weeks later he was given a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK. After the MMR series he became much happier and when the DKTP/HIB series was finished he was ‘the little boy she once knew’ as the mother said. He became talkative again, happy and full of grit. However, his night-time thirst remained undiminished and he would not calm down until allowed to drink. In addition he had a bad cold and watery, slimy faeces. I gave him a repeat series of MMR, following which for three days he woke up screaming and was afraid to go to bed in the evening, just as after the MMR inoculation. Otherwise there was little to report. Two weeks later the DKTP/HIB series was repeated and he reacted to this similarly as to the MMR; this also lasted for a couple of days. Then his excessive thirst at night disappeared within a few weeks, he slept increasingly peacefully and for three months the eczema could be observed to decrease without additional treatment. All symptoms arising following the vaccinations have completely disappeared.
Not all children are disturbed this clearly as a result of vaccination, but here is one of the fortunate few who was able to profit from a planned programme of recovery. Ralf is part of a family that has a history of adverse reactions to vaccination. His mother visited Indonesia on holiday in 1983 and was given two each of cholera, DPT and typhoid and one gamma-globulin (preventive injection against hepatitis A) injections. Since then she has suffered from fatigue for 11 years long (case 7). Her father had previously also been to Indonesia, on military service, and had the necessary injections. Ralf is thus the third generation displaying vaccination problems.

Case 14
In the Tijdschrift voor Jeugdgezondheidszorg4 for 1994 is an interesting illustration of vaccination damage is handled. “The commission considered the case of a girl who is now two years old whose mental and physical development was very seriously retarded. She had undergone a normal development since her full-term (at the normal time) birth at normal weight. She became seriously ill following the second DKTP, with a temperature of 41°C and symptoms that clearly suggested whooping cough: six weeks later it was obvious that her mental development was retarded. Following the first DKTP she had also been ill with a temperature of 40°C, coughing bouts with tightness in the chest and vomiting, but less seriously than after the second inoculation.
“The committee recognizes that whereas a causal connexion with both inoculations cannot be ruled out, this must be considered unlikely owing to the particularity of the course of the illness and against the background of the corpus of scientific literature relating to such a connexion.”
The commission’s opinion is in fact not very interesting here, although it does underline how such problems are generally tackled. What is much more relevant is the question as to the grounds on which it was considered that the responsible person or organization should go ahead with the second DKTP. At the very least it should have been decided to leave out the whooping-cough vaccination because of the coughing and oppression and 40°C temperature following the first DKTP. For another example, see case 11, Hanneke.

Case 15
A good example of too many vaccines being administered together is provided by Marieke. Her fourth DKTP and HIB were postponed and at 15 months she had to receive another DKTP, HIB and MMR. She was given them at the same time, a total of eight vaccines. Her mother’s anxious question whether that was all right was answered in the affirmative: the child was quite strong enough. Nevertheless she reacted to the first three DKTP’s and HIB’s with a temperature above 39°C and by shrieking inconsolably (especially the first time). The ninth day after this massive inoculation she had a seizure with rattling respiration accompanied by slimy expectoration and her right side became completely rigid. Her temperature rose to 41.2°C She was admitted to hospital where she was given a lumbar puncture and further blood tests, but no infection was diagnosed. After two days she appeared completely recovered but at eight o’clock on the third morning she had a serious epileptic attack which lasted until towards evening. Marieke was no longer Marieke. Her speech was reduced to hmm, hmm… She constantly rocked backwards and forwards and up and down. There was no longer any eye contact; it was ‘as if she’s looking straight through you’. All warmth, joy and feeling of happiness and sorrow had disappeared. She had become an invalid baby that needed help feeding, could not crawl, walk or talk. Her growth practically ceased.
Marieke appeared to have lost her sense of balance; she waved her arms when walking and by now had had two months of physiotherapy and speech therapy. She only said ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’. But there was no repeat of the epileptic attacks and the medication was reduced after three months.
Now two-and-a-half, her condition had never been diagnosed as a post-vaccination syndrome. Her paediatrician repeatedly enquired if her mother still believed it came from the vaccinations, and the mother replied that she was 99% certain it did. Actual proof of a causal connexion would also in this case have to come from the potentised vaccine, however. We started the treatment carefully with just a MMR in homoeopathic dilution with a week between each administration. It was not certain that Marieke would still be able to recover fully. This misery could probably have been avoided if such vaccine-cocktails had been a thing of the past.
Treatment was started on April 22nd and I saw her again on the 14th of August, nearly four months later. She had been given each potency of the MMR twice because her condition worsened each time. The last dose (XMK) was given three weeks previously.
Marieke had changed enormously. She immediately got a runny nose and went through a highly emotional period during which she cried about literally everything and held on to her mother, just like when she was in hospital. But by now she feels safe again with father and mother and she can safely be left with people she knows. Her mother calls her describes her as radiant; she is freer, approaches people, is decided in what she wants. Her coordination has improved beyond measure. Her bearing is no longer that of a baby, her muscular control and balance have improved by leaps and bounds. She can walk normally again without waving her arms. Her pupils are no longer dilated and function normally and her oversensitivity to light is much reduced. Her digestion has improved; there is no undigested food in her faeces, which smell more normal. Her speech has improved; she uses some new words but in this is still backward for her age. Generally speaking she is about half a year behind her actual age, which means she has caught up about one-and-a-half years in four months. A consultation with the welfare-centre doctor who gave her all the vaccines together has not proved very satisfactory. She maintains that she acted correctly and says that she would do the same in similar cases in the future.
I decide to eliminate the disturbances from the other vaccines (DKTP and HIB) after one treatment as Marieke is far healthier. If necessary the whole procedure can be repeated. It looks as if Marieke, too, can recover completely from her post-vaccination syndrome. This treatment has at the same time definitively shown the cause of the bodily and mental retardation to be post-vaccination syndrome.

Case 16
Owing to an unnecessary repeat of the whooping-cough vaccine Saskia has adverse reactions after each vaccination. At three months she was given her first DKTP/HIB and fourteen days later she contracted whooping cough from an infected child. The paediatrician diagnosed whooping cough, which lasted nearly five months. But even after that she was constantly unwell: colds, ‘flu, diarrhoea and any other illness she came into contact with. Nevertheless, at eight months she was given a DKTP/HIB despite the parents’ direct query about the necessity of K (i.e. whooping cough). She developed a high temperature and was very ill for two days. A month later the third DKTP followed, after which she was ill for a week with a high temperature. Only then was it decided to drop the superfluous whooping-cough vaccine at the next inoculation. She hardly showed any reaction to the DTP/HIB vaccination, but her further development had clearly been disturbed. At nearly two, Saskia still did not talk and would only take minced food. Her back and neck were strained and she crawled with her body to one side. She hardly walked and constantly supported herself on whatever was to hand. Now, three months after starting on the recovery programme with DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK and with Pertussin (whooping cough) 30K, 200K, MK (she did not have the XMK), Saskia is a different child. The improvement started slowly, but it became increasingly obvious that she was recovering. The results can now be called spectacular. She has completely made up lost time. She can now walk normally and even run, jog, climb stairs and walk backwards. She crawls symmetrically. Her speech is satisfactory and her articulation has much improved. She is energetic, less dependent on her mother and no longer panics if she cannot see her. She needs less sleep and no longer takes medication. A cold with green phlegm cleared up for the first time without going on to her lungs and without any wheezing. She is content and is a joy every day, reports the mother. Saskia is practically cured of the detrimental effects of the DKTP/HIB and the whooping cough.

Case 17
At nearly two years Frances had respiratory problems. From the week after her second DKTP she was seriously short of breath every time she caught a cold. I therefore gave her DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. Following the XMK she started crying at night when going to sleep, something she had never previously done. She displayed symptoms of severe panic. Four days after the XMK she developed a cold, was weak in the legs and took to whining. I therefore gave her a DKTP 200K in solution. She was still wheezy, but noticeably less than usual. She started to improve slowly. At her next chill she still coughed but was no longer stuffed up. Her last chill was free of all complications. Frances is now perfectly content and her stuffiness has not returned.

Case 18
I first saw Walter in my surgery when he was 14 months old. At three months he contracted pneumonia, which was treated with penicillin, but he continued to cough. For a year he had been taking 25 ml. of Deptropine (bronchial dilator and remedy against allergy) three times a day but the coughing fits continued day and night. A PVS suggested itself, but the mother assured me that the pneumonia appeared before the first DKTP vaccination. He showed practically no reaction to the DKTP’s and HIB’s. I then prescribed a homoeopathic preparation based on his symptoms, to which he hardly reacted. A fortnight later the mother informed me by telephone that on checking the baby’s records she had discovered that the pneumonia appeared four days after the first DKTP. I immediately prescribed DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days and a week later the coughing had completely ceased and the Deptropine was quickly decreased. A year’s coughing and Deptropine was thus brought to an end.

Case 19
Joop was one-and-a-half, having been given the combined mumps, measles and German measles jab at 14 months. After a week he caught a cold with noisy breathing. The DKTP’s had hardly bothered him. A course of penicillin seemed to solve everything, but a month later he again had a cold with noisy breathing. I then gave him MMR 200K, three days running. His condition improved, but he did not completely recover. A series of BMK 30K, 200K, MK and XMK cured him completely and his complaints did not recur.

Case 20
Frits was five months old when he was first brought to my practice. For six weeks he had displayed ‘constitutional eczema’ which started on his right cheek and spread over his whole body. He was over-sensitive to indigenous fruit and allergic to cow-milk protein. Exactly one month before the eczema started he had had his first DKTP and just two days before his visit the second. I prescribed DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK and following the MK he developed a fever, so the XMK was postponed. The eczema abated quickly. After 14 days he received the XMK and the eczema disappeared completely. One month later the whole series was repeated owing to a slight recurrence, after which the eczema was completely cured.

CEASE therapy the process of detoxification

Dr. Tinus Smits was the obvious choice for a homeopath to interview. Two of the founding members of the Teleosis faculty – Kim Kalina and Tim Owens – have traveled to France for Tinus’ “total immersion” training in Inspiring Homeopathy, and Kim has become the first person authorized to recreate the experience in the US (see the Seminar review in this issue). Tim Owens and Teleosis’ current director Begabati Lennihan are helping to prepare the English edition of Tinus’ groundbreaking work on autism, the soon-to-be-published Autism: Beyond Despair.

Dr. Tinus Smits has studied homeopathy for over 30 years, practicing as a lay homeopath before beginning medical school at the age of 31. He has studied with Jacques Imberechts, Alex Jacques, George Vithoulkas and Alphons Geukens. He finished his medical studies in 1986 and has been teaching for more than 20 years in different countries around the world. Since 1995, Tinus has been participating in a homeopathic development project in Nepal. As President of the Bhaktapur International Homeopathic Clinic, he goes to Nepal for one month every year and has begun training Nepalese Homeopathic Health Assistants. He has written books on homeopathy in Dutch and English, including a book on Inspiring Homeopathy, and is the subject of two documentaries on homeopathy, available on DVD.

BL: Dr. Smits, several of my colleagues have told me that when they get stuck with a case, they often find that the patient needs one of your Inspiring Homeopathy remedies. How are these remedies different?

TS: At the individual layer everybody needs his individual remedy, caused by emotional afflictions, vaccination or allopathic drugging. Homeopathic treatment on the individual level can be initially successful for some time. I have noted a frequent phenomenon: the treatment starts well but doesn’t advance anymore and no remedy seems at any advantage. It gives the impression that there is no way to go deeper into the energy of the patient.

I found the solution with Inspiring Homeopathy. Once the patient arrives at the universal layer, only seven remedies are needed. They are the best ones to help the patient evolve to deeper awareness and more stability in both physical and emotional, mental and spiritual health. The seven universal layers are lack of self-confidence, affective problems, incarnation problems, lack of boundaries, old traumas (victim problems), guilt for what we have done to our fellow humans (our perpetrator side) and duality, the last obstacle to our unification with our higher self, our soul.

At this level only a few remedies are needed. We made two new remedies: Carcinosin cum Cuprum, a combination of these two remedies because I noticed their symptoms overlap; and Vernix caseosa, made from the substance that covers a newborn baby. Also a new remedy from mother’s milk was prepared, Lac maternum, from the milk of several women at different stages of breastfeeding.

The Inspiring Homeopathy remedies are Carcinosinum,Carcinosinum cum Cuprum, and Cuprum metallicum; Saccharum officinale; Lac maternum; Vernix caseosa; Rhus toxicodendron; Anacardium orientale; and Hydrogenium.

BL: Dr. Smits, what is your current success rate with autistic children?

TS: The whole process of healing takes between 1 to 3 years normally. Now I have the first group of completely healed children. Hundreds more are on the way with 50% to 80% or more of their symptoms healing already. It is a step by step process.

This whole approach has been baptized as CEASE therapy, which means Complete Eradication of Autistic Spectrum Expression. Yes, homeopathy has the answers and soon certified homeopathic practitioners will be educated to apply this method all over the world to heal the millions of disabled children. This method applies not only to autism but also to ADHD, aggressive behavior and all other kinds of behavioral and developmental problems. Even in adult cases this method is working nicely. This year a pilot study will be done by a psychiatrist and then a real research study will be done to confirm the efficiency of this approach.

BL: Can classical homeopathy alone cure autism?

TS: After my experience with 300 cases I came to the conclusion that detoxifying autistic children with isotherapy is necessary for complete healing. Isotherapy means using homeopathic preparations of the different factors that caused the autism (pharmaceutical drugs, vaccinations, environmental toxins). Autism has multiple causative factors.
Autistic children don’t suffer from one vaccine or one drug, but from an accumulation of different disturbances. With isotherapy I was able to find out where we have to focus our treatment. 70% proved to be due to vaccines, 25% to other regular medication and 5% to diseases.

The detoxification of these conditions combined with certain supplements such as Vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) plus eventually the help of classical homeopathy can bring the patient to complete healing. This method works in any case, except when the brain of the child has been damaged by encephalopathy, meningitis or severe epilepsy. Then complete healing is not possible any more. The method is not working either when important information about the causations is missed.

I consider that isotherapy here has to be the main treatment, focused on the causations and that classical homeopathy has its place as adjuvant therapy. With classical homeopathy alone I have rarely seen complete healings. Its results are too unstable to claim that classical homeopathy has the answers to the scourge of autism that ravages the future generations.
Another advantage of isotherapy is also that it gives us valuable information about which substances are toxic and which are not. In this way I discovered that a simple nasal spray with xylomathazolin can cause autism (because a child whose mother had used the nasal spray when pregnant had dramatic improvement when the nasal spray was detoxified with isotherapy). I discovered also that vaccines are not the only causation of autism whether the most important one.

BL: Do you find that classical homeopathy alone is sufficient for most of your other patients?

TS: Many cases can be treated with classical homeopathy alone, but there are so many toxic substances in our modern society that homeopathy has to adapt itself also to this new situation and has to focus more on causations. I have seen the difference between Holland and Nepal. Nepal is still a country where people live a more natural life apart from vaccinations. Classical homeopathy is much more efficient there than in Holland.

I believe a step by step approach will be more and more necessary in the future for homeopathy to keep pace with our changing society. Step by step, means clearing one vaccination or toxic substance at a time in the 30c-200c-1M-10M course, also doing classical homeopathy, Inspiring Homeopathy and supplements.

BL: Can you briefly describe your vaccine clearing protocol?

TS: When a certain substance is suspected to have contributed to the development of autism, this substance can be given in homeopathic potencies. For example, in a case where the MMR vaccination is suspected, we prescribe MMR in C30, C200, 1M and 10M to remove the possible imprint that the MMR vaccine has left, especially in the brain. Each potency is administered twice in one week so that one course takes four weeks.

BL: How do you know when a patient has Post Vaccination Syndrome?

TS: To know if a patient has a post vaccination syndrome you have to realize when the problems started and if there is another plausible reason for the patient to become ill. Some homeopaths (and almost all medical doctors) make the mistake of supposing that if the child did not have adverse reactions immediately after the vaccines, then there is no vaccination damage. Vaccination problems can start insidiously without any post vaccination aggravation.

The proof of vaccination damage can only come from the detoxification with the different potencies of the vaccine itself! If the vaccine clearing is effective in removing the symptoms, then they must have been caused by vaccine damage.

BL: When will your autism book be available? How can readers learn more about your work?

TS: Autism: Beyond Despair is almost complete and will be available very soon [as of spring 2009]. Readers can check the website http://www.tinussmits.com.

BL: How can homeopaths become certified in your CEASE therapy for curing autism?

TS: The first seminar in Dutch will be held in April 2009. English and maybe online training will start in September 2009 for homeopaths worldwide.
