Initially when my daughter was diagnosed with Autism we dint have any idea of what to do. And the first thing we tried was going to a local homeopath. Later we learned from him that he was a general physician who stumbled upon homeopathy when his wife and him were searching for something to help their brain injured child. When the western medicine he was trained in did not help and he saw that homeopathy recovered his kid completely he studied homeopathy and became a homeopath. He along with his wife who is a nutritionist helped us clean our environment and lifestyle to reduce the toxic load, used intuitive homeopathy to detox and gave us a great head start. My daughter had regular bowel movements everyday within 2 weeks of starting their treatment plan. No more mucous like and foul smelling stools. Her eye contact improved and for the first time she started recognizing mom and dad after the regression.
She was getting better slow and steadily. When she was 4 years old she got sick that winter and her behavior changed overnight. She suddenly started having extreme fears of loud sounds, anxiety about going to school and doctor visits, fear of bathrooms, loud, screaming tantrums twice or thrice a day, OCDS, dint even differentiate between me and my sister during times of aggression. We dint know at that time it could be PANS (Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome) and that ASD kids are more prone to it. We ran the Cunningham panel and her inflammation levels were high in 3 out of 5 categories. We dint want to pursue any medical treatments suggested which was either antibiotics long-term or steroids or IVIG. We decided to go with classical homeopathy with a local homeopath who specialized in treating PANS and PANDAS. Since many attested to seeing great improvements and some healing from PANS/ PANDAS completely we were all in. Homeopathy helped her get rid of the fears completely, she does not shy away from exploring new things now and has calmed down quite a lot from where we started. She is back to being a sweet child she always was. We also use homeopathy as the first line of care for acute illnesses before turning to Motrin or antibiotics. Tylenol prevents body from producing glutathione which is essential for detoxing, Motrin and other NSAIDS are not good for the gut, there are research articles that have found NSAIDs are equally harmful to gut microbiome as antibiotics are. So homeopathy is a wonderful alternative. The right remedy can instantly make you feel better.
But if you are exploring homeopathy for the first time it could be very confusing as how it works. Homeopathy is one of the best alternative medical fields which treats the body as a whole. It is based on the belief that the body can cure itself. It gently supports the body in the process of bringing itself back to homeostasis. It also says like cures like. For example if a person suffers from insomnia he might be given the popular remedy Cofea Cruda. This remedy is made from coffee which is known to wake us up in the morning and keep us active. The remedy made out of an ingredient is usually diluted many times. In fact the homeopathic remedy once made might have one or two molecules of the initial substance. So its very safe compared to pharmaceuticals. However Homeopathy has evolved a lot from the time it was invented. Many practitioners have added their own twists and ideas that have worked well for them. Intuitive, sequential, classical are some of the branches of homeopathy and Cease, Homeotoxicology focusing on detox are widely used nowadays. Check which one aligns with your needs and beliefs and talk to some practitioners to see who would be a best fit.
