oreword for Parents

While directed at professional homeopaths, many of the ideas

and

strat

egies presented in

The utism Reversal Toolbox

will be understandable

to parents of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children. Many of

these parents are among the most astute individuals I have encountered,

having become experts in their child s care

and

accumulating expertise far

beyond their physicians.

To such a parent I

say

feel free to search the book for relevant information

you can apply, especially the sections on Nutritional

and

Environmental

Self-Care,

and

the Toolshed Resources on pages 188-192, which are

appropriate for home care. f you like, you can return to its philosophical

and

scientific underpinnings in leisurely fashion.

One of the greatest benefits of this book could be in helping you find

and

work with a homeopath. f you already have a homeopath, you may wish

to give her a copy of this book, as many of its methods

and

materials are

cutting edge

and

not

known to most homeopaths.

f

doing so, please be

respectful

of

his

or

her training,

as

your homeopath may already have an

effective angle from which to address autism spectrum ailments.

f

you do

not

yet have a homeopath for your child, a good place to start

is by asking other parents of ASD children in your community. Even

if there are no local homeopaths, they may recommend someone who

will work with you by video conferencing. Word of mouth is a better

way to find your homeopath than looking in a directory, since you want

someone who has not only good training but also real understanding of

these special children and of the family dynamics that ensue.

fyou can t find someone by word of mouth, try the directory of CEASE

trained homeopaths at http:/ /www.cease-therapy;com/ make-appointment/

since they have chosen to specialize in autism.

As

you will see in this

book, CEASE is only a small

part of

what can be done to treat autism

with

homeopathy,

so

your CEASE-trained

homeopath

could still benefit

from this book. You will be fortunate if you can find someone locally

whom

you can visit in person.

You could also consult the directory at www.homeopathic.org for local

homeopaths and call each one and ask how

much

experience they have in

treating autism.

omeopaths

tend to say that the diagnosis doesn't

matter

because homeopathy can treat anything; but the treatment of autism is so

specialized that it does matter and you do

want

someone with experience.

In

the meantime, while searching, there are many suggestions in this

book for things

y u

can do right away to help

your

child, starting with

the Toolshed Resources on page 178. Please do not attempt the full

homeopathic protocol yourself, however,

as

the process can have many

ups and downs even at the hands of an experienced homeopath.

New

information helpful to parents

is

emerging all the time. For the

latest as

of

the first printing

of

this book), I recommend

that

you check

out

the webinars, blogs

and

email newsletters

ntroduction

Welcome to the Autism Reversal Toolbox, a compendium of ASD strat

egies, remedies

and

resources. Whereas the topic

is

vast, the aim remains

humble: to help the modern homeopath address the daunting scope of

autism spectrum ailments. The reader will find an array of philosoph

ical

and

biomedical materials concerning autism, in addition to the

most extensive review to date

of

homeopathic approaches. Included is

information derived from the Banerji brothers protocols; Tinus Smits

CEASE methodology; an environmental never-well-since intervention

developed by Farah Gron; the homotoxicology protocol of Mary Coyle;

and my

own Sine Wave synthesis approach that incorporates Unda rem

edies

a

special series for drainage

and

detox). Also introduced

is

a thesis

that autism now expresses the emergence of a new miasm pertaining to

neural autoimmunity. I hope that this

book

will provide a building block

upon

which more formidable bulwarks against autism

and

neural auto

immunity

can be built.

Homeopathy s founder Samuel

ahnemann

possessed a remarkably

diverse mind. The breadth of his investigative genius encouraged gener

ations of disciples to delve into kindred philosophies in order to expand

homeopathy s curative power. Here, in the context of autism, the dis

cussion

of

Traditional Chinese Medical principles

and

the overlapping

teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg (summarized in the appendices) are

less

an introduction

than

a re-visitation. For

ahnemann

was aware of

Chinese Medicine,

and

many of his most talented followers such

as

Kent

were in awe

of

Swedenborg. I can

think of

no better context within which

to reengage Swedenborgian

and

Chinese Medicine precepts concerning

the mystery of procreation than here, when contrasting the origins of a

healthy

and

an autistic child. I have personally found these two philoso

phies

both illumining

and

practical in my choice of remedies for autistic

children. However, the busy homeopath will be relieved to

know

that

11



familiarity with these philosophical underpinnings is not required for the

practical use of the treatment methods offered.

This

book

expresses the convergence of various events

and

realizations

occurring over the past decade.

In

particular it extends a determination

formulated in

my

first book, Interpreting

Chronic Illness

that before an

illness can be treated effectively, it must be accurately explained with a

powerful paradigm of healing.

The

paradigm I use encompasses a synthe

sis of

normally disparate theoretic

and

biomedical views: homeopathy,

Traditional Chinese Medicine

and

biomedicine (conventional Western

medicine, based

on

the physical body) illumined by Swedenborg s

philosophy.

The utism

Reversal

Toolbox is an outgrowth of

my

wide-ranging studies,

clinical experience

and

research efforts. I w s among the first homeopaths

trained in CEASE, the method for reversing autism with homeopathic

potencies

of

vaccines

and

other toxins. (The training was intended to

be led by its great innovator Tinus Smits

MD but

sadly he passed away

during the seminar, which w s led by two of his first proteges in the

method, Ton Jansen

and n

van Veen in the Netherlands.) I have subse

quently spent years developing a team-oriented clinical approach with a

valued colleague, Jhuma Biswas, CCH. Preparation for

my

presentation

at the Joint Homeopathic Conference in 2013 prompted me to study all

available literature

on

homeopathy

and

autism.

etting up the Workbench

n

Terra Firma Welcome

Baby

Before we approach autism pathology, are we confident that we know

what a healthy, non-autistic infant actually is? How is the mind-body

substance of a healthy baby to be understood? Where does such a baby

come from?

Though

useful for establishing a context for autism, the

spiritual overtones of inquiries like this place them outside the bounds

of conventional medicine

and

biology. A venture into the territory of the

soul s incarnation may be called for.

My

two unrelated though mutually reinforcing sources with regard to

the soul s incarnation are the five-thousand-year old Traditional Chinese

Medicine theory coming from the East;

and

coming from the West, the

philosophy

of

Emanuel Swedenborg, an

8rh

century genius

who-

via

his influence on James Tyler Kent and other homeopaths of his time

- gained recognition

as

the spiritual godfather

of

homeopathy.

Helpfully, Traditional Chinese Medicine

TCM)

exhibits a general bias

in favor of female physiology, one having implications for our work with

autism.

Within

TCM we find

that

the mother s energetic physiology is

largely responsible for

both

the

phenomenon of

conception and a baby

s

hereditary constitution. We shall find, for example, that according to

TCM

theory an individual is born with not one but two souls. One

of these souls

is

corporeal

and

mortal, as opposed to its counterpart, a

spiritual

and

immortal soul (akin to the Collective Unconscious

and

known

as

the

Hun .

The Corporeal Soul, known

as

the

, is

built inside

the mother

and

deposited in the child s

Lungs. This

accounts for the

mother s disproportionate influence over the child, especially in its early

years.

Readers wishing to learn more about the fascinating but intricate con

cepts

common

to

both T M and

Swedenborg may delve into the source

materials available in the appendices.

Our

present purposes are served by

summarizing the following concepts, parallel versions ofwhich are found

in T M and Swedenborg:

1 Birth as a process of regeneration;

2. The transduction of spiritual energy

as

a step-down process by

means

of

which (via conception

and

birth) the soul transmutes

into living Resh;

3. A hereditary process wherein earthly stress, impacting on spirit,

consolidates within a lineage (read as reformulation via inheritance

or miasm);

4. The physiological

and

spiritual function of the idneys as having to

do with spiritual purification

and

the soul s incarnation;

5 The preservation of intergenerational health as furthered by proper

nutritional, behavioral

and

spiritual measures.

Discord in Paradise The utism Spectrum

Exactly what

is

autism?

How

deeply must the condition be explored

before we have a sense of its dimensions? Why does conquering autism

amount

to a Mount Everest challenge for health care providers including

homeopaths? Let s begin with the definition of autism used by conven

tional medical professionals, taken from the Diagnostic

and

Statistical

Manual

of

Mental Disorders (DSM).

DSM

V Diagnostic Criteria for

299 00

utism Spectrum

Disorder

A. Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction

across multiple contexts,

as

manifested by the following, currently

or by history (examples are illustrative,

not

exhaustive; see text):



Setting Up the

Workbench

15

1

Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, ranging, for example,

from abnormal social approach

and

failure of normal back-and

forth conversation; to reduced sharing

of

interests, emotions, or

affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions.

2. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social

interaction, ranging, for example, from poorly integrated

verbal and nonverbal communication; to abnormalities in eye

contact

and

body language or deficits in understanding

and

use

of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal

communication.

3. Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relation

ships, ranging, for example, from difficulties adjusting behavior

to suit various social contexts; to difficulties in sharing imagina

tive play or in making friends; to absence of interest in peers.

Holistic practitioners view autism much more broadly, as a whole-person

condition that includes physical as well as psychological and behavioral

symptoms. In fact these physical symptoms often show up first, as an

early warning sign that the child

is

heading towards autism. I call these

the Verging on Autism features, and they need to be taken very seri

ously by parents, who need to seek holistic rather

than

harmful drug

solutions (such as giving babies Prilosec for reflux).

Verging

on

Autism Features

whi h

indicate a child may he

heading towards the autistic spectrum:

• A child with GER (reflux) and projectile vomiting as an infant;

• A child who cannot stand to have her hair brushed, skin touched or

clothes on;

• A child with low muscle tone and runny stools, who can't tan or break

a sweat;

2 Guidelines concerning level

of

severity are included in the definition. Also com

pare with the similar Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder 315 .

6 Autism

Reversal

Toolbox

• A child with eczema over 70 of her

body and

an inability to sleep at

night;

• A child with chronic constipation

and

behavioral problems;

• A child with a perpetually scowling, grinning or expressionless face.

Which of the above is the more important: the autism definition or the

list of Verging on Autism Features? The question is rhetorical, for when

action is taken on the basis of the conventional autism definition above,

it is almost too late. Early intervention - if not outright prevention -

is

always key to stopping an epidemic

in

its tracks. Autism being

no

excep

tion to the rule, the presence of fifty percent

or

more of the above mildly

concerning symptoms is sufficient to

prompt

attention

and

intervention.

Soon enough we will introduce preventive and interventional specifics.

For now we are still only setting up our workbench, wherefore the discus

sion remains limited to theory. In order to establish a context for autism,

our modeling of its pathology encompasses considering autism from a

Sense Dimensional perspective (a full

mapping

of

which appears

in

the

Five

Sense Dimensions chart

on

page 189).

A Sense

imensional

Perspective

Sense Dimensional Analysis, a tool I derived from Five Phase theory in

Traditional Chinese Medicine, provides a framework for summarizing

the global nature of ASD. Introduced in

my

earlier book

Interpreting

Chronic Illness

Sense Dimensional Analysis facilitates a multi-modal

analysis of chronic illness states

in

which we look for a failure to resolve

the core issue of one, and perhaps an additional one or two collaterally

affected sense dimensions. However, there are two conditions- namely

cancer

and ASD

- which display a failure to resolve core oppositions

across all five

sense

dimensions.

For the reader new to the concept of sense dimensions, this is a version

of

what

lar season, element of nature, etc. For example, Wood is associated

with

Spring,

the nervous system

and

the

emotion of

anger.

In my

own rework

ing

of

the Five Phases, I have completed the association

of

each Element

with one of the five senses - thereby establishing the prominence of the

senses. In the given example,

Wood

pertains

to

the sense of sight.

The

system

is

not

as

complicated

as

it sounds,

and

you will soon catch the

spirit of its manner of investigating.

In support of this finding that autism and cancer are uniquely associated

in this model: remarkably, they have been discovered to share elevated

presence

of

an immune-suppressing enzyme, nagalase.

AS

D's parallel

with cancer receives further attention

on

pages 19

and

21.

As in Chinese Medicine's

Five

Phases (a metaphysical means of diag

nosis), general healthfulness attends the five sense dimensions flowing

cyclically in a clockwise direction . By flowing healthfully I mean that a

core issue embedded in a particular phase

is

successfully resolved.

When

this happens, beneficial energy or

chi

is

able to flow into the next phase,

within which a different core problem presents itself for resolution. Each

core issue is a

profound

existential question with many ramifications,

which

is

what

justifies designating its sense-related phase a

dimension.

These embedded issues will become clear in the forthcoming paragraphs.

Within classical

TCM

the phase movement has been likened to seasonal

movement

as

in Spring (the element

Wood),

Summer (the element Fire),

Late Summer

(the element

Earth

though

a bit

of

a fudge),

Autumn

(the

element Metal)

and

Winter (the element Water).

The

state of one harmo

nized Phase's exertion of influence over its successor Phase

is

known

as

the Mother-Son Rule.

Thus

aspects of the healthful Touch state (related to

Summer) reflect benefits conveyed from the cyclically preceding state, the

sense dimension, Sight Spring in the discussion below, introduced last).

Synchrony: In a healthful synchronous state, an infant's relation to

its mother is symbiotic, in tune with its needs

and

the mother s avail

ability. The two have successfully bonded; breast-feeding is going well.

Mother

and

child are in touch physically, emotionally

and

spiritually. As

one heartbeat calls forth another, a rhythmic call

and

response between

mother

and

child

is

established. More specifically, a relationship based

on oscillation excitability occurs: the heartbeat

of

the child being 120

when the mother's

is

60 , 140 when the mother's

is

70, or an octave higher

as Andreas Richter points out.

5

The resonance is maintained until the

1y month after birth.

With

regard to the preceding sense dimension, Sight resolution of the

core conundrum Chaos

vs.

Creativity facilitates rebirth, which can be

understood as creativity projected into the future. This is consistent

with Sight's association with springtime. The notion of rebirth in a more

general sense invites the beneficial influence

of

ancestors, enabling their

support to flow into the child.

A Sense-Dimensional Perspective 19

Isolation: The inverse of synchrony reflects any combination of the

following: the mother s failure to bond with her child; dysfunctional or

failed breast-feeding; stresses due to family discord before

or

during preg

nancy. Mother and child are discordant,

out

of sync. Call and response

is non-operant.

The

influence of ancestors

is

hindered. Here is the origin

of the ASD child s typical aversion to touch and the arrhythmical nature

of ASD tics. The isolated child may be prone to night terrors, a lack of

empathy,

and

vacant affect.

Cancer

and

autism within Touch: We may take a moment to step back

and consider this parallel, already touched upon in relation to the enzyme

nagalase: the autistic child displays touch

and

boundary insensitivity, a

feature that parallels the dimension of a Touch problem with many types

of cancer cells, their characteristic lack of contact

inhibition

where normal

cells cease their growth upon coming into contact with neighboring cells,

cancer cells are oblivious to their neighbor s proximity, reproducing heed

lessly whilst elbowing in upon neighboring tissue.

this empathy-producing hormone.)

struggle to attain maturity, we can

as

we did in Touch draw a parallel

between ASD (for its hyper-immaturity or regressiveness)

and

cancer.

Many cancer cells are malignant by virtue of their determination never to

grow up or ever to die: hence, their refusal to shorten their telomeres and

tantrum-like insistence

on

synthesizing their very own enzyme telomerase.

both

conditions: In

cancer, signaling pathways that mediate the normal functions

factors are often perversely affected? Autism too exhibits subversion

of growth factors, at least in mice. Mice with immature synapses due

to their lack of a copy of the

SHANK3

gene (associated with autism

and intellectual disability) displayed improved brain signaling follow

ing treatment with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) .

Autism and

cancer

both

share phosphorylation issues, meaning the cellular presence

of undesired kinase enzymes that interfere with the repair of DNA dou

ble-strand breaks. The

parallel with immaturity extends

if

we allow the

similarity between rampant cancer cell proliferation

and raging appetite;

or cell metastasis

and

bolting behavior (the tendency ofASD children to

flee from an unbearable environment such as a high-EMF and/or overly

stimulating one).

Disorientation: Failed or incomplete resolution

Season: Winter Phase: water

This

is

a complex and intricate dimension. Reflecting fluid metabolism

and reproductive function and what

is

known

s

the

water

phase

in

TCM,

the dimension of Hearing concerns a core opposition between

healthful Consolidation

and

pathological

Entropy.

Hearing

is

the ability

t

interpret audible sound, based on the collection and transformation of

fluctuations in pressure.

The

cognitive aspect of hearing - the selective act of listening - has

no equivalent among the other four senses. Within the cacophony of

surrounding sound, we attend to what interests us and turn a deaf ear

t

all else. To a greater extent

than any other

sense, hearing requires our

discriminating between what we permit to pass through and what we

do not.

That

for which we have no use would be toxic

if

retained, meaning

in

service to entropy. Therefore it

is

discarded.

That

which

is

valued not only

is

retained but permanently secured, thus the subject of consolidation.

This

idea

is

at play within TCM s elaboration of the water dimension

said to rule the

Kidneys

and Bladder which in Chinese medicine include

the bones, epithelium,

and

much of reproductive function:

•

Kidney

essence;

• Though the epithelium is soft and moist while the bones are dry and

hard,

both

serve

due to their functioning s boundaries between

cells and tissue. Comprising the foundation of our structural integrity,

a bastion against entropic collapse and the body s most durable tissue

able to survive its demise, the bones epitomize Hearing dimension

consolidation;

The Yuan or

Consolidation: Healthful mitochondria from the mother are established

within the fetus. Kidney Yang projects the will and purpose-laden Hun

Centeredness vs Disorientation, is prepared for the onerous lifetime

demands of hearing

and

words, accessing his Hun and serving his will

Entropy: Problematic resolution of Consolidation vs Entropy may be due

to dysfunctional resolution of Centeredness vs Disorientation. Or it may

reflect perpetuation of an unimproved upon or even worsened legacy.

It is said within TCM that congenital illness manifests within the Kidney

Yang.

chaotic anger. This is well expressed in the

Bible's Genesis chapter: Adam

and

Eve having eaten the fruit

of

knowl

edge growing

on

the Tree

of

Life

see

more

than

they should, namely

that

they are naked. Confusion and shame engulf them. God

sees

their viola

tion of His edict, reinforces their shame, and angrily condemns them to

a lifetime of chaos and struggle.

Not without reason does the English language contain the expression,

He

went

blind with rage, whereas

no

one says, He went

deaf

with

rage. The dimensional mandate within Sight is to transform anger into

creativity. Associated

with

Springtime, migratory return,

and

rebirth, the

sense dimension of Sight also reflects Sweden borg's depiction of birth

as

not only a regenerational event but

as

expressive of the soul's vision with

regard to lifetime possibilities (see pages 195-197).

Creativity: A child within whom ancestral and purposive resources are

consolidated is prepared to master the dimension of Sight. This entails

overcoming the frustration

of

curtailments

of

his will and confronting

the surrounding chaos. Success hinges on his or her becoming

visionary

adept at transmuting anger into creativity. s Temple Grandin points out

in Thinking in Pictures, autists tend to think visually, in pictures, which

is why verbal instructions are poorly absorbed. s seen below, the over

whelming power

of

their visual intensity promotes a chaotic inner life.

Chaos: When Hearing s issue of Consolidation vs . Entropy

is

poorly

resolved, the child lacks access to the inspirational resources

of

the

Hun.

The child will then struggle within the dimension of Sight, predisposing

her to frustration, confusion, anger, and a dearth of creativity. In TCM,

the organ associated with Sight is Liver. When Liver

is

out

of balance

(Liver Yang),

the result is explosive or suppressed anger (namely resent

ment).

Whether

hyperactive, flaring or constrained, Liver

Yang

accounts

for a range of chaotic symptoms. These include distractability, poor visual

focus, chaotically appearing symptoms (known as Wind

in

TCM) such

as tics and twitches, seizure and stroke; rage, depression, listlessness and

confusion; menstrual disorders; hemorrhage; and chronic infection.



30 Autism eversal Toolbox

ASD children literally cannot stand to see too much, which is why

their preferred visual mode is peripheral.

t

may be accounted for (or

reflected by) an overgrowth

of

cell signaling visual growth factors such

as

Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (discussed in the Sine Wave materia medica);

and why ASD children present with above-normal levels of strabismus

(according to Melvin Kaplin, O

14

) .

Although to the outside observer

the repetitive, scripting and obsessive behaviors of the ASD child appear

to represent a

triumph

of Chaos over

and

against Creativity, from the

child s internal perspective they represent a

triumphant

subjugation of

inner chaos and turmoil.

In advance ofany such consult we ask that the family provide the following:

1.

Developmental timeline for the individual

2. Medical history (or detailed summary thereof)

3.

Vaccination record

4. Medication record

5.

History of supplements and adjunctive modalities used

6. Meaningful array of photographs and/or videos as available (of partic

ular importance for long-distance work)

7. A comprehensive but freewheeling document we have come to refer to

as

the 'brain

dump .

Here the parents or other caregivers are encour

aged to write a mini-biography of the child that includes wider ranging

information:

• Details about noteworthy events especially physical or emotional

traumas leading up to the child's conception

•

The

child s diet and food cravings (not necessarily the same thing)

• Details concerning the mother's pregnancy, labor, delivery,

and

post-partum experience (these should include medical events, licit

or illicit

drug

use, stresses, conflicts)

• Was the child breast-fed and for how long?

• Legacies on either side of the family in regard to alcoholism, abusive

behavior, suicidality, mental illness, disease, disillusionment, geo

graphic dislocation or poverty

• Observational and intuition-based information concerning pivotal

never-well-since-events in their child

s

history



32 Autism

Toolbox

• Educational

and

career background information about the parents

themselves (and perhaps grandparents)

• Intra-family stresses such

s

the impact

of

the child's condition

on

his or her siblings

•

And

perhaps most importantly, the parents' intuition concerning

their child's innate nature.

I have the privilege of working with another homeopath who specializes

in autism Qhuma Biswas, CCH , and I strongly recommend

that

two

homeopaths work together

s

a team when treating ASD clients if at all

possible.

The

following guidelines will be written

s

if

the homeopaths

are working in a team. Parents seeking a professional homeopath should

be aware

that

this

is

rarely possible

due

to geographical limitations

of

available homeopaths.

Prior to the meeting, the lead practitioner and the members of his or her

team individually read, become familiar with

and

prepare questions in

regard to this material. A brief meeting should be held when the team's

own perceptions, intuitions and questions about the case can be compared.

The

purpose

of

this meeting should be to achieve consensus about one

or more smoking gun elements in the case: events, experiences or expo

sures implicated in having tipped the child

onto

the spectrum. Dr. Martha

Herbert explains the theory

of

a toxic load in her

The Autism Revolution

i.e. that autism can be the result of accumulated toxins in the environment,

and

the event that seems to cause regression may only be the last straw. To

a homeopath, the tipping point

is

often an emotional trauma.

ngaging the Session

The consulting room should be spacious

and

welcoming but also rela

tively free of distracting clutter.

Depending

on the surrounding environ

ment, one member of the team should be assigned to safeguarding and

monitoring

the typically random, unpredictable,

and

often distracting

movements of the autistic individual.

This

will serve both to protect the

child

and

minimize distractions in the interview.



The SD Intake 33

After welcoming

and

orienting the family to your approach, it is recom

mended that the family be asked if they have anything of importance to

add

to

the materials previously submitted.

Together with the family, the clinician

and

team members review the

materials especially the

brain dump

and

possible Never Well Since

events. At the same time, the team must maintain an open mindset so

as to not become married to any preconceived notions as

to

case analysis

or remedy selection. The initial person-to-person meeting with a family

invariably brings surprises.

Treating the other

Treating the mother is highly recommended, and in fact many homeo

paths require that parents be treated as well as the child no matter what

the condition. For an ASD child it is especially helpful

and

is

a natural

outgrowth

of

the ASD intake.

Doing

so suggests itself

as

an extension

of

the discussion

of

the mother's pre-

and

post-natal history. Often enough,

mother

and

child need the same remedy,

as

when they share equally in a

pregnancy-related trauma.

And

there are other considerations:

Especially with regard to the early years, the mother's relationship to the

child

is

paramount. This

is

because the child is not only built inside the

mother, but the mother provides to the fetus one of its two souls the

corporeal soul known as the Po. The Po being mortal, resides

within

the

child's ungs and perishes only

upon

the death of the body. Even when

mother

and

child do

not

require one

and

the same remedy, treating the

mother serves several purposes. Doing so can interrupt a negative familial

legacy; it can familiarize the mother (and father) with the homeopathic

process; in terms of family dynamics a positive shift in the energy of a key

parent can improve how an entire family interacts

and

functions.

NOTE treating the father concurrently with the mother (or in place of

the mother) also proves warranted at times. You may very well end up also

treating non-ASD siblings impacted by your client's condition.

So

take the

time to learn about intra-family stresses emanating from rhe ASD climate.

Ten Elements

of

a Successful Approach

1. Gain familiarity

with

developmental delays

You

cannot expect to understand disability

without

understanding health.

Review the sense dimensional

and

T M

modeling of health discussed in

the first chapter.

Did

you

know

that the vision

of

ASD children

is

pri-

marily peripheral?

That

in ASD the sound of one s own chewing can be

overwhelming and distracting?

That

ASD individuals are usually clueless

about social cues? That obstruction at an early developmental stage can

cripple all subsequent cognitive development?

Explore the Understanding Autism bibliography

see

page 200).

The

writings

of

Judith Bluestone, Temple Grandin, Suzanne Evans Morris,

Barbara Rogoff, Patricia Lerner and others will illuminate these and other

important considerations.

2. More than one pair

of

eyes

and

ears

The

sights, sounds

and

information overload

of

your initial consult can

be overwhelming. Another pair of

eyes and

ears absorbing information

and gathering

dues

safeguards against something important being missed.

In the ideal situation, partner up with either another clinician

or

astute

observer. As the information must be organized, dividing up the tasks

simplifies analysis. For example, assign responsibility for analyzing the

vaccination record; the medication and supplements record; the history

of other modalities used; and family legacies.

While every ASD individual

is

precious and unique, it

is

also true that

many of these clients exhibit behaviors that are distressingly uniform. To

avoid the mortification of drawing a blank when called about a particular

child, or mixing him

or

her up with another child, make sure that at

least one team member records several salient individuating features in

a handy place for future reference.

If

you are working solo, develop a

shorthand means

of

identifying or tagging each client.

Make sure your intake

is

comprehensive. While what is central to any

case cannot be foreordained, the following areas

of

investigation must

not be overlooked:

• Medicinal or recreational drug use in all stages;

• Vaccination record explicitly required);

• Medical

and

pharmaceutical history explicitly required);

• Developmental timeline explicitly required);

• Trauma

of

any sort;

• Family legacies in regard to miasmatic influence, addiction, emotional

disturbance;

• A history

spousal incompatibility;

• The presence

of

specific incidents or a history

of

familial conflict;

• Issues

of

conception, pregnancy, delivery, post-partum depression;

• Use ofArtificial Reproductive Technology ART).

Examples

of

intake details revealing a family miasm:

members impulsive and scattered) lends credence to a Saccharum

3. A silent, non-reactive ASD child with the background presence

of

an

immensely oppressive maternal grandfather indicates the child

ma

y be

carrying his mother s psychic burden. Plumbum may initiate a produc

tive course of care.

4 Consider treating the siblings

The

outsized attention that an ASD child requires can not only afflict his or

her brother or sister but distort family dynamics

healthy sibling may be drawn into the inappropriate demands

child who demands so much attention. The exhausted parents may over

look the healthy sibling s feelings, resulting in a compounding of the psychic

impact. Pay attention to the siblings and

if

possible treat them

as

well.

5 Familiarize yourselfwit other modalities

Whether or not you wish to encounter non-homeopathic modalities,

you won t have a choice. Families with one or more ASD children are so

determined and resourceful that they are likely to utilize

ot

her modali

ties unfamiliar to you. You cannot ask them to discontinue all the other

modalities - they will not - although you certainly need to ask that they

not start two different modalities at once (which would then make it

difficult to

assess

your remedy). You will have to

not

only learn about

but

also accommodate the varied requirements

of

these other therapies,

attaining expertise beyond the curriculum of most homeopathy schools

today. Homeopathy is rarely sufficient by itself to reverse a diagnosis of

autism, therefore collaboration with other specialists

is

advised.

A sampling

of

currently popular modalities:

• kinesiology

(as

a testing modality)

• craniosacral therapy

• acupuncture

• chelation

• hyperbaric chamber oxygenation

•

EM R (Eye

Movement Desensitivisation

and

Reprocessing)

• NAET, a

method

of clearing allergies based on homeopathy

and


Applied Behavior Analysis

(ABA)

deserves mention because although it

may seem to give good results initially, its behavior modification

method

based on reward

o

a tightrope

This

recommendation requires a delicate balance. For it asks the practi

tioner to simultaneously be structure-conscious

and

fl

exible.

On

the one hand:

• Rigorously seek the never-well-since factor, the event or trauma that

caused the regression to autism (with perhaps an alternative explana

tion

or

two in your back pocket, since this factor can be the key to your

whole treatment).

On the other hand:

•

Be

enterprising, delving into

what

can be called the fault line in the

case: an

outer

manifestation of the inner stress that caused the problem.

Be

alert for a key image

and

its related sensation. (For example, if the

mother keeps repeating the phrase or image forced out in relation

to the child's birth, explore the remedy family related to this sensation

according to Sankaran's method.) Also consider whether the sensation

may relate to a miasm or family legacy.

7 Take your time analyzing

We spoke earlier

of

the value

of

more than one pair

of

eyes

and

ears in

the consultation room.

Now

we speak of attending to

and

utilizing

what

those eyes and ears have absorbed. Each member

of

the team

is

likely to

notice something important. No detail is too unimportant to overlook,

yet the homeopath

must

learn from experience to focus only on the most

important aspects.

The entry point

for a successful case

is

most likely to

emerge from an open group discussion.

f

you are working alone, take

the time to review your notes for rare

and

peculiar details, deciding the

remedy after the intake interview.

8 Formulate your game plan

n the Workshop Methods section of this book, formulating the game

plan will be referred to

as

plotting the outline ofyour Sine Wave approach.

This

postulates a strategy in which constitutional care freely alternates with

detoxification (or clearing) via tautopathy

and

biotherapeutic drainage.



Ten

Elements

of a Successful Approach 39

TheTo Dos:

• Extract or formulate an etiology of the case;

• IdentifY noxious-influence obstacles to cure;

• IdentifY deharmonized systems (e.g. the kidneys

and/or

liver especially

important when selecting Unda remedies);

• Prepare a list oflikely constitutional, supportive, and intercurrent remedies;

ASD case management is harder than remedy selection. Detoxification

can be onerous and so

must

be prepared for. Techniques to minimize

or forestall the suffering of both child and family will be covered in the

Materia Medica for Managing Exacerbations, page 149. Here

is

where

non-homeopathic methods utilizing substances such as diatomaceous

earth, bentonite

clay

zeolite, activated charcoal, and a blue-green algae

such as AFA-gen

come into play (see page 82 for more

about these substances that can

9 Manage expectations

Keep in mind:

• ASD families have experienced much disappointment.

They

now

appreciate realism;

• Unexpected regressions are disheartening to the family,

though

often

explicable to the

homeopath

due to the nature of detoxification

work

;

• Even successful cases can take years to complete.

10

o not limit

your practice to autistic clients

Note:

When

you succeed in

your

ASD work there will be pressure to take

on

too

many

clients. Succumbing to this pressure

is

not advised:

• Having a mix

of

clients

is

less stressful

than

working with a single,

difficult population;

• A diverse caseload amplifies one s understanding of

human

nature

and

ultimately enhances homeopathic skill.

At the time of his writing Autism: Beyond Despair, his guide to CEASE,

Smits held the opinion that autism was one

hundred

percent revers

ible.

This

remains true in theory

and is

supported by the many positive

results homeopaths achieve with their ASD clients. Mitigating against

Dr. Smits' optimism

is

a disturbing awareness that the autism epidemic

shows no sign of relenting and there are too few qualified homeopaths to

counter it. Moreover, we observe that even with sophisticated treatment,

autism grows increasingly challenging to treat and the road to cure often

times lengthier. Where to point the finger of blame?

The

list of likely culprits includes:

*

The

proliferation

of

genetically modified foods (because they actively

cause harm) and demineralized foods (because they fail to provide

essential nutrients);

* ontinued expansion of mandatory childhood vaccination (for the

research studies connecting vaccinations to autism, see Tinus Smits'

Autism Beyond Despair ;

* Environmental toxicity including the proliferation of electromagnetic

field radiation (EMF, see Zapped a

* Increase

of

pregnancies resulting from artificial reproductive technology

* Excessive reliance on increasingly powerful antibiotics;

* Inadvisable or excessive reliance on pharmaceuticals during pregnancy

Before Labor: Safoguard Your Baby s Microbiome

Conventional maternity care routinely includes practices that are harmful

to your new baby s microbiome (the collection

of

viruses, bacteria, fungi

etc. living within and on the surface tissue of

your

C-sections; early bathing; time lapse before the mother holds the child;

staff members, friends and family members other than the mother

holding the infant first;

and other

events (see Disruption

17

Whereas some of the homeopathies

are themselves derived from placenta

and

umbilical cord, it stands to reason that one s very own placenta or

umbilical cord could be even better suited to the subsequent health care

needs of one s child. A qualified homeopath can be recruited to work

with a homeopathic pharmacy to create appropriate potencies

of

such

auto-sarcodes (one s own tissue converted into a remedy). A suggested

guiding principle for the homeopath working with a family u ~ i n an

Not every artist s nightmare comes true or represents a genuine vision.

The Promise o Homeoprophylaxis HP)

Granted,

our

knowledge of autism spectrum attaches serious risk

to

the

ever-expanding vaccination schedule.

How

then to reduce that risk while

also providing protection from historically lethal epidemic diseases? A

body

of

evidence introduced by the Australian researcher Isaac Golden

provides a compelling possibility: That an effective substitute for vaccines

apparently exists, namely their homeopathic equivalent, homeopathic

nosodes (not vaccines).

Dr. Golden s argument

is

presented below verbatim, preceded by the

following caveats:

1

Dr. Golden has proposed (or at least his work has been interpreted

to mean) that the entire government vaccination schedule should be

replaced by the corresponding homeopathic remedies.

He

supports

this proposal with evidence

that

homeopathy can be used preventively

during an epidemic, going back

to Hahnemann s use of Belladonna

as

a prophylaxis during a scarlet fever epidemic. However, giving a

remedy to be used on the spot for an immediate threat cannot be

compared

to

giving a series of remedies against a possible and unlikely

future danger. These are two quite different situations that Dr. Golden

conflates. Dr. Golden also recommends

much

higher potencies than

Hahnemann used.

2. Dr. Golden justifies his proposal with research showing that children

who were given homeopathic nosodes are healthier than children

given the comparable full-strength vaccines. But this may be a classic

example of confusing correlation with causation. Parents willing to

experiment with a homeopathic substitute for vaccines are likely

to be supporting their children s health in many other ways such as

natural childbirth, lengthy breastfeeding,

organic/non GMO

foods,

use of non-toxic household products, avoidance of antibiotics

and

other drugs,

and

protection from EMFs.

t

would be difficult to find

three large cohorts

of

children matched in all respects except the use

of

homeopathic vaccine-substitutes, which is what would be necessary



The Promise ofHomeoprophylaxis 45

for a valid research study. A proper study would require one cohort of

children who received the standard series of vaccines; a second who

received Dr. Golden's recommendation

of

homeopathic nosodes

s

substitutes; and a third who received neither. The children would have

to be matched in all respects,

not

only age and gender

but

also

in

all lifestyle factors such s those listed above.

t

is possible

that

the

homeopathic substitute group

in

Dr. Golden's example below were

healthier because of other lifestyle choices made by the parents, not

because of the homeopathic protocol.

3. Dr. Golden's book, The Complete Practitioner s

anual

of

Homeoprophylaxis, sometimes promotes a pared-down P schedule,

in other words the minimal use of nosodes s substitutes for vaccines.

But he also advocates the substitution of high-potency homeopathic

nosodes for mandated vaccinations, including for diseases the child

is

unlikely to encounter.

If P

moves in this direction it strikes me

s

unnecessary and possibly unsafe to mimic

with

homeopathic nosodes

the American government's onerous version

of

the vaccination sched

ule. All homeopathic remedies are powerful, the nosodes unusually so

(because they are made directly from diseases), and it may not be safe

to introduce the vibration of fatal diseases into the body's energetic

system. We may

not

know for several decades, perhaps

not

for several

generations, whether it is safe to give these high potency nosodes.

For parents wishing

to

avoid conventional vaccines, Golden's proposal

to

substitute a full protocol

of

homeopathic nosodes does

not

provide

legal exemption and I cannot recommend it at this point. Instead I rec

ommend

working with a professional homeopath or naturopath who can

provide protection

s

needed against an illness to which your child

is

being directly exposed, such s measles or whooping cough (using those

examples because those vaccines have lost some

of their effectiveness.)

Dr. Golden s proposal in his own words:

We know that homoeoprophylaxis (HP)

is

non-toxic so the crucial ques

tion is does it work?

Put

simply, there

is

no

point

in using something

which is safe if it doesn't work.

There

are four types

of

evidence

now

available.

(i)

Historical Evidence: Vaccination was first used in 1796 and

HP

was

first used in 1798. There is over 200 years of recorded clinical evidence

showing the real-world effectiveness . The founder of homeopathy, Dr.

Samuel

Hahnemann,

was the first to use

HP

in epidemic situations

and

it has been used by many masters of homeopathy since then. However

much of this information is not collected into statistical studies and does

not

suggest rates of effectiveness.

t

has value, but we shall next examine

statistical studies.

(ii) Epidemic Studies: There have been a number of studies published in

English describing the effectiveness of HP in epidemic conditions. Most

have found an effectiveness of around

90 . Other

studies from South

America and India have

ye

t to be translated. The most thorough study

in English undertaken by orthodox practitioners and scientists was from

Brazil in 1998.

The Brazilian Experience

In

1998 there was an outbreak

of

meningococ

cal meningitis type B in a region of Brazil. Many doctors in that country

are also homeopaths.

There

was no vaccine available at the time (there

is still no vaccine available for Meningococcal type B in Australia), so

a group of doctors who worked in the region used the meningococcal

nosode to immunize 65,826 children. Another 23,539 children in the

region were not immunized. The doctors followed the two groups for 12

months. The efficacy ofhomeoprophylaxis was

95

after six months

and

91 after 12 months. t was a complete and statistically rigorous report

and was published in a leading peer reviewed homeopathic journal, and

(iii) Long-term Endemic Studies: My own research into a long-term HP

program for use against potentially serious infectious diseases commonly

present in the Australian community collected

and

examined data from

1986 to 2004. The results of the research have been published

and

are

now available.

The

research which has been completed comprised two parts:

a A National Health Survey - this research studied 781 children

between 5

and

10 years of age. Through a questionnaire completed by

parents, measures of each child's general

immune

competence (using the

diseases of asthma, chronic eczema, chronic ear infections, allergies and

behavioural problems) were compared

to

the method

of

disease preven

tion which the child used, including vaccination, homoeopathy, general

constitutional treatment, no method at all, or a combination

of

all

of

these. The relative safety and effectiveness of the different immunisation

methods studied was then calculated.

b. A Twenty-Year Clinical

Study-

using responses from parents whose

children used my 5 year homoeoprophylactic program for disease pre

vention from 1985 to 2004. 2,342 responses were collected, each one

covering one year

of

a child's life.

The

effectiveness

and

safety

of

the

homoeopathic option to vaccination is fully discussed,

Epigenetics

2

Inheritable changes within the germ cells

Samuel Hahnemann s theory ofmiasms (the idea that someone who con

tracts a disease can pass along a related weakness to his offspring) was con

troversial because it was associated with the theories of Lamarck, which

seemed to be disproved by Darwin s theories

of

evolution. Epigenetics

the

study ofhow environmental factors influence whether or not a gene

is turned

on - is changing that. Moreover, the biochemical basis for the

perpetuation

of

these changes,

what

homeopaths have long understood

as

miasms, has now been established:

Epigenetic factors are chemicals able to attach themselves to DNA and

proteins in information-coding chromosomes. Environmental effects

on

the

DNA

due to diet, stress or pollution are generally washed away

shortly during genomic imprinting. Yet it has been found

that

after con

ception, epigenetic factors can undergo wave upon wave of resetting

in

support

of

gender appropriate fetal cell development.

_Lamarck, rodent studies reporting

epigenetic effects

Epigenetic changes are alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell

that are either not caused by changes in the DNA sequence, or not neces-

sarily heritable alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell. These

chemical groups thus

modified epigenetic groupings can be seriously pathogenic when abnormal.

changes themselves, the functional actions within the genome not involv-

ing a change in the nucleotide sequence.

Examples: Methylation is an important biochemical process vital to the

methionine, an amino acid supporting the heart and blood vessels,

bile acid formation

production of a powerful anti-oxidant, glutathione. Glutathione protects

against DNA/RNA damage while also aiding heavy metal and chemical

more the miasms become com

bined in our patients, the more aggressive diseases become. In the disease of

acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), there are symptoms from

after.

later continues, In the Electronic Age, the AIDS miasm reacts to a

world that is too big and complex by throwing itself open. Hence the

boundary-transgressing features of the AIDS miasm are derived.

Writing in 2002, Fraser goes on to speculate that following AIDS, the next

great miasm could be spongiform encephalopathy

( mad cow disease ) or its

non-infective relative, Alzheimer's disease. Twelve yea

rs

later, considering the

combination of its infectious and autoimmune elements, the AIDS miasm

appears transitional

to

what has in fact come nex

t:

a miasm I call Neural

Autoimmunity Miasm (NAIM), epigenetically based and thoroughly

auto-immune. It encompasses mad cow disease , Alzheimer's and autism

spectrum disorders, all

of

which have in common a closed mindset at the

opposite end of the spectrum from the over

openness

of the AIDS miasm.

The

How

of Condition Suppression

Heudens-Mast makes a point that encourages exploration

of

an important

territory: the relationship between

how

a disease

is

suppressed and the

expression

of

a consequently developing miasm. This is especially relevant

in regard to NAIM due to the unprecedented toxic assault on the vital force

that the prefiguring AIDS miasm signifies. Since we are accustomed to asso

ciating miasms with infectious diseases, the concept of a (non-infectious)

neural autoimmunity miasm may require as large a revolution in think

ing as Hahnemann s original introduction of miasmatic theo ry.

Classifying Miasmatic Remedies

Numerous challenges attend miasmatic reasoning. These include address

ing compelling but unanswerable questions such

as:

Was there

ever

really a

single, primordial miasm and

if

so,

was

it the original sin -like

Psora?

Does

the direction of cure exhibit a determinable, miasm-shedding sequence?

miasms, how does it help our prescribing to differentiate among the miasms?

Cumbersome

though

it may be, the theory provides a

point

of

entry

. For

example, we can classifY remedies pertaining to the miasms in three ways:

1 Remedies made from physical products of the disease (i.e. nosodes)

2. Remedies extracted from nature: remedies

not

made from the disease

whose proving

and

empirical evidence amazingly approximate the

miasm s key symptoms. Please note

that

remedies selected for rep

resenting a miasm in nature also exert an actual curative influence.

Additional remedies also fit the criterion.

3. Remedies derived from a medicinal substance historically used to sup

press the disease or, a substance approximating the general tenor of the

disease s historical suppression. In maintaining both an allopathic and

homeopathic relationship to the disease, these third-category remedies

both

promote

and

reflect miasmatic elements. This point compels us

to expand

upon ahnemann

s understanding

of

a miasm as the terrain

resulting from a disease followed by suppression of its symptoms:

Perpetual weakening of the immune system as via iatrogenic influence

(e.g. circulation of live viruses from vaccines) equates with miasmatic

pressure to become inheritable and chronic. As the following examples

illustrate

we should beware

of

he substances nd circumstances associ-

ted

with each miasmatic suppressor representative.

In the original jive we now

also

include

Leprosy

Ringworm Yersinia

nd

AIDS. Thus:

to the AIDS miasm's helplessness

of

burgeoning technology

embraces it. NAIM also represents completion of an evolutionary move

ment directed away from externally-derived infection and towards self

referential auto-infection, namely autoimmunity, conjoint with its

cohort, autistic solipsism.

NAIM

and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) Axis

NAIM can be co-morbid with dysfunction

within

the HPA axis, a com

ponent of the autoimmune system responsive to stress and restoration

of the homeostatic state. This mini-system regulates release of the body's

anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids (GCs)

Homo

and

complex

and

increasingly toxic environment challenges

our

ability to

gain and maintain proper health. Therefore he developed compounded

homeopathic remedies which he believed stimulated more efficient elim

ination of these toxins.

In order to chart the biological process towards optimal health, Dr.

Reckeweg created the Table of Homotoxicology. This table includes the

six phases

of

healing. The first three

phases-

Excretion, Inflammation

and

Deposition - are the reaction phases. When the body functions within

these first three phases, it demonstrates its strength to respond

and

react

to toxic invaders such

as

viruses, bacteria, heavy metals,

and

pesticides.

These positive reactions could appear as a fever cough, a runny nose, loose

stools, or increased urination.

The

latter three phases - Impregnation,

Degeneration and

Neoplasm-

are the exhaustion phases. Those languish

il}g in these latter phases have been pushed beyond the limits of

human

phy logy. Their ability to react and eliminate xenobiotics

and

pathogens

is

lir;Yted,

and

the toxins have now penetrated the cells. When tracking

the progress of an autistic spectrum individual in the course of his or her

care, the Table ofHomotoxicology is an invaluable resource.

According to Reckeweg s chart, these children s systems are overwhelmed

by our modern society: The barrage of toxins both in utero and upon

infants and toddlers exceeds their capacity for proper elimination and

they have attained a saturation point. Toxins then are found to have

migrated from the extra-cellular matrix to the interior of the cell. No

longer able to stay

within

the reaction phases

of

health, the child

is

found

to have devolved into the exhaustion phases with an ASD diagnosis.

Trauma and Stress

Among

Fetal istress and

SD

According to the epidemiologist

Hannah

Gardner writing in the journal

Pediatrics

Reduced oxygen supply, during labor, during delivery, during

the prenatal period, during early infancy could influence autism risk.

Speaking

of

complications related to autism she says, Neonatal anemia,

a condition in which the body doesn't have enough oxygen-carrying red

blood cells, for example, was associated with nearly eight times the risk

a child would develop autism later in life. Meconium aspiration, which

can occur when a fetus that's under stress

and

not

getting enough oxygen

inhales waste products inside the

womb

, was linked to a sevenfold increase

in the likelihood that a child would later develop autism. Birth injury or

trauma i ~ e autism risk fivefold. Babies with blood types incom

patible With

th

eir mother's had nearly four times the risk. Very low birth

weight infants) or infants weighing

less

than 3.3 pounds at birth, faced

triple the risk. Maternal hemorrhage more than doubled the odds.

Iatrogenic Perils for the etus and

eonate

Many

kinds

of

iatrogenic fetal distress are possible. Below are some

of

the

most common:

Washing Off the Vernix aseosa This lanolin-like layer that protects

the baby at birth was traditionally rubbed into the skin by the midwife.

Vernix has been made into a homeopathic remedy and included in Tinus

Smits' Inspiring

Homeopath

y series used

as

part of his CEASE protocol.

Its provings include sensory sensitivities and lack

of

boundaries, proving

that washing

off

the vernix in modern hospitals predisposes children to

these conditions.

ord lamping When

a baby

is

born, it takes about twenty minutes for

all the blood in the placenta to

be transferred to the child.

In

modern

hospitals, the cord

is

clamped right away denying the baby its full due

of life-giving blood, hemoglobin and oxygen. According to George

Malcolm Morley,

9

newborns in receipt of a full placental transfusion at

birth (i.e. those whose cords were not clamped) garner enough iron to

prevent anemia during the first year

of

life.

He

therefore concludes

that

full placental transfusion (continuous oxygenation during birth, natural

cord closure) will help to prevent autism, mental retardation, behavioral

ili

orders

and

learning disabilities relating to infant anemia.

According to Morley, Immediate cord clamping is now a common

practice and occurs in almost all modern obstetrical births. It is routine

when a

NICU

team

is

present at an 'at risk' birth and

is

mandated by

COG (The American Congress ofObstetricians

and

Gynecologists) for

cord blood pH determination. In current obstetrical practice, naturally

occurring cord closure

is

almost never permitted, obstetricians

and

pediatricians being oblivious to any danger incurred by immediate cord

clamping.

practice to blame? Vaccination Liberation, http: / /www.vaclib.org/news/autismnews.htm:



Conceptual Tools: Iatrogenic Perils for the Fetus

and

Neonate 69

Morley states that autism can be expected to correlate with birth records

of premature cord clamping or with circumstances confirmatory of

immediate/early cord clamping, that it should

not

be expected to cor

relate with natural cord closure or with a newborn that cries quickly and

has a five-minute Apgar score

of

9 or 10. Despite the fact that the time

of

cord clamping is not normally recorded, Morley recommends that

an autistic child's birth records be scrutinized: A preponderance

of

yes

answers to the questions below suggests

that

autism

and

related child

hood

developmental

and

behavioral disorders may have resulted from

hypoxic brain injury at birth caused by immediate cord clamping:

• Was a cord

pH

sample taken at birth?

• Was a

NICU

team present at birth?

• Was there any fetal distress during birth?

• Was there meconium staining

of

the Buid?

• Was the child resuscitated immediately after birth?

• Was the child given oxygen?

• Did the baby start crying after being separated from the mother?

• Was the baby born by Cesarean section?

• Did the baby become anemic?

• Did the baby receive a blood transfusion or a blood volume expander?

• Was the five-minute Apgar score less than

8?

• Was the baby born prematurely?

• Was the child admitted to the

NICU

Note

a familiar caveat here: cord clamping

is

universal, only one child in

fifty

is

autistic, therefore it cannot be the only or even the main expla

nation. Also many

of

the above questions reflect circumstances which in

themselves increase the risk

of

autism.

Implication for homeopaths Extensive use of the remedy Laurocerasus,

indicated pursuant to anoxia, should be considered. Even years after a

documented case

of

asphyxia, I have seen this remedy produce significant

improvements in ASD individuals.

Pharmaceutical latrogenesis

Pitocin A synthetic form of oxytocin (the bonding hormone that pro

motes attachment between mother

and

child), it promotes contractions

during labor and is given when labor is delayed (according to the obstetri

cian's schedule). Pitocin has direct harmful side effects (slowed or altered

heart rate, low Apgar scores, retinal hemorrhage, seizures, permanent brain

damage,

and

in the worst case scenario fetal death).

40

Its indirect effects can

be even worse: starting a pitocin drip almost inevitably leads to a C-section

with its additional harmful effects on the baby;

and

Pitocin blocks the

oxytocin (bonding hormone) receptors, interfering with the baby-mother

relationship and (arguably and anecdotally) setting the stage for autism.

41

Fenoterol With the opposite effect of Pitocin, this tocolytic (anti

contraction medication) used to prevent premature labor has been im

plicated by German homeopath Dr. Andreas Richter in

immature

reg

ulation in infants, causing them to be over-excited and over-reactive to

the most minimal stimuli, causing

them

to scream incessandy.

42

Intoler

ance

of

even the slightest touch or noise, resulting in endless screaming,

is

a typical pattern for autistic children. Dr. Richter reports the use of

homeopathic Fenoterol to be curative

in

certain of such cases.

Terbutaline Another tocolytic used to delay premature labor so that the

mother can be injected with steroids to help the bab

y s

lungs develop.

Terbutaline's fetal or neonatal side effects include problems with the heart

p ~ r t

rate and birth defects of the heart). It also includes problems

with blo

sugar level control, another major theme for some autistic

kids, who)crave sweets

and

melt down emotionally when they get hypo

glycemic. In instances where terbutaline had been administered to delay

premature labor, the tautopathic u

se

of this drug

(i

.e. Terbutaline as a

homeopathic remedy) has been beneficial in our

ASD

practice.

Antidepressants: The most common antidepressants such

as

Prozac

are thought to work by reducing reuptake (absorption) of serotonin,

the calming neurotransmitter. These drugs, known as selective sero

tonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRls), have been linked to autism

when

taken during pregnancy,

in

eight different studies published since 2011.

According to Adam Urato, MD of the Tufts Medical

Center

in Boston:

t

is

a scientific fact that serotonin plays a crucial role in the devel

opment of the embryonic (up to 10 weeks gestation) and fetal (from

10 weeks gestation until delivery) brain. No one can question that.

Serotonin is a crucial neurotransmitter and cell-signaling molecule

that is vital for the formation of the fetal brain (and in

many

other

body systems). The SSRl antidepressants alter the serotonin system

- this

is

indisputable

as

well. SSRls are

not

naturally occurring sub

stances

that

depressed patients are deficient in. The SSRls aren't like

insulin for diabetics. These SSRls are synthetic chemical compounds

that

alter the serotonin system. So with the use of SSRls during preg

nancy,

what

we have is exposure of the developing brain and its crucial

serotonin system to synthetic chemical compounds

that

alter

that

very

system.

43

In instances wherein a

mother

was prescribed Prozac and gave

birth

to

an autistic child, tautopathic clearing of the Prozac (i.e. using a remedy

made from Prozac) has been beneficial

in

the child's treatment.

University School of Medicine neuroscientist who has found

that

ultra

sound waves cause the neurons ofprenatal mice to alter their distribution

in the brain: a smaller percentage migrates to the upper cortical layers

of

the mouse s brain while a larger percentage migrates to the lower layers

and

white matter.

45

A preponderance of neurons in this lower region, at

the expense of the upper cortical layers where cognition and processing

occur, suggests that ultrasound can subvert mental functioning and pro

mote glial overload (a major issue

in

autism, as was explained in the Glial

and Neuronal Overload section, page 84).

Expanding

on

this research

is

the work

of

neurologist Manuel Casanova,

MD

who reports finding in response to ultrasound, significant diver

gence between the brains

of

autistic patients

and

controls with regard to

the number of

min,icolumns,

in the horizontal spacing that separates cell

columns. He also notices differences in the relative dispersion of cells,

meaning

that

cell columns in the brains of autistic individuals appear to

be numerous, smaller, and less compact in their cellular configuration.

46

During early embryonic develo

pment

glial cells derived from ectoder

mal tissue commandeer the migration of neurons and also synthesize the

molecules modifYing the growth of axons and dendrites.

t

can thus be

supposed that ultrasound poses an environmental threat to the neuroglia

whose role in

ASD

Traditional Chinese Medicine's concept of the Corporeal Soul, the Po

both

and

newborn child. Research findings support this.

In

a study involving 2900 women, the journal

Frontiers

in

Psychology

reports that offspring of mothers who experience high levels of stress

during pregnancy are more likely to have problems in neurobehavioral

development. There

is

preliminary evidence that prenatal maternal stress

(PNMS)

is

a risk factor for both autism and attention deficit hyperactivity

fu was emphasized in our discussion

of

the intake

and often proven in clinical practice, stress and trauma encountered during

pregnancy play a major role in the newborn's health. If the mother has

an emotional trauma while pregnant (such

as

grief, betrayal, humiliation),

the baby is often born needing the same remedy the mother would have

needed. Special care must be taken to get a full and accurate reporting of

all

events surrounding the time

these factors:

This

is

an example of how infertility would

• Homeopaths

accompanying tautopathic treatment (in which, via dilution

and

succussion, a particular

or vaccine suspected of causing harm is

converted into a homeopathic remedy which can reverse the effects of

that

substance);

• Evidence-based knowledge, such as the oft-repeated observation of a

52

ADRs are one

of

the leading causes

of

morbidity

and

mortality in health care. The

Institute of Medicine reported in January of 2000 that from 44,000 to 98,000 deaths occur

annually from medical errors.1

Of

this total, an estimated 7,000 deaths occur due to ADRs.

To put this in perspective, consider that 6,000 Americans die each year from workplace

injuries.

According to one credible estimate, approximately one thousand Americans die

of

medi

cal errors every

day.

We do a staggering amount

of

harm every day;' Dr. Ashish Jha

of

the

Harvard School

of

Public Health told a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing. Another esti

that 440,000 Americans die every year from tragic medical errors.(FOOTNOTE: http://

These statistics only include the number

of

ADRs that occur in hospitals. They do not

include, for example, medications taken at home (where medication error is more like

ly to occur). Also, the figure for hospitals does not include the (estimated) more than

350,000 ADRs in U.S. nursing homes each year.3 The exact number of ADRs is not certain

and is limited by physicians' willingness to report them, among other factors. However,

whatever the true number is, ADRs represent a significant public health problem that is,

Vaccination mprint

Setting aside their known, individually harmful ingredients (such as

mercur

y,

aluminum,

and

formaldehyde), vaccinations offer a forbidding

example

of

pharmacological burden:

53

•

They

are a stress to the organism impacting our constitutional state

no differently than bodily injury or emotional trauma.

This

is to say

they can present a new and unique

shock-

as when, in our previous

example, a child suddenly loses speech; or by exacerbating pre-existing

miasmatic patterns or chronic illness dynamics.

• Not limited to a particular category, vaccine-related illness encompasses

the full range of chronic diseases in children, from asthma, eczema,

and allergies to otitis media, to learning disabilities and emotional

or behavior problems. Homeopaths can document the connection

because, in clinical practice, these illnesses can be reversed by using

homeopathic preparations of the vaccines.

• Sy

mptom

s specific to each vaccine can be jumbled together with

symptoms latent or pre-existing in a patient.

The

etiology is disentan

gl

ed only retroactively

as

a result

of

effective treatment.

• They deliver us into the hands ofwhat might be described as genuine

immuniry's impostor cousin. According to Richard Moscowitz,

MD

comparing immuniry acquired by childhood dise

ase

with that con

ferred by the MMR:

The vaccine virus produces no local sensitization at the portal

of

entry,

no incubation, no massive outpouring, and no acute disease of any

kind. t can elicit long-term antibody production solely by surviving

in latent form in

th

e lymphocytes and macro phages

of

the blood. Bur

then the vaccinated individual would have no way to get rid

of

it, and

the technical

fe

at

of

antibody synthesis could at most represent the

memory

of

this chronic infection. Nobody would be foolish enough

to argue

th

at vaccines render us 'immune' to viruses

in fact they

On

the contrary, such a carrier state would

tend to compromise our ability to respond to other infections

as

well,

and

would have

to

be regarded

as

immunosuppressive in that sense.

The

vaccines cause individualistic immunosuppressive effects. According

to Moscowitz:

In addition to their specific effects, only a few of which have yet been

identified, each vaccine probably has immunosuppressive or nonspecific

effects that would look quite different for each patient, promoting chronic

at the expense

of

acute responses, i.e., having

to

do with style rather than

content. In the case of the DPT vaccine, and probably for the rest as

well, the net will have to be widened to include enuresis, eczema, asthma,

allergies, nervous

Conceptual Tools: Heavy Metal Toxicity 81

Heavy Metal Toxicity

Heavy metals, including mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, and ·

nickel, resemble essential trace elements and can replace them in the body.

They can cause malfunction anywhere the essential elements are needed,

leading to the homotoxicosis cascade. Where a specific metal has an affinity

for a particular organ, that organ s function

is

disrupted or it may

fail,

causing

a domino effect on related organs. Mercury, for example, will concentrate

in the brain, where its adverse effects on the brain s lipid tissue include cog

nitive dysfunction, emotional instability, anxiety, tremor, polyneuropathy,

paresthesia, blurred vision, and unsteady gait. In the heart, mercury causes

cardiac dysrhythmia. Its presence in the bones causes osteoporosis and in the

kidneys, renal failure.

The

replacement of mercury-based thimerasol with

preservatives containing aluminum also with an affinity for the brain) did

nothing to render the resulting vaccines any

less

neurotoxic.

Lead, another potent neurotoxin, concentrates in the brain and is known

to retard intelligence in children . Nickel appears to disrupt hormone

activity, especially in women.

Heavy metal toxicity is considered by many the prime culprit in ASD

causation. Chelation (the process of removing heavy metals from the body,

usually done intravenously) ought to be undergone patiently and not

rushed so as to not send the body into stress. The homeopathic method

of

biotherapeutic drainage is clearly advantageous,

not

to mentJon that

conventional chelation requires a child to sit for extended periods attached

to an

IV.

Three key principles with regard to the elimination of heavy metals via

biotherapeutic drainage are:

1. to make sure the body

is

replete with essential minerals ahead of time

so that chelating does not tax the body s mineral reserve. There are

numerous mineralizing formulas .

and

3. to prevent the metals released into the bloodstream from being reab

The

following agents deter heavy metal reabsorption either by

binding with the heavy metal molecules or promoting drainage.

• Chlorella, a green algae, one

of

the most nutrient-dense substances

on earth, with the ability to bind with metals such as mercury, lead,

and

cadmium.

• L-glutathione The predominant antioxidant found in the liver

• Cilantro leaf extract

• Foot clay packs (put on a child s feet overnight) .

looking for assurances of

the highest level

of

purity.

Pesticides

Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides

all pesticides. Readily available in spray cans and crop dusters, household

RoundUp

atrazine, the two most widely-used pesticides in the

world, present chronic exposure risks such as cancer

and

Neuroglial and Neural Overload7°

The neuroglia are the most

abundant

cell types in the central nervous

system.

Their

purpose

is

to surround, support,

and

insulate the neurons

located between them. The glia

is

a supportive cell and does not conduct

electrical impulses, unlike the neuron.

71

Found in the gut as well as in

the brain, the glia contribute to

both

the blood-brain barrier and the gut

blood barrier, thus protecting the brain and bloodstream from toxins.

When d

ys

regulated, they play a role in inflammatory bowel disease, gut

permeability, auto-immune disease, and the gut dysbiosis (microbial dis

harmon

y)

which shows up in many children with ASD.

n Overheated Nervous System and Brain Inflammation

lial overload is a new concept referring to systematic metabolic degener

ation leading to a general overheating of the nervous system s neuroglial

cells in ASD and related conditions. (Note the similarity to the degen

eration found in homotoxicology and

TCM .

Glial overload refers to an

ongoing neuroinflammatory process that

is

damaging to the mitochondria

(cell powerhouses) in different regions

of

the brain and activates a special

type of glia known as the microglia. Microglia function as macrophages in

the brain and spinal cord (like little Pacmen that eat other cells) and thus

constitute the first and main form of active immune defense in the central

nervous system. So activating the microglia, the brain s main immune

defense cells, begins the process of autoimmunity in the brain which we are

calling Neural Autoimmune Miasm.

Leaky

because toxins can affect any cells. But what about genetic and epigenetic

In other words, autistic children have too

itochondrial

Damage

Miniscule organelles found inside each cell of the

human

body, the mito

chondria are the powerhouse

of the cell due to their importance in generat

ing energy from food constituents. They also possess every enzyme linked

to aerobic energy production. Since they regulate the continuous aerobic

oxidation of fatty acids or burning of fat that takes place during minimal

physical exertion, the mitochondria are crucial to metabolism. This aerobic

oxidation is an integral part of an individual

s

fundamental metabolic rate,

hence any increase in mitochondrial numbers enhances metabolism.

Metabolism can be likened to cooking, the conversion

of

one foodstuff

into another. One or more of the ingredients goes through a chemical

reaction and is thereby altered.

Thus our

bodies are our metabolic factories.

In alternating fashion a healthy body builds things up and breaks things

down, creating and then

up energy. Yet the

inflammation damages key parts of the cell, including the mitochondria.

In

particular, the mitochondrial energy function can shut down, causing

the lack

.7

6

On

the

other

hand, overstimulation from this excitotoxic cascade has

a powerful effect on the nervous system because glutamate

is

so widely

found in foods, as MS (monosodium glutamate) and other forms.

Glutamate receptors are synaptic receptors located primarily

on

the

membranes of neuronal cells. Glutamate (glutamic acid), abundant in

in

in

the

brain,

the body's

neurotransmitter, the brain's

main

excitatory neurotransmitter. t is also the precursor for GABA, the brain's

primary inhibitory neurotransmitter.7

Although the synergism of environmental and metabolic toxins can be

activation provides the pivot.

nda remedies

Unda

remedies (the name pertains

to

the undulation

of

energy) are

designed to optimize the body s innate abiliry to expel toxins and

waste ·products from the cells and excrete them from the body. Given

the extraordinary toxic burden carried by ASD individuals, the Unda

remedies - with their focus particularly

on

strengthening the drainage

functions

of

the liver, kidneys and lungs - possess indispensible value for

our ASD work. Dickson Thorn, one

of

the foremost teachers

of

drainage

therapy, compares the action

of the Unda remedies to washing

and

repair

ing walls prior

to

painting them.

If

you paint the wall before first cleaning

and patching it, the imperfect job will likely soon have to

be repeated.

Similarly, for lasting change to be established, function-impairing impu

rities are best removed first. In keeping with the washing aspect of the

metaphor, Unda remedy usage is best accompanied by ample hydration.

The

formulation

of

the Unda remedies is credited to doctors George

t ~ l m n t as many of

the following recommendations

as

possible:

82

• Dedicate a minimum of six months to the improvement of her diet

and lifestyle choices. During this time she should consume organi

and

lean sources ofprotein,

making sure to load up on Vitamin A-D-K-rich foods. Eating a bal

anced diet

is

key

If

appropriate

and

if

needed, a multivitamin/ mineral

supplement can be added to the regimen. This minimizes her risk of

miscarriage and other complications of pregnancy

and

delivery.

•

In

addition, reduce or eliminate white foods such

as

sugar, bread,

pasta, pizza, bagels; abjure processed foods and those containing

chemical preservatives. These are basically nutritionally deficient,

and

are known to cause systemic inflammation including gastrointestinal

problems.

• Act to address personal gastrointestinal conditions such as candida

(yeast) overgrowth, gluten intolerance, food allergies, bloating, con

stipation, and parasites.

The

strategy can include constitutional home

opathy, acupuncture, reduction in sugar consumption,

and

minimal

antibiotic reliance.

So as

to improve microfloral function: consump

tion of probiotics

and

fermented foods; a dietary or herbal regimen

for intestinal pathogens such as yeast

and

parasites; adding a source of

animal-based Omega-3s

is

essential; krill oil or a mercury-free source

of

are perhaps

many

known

and many

as-yet-undiscovered contrib

u t n ~

factors for autism. Environmental toxin exposure

is

one of those

possi Ple factors that tips the balance of health for some children who

might be more vulnerable due to genetic/epigenetic (miasmatic), or envi

ronmental and emotional traumas during pregnancy and delivery.

Inspiration

for

This

Method

In the summer of 2 9 I was fortunate to be the successor to a large

homeopathy practice

that had

a high percentage

of

children with autism.

In

that practice, the remedies for children

on

the spectrum were selected

based on the emotional stressors experienced by the mother during preg

nancy s well s the child s constitution and other mental and emotional

symptoms of the child at the time of consultation. This method was

very successful and restored full health to some children, and brought

much improvement to

many

others. Still, there were some children that

showed limited improvement s their progress with these well-selected

remedies would appear to have hit a block.

At this point I remembered the success

of

two earlier

c ses

where I had

addressed the Environmental Never Well Since, with remedies chosen

based on the toxins the child had been exposed to. These earlier c ses were:

• A child that had speech but suddenly lost it at ge 2. His speech was

restored after he was given the remedy for the environmental interven

tion that happened to him followed by a remedy the mother needed

during pregnancy.

• A child with

ADHD

whose focus

and

concentration were restored

with one remedy

and

she was performing well again s a successful

student, similar to her capacities before the regression set in at age 7.

The single remedy addressed the cause of the regression.



98 utism

eversal Toolbox

I wondered

if

the technique

of

removing the environmental burden first

would work for the children whose progress was blocked and I began

using this method.

After many months, I decided to do a study to see if the new method

was succ\ ssful now

that

it was applied to a larger group

of

children; and

if

there v ~ s improvement,

what

was the level

of

change

in

various areas

of development.

What follows has been extracted from

my

paper entitled

A

study of chil

dren

on

the autism spectrum

that

explores the results

of

giving homeo

pathic remedies. Twenty four children with the diagnosis

of

autism were

chosen at random from all the active autism cases in my practice. All the

children in the study were

born

neuro-typical and developed symptoms

of

autism later on. The findings show

that

for the approximately 12

month

duration

of

the study, on average, each child improved more than

57 in each of 24 measured categories.

The

method

in this study

that

I formulated

is

based on recognizing and

addressing the event or intervention that occurred just before the onset

of symptoms of autism, or the appearance of developmental regressions,

or the halting

of

normal developmental processes. Once this event

is

iso

lated, it can be addressed with homeopathic remedies.

Often

this layer

has to be removed before addressing other layers such

as

a layer that could

have been created in-utero.

happening

This method

can be effective in those cases as well.

The goal

of

his study is to see i children who have this diagnosis improve in any

areas

of development such

as

social interaction, communication, and general

behavior when homeopathic remedies are selected based

on

this method. It

~ is my overall approach in my practice with a new case. I will explain

; ~ i t e m

at length later in the chapter.

1

What is the personality type

and

what emotional state are they in now?

2. What is the remedy the child needs from what they experienced in-utero?

3.

What

are the genetic and epigenetic influences that have been passed

down to this child from parents

and

grandparents?

4.

What

are the Environmental Never Well Since (ENWS) events?

In my study, parents were asked

to

rate their children at the beginning and

end of the study based on the criteria that will be described below. Note that

the children s improvement was already well under way at the beginning

of

the study.

They

had already been given remedies for steps and 2 of the above

overall approach. The improvement in the study

is only

from addressing the

Environmental Never Well Since and the genetic influences (steps 3 and 4).

My

overall approach could consist

of

any

or

all

of

the 4 steps

but not

nec

essarily in any particular order. Each child will be started

with

a particular

step depending on the most

predominant

factor of his/her history and

the current presentation.

The improvement as rated by parents would have been substantially more

than 57 if the starting point were the children s state before ny remedy

in categories where their children needed help.

Below are the criteria parents used to rate their children for the duration of

the study, which was approximately 12 months.

eneral uidelines for choosing homeopathic remedies

Each child is different

and

may not need all of these steps or necessarily

need them in the stated order below.

1 When

identifiable, a homeopathic remedy able to address the

inner

working of a child s emotional state

is

the clear first choice. For

example, where the child

is

discerned to be a developmentally delayed

Calc. Carb. child, Baryta Carb. would typically be tried first.

2. Look at the ·emotional remedy the mother needed when she was preg

nant. t could be that the remedy in item above

is

the same

as

this

remedy.

~ L o o

for the specific remedy for the current active miasm

of

the child.

er the improvement from this remedy reaches a plateau, examine

e family history

and

give additional miasmatic remedies

if

needed.

Also, if you give the specific remedy for the sycotic miasm, follow that

immediately with the remedy Thuja. [Certain remedy names are not

specified here because this method requires professional supervision.]

4. Move to the

ENWS

plan in order to neutralize external

factors . Influences most

commonly

cited by parents include:

• Medical intervention in-utero. A tautopathic remedy can be given

here.

The

term tautopathy

is

derived from the Greek word

TauT6v

tauton) meaning the same, identical . It refers to neutralizing a dis

order caused by a drug or toxic agent with a homeopathic prepara

tion of same substance.

• Trauma

and

medical intervention during labor

and

delivery.

Note

:

in cases where children have been

born

with the cord

around

their

neck

or

after prolonged delivery, Carbo Veg.

is

often indicated.

• If any side effects of treatment with medications, during pregnancy

or childhood, are reported by the parents, use the specific remedy for

the sycotic miasm, plus Thuja;

if

these remedies have already been

given, then give the tautopathic remedy.

Other considerations when choosing the

ENWS

remedy:

1

etermine

the approximate time of regression and the most recent

traumatic blow to the child s vital force. Each such correlation rep

resents a layer in the child s case.

Once

a layer

is

cleared

and

further



102 utism

eversal

Toolbox

improvement

is

no longer obtained, move to the next event in reverse

chronological order, applying remedies for

that

event.

If

at the time

of

the

ENWS

there exists a single significant acute

symptom, select the remedy related to that symptom.

2. When parents report that the child was born typical and

that

there

were no acute symptoms and regression

cannot

be tied to a particular

event, start by giving the sycotic-specific remedy followed byThuja.

3. The specific remedies for the syphilitic

and

cancer miasms are import

ant. The specific remedy for the syphilitic miasm would be helpful

if

this

miasm is present in the history or

if

the child is particularly aggressive

and

violent.

The

specific remedy for the cancer miasm works very well

for mild-mannered children who are concerned about whether their

parents love them, or if they need constant reassurance that they are not

doing anyth g wrong and that parents are not angry with them.

4. For a ch· d needing an emotional remedy such as Lycopodium,

Pulsatil or Baryta Carb., once cognitive and emotional maturity

improvements reach a plateau these same remedies can continue to

keep the child emotionally balanced. These remedies can be given as

needed based on the emotional state even

as

new ENWS remedies

are introduced. In such cases, the ENWS remedy is the main chronic

remedy and the emotiQnal remedy

is

given when the child displays

specific behaviors or emotions that have responded well to their emo

tional remedy before.

5. At the time of this writing, the remedies

that

bring the most results in

the ENWS stage generally are: the specific remedy for the sycotic and

cancer miasms,

Thuja

and

Silica.

osology

1 Potency and dosage are selected on the assumption that the child is

hypersensitive.

2. In most cases,

30C

potency is used first. The remedy bottle is made

with two pellets

of

the remedy diluted in 8 oz

of

water. A test dose is

given first, consisting

of

2 drops diluted into a 6 oz cup

of

water, stir

the cup and give 2 drops from the cup to the child. No succussion

is indicated for this test dose. Following a three-day waiting period,




parental feedback is elicited.

If

an aggravation

with

the test dose is

reported the dilution cup is increased in size in proportion to the

intensity

and/or

length

of

the aggravation.

If

aggravation persists in

spite

of

increasing the water in the dilution cup we may need to

dilute in 2 or more cups. For example a more diluted dose could be

2 drops from the bottle into a first 5 oz cup stir put

2 drops from the

first cup into a second 5 oz cup stir and give 2 drops to child.

3. The recommendation to parents is

that

if the aggravation lasts for

more than

half

a day they should give the same remedy in a 6C

potency in order to reduce aggravation: two pellets of 6C remedy

in

an 8 oz bottle

of

water

Y .

tsp from the bottle given directly.

If

the aggravation is mild or short lived no deviation from the

30C

is

necessary. Skin rashes

on

the face or buttocks are seen to be the most

common

reactions although other skin rashes or white spots may

appear

on

the body as well

with

fever and symptoms of ear infec

tion following. Mucus discharges from the nose and

in

the stool are

A

wed

as

detoxification so generally it is not necessary to give an acute

medy.

Be

sure to ask parents to consult with their medical doctor if

mptoms

arise indicating a potentially dangerous condition.

4. When a child reacts

with

aggressive behavior following a tautopathic

remedy

then

a lower potency is subsequently selected or else the

next dose is further diluted. In certain cases increased anger is also

a healthful response for children

as

awareness begins to expand with

emotional growth. In

other words increased anger should

not

auto

matically be taken as

an unwelcome aggravation.

5.

The

specific remedy for the sycotic miasm

is

given before

Thuja

in

most cases though the two remedies can also alternate. When

Thuja

is

working well do not give the sycotic-specific remedy. Wait until there

is no more improvement with

Thuja

even as you go up in potency.

6. Where positive response to a remedy in the 30C potency lags go to

an LMl potency. Children sensitive to the 30C potency generally

do

not

do well on the

200C

When a child aggravates readily on a

30C

dose

LM

1 works better as the next potency. Be sure to

add at

least one more dilution cup to the

30C

dose when going from 30C

to LM 1 For example if the

30C

dose

is

2 drops in a 6 oz cup and 2



104 utism

eve

r

sal

Toolbox

drops from the cup, the test dose

of

the

LM

potency should be 2

drops in a 6 oz cup, then 2 drops from that into a second 6 oz cup

and

2 drops

is

given

to

the child from the second 6 oz cup.

7. Give the remedy for the event having caused the most recent regres

sion and then work your way backwards

to

the earliest reaction to

injurious events.

8 Once you find a dose that works well, make a note

of

it and use it for

other remedies for this particular child. Aggravations are challenging

for families

and

we want to avoid them as much as possible. If 6C

does not work

to

reduce aggravation, advise introduction

of

anti

doting substances such

as

mint, coffee, Vicks VapoRub or a remedy

with an antidotal relation

to

the specific remedy, for example, Ipecac

antidotes the sycotic-specific remedy.

9. Different remedies can also be tolerated at different potencies for the

same child. A child can do very well

on

a

114

tsp

of

Lycopodium into a

6 oz cup, and a

114

tsp from the cup, but then when taking an ENWS

tautopathic remedy, the child may only be able to handle 2 drops from

the second 4 oz cup.

10. Repeat remedies only

as

needed, explaining to parents exactly what

you mean by

reeded :

Ask

them

to pick a behavior or a problem

that the ~ e m d y you are giving addresses for example, the child has

had probj,dns sleeping and sleeps better

on

the remedy) . Then when

the child begins to exhibit the behavior or the problem starts to appear

again e.g. sleep deteriorates), repeat the dose. At some point when

that behavior does not come back, then let the parents know the

baseline has improved and they need to look for new improvements

when deciding whether to repeat the remedy.

Preparatory Self Help Program for Parents

1. Avoid environmental factors as much as possible in order to protect

children with genetic susceptibility. Give your child the best nutri

tion available, i.e. , organic

nutrition

, while avoiding packaged foods.

By doing this you will prevent an increase of further toxicity with

heavy metals, pesticides, flavor enhancers like MSG color addi

tives,

GMOs

preservatives

and

other waste products.

what-parents-can-do-themselves/the-specific-carbohydrate-diet/.)

2.

If yo ur

child can tolerate gluten,

use

sourdough bread instead of yeast

bread so as to prevent the binding ofzinc and magnesium to an insoluble

complex with phytine acid. Sourdough bread enables the assimilation of

nutritional zinc and magnesium. Since whole wheat sourdough bread

is often very

heavy,

starting with lighter sourdough bread is a preferred

option. We recommend baking your own sourdough bread as the process

of

developing your own sourdough starter carries several benefits:

a)

it

is

a

sensuous, uncomplicated but educational process that connects you with

your food; b) when working from scratch you ensure maximal control

over ingredient purity; and c) the yeasts you invite into the making

and

continuous feeding ofyour own starter from water and flour) are highly

local. Their presence in your sourdough bread will serve to ground your

child in the local ecology and the earth itself Instructions abound and the

process takes about a week.

3. Give your child enough pure water witho

ut

copper, chloride, fluoride,

pharmaceuticals

and

other toxins.

4. Avoid the use of the microwave for all food

and

drinks,

and

avoid

plastic containers and packages.

8 Provide a healthy sleeping environment for your child. Avoid using

baby monitors and minimize cordless phones and cell phones, they

give a very strong radiation field. A dark room

9. Avoid antibiotics since they impair intestinal flora and consequently

increase underlying problems. In case of infection, opt for naturo

pathic solutions Unda number 37, for example) . In

case

medical

treatment is necessary for your child, try to find energetic solutions

such

as

homeopathy that boost the immune system, instead

of

symp

tomatic treatments that are suppressive. If your child

is

apparently

not

functioning well on the mental, emotional or physical level, e.g.

has a chronic runny nose or repeated other infections,

is

easily tired,

cross, has bad appetite and

is

not sleeping well, do not wait until he

gets sick and needs another course ofantibiotics, but have him treated

preventively by natural medicine.

If

you suppress symptoms with

pharmaceuticals, the disturbed energy will remain, and sooner or later

it will cause the same or deeper health problems.

10. o

not

vaccinate your child any further; your son or daughter is

probably already in bad health because of the shots; do not add to

this but seek help

and

healing first.

dd nutrients to m ximize your child s

health:

11. Provide your child with omega-3 fatty acids, the highest and purest

quality available Tinus Smits would prescribe not more than 500

mg

a day). Avoid the overconsumption of omega-6 fatty acids from

soy

and

corn, which are mainly in packaged foods. Omega-3 fatty

acids are anti-inflammatory, omega-6 are pro-inflammatory. The

ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 would be 1:1,

but

our modern

diet averages 1:25.

12. Give the two different types of Vitamin C, water soluble and fat

soluble Both are available in tablets or capsules and as powder.

Gently and gradually increase the daily dose until the Vitamin C

stimulates diarrhea, then lower the dose a little bit until the diarrhea

disappears bowel tolerance dose). This protocol is completely safe.

Only patients with the rare condition hemochromatosis should




avoid extra vitamin C, because vitamin C stimulates iron absorp

tion.)

The general rule is

not

more than 1000 mg per year of age.

So a child four years old can be given

4 mg

a day divided into

three doses a

day.

That

means giving an ascorbate

of

1

OOOmg

and an

ascorbyl palmitate of 5 mg (3x 2 mg ofvitamin C), three times a

day.

That

makes 36 mg per day. For children 6 years and older the

maximum dose I advise is 6 grams a day which is generally enough

to attain our goal.

13. Give also extra zinc: up to age 4 give 10 mg, from age 4 to 8 give 20

mg, then 30 mg for older children. Because a zinc deficiency causes

lack of taste, supplementing zinc may help picky eaters.

Give your child at least three to four weeks of preparatory self-care and

nutritional supplementation (especially minerals, probiotics, ascorbyl

palmitate,

and

Omega-3s), nature play,

and

grounding/earthing prac

tice, while removing all gluten and casein-containing foods, all GMO

foods,

and

foods containing preservatives

and

additives.

This

will take

tremendous effort but it will be well worth it . You will see changes in

your child before you even begin professional homeopathic care.

You

will

most likely need this time to research possible homeopaths and to wait

for an appointment. Your homeopath will find it easier to work with

your child if these obstacles to the cure are already eliminated. In addi

tion, homeopaths generally ask that clients not start any other treatment

modality (including the diet and lifestyle steps outlined here) at the same

time

as

starting homeopathic care, because it can be difficult to tell which

therapy is causing any change that arises, making it difficult to assess the

effectiveness of the homeopathic protocol. This is another reason to start

right

away.

B wo month Unda number program

Workshop Methods: Preparatory Self-Help Program for Parents 125

Unda number

remedy protocols are

not

set

in

stone. Ideally the pre

scription is situation sensitive (which is why professionals need to study

and administer them). At the same time a useful and generally apt first

prescription aimed at beginning biotherapeutic drainage would be Unda

numbers 1, 2, and 20. This involves giving five drops of each remedy

three times a day according to the same restrictions governing ordinary

homeopathic prescribing. An example of an alternative combination, one

designed to address circulating toxicity would be Undas 2, 44,

and

48 .

Following an

Unda number

course

of

treatment, there should be a one

week period of no remedy given when an assessment

is

made. Adequate

hydration

throughout

the dosing period

is

important.

This

step can

safely be done by parents while arranging for an appointment with a

professional homeopath.

C. Second round program ofUnda remedies or Bowel Nosode prescription

Follow assessment

of

results

with

a second or even third

round of

Unda

remedies to be determined that targets other systems for drainage or

detox; or the indicated threshold remedy, constitutional remedy or bowel

nosode. (Russell Malcolm s bowel nosode protocol of 30C 200C and

1M

given every four hours only once is a solid version; good effects also

come from a daily

30X

dose). Two weeks following the administration

of

an accurately chosen bowel nosode to remedy

gut

dysbiosis, a constitu

tional remedy will be more effective).

D. Heavy metal detox via mineralization and

Unda

remedies; tautopathic

clearing via

the

four-potency detox method;

or

a strong toxic agent such as glyphosate is suspected, undertake

clearing according to the four-potency detox protocol below in con

junction

with

one

of

the kidney

and

liver supporting

Unda

number

combinations.

The

same idea holds in the event

of

an implicated co-in

fective agent factor. For example, if Lyme disease is suspected as having

compromised the Vital Force, consider clearing with the Borrelia nosode.

Alternately, after an effort has been made to saturate the child with minerals,

an

Unda

number combination to gently promote heavy metal elimination

can be undertaken. s it takes years to clear heavy metals, this step may be




interpolated at numerous stages of care. Recommended is interpolation of

the gemmo Sorbus Domestica reported to open the blood brain barrier

90

and the

Unda

combinations 2, 48 and 258. Detoxification specifically of

the brain can be addressed with the combinat ion 9, 47, and 48 with the

optional addition of202 . Remember that Seroyal offers a two-year brain

detox protocol.

Parents should expect the whole process to take several years

but

they will

see encouraging progress along the way Nosodes derived from medica

tions or vaccines are only used when they are justified by the symptoms,

not

just because they appear in the health history.

In

other

words, the

clearing

of certain vaccines may prove to be unnecessary.

he

four-potency detox protocol CEASE)

Dutch homeopath

Tinus Smits,

MD

developed a protocol for clearing

vaccines and medications, described in his book

Autism Beyond

Despair

His

method

uses vaccine

and

medication nosodes in four escalating

potencies of 30C, 200C, 1M, and 1OM. The gold standard is to have a

remedy made from the exact same medication or vaccine, meaning orig

inating from the correct country, lab, and corresponding the matching

manufacturer and lot number, although this is rarely possible.) The clear

ing begins with a 30c of the remedy made from the vaccine or medication

which caused the greatest damage, or if that is not clear, with the most

recent one.

The

remedy

is

given

in

a

30c

potency twice a week

as

long

as

the child

reacts to the remedy, at which the time the succeeding higher potency

dose can commence. This schedule

is

different from that given by Tinus

Smits

in Autism Beyond Despair

because we have found

that

automatically

increasing the potency every two weeks can cause severe aggravations.

Many CEASE practitioners, including myself, stay on each potency as

long

as

there is a response.

90 From notes from a lecture by Robert Abell, ND.



Workshop Methods: Preparatory Self-Help Program for Parents 127

The remedies can be given

as

dry pellets or in water. The four-potency

detox protocol includes the weekly administration

of

a soft focus

remedy, one that has a general affinity for the infant or childhood state

rather

than

being an exact constitutional match for the ASD individual.

Examples would include Oxytocin, Lac Maternum, Placenta, Vernix

Caseosa, Cuprum Cum Carcinosin and Saccharum Officinalis.

Other

remedies possessing existential relevance to early years or to the miasmati

cally carried trauma

of

a newborn would include Calc Carb, Anacardium,

Rhus Tox,

and

Hydrogenium. The Meditative Proving remedies also

serve well for this background prescribing purpose.

As

they are repeated

weekly (customarily on

Saturday when the detox remedies are

not

given)

the potency of choice is 30C. The only other remedies given

on

that day

would be 6X supports such as Saccharum Officinalis 6X to help heal

leaky gut, or cell salts for brain inflammation (the phosphorus-contain

ing cell salts commercially available

as

Hyland's Nerve Tonic) .

The protocol described in

Autism

eyond

Despair

is more aggressive.

Instead of staying at the 30c potency as long as it is giving results, the orig

inal protocol changes the potency every two weeks, starting with a 30C,

then 200C, then 1M, then

1 M

in an eight-week cycle. The daunting

aggravations in this method may require cycling more than once through

the potencies

of

a particularly harmful medication or vaccine

w

ith a rec

ommended two week break between cycles). Surprisingly, very good results

can be obtained with this potency in many situations. This aggressive pre

scribing may work better for

Dutch

children, who may be sturdier due to

their healthier lifestyle: they receive fewer vaccinations and medications, eat

mor

e organic food, and spend more time riding bikes and pla

yi

ng outside

in nature than American children. American children, who tend to be

mor

e

sickly, see

m to suffer worse aggravations.

While many homeopaths have been taught to induce an aggravation

(only for

their

benefit,

as

it confirms the remedy,

less

so for the benefit

of

the client),

Hahnemann

toward the end

of

his life tried his best to avoid

aggravations.

In

particular aggravations can be disturbing, discouraging



128

utism Re

versal oolbox

or

even harmful with ASD clients, for example with a child who

is

violent

towards a younger sibling. Therefore the four-potency detox method can

be made gentler by starting with a

6C

and using it

not

just for two weeks

but

for

as

long

as

it gives improvement. The next potency could even be

a

12C

instead

of

a 30C.

This method could still give good results while still being gentler

on

the

family. I have not tried this method personally as I have not found the

need for it, although it makes sense

as

a good way to protect a hypersen

sitive child. Therefore neophyte prescribers in particular would do well

to start with a low 6c potency. There

is

no harm, only the possible delay

of

a few weeks if the child does

not

improve

on

6C.

In fact my ASD clients do aggravate

on

a 3 C potency but I am able to

manage the aggravations with remedies and with extensive time spent on

the phone handholding and supporting the parents through the crisis.

Here are some ways an aggravation can be managed

as part of

this detox

In the event that we wish to create movement in the case, have gained

choose to interpolate a soft focus remedy: perhaps an Imponderable

remedy such as Sol Brittanica, a Meditative Proving remedy such as Rose

Quartz, a Gem Essence remedy such

as

Diamond, or a sarcode such

as

Hippocampus or Fibroblast Growth Factor. A remedy reflective

of

the

of

a substance such

as

glyphosate or

may be sim

ilarly employed.

hypotonia and developmental delay and deficient motor coordination.

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF2) Fibroblast growth factors are derived

from molecules used by neurons to communicate with one another.

In

normal amounts they promote visual acuity and vision repair. When in

excess (as in neural overload) cellular signaling breaks down, as in Stage

atrum luorica Alumina is the compound of aluminum found in the

brains

of

Alzheimer s disease.

The

solubility

of

aluminum and probably

the ease with which it

is

absorbed varies markedly with the high acidity

and alkalinity ofwater. In general, however, aluminum is most soluble in

acidic water, especially if it contains fluorides. This matters because the

blood brain barrier preventing metals reaching the brain can be breached

via the relationship between fluoride and aluminum.

91

Alumina

is

envi

ronmentally prevalent due to its outsized and unwarranted deposition

in American drinking water. Natrum fluor, up to now prescribed mostly

for twitching

is

thus likely underused. Its will-depleting action upon the

central nervous system

that

weakens brain

and

spinal cord function

92

suggests the remedy s candidacy

as

an ASD threshold remedy.

91 As demonstrated in 2013 by Akinrinade ID and his colleagues from Bingham Uni

versity in Nigeria. Fluoride combines with aluminum to form aluminum fluoride (to

my

knowledge not yet been proven

as

a remedy) which

is

then absorbed

by

the

body

where

it eventually combines with oxygen to form aluminum oxide

or

alumina. http://fluoride

CASE

Pervasive Developmental Delay PDD)

While the range

of

intelligence in children with Pervasive Developmental

Delay can vary widely, PDD presents a wide range of communication

problems including:

Conversational deficits, speaking

and

understanding;

Lack of eye contact, inadequate pointing behavior, and under-expressive

facial response;

Unusual play with toys and other objects;

Difficulty with situational transitions;

Stimming repetitive

or

peculiar body movement

s

such as hand flapping, hair

twirling, foot tapping, or more intricate movements;

Aversion to consolation or cuddling.

12/29/2009:

A male child, age 2 from Northeastern Mrica. Diagnosed

PDD NOS

in

May of2009. Subsequent diagnoses include hypotonia.

The

boy has a sister, two years older. Fine, sensitive features , large fore

head.

In

the office keeps saying, Mommy, mommy. Sits on the floor with

feet behind him very loose-jointedly.

The

mother reports that he does a lot

of

hand

wringing

and

humming.

He seems not to follow other children in play, maybe because he

is

tired.

159




Prior to being

put

on a gluten-free diet was non-verbal, did

not

under

stand any directions and constantly

running

about, liking to wave a stick.

His fine motor skills were very poor. Could

not

do a jigsaw puzzle.....

would spin the piece .... have trouble

putting

the piece in place. Used

to have offensive and mushy bowel movements. This is now only occa

sional. Used to hide under a table when a little over a year old, when a

cousin would scream.

When

reprimanded he would laugh.

That

too has

improved.

Only

now, gross motor skills delayed. Cannot jump.

Beginning to repeat what others say (echolalia)

but

also imitates and show

interest in others, such

as

his sister. Has a good memory for details and

appears to be mechanically oriented like his father. Still p r f r ~ to play

alone. Can get spaced out and stare into space. Has to be called several

times before one gets a response. Generally sweet-natured, but also lethar

gic

Easily angered

if

told No or transitioned from a preferred activity. Will

begin sucking on two fingers. Poor self-help skills as in pulling up his pants.

A major family issue is his sensitivity to food textures: chicken has to be

ground

up.

He

prefers a texture

not

hard to chew. Smells food before

tasting it, also must touch it to determine its texture.

BIRTH: Born normal with good Apgars though also jaundiced. Began

breast feeding immediately, even before cord was cut.

ENVIRONMENT L FACTORS:

Mother

was positive for Strep and

so

was given antibiotics one hour before birth.

Child was

very active

but

began sleeping a lot after the Hep B vaccine.

At age one: became terribly picky eater following

MMR

vaccination.

Huge

bacterial and yeast overgrowth

as

per urine test for which he is

currently taking Diflucan.

Found

to have zinc deficiency,

but

when zinc supplementation was

prescribed the child became aggressive.

PARENTS: Well-educated professionals who

had

read Amy Lansky s

book

Impossible ure

prior to contacting me.

FATHER: mechanically oriented, as a child much affected by a beloved

nanny s leaving the family.

MOTHER: When

pregnant 6 months while traveling to London with

the little girl, the girl became ill and then the mother became upset and

panicky. Also reports that mitochondrial problems run in her side of the

family.

ASSESSMENT: Especially given the child

s

being born jaundiced, his

treatment with Diflucan (a powerful anti-fungal drug carrying risk to the

liver)

is

worrisome. In fact, were he no longer taking this drug and were I

seeing this child for the first time today my first choice might be to initiate

a Diflucan clear. At the time I instead opted to informally request that

the family to explore ceasing the Diflucan. I also prescribed Zincum. This

was in consideration of the remedy's connecting the dots for me between

the child's:

•

•

•

•

•

Echolalia

Defective vitality

Hypersensitivity

Less humming and hand wringing these past few days. Low muscle tone

remains evident. Very rarely now the echolalia, although occasionally

a kind of nonsense speech. Parents have placed his fingers in a plastic

restraint so as to control his fiddling.

Has acquired a strong interest in the tongues ofany animal he

about. His

eye

for minute detail

is

increasingly in evidence, noticing small

things that his mother does not. Becoming more decisive with regard to

choosing among foods to eat or toys to play with. Increasing evidence

of

having a powerfully strong memory. Drawn to books about polar bears.

Still a very picky eater, but not sensitive to the temperature of food.

Not

as alert as other children; still emotionally under-expressive. Cries

easily and remains intolerant of refusal.

ASSESSMENT:

When

a remedy

is

effective

my

preferred

method

is

to

choose among the complementary remedies and those that "follow well"

(for example by consulting Abdul Rehman

**

from bib). Here, where

enhanced consolidation of energy was evident and the Diflucan could be

stopped with no ill effect, Zincum's complement Calc Phos appeared a

solid follow-up choice in regard to:

Looseness

ASSESSMENT: A huge shift in response to the Calc Phos: the child's

malnourishment pattern is no longer in evidence. Instead, as per the

heightened impatience, anxiety, raging appetite with no weight gain, a

remedy following well after Calc Phos suggests itself:

In advance of this follow-up I received from the mother, the following

letter:

I would like to let you know how Horace (not his real name) is doing

after the last remedy.

the good side, he's interacting more with kids

and

adults, says hi

spontaneously

and

most

of

all he attended his cousin's birthday party

and

wanted to hit pinata. These things never happened before. He also

continues to be more energetic.

"The

drawback is that he is still very impatient and is screaming more

than

before whenever he wants food or other things he wants to get.

He is still constantly requesting for food.

He

also wants

to

spend his time with me, he wants

me

to hold

and

We did some tests a while back to check his bacterial

and

yeast levels.

I checked with his DAN doctor

s

and

they told me his bacterial

levels are higher

they prescribed an antibiotic called Gentamicin

SILICA 200

Several weeks into the remedy the family reported a general relaxation in

the child and stated that in their opinion, further treatment at the time

was not warranted.

In my practice, I always

go

by the family s judgment. Families do not

want to give up the ASD diagnosis because they will may lose special

support and accommodations,

so

they decide privately that the child is

better

but

they do

not

request that healthcare professionals change the

diagnosis.

tate) is often prescribed to reach the brain which is largely composed offats).

Vitamin C also seems to play an essential role in protecting children against

the adverse effects of vaccinations or other stress inducing events. The

Australian doctor Dr. Archie Kalokerinos witnessed a double increase in

child mortality among Aboriginals after vaccination campaigns. Human

beings are unable to produce vitamin C themselves like other mammals

do

and

therefore completely depend

on

vitamin C intake.

advises against vaccinating children who are sick or not yet fully recovered.

When Dr. Kalokerinos started giving vitamin C to Aboriginal children,

he was able to reduce child mortality, at the time at about

50 , to prac

tically zero.

Thus vitamin C can be used

as

a preventive measure

and

can

play an important part in curing it as well, more specifically ascorbyl pal

mitate which plays an essential part in

our

treatment protocol for autistic

children.

Additionally, Vitamin C

is

known to have the following effects

on

the

human body, which could be very relevant for autistic children:

• Neutralizes harmful oxidants (oxidative stress) such

as

hydroxyl radical

OH-) and regenerates Vitamin E for reuse.

• Renders ascorbate radicals relatively harmless because they are neither

highly oxidative nor reductive and are easily recycled into active ascor

bates by enzyme systems using NADH or NADPH.

• Stimulates the excretion

of

copper and thus aids in the reduction of

stress. ll autistic children prove to have elevated copper levels

• Aids and promotes the enzyme that transforms dopamine into norepi

nephrine (noradrenalin). This is a necessary step in the adrenal cate

cholamine metabolism and it precedes methylation steps that balance

out

catecholamine levels.

• Aids and promotes the enzyme in tyrosine metabolism that transforms

hydroxyphenylpyruvate to homogentisic acid.

•

Is

required for the formation

of

L-carnitin, which

is

necessary within

the cell for normal use

of

fats for energy).

• Aids folic acid metabolism by transforming folic acid into folin acid.

• Helps constipated children by making the stool less hard and stimulat

ing the intestine; too high a dose may cause diarrhea.

Fatty cids - Polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3

and

omega-6 fatty

acids) play a crucial role in the formation and functioning of the brain.

But omega-6 fatty acids can be harmful in excess,

and

the current

American diet has much too high a level

of

omega-6 fatty acids compared

to omega-3 (about 25:1 or even 50:1, should be about

1:1 .

Therefore

most people only need to supplement omega-3 fatty acids.

Scientific research in recent years has revealed that an unsaturated fatty

acid deficiency HUFA) or a disturbed balance

of

these fatty acids may

play an important role in behavioral disorders, learning problems, dys

lexia and autistic spectrum disorders. These fatty acids omega-3

and

omega-6) are found in fish, flaxseed oil, certain nuts

and

to a lesser extent

in leafY greens. They are essential in the normal development of the

brain as well as in

our

mental

and

emotional health. Pregnant women

should take omega-3 supplements and children under three years

of

age

also require large amounts

of

omega-3 fatty acids EPA and

DHA

for a

healthy development of their brain. Additionally, research has shown

that

the administration

of

omega-3 fatty acids leads to better results than the

omega-6 fatty acids, plus the fact that especially EPA rather than

DHA

gives favorable results. For this reason various omega-3 fatty acid supple

ments have been marketed containing an EP IDHA ratio

of

at least 4:

1.

The

standard fish oil contains a 3:2 ratio.

According to Dr. Alex Richardson, indications of an omega-3 fatty acid

deficiency include:

1. Excessive thirst, frequent urination, rough or dry skin,

dry

lusterless

hair, dandruff and soft brittle nails.

2. Allergic propensity: eczema, asthma, hay

fever

etc.

3. Visual symptoms such as poor night vision, hypersensitivity to light

and

reading disorders such as dancing letters.

4. Attention disorders: quick distraction, poor concentration

and

memory disorders.

5. Emotional hypersensitivity: in particular depression tendencies,

intense mood swings and excessive fears.

6. Sleeping problems: in particular being unable to wind down at night

and having difficulty waking up in the morning.

Vegetarian sources ofomega-3 fatty acids such as flaxseed oil only contain

ALA alpha-linoleic acid)

that

is not always properly metabolized into

EPA and DHA. For this reason direct supplementation of EPA/DHA in

the form

of

fish oil

is

preferred. Research has shown that the ideal EPA

intake is about 500mg/day but some people require even more.

In children, 20% of the brain consists ofDHA. EPA plays an essential part

in the short term regulation ofbrain functions such

immune function and the bloodstream. EPA is equally important in reducing

infections, for instance in the digestive tract. Both fatty acids are indispensable

for all cell membranes since they regulate the nourishment

Zinc t is

often said, No zinc, no think. Zinc

a critically important

nutrient, enhancing cognitive function via its role in protecting neurotrans

mitters. Oral zinc supplements are available in various forms: citrate,

chelate, picolinate, gluconate, and aspartate, also as tablets and liquid. The

most digestible form for your child

is

the one that should be chosen.

Flower Essences

These help to calm emotional issues

they arise, after a constitutional

remedy or while doing the four-potency detox protocol, or while search

Within

to

Kidney function in its broadest sense. In the autism pathology modeling

indicating that the core theme of

best articu

s

a deeply rooted tension between Entropy and Consolidation.

A portion of the argument can be stated

s

follows: In addition to inher

itance, the Kidneys are known

to

rule over both water

and

the bones.

What

can such apparently opposite substances, one being soft, the other

hard, have in common? From the perspective

of

the Hearing Dimension

epithelial moisture, mucosal viscosity, and bone are seen to lie on

one

and

the same continuum: They each serve

to

provide boundaries between

tissue, of which some are clearly more forgiving than others. We find

ourselves closest to entropy at the softest, most permeable end of the

boundary

, and most distant at the least permeable, most consolidated,

osseous end of the spectrum.

Without boundaries

to

organize and rein in substance, there results the

free-falling, outward movement of entropy. Genetic inheritance can be

understood

s

a consolidation of information necessary to ward

off

the

entropic threat of extinction. Wider acceptance ofa perspective according

to which life and death concerns greater or lesser degrees of organization

recommends itself

This

is more cheering than the view that our life is but

Will and the Soul

Reintroducing Emanuel Swedenborg

Swedenborg in his day (born in 1688, died in 1772) was widely and

justifiably acclaimed. Blessed with far ranging intelligence, curiosity, and

a desire to be useful, given limitless energy, birth into a family steeped

in theology

and

eventually deemed worthy

of

receiving a noble tide,

Swedenborg s gifts enabled

him

to become,

as

the psychologist, Wilson

Van Dusen puts it, perhaps, the last man alive whose knowledge encom

passed all that was known. Although Swedenborg s principle job was as

mines inspector for the government of Sweden, by the time he reached

the age of sixty-one he had compiled 154 works in some seventeen sci

ences, some ofwhich, like crystallography, he himself, founded.

Swedenborg s insights issue from rigorous engagement with the

hypnogic

state. Long before the advent

of

modern

psychology or the discovery

of hypnotherapy, Swedenborg, by means of personal experimentation

and comprehensive documentation, pioneered the investigation of a psy

choactive state that lies between wakefulness and sleep. His method of

investigation, involving commitment to uncover the nature of a spiritual

conflict underlying a medical condition requires a mode

of

disciplined

introspection that is consistent with the eidetic reduction a means of

investigation propagated within a legitimate twentieth century philo

sophical tradition known as Phenomenology.

Sweden borg s signature dictum refers to the provenance of Heaven with

regard to human affairs and vice versa:

As

above

so below has

not

ceased

to lend comfort and support to the high potentist tradition within

homeopathy,

and

advocated by its greatest exponent, James Tyler Kent.

he fact that Swedenborg has long,

and

appropriately, been revered

as

homeopathy s spiritual godfather provides an additional reason why his

ideas remain up to date with current issues.

190



Appendix IV: Reintroducing Emanuel Swedenborg 9

Unbeknownst to himself, Swedenborg's experience of encountering a

Godhead possessing the shape of

a

human

body (and that he names

The

Great

Man

has a parallel

not

only in the

Hindu

system,

but

also in the

Judaic teaching of the heavenly Sephirot. It must also be said that although

his precepts and terminology allude entirely to a Christian theology frame

of reference, Swedenborg narrowly eluded excommunication for their

variance from conventional religion. His teaching have long resonated

with those of sages within

Hindu

Buddhist and other spiritual traditions.

Our notions

of

what constitutes a healthy child or

human

being are only

be enriched by exploring his writings, excerpts

of

which appear

without

comment

following this discussion. Ideas we ~ y meditate on in relation

to the emergence of autism include:

• The spirit is composed of understanding

and

willing Unde

rstanding

concerns the ability to recognize the identity between truth and the

sacred.

Willing

relates

to

the quality ofwhat an individual in her heart

ofhearts most loves. Together, these two functions define all that needs

to be known about a

human

being's

interiors.

• Swedenborg's perspective on love wherein he points out that although

people think they know what love

is

and use the word in numerous con-

texts to describe, for example, marital, community or political allegiance,

they fail to recognize that

love is

the very foundation of the will. For

Swedenborg love is essentially a physiological as well as spiritual force.

• The significance of conjugal union culminating his statement that

marriages are the seminary of the human race .

• Procreation

is

a matter

of

regeneration

and

purification:

The

spiritual

entities responsible for the work

of

purification taking place in The

Great Man's Kidneys possess a demeanor

and

certitude one usually

associates with judges.

As

we saw earlier, the Kidneys pertain to the

Dimension

o

Hearing

(or

water

Element whose underlying issue can

be stated as an opposition between Entropy and Consolidation. The

firmed up and consolidated opinions of these purifYing entities is con-

sistent with the

Dimension

o

Hearing

theme.

• A newborn child

is

the receptacle of innocence. A weighty judgment

attends decisions concerning what information

and

which influences




gained in a lifetime imprint

onto

the

Kidney Yang

so

as

to form the

genetic legacy. We

know

that in

TCM

theory, the ears not only are the

orifice closely associated with the

Kidneys

but

also have the outward

shape ofa homunculus, a fetus. Moreover, insofar

as

the small human

represented in the auricle happens to be a powerful symbol

of

purity,

a small child, Swedenborg's observations concerning hearing are sup

ported by traditional Chinese theory:

The

portion of the brain which is the seat of the conscious reception

of

sounds through the ear

lies

quite near, in what

is

called the superior

tempera-sphenoidal convolution. But an important part of the audi

tory nerve goes direct

to

the cerebellum, which

is

the seat

of

the affec

tions of the life, and of involuntary motion, and there has a tendency

to produce immediate impulsive action in response to its impulses.

Conception equals the proliferation and protection of truth. Like Kidney

Yang

Truth is a masculine entity. According to Sweden borg, The seed of

man is

conceived interiorly in the understanding,

and

is formed in the

will,

and

thence

is

transferred into the vesicle, where it puts

on

a natural

covering; and so it is carried on into the womb, and enters the world.

sAbove o Below and ice ersa

If

one's goal is

to

invite the blessed event of a newborn child swathed in

heavenly innocence, then it

is

perhaps best to heed the Swedenborgian

maxim,

As

above, so below . Prospective parents are thus advised

to

prepare themselves by maintaining innocence

as

a state of mind and

as

pure a bodily state

as

can be managed.

This

amounts to

committing

to a

healthful diet, but also to truthfulness, purity of spirit, and graciousness

toward all of God's creations.

At

the same time the newborn coming

to

earth has its own agenda

to

fulfill, one that may

not

entirely reflect wishes, hopes

and

dreams

of

his

or her parents.

The

inherent will and purpose of a child, or any adult

for that matter, reflects what has consolidated within the Kidney

Yang.

The child's soul comes into incarnation having chosen certain challenges,

including the susceptibility to illness,

as

tasks to be worked through in



Appendix IV: Reintroducing Emanuel Swedenborg 193

this lifetime. As parents, we are unlikely fully to embrace our newborn

s

challenges. We naturally see

our

children

as

the extension

of

ourselves,

and

it can be difficult to imagine

that our

child has chosen its own chal-

lenges to

work

through.

Yet as our

discussion of Swedenborg has shown,

once the will

is

understood

as bound

up with that which nourishes our

soul it can be defined

as

love

Apart from celebrations attending royal births, the arrival of a newborn

is

a private event, relevant mainly to members of the immediate family and

close friends. According to Swedenborg,

and in

accordance with the rule

of

reciprocity between heaven

and

earth this

is

not

entirely so. Whenever

there

is

a deficiency in any place

as

to the quality or quantity of corre-

spondence, a supply (may) be instantly made from another (location)

to

fill up the deficiency, so that the proportion may be preserved, and thus

heaven be kept in due consistence. hus according

to

Swedenborg, the

quality

and

talents of children

born

at any particular time reflects heav-

en's reciprocal sense of need in regard to

earthbound

problems, creating a

sense of uses to be done.



Relevant oncepts from Emanuel Swedenborg

Marriages are the seminaries o he whole human race

Swedenborg's discussion of sex, marriage

and

procreation, conducted

strictly in terms of their manifesting heavenly activities, will

sound

shock

ing to the

modern

ear.

It

is

nonetheless, impossible to miss the central

importance attached to conjugal

union

in marriage, which

in

addition to

representing the joining of

man and

woman, denotes sacred conjoinings,

in general. These may include

Truth

with Goodness, or the ideal

of

the

church

s

wedded

t

its spiritual head.

Swedenborg reveals

that

there are heavenly societies to which correspond

all and each of the members and organs allotted to generation in each

sex,

and that

the reason those societies are heavenly is because marriage

love

is

the fundamental love of all loves for marriages are

the seminaries

o

he

whole

human

race

Heavenly marriages beget

no

separate

hum

an beings, according

t

Swedenborg. Instead, there

is

the multiplication

of

spiritual affections

and perceptions

in

the minds of the partners. Earthly reproduction

includes both spiritual and natural reproduction (prolification). Spiritual

prolification consists of the wife's acceptance of the soul of her

husband

and

cherishing it within herself,

and

within him. Natural prolification

consists of the acceptance, cherishing and nourishment of

her

husband's

soul within the ovum, from conception up until birth.

Swedenborg's remarks concerning marriage reflect personal experiences

during trance-state visits to Heaven

and

resist conversion into hard

and

fast doctrine. For example, his observation

that

conjugal pairs, or soul

mates are, in fact created has no ready significance for doctrine. His

observation

that

successful partners

attune

their priorities

t

eternal

s

opposed to temporal values reflec

ts

his general understanding (but also a

trance encounter with a heavenly couple who lost

and

then regained this

orientation).

194



Appendix

IV

Reintroducing Emanuel Swedenborg 195

Due to operating within an established context of Christian theology,

living

in

accordance

with

eternal values certainly means avoidance of sin,

but

the parameters

of

sinfulness can vary with the nature

of

an individ-

ual's interiors. Swedenborg can sound surprisingly modern when for

example, insisting that our activities ought to reflect our heart's desire,

or when emphasizing that no individual

is

in a position to judge the

legitimacy of another's conjugal state.

Swedenborg, who asserts

that

all angels at one time were

human

beings,

says that among angels, They who have loved infants most tenderly, as

mothers who do so, are in the province

of

the womb,

and

of

the organs

round about,

and

of the ovaries; and they who are there, are in the sweet-

est and

most

delightful life, and in heavenly joy above others .

irth s Regeneration

For Swedenborg or the angels who inform

him

so, procreation, in addi-

tion to 'concerning the reception ofnew life from

God

is a matter of spiri-

tual regeneration Thus, its central focus is purification from evil.

This

is

why within

The

Great Man, the genitals, situated on a low lying plane

between the bladder

and

the rectum (organs related to excretion), form

a separate

and

distinct kingdom, According to

John

Worcester,

that

this

anatomical placement relates to a spiritual purpose is apparently alluded

to in Psalm 139, the lowest parts of the earth ...where Thou hast pos-

sessed my reins [kidneys]: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

We have already seen that the ears

and

hearing are associated with the

Kidneys Vision, on the

other

hand, works differently,

The optic nerves are cerebral nerves, having no direct communication

with the cerebellum.Theyminister therefore, primarily to the intelligence.

Therefore:

The things which enter by the sense of sight, enter into man's under-

standing and enlighten him ;

...

but the things which enter by the sense

of hearing, enter into the understanding and at the same time into the

will; wherefore by the hearing

is

signified perception and obedience.

(italics mine)

To the interiors of the ear belong those

who

have the sight

of

the

inner

hearing,

and

obey

what

its spirit there dictates,

and

express its

dictates fitly.

By possessing the quality of a dictate, information obtained via hearing

deprives one of the

option

to deny or argue oneself past

what is

perceived.

t

is

as

if

one hears within oneself the

commanding

voice

of

God.

Whether

choosing to ignore or carry

out

a dictate perceived in the

interiors

of the

ear, one's likeliest response to

such an encounter will be terror or

fear.

The location of the organs of generation within The Great Man is likened

to

a burnt offering made at an altar at the

door

of a tabernacle. Where

burnt offerings and sacrifices in general have always meant purification

from evil

and

falsehood, this action

is

traditionally performed on behalf

of those seeking enhanced fertility. Furthermore, because an altar offer-

ing, according to Swedenborg, represents

the

ivine

Good

as the warmth

from a fire is naturally good), while the

door

to a tabernacle represents

ivine

Truth (genuine doctrine) symbolism of the two conjoined rep-

resents goodness

and

truth,

or

heavenly marriage. The conjunction of

good and

truth

is regeneration, Swedenborg says, for the Lord

is

con-

tinually present with good

and truth

in every man,

but

he

is not

so

as

evils

and

Conception

Swedenborg indicates that

due to

the transcendent purity

and depth

of

their mystery, direct knowledge concerning the particulars of regenera-

tion were off limits to him.

According to Swedenborg, Truth in its purest state manifests

as

Love that

seeks to propagate itself While doing so, for the sake of its protection

and a modesty becoming

to

its exquisite vulnerability, Truth undergoes a

of clothings. During

conception, a reciprocal tri-fold series

of

unclothings occur within the

womb

that allow a merger

ofTruth and

Goodness

to

occur.

Like Kidney Yang Truth

is

a masculine entity. According to Swedenborg,

The seed of man

is

conceived interiorly in the understanding, and

is

formed in the will, and thence is transferred into the vesicle, where it puts

on a natural covering; and so it

is

carried on into the womb, and enters

ivinely Protected

It is

natural to experience a sense

of

awe

and

joy when encountering

a newborn. While we may

not

need Swedenborg to tell us that babies

come straight from God, his descriptions flesh out the route for us. The

province

of

the organs

regeneration are a separate kingdom populated

only

by the wisest

and

the best

of

the angels .

t is

a kingdom more replete

with the consciousness

of

divine innocence than anywhere else,

as

a result

ofwhich, the purity of angelic innocence serves to super-conduct divine

presence. Thus, the beneficial influence of

all

the heavens is brought to

bear upon a new soul, providing it with maximum protection.

The Receptacle o Innocence

Each of us starts out

as

an extraordinarily wise innocent. Like Kidney

Essence the wisdom

of

innocence in which a newborn

is

swathed dwin

dles over time.

The

soul's earthly challenge, to recapture this original

knowledge, inspires the angels in the womb to great efforts on behalf of

perfecting a new soul's organs of thought, sense and action. After birth,

the new soul

is

then equipped to receive divine wisdom and manifest it

through her works. Sweden borg tells us ofwhat this wisdom consists, for

the angels, delight in the state of the man who has learned the truth,

which

is

the very receptacle of innocence,

that man

has

nothing

o oodness

and truth o

his

own but all is from the

Lord.

Notes on utoimmunity

Introducing Alzheimer's disease as an

utoimmune

Condition

In my previous book Interpreting hronic Illness Alzheimer's disease was

analyzed as failure to resolve centeredness vs disorientation within the

sense dimension of smell (in fact, disturbances

in

the sense of smell often

presage the onset of Alzheimer's). Alzheimer's disease can be linked to

a matter

of

transgression: the abominable practice within animal hus

bandry of forcing normally grain-eating cattle to consume feed partly

composed

of

meat from other cattle. Human consumption

of

beef from

cattle compelled to become carnivorous and cannibalistic facilitates the

previously impossible inter-species transmission

of

prion debilitating dis

eases (Jakob-Kreutzfeld disease, scrapie or Mad Cow disease). In spiritual

terms the loss of orientation in Alzheimer's disease parallels humanity's

loss

of

reverent orientation to the natural order.

s infectious prion debilitation consolidates epigenetically, we see the

miasmatic shift

in

the direction of

autoimmunity

. Thus, a 2005 study

titled ''Add Alzheimer's disease to the list ofautoimmune diseases reports

a finding that not only demonstrated the anomalous presence of immu-

noglobulin (lg) detection in the brain parenchyma of D tissues but,

most importantly, specific neurons that showed degenerative apoptotic fia-

tures

contained these vascular-derived antibodies. Whereas previously

the presence

of

anti-neuronal autoantibodies

in

the serum was readily

dismissed, such is

not

the case when there is blood-brain barrier dys

function allowing the deleterious effects

of

auto-antibodies access to their

targets. Hence, autoimmunity-induced cell death in Alzheimer's disease

is

strongly suggested.

198



Appendix V: Notes on Autoimmunity 199

Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus (SLE): A templ te for autoimmune

pathology?

Ninety percent

of

SLE occurs among women. Moreover, the incidence

of lupus symptoms

is

commonplace before menstrual periods

and

or

during pregnancy when estrogen production is high. What are we to

make of this?

n

answer is suggested by a delicate quandary embedded

within female reproductive physiology: should the body embrace or resist

its being invaded

and

commandeered by a foreign entity? Because the

fetus has DNA from the father, different from the mother's, the mother's

body can perceive the fetus

as

a foreign invader. Worse, an advance army

of

cells dispatched rapidly developing embryo invade the lining

of

the

uterus,

and

like a cancer, tap into the mother's arteries in order to siphon

off nutrients for the fetus. The homeopathic remedy made from ovarian

hormone (Folliculinum) expresses a justifiable sense of victimization

attending impregnation, expressed as its theme of I am a doormat . A

similar feeling, of the womb's being occupied by an unwelcome pres

ence,

is related to the remedy Sabina, derived from an abortifacient plant,

Juniperus sabina.

Striking parallels exist between SLE and another self-destructive disease,

syphilis. s SLE perhaps a non-infectious alter ego to syphilis? Conceivably,

suppression ofSLE initiated autoimmunity in its primordial guise:

• Though unexplainable, a false positive serological test result for

syphilis is

common

among lupus sufferers;

• Both diseases are challenging to diagnose because they can masquer

ade

as

other illnesses;

• The core self-attacking characteristic of the autoimmune disease

is self-referential. The circularity of syphilitic reasoning

and

tissue

destructiveness is likewise self-referential;

• Syphilitic mercuriality

and

destruction reverberate through birth

defects seen in modern times. SLE's mental confusion

and

memory

loss can be interpreted

as

reverberating in today's end-stage AIDS

dementia, Alzheimer's disease,

and

ASD.

Interpreting Chronic

the Convergence

of Traditional Chinese Medicine Homeo-

pathy ndBiomedicine views three seeming

ly incompatible fields of medicine through

the lens

of

phenomenology and develops

novelpatternsofcareforpatientswithchronic

illnesses.

A brilliant and groundbreaking work by an

integrative practitioner who speaks the lan

guage

of three very different healing par

adigms - biomedicine (modern Western

medicine), Traditional Chinese Medicine,

and homeopathy. Kantor simultaneously up

dates the Five Elements model of acupuncture; provides fresh insights

into the major homeopathic remedies based on the Five Elements model;

and shows how both can address the diagnostic categories of biomedi

cine. This will be an essential book for practitioners and students of all

three modalities who want to expand their healing paradigm.

Destined to be a classic of Integrative Medicine, it is a homeopathy

book of practical value that also happens to be the first, genuinely inte

grative medicine text.

t

introduces a frame of reference conducive

to

ac

curate prescribing: an updated version ofTraditional Chinese Medicine s

Five Phase System.

By means of its unique tool, Sense Dimensional Analysis, it

• Sheds new light on numerous homeopathic remedies;

• While providing startling examples, teaches a method by which both

the subjective and biochemical features of illness may be decoded;

• Introduces to homeopathy a currently lacking theory of healthful

function;

• Adapts he Five Phases System s dysfunctionality cycles so that these

can represent homeopathic remedies;

• Introduces a self-diagnosis mandala.

The Toxic

Relationship

Cure

Expect

to

be

amused while learning materia medica.

You

will find yourself reading entertaining

stories grouped into traumas dispensed by

a boss, parent, lover, friend,

and

spiritu

al beyond. It's written in a narrative style

with short descriptions of part-factual

and

part-fictional patient vignettes. Each de

scription comes with Mr. Kantor's anal

ysis of what a possible curative response

for each patient would look like, which

is

often a modification

of

the patient's symp

toms into

less

severe forms

of

illness where

he then suggests a

less

pathological remedy.

He ends each patient section with a short description

of

complemen

tary remedies. There are 32 remedy scenarios in the book, which range

from polycrests-such as

Nat-m

and

Lycopodium-to

the rarely consti

tutional remedies ofAbsinthum, Bismuth, and Gratiola.

For the nonhomeopathically educated, it would function well as an

introduction to the type

of treatment that homeopathy offers. And, for

the experienced homeopath you will find the book to be enjoyably enter

taining, injected with occasional a-ha moments

and

treats

of

the few rare

constitutional remedy pictures.

The unique twist that Mr. Kantor provides is very

appealing-this

being his Chinese Medicine perspectives on the organ relationship

to

conditions

and

his views

on

the somatization

of

emotional, mental,

and

spiritual disharmonies. He also discusses an intriguing perspective on

the cause of disease, Radical Disjunct: When the denial of a need is

sufficiently extreme, an apparent paradox results: when provided later,

satisfaction

of

the need

not

only fails to satisfY it worsens the individual's

general state.

The experienced

homeopath

will find seeds of thought

and

insight

into health from an organ perspective

and

perspective

on

somatization.

In the most comprehensive book to date on the homeopathic

treatment of autism, Jerry Kantor introduces a master plan, the

SineWave Method, offering a diverse range of tools. The toolbox

contains (and improves on) the strongest existing approaches

plus an expanded arsenal

of

useful remedies. Clinically successful

on a consistent

basis

the Sine Wave method also commits to a

mission: evolving increasingly potent strategies to understand,

eliminate and prevent autism spectrum disorder.

Parents as well as professionals will gain a great deal from this

book, as it includes dozens of interventions they can do at home (nutritional supple-

ments, Qi Gong massage, grounding, interactive play) and advice on how to find a

homeopath who can treat their autistic child.
