Welcome to Homeopathic Services the only practice near you in NYC specializing in autism. 

 

While the practice is located in NYC we are truly word wide with patients in Hong Kong, South Africa, Nigeria, Italy, Sweden and throughout the USA.

Autism is obviously an extremely serious and complex condition to treat. The number one responsibility is the child but it must be kept in mind that parents are in a very vulnerable situation. Parents are turned away from the medical establishment because it doesn’t have any solution, the latest I have heard from parents is that doctors are trying medication originally designed for Alzheimer’s disease! Given the latest research on this disease tells us those meds are absolutely useless!

Another situation is one parent far more trustful of homeopathy than the other. I have dealt with this situation many times, everybody must be acknowledged, by explaining that no harm can be done with homeopathy the wish of one parent should be granted. Skepticism is meant to lead to an educated conclusion if the skeptic remains simply that, I don’t have time for that.

By the time parents call me, they have tried the GFCF diet, many of them have done chelation therapy, ABA various different methods of rewards when accomplishing a task. My experience with these programs is that they have their limits. Often, the children get used to the exercises and become bored. Of course ABA and other programs are far more sophisticated than this caricature but the end result do not seem to vary widely. All of these therapies including speech therapy bring about some improvements at making the child deal with his environment rather than bring about a reversal of the whole.

Chelation Therapy is the big kid on the block, everybody wants to do it because of the heavy metal and adjuvant seemingly apparent connection. The linear thinking of getting rid of heavy metal and function will return is deeply flawed but appeals to parents. The only alternative I have seen be effective in cases is the GFCF diet. Any alternative is made more effective when the child is under homeopathic treatment.

Autistic children exhibit sensibilities, sometimes extreme, to a wide array of products. I recall a child who had a seizure following a massage with primrose oil. Likewise, any product with aspartame, I am told, may trigger seizures in these children.

Autism is an ailment unlike any other. When a neuro-typical child feels pain, he speaks to the parents who in turn feel the child’s description through understanding. With autism the parents are largely deprived of these basics that are an integral part of the parenting experience. In fact, particularly for the mother, the pain of not feeling the child is another traumatic circumstance that should be addressed with Autism Treatment in Homeopathy. Imagine, not being able to caress your child’s back because the child walks away oblivious to emotions. Parenting with these conditions is like flying blind. Considering this, the unique qualities of the child are difficult to uncover yet it is fabulously important to find them.

We often speak of people on the spectrum as being over sensitive, that is true but I also think that over perception is also true. That explains why an autistic person can remember an enormous amount of information such as cards sequence, what day of the week was June 14th 1934 or cover the ears when hearing certain sounds. The perception comes in the way of pictures much like a squirrel remembers exactly where it buried the nut six months earlier. The picture is “taken” with an extreme amount of precision and far more details than neuro-typical people do. They remember perfectly what they did and how it looked in far greater details than we can imagine because “seeing” is a series of image much like a movie reel. These extra ordinary qualities of hyper perception can give us a deeper understanding.

An example of how this might translate in the consultation room. A child refused to enter my office whereas he didn’t have problems coming in fifteen minutes earlier. The room had been darkened to try to put him to sleep. The darkness impaired his “picture taking” and so he was refusing. As soon as the light was raised he didn’t have a problem coming back in. This is an example Ms Grandin makes over and over again in her book and it translates perfectly in the consultation room. He did not have fear of the dark. He was fine at night, he feared the change. With all this “picture taking” it is no wonder that many of these children also think in pictures. It is global seeing, hearing, smelling etc. which is too much and simply control it all.

Often I find a history of heavy antibiotic use for recurrent colds or ear infections. Perhaps the infectious recurrences reflect immune system issues, regardless the key to giving a deeply acting homeopathic remedy is the current and past TOTALITY.

I have talked at length about the children but we can’t forget that we have a population of adolescents and young adults with this problem. At first my results were dismal but with better understanding and more experience it appears as if there is some hope for them as well. The same requirements are necessary as previously mentioned, the results of complete re establishment of health less likely than in the younger population but nonetheless we can greatly improve their lives

I hope I have shed some light on this condition and raised a few of the most common pitfalls in the treatment of autism. It is not easy and very heart wrenching. 
Many of these children make me very emotional. Depending on where they are on the spectrum they seem to live extremely simple and yet extremely complicated lives. Seeing these children develop relationships, come out of their bubble and light up is astounding. In many ways, I believe many of these children were never meant, in the small sense of the word, to have such lives, they do they deserve our deepest effort. Remember the example of not being able to caress the child on the back, well, it is possible now, he is laughing and has joined the family in toto.
