Homeopathy : The Fitness Mantra

 Homeopathy for Autism

• Homeopathy is based on individualization. Ten different autistic children might be given ten different remedies. Choice of remedy depends on a child's individual characteristics. However, there are some remedies that are more commonly used than others to treat children in this community.

• Autism, unfortunately, is a very serious condition and is not an easy cure.
• Although complete cures cannot be expected in most cases, homeopaths that treat autistic children are seeing significant progress in a majority of cases. If treatment begins early -- especially before age 5 -- there is room for great hope! Even later treatment can find success.
• You must have commitment and view treatment as a long term process that will take months and years, not days or weeks. Just give Homeopathy a chance.
• According the Dr. Jon Poling, Asst Professor in the Georgia Medical School the US Census data shows a 700-800% rise in the disorder (Article in AJC dated 13th March 2009

• Because autism is difficult to treat, it is recommended that you seek out a classical homeopath and stick with it for at least a year. Do not try to treat your child yourself. 
• Many autistic children improve significantly if they adhere to dietary restrictions. It is likely that the vaccinations have triggered severe food allergies in these children that affect their brain, resulting in autism. Eliminating the allergens can unburden their systems and provide relief, though usually not a cure. Homeopathic treatment can then go in and, over time, remove the allergic tendency altogether. However, as this can take a number of years, it is best to remove foods from the diet that are aggravating your child's condition. As homeopathic treatment creates improvement, you can slowly introduce foods back in.
• One of the most implicated problem foods is milk -- especially cow's milk. A study at the University of Florida on the effects of milk protein on the brain found that eliminating dairy helped something like 95% of autistic and psychotic kids! Goat milk is not as bad (it contains less milk proteins), but try to cut out all cow milk and dairy in general. Some people also believe that pasteurization is the culprit and advocate using raw milk instead.
• Other common food allergens are wheat and gluten. You might also experiment with eliminating corn (why add genetically engineered foods into the problem?) and avoid food colorings as much as possible.

 Testimonials

My son was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at the age of 3. The doctors told me that they couldn’t do anything for him and that he would remain like this for the rest of his life. They put him on strong medications which would just make him duller. Someone told us that Homeopathy could help and that’s the time we consulted Ritu. We started seeing changes in our son within a month of starting the treatment. After 2 months Ritu told us to stop the allopathic medication which we did and she kept a close eye on our son by making us report daily to her. We were amazed to see our son didn’t need those remedies and he started showing more improvement in understanding, eye contact, potty training etc. His physical ailments like painful corns etc. also started decreasing in size. He started speaking monosyllables. He started recognizing me (his father). He is now very social and likes to play with other kids. I feel now that if he continues taking homeopathic remedies he will get better

Update( Jan 7th 2011)

My son has complete understanding and is getting better with his speech. His corns have completely disappeared and many other physical issues taken care of. I can't thank Ritu enough.
