Foreword for Parents

While directed at professional homeopaths, many of the ideas and strategies presented in The Autism 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. If 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. If 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. If 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.
If 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.
If you can't find someone by word of mouth, try the directory of CEASEtrained homeopaths at http:/ /www.cease-therapy;com/ make-appointment/
9
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. Homeopaths 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 y6u 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 of
Dr. Martha Herbert (www.autismrevolution.org)

Epidemic Answers (www.epidemicanswers.org)

Introduction
Welcome to the Autism Reversal Toolbox, a compendium of ASD strategies, 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 philosophical 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 remedies (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 autoimmunity can be built.
Homeopathy's founder Samuel Hahnemann possessed a remarkably
diverse mind. The breadth of his investigative genius encouraged generations of disciples to delve into kindred philosophies in order to expand
homeopathy's curative power. Here, in the context of autism, the discussion 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 Hahnemann was aware of
Chinese Medicine, and many of his most talented followers such as Kent
were in awe of Sweden borg. 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 philosophies 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 synthesis 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 Autism Reversal Toolbox is an outgrowth of my wide-ranging studies,

clinical experience and research efforts. I was 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 was led by two of his first proteges in the
method, Ton Jansen and An van Veen in the Netherlands.) I have subsequently 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.

I. Setting up the Workbench

On 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 18rh 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 Po, is built inside
the mother and deposited in the child's Lungs. 1 This accounts for the
1 When the name of an organ is capitalized and italicized, it refers to the concept in
TCM, which is not limited to (and sometimes not even related to) the physical organ in
Western physiology.
13
14
mother's disproportionate influence over the child, especially in its early

years.
Readers wishing to learn more about the fascinating but intricate concepts common to both TCM and Swedenborg may delve into the source
materials available in the appendices. Our present purposes are served by
summarizing the following concepts, parallel versions of which are found
in TCM 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 Kidneys 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 Autism 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 conventional medical professionals, taken from the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
DSM V: Diagnostic Criteria for 299.00 Autism 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-andforth 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 relationships, ranging, for example, from difficulties adjusting behavior
to suit various social contexts; to difficulties in sharing imaginative play or in making friends; to absence of interest in peers. 2
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 seriously by parents, who need to seek holistic rather than harmful drug
solutions (such as giving babies Prilosec for reflux).
"Verging on Autism" Features which indicate a child may he

heading towards the autistic spectrum:
A child with GERD (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 compare with the similar Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder 315.39 (F80.89),
http:/ /www.autismspeaks.org/what -autism/ diagnosis/ dsm- 5-diagnostic -criteria.
16
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 exception 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 discussion 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-Dimensional 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 within Chinese Medicine is known as the Five Elements (or Five
Phases) system. Each of the Five Elements is associated with a particu-
Setting Up the Workbench 17
lar season, element of nature, etc. For example, Wood is associated with
Spring, the nervous system and the emotion of anger. In my own reworking 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. 3 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 diagnosis), 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 harmonized 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).

The Sense Dimension of Touch

Season: Summer; Phase: Fire
Reflecting circulatory functions and the Fire phase in TCM, the dimension of Touch concerns a core opposition between healthful Synchrony
and pathological Isolation.
Emblematic Text: The Book ofTouch (Sensory Formations) by Constance
Classen4
Synchrony: In a healthful synchronous state, an infant's relation to
its mother is symbiotic, in tune with its needs and the mother's availability. 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
1yh 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.
4 An academic but elegantly presented discourse on sensuous tactility. Extending from
the pains of tortures during the Inquisition to modern day massage therapies as well as the
implications held for tactility by cyberspace experience. The Book of Touch delves into how
masculine and feminine identities are shaped by touch, as well as the nature of the tactile
experiences of the blind, or the autistic. See Bibliographical entry.

following: the mother's failure to bond with her child; dysfunctional or
failed breast-feeding; stresses due to family discord before or during pregnancy. 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 heedlessly whilst elbowing in upon neighboring tissue.

Adjunctive modalities: A valued means of helping autistic individuals overcome Touch related problems is the chi gong massage method developed
by the Qigong Sensory Training Institute (see page 182). Other options
include many forms of massage ranging from the gentle to the most vigorous, depending on the child's needs and preferences. Also, drumming, and
animal therapy involving close and supervised contact with animals such as
horses and dolphins having a known affinity for children.
The Sense Dimension of Taste

Season: Late Summer; Phase: Earth
Reflecting digestive functions and the Earth phase in TCM, the dimension ofTaste concerns a core opposition between healthful Challenge and
pathological Anxiety. The gauntlet thrown down demands: Take as big a
bite as you can but make sure it can be chewed.

Processing Disorder written by the holistic nutritionist Maria Rickert

other children, and learning to read occur with confidence and minimal
fuss in a healthy child.
Anxiety: Failed or incomplete resolution of Synchrony vs. Isolation predisposes a child to poor confidence in regard to the challenges required
by developmental transitions. Anxiety manifests as emotional symptoms
such as dinginess, bolting behavior, pgobias, ritualistic behavior, stubbornness, and eating disorders, as well as gastrointestinal (Taste) related
physical symptoms including failure to thrive, parasites, and profound
bowel dysbiosis so often found in the ASD individual.
Cancer and autism within Taste: As polarities within Taste express the
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.
As further evidence of"I won't grow up" common to both conditions: In
cancer, signaling pathways that mediate the normal functions of growth
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 following treatment with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) .8 Autism and
cancer both share phosphorylation issues, meaning the cellular presence
of undesired kinase enzymes that interfere with the repair of DNA double-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 of ASD children to
flee from an unbearable environment such as a high-EMF and/ or overly
stimulating one).

more effective: for guidance see www.unblindmymind.org.

activity.
The Sense Dimension of Smell

Season: Autumn; Phase: Metal
The sense of smell is primal for exploring our world, sexual reproduction,
and survival. It orients us to the availability of food and the presence
of danger within surrounding space (think of the uses of a dog's sniffing ability). As Marcel Proust described in Remembrance ofThings Past,
smell enhances memory by obliterating time. Smells are conveyed via
the air. Thus, this sense dimension reflects respiratory function, or what
in TCM is known as the Metal phase. The dimension of Smell concerns
a core opposition between healthful Centeredness, the ability to live in
the moment, and pathological Disorientation, meaning a tendency to be
stuck in time. Thus it can refer to grief, but also connote attachment

wrestling students, diagnosed autistic, made amazing improvements in his handwriting
with no other intervention than wrestling.

to what is rooted in the past or concerned about the future, either way
outside of the present moment.
Emblematic Text: An Apprenticeship in Thinking, by Barbara Rogoff10
Centeredness: A child that is confident and competent, as a result of
having successfully resolved Challenge vs. Anxiety, is prepared to resolve
Centeredness vs. Disorientation. The centered child plays well with
others, toggling without difficulty between leader and follower roles. The
child makes good eye contact with others, is adept at game playing and
strategizing (knowing which way the wind blows), reacts appropriately in
conflict situations, does not languish in any emotion for too long, and is
prepared for cognitive challenges. He or she lives in the moment and is
generally well adjusted.
Disorientation: Failed or incomplete resolution of Challenge vs. Anxiety
predisposes a child to disorientation in time. This can manifest as excessive grief, inability to let go of a wrong, inability to effectively strategize or
advance cognitively, and panic disorders (which involve respiratory dysfunction such as gasping). At the physical level, Disorientation symptoms
can include asthma, skin ailments, allergies, food sensitivities and grief

The Sense Dimension of Hearing

Season: Winter, Phase: water
This is a complex and intricate dimension. Reflecting fluid metabolism
and reproductive function and what is known as the water phase in
TCM, the dimension of Hearing concerns a core opposition between
healthful Consolidation and pathological Entropy. Hearing is the ability
to 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
to 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 function involves directing impure fluid to the Bladder

excreted while pure fluid is retained and consolidated as essence;
to
be
Though the epithelium is soft and moist while the bones are dry and
hard, both serve water due to their functioning as 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 original chi residing within the Kidneys represents genetic
information consolidated miasmatically within our legacy or genome.
The Yuan can also be viewed as conveying miasma to the Hun or
ethereal soul (comparable to Jung's notion of the Collective

Unconscious) via our parents and ancestors. These are now consolidated within the Kidneys of the newborn child.
Emblematic Text: The Spell ofthe Sensuous, by David Abram. 11
Consolidation: Healthful mitochondria from the mother are established
within the fetus. Kidney Yang projects the will and purpose-laden Hun
into the body at birth, only to extract and eject it back to its universal source at death. A well-adjusted child, having successfully resolved
Centeredness vs. Disorientation, is prepared for the onerous lifetime
demands of hearing and acquiescing to his or her life mission- in other
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. Other than a random occurrence, the presence of congenital illness
represents information that has consolidated (compressed into "coded"
form that can be inherited) and thereby gained immortality. What might
that information be and how does it come to be consolidated?
Our suspicions narrow down to a single leading suspect, Kidney Yangs
often stressed out "housemate," ]ing. Let us take a moment to discuss this
fascinating concept.
11 Explores the sense of hearing via phenomenological investigation of the voice and
nature. A review by the Shambala Sun captures the book's wonders and relevance to the
dimension of Hearing: "Manages almost magically to stir in us long-lost memory: deep in
our bones, in our blood, in the air we breathe, we know the world lives and speaks to us
.. . shows that it is possible to reawaken the animistic dimension of perception and feeling
without renouncing rationality and intellectual analysis:' 1st Vintage Books Ed edition
(February 25, 1997)
26
]ing and the consolidation (inheritance) of stress

]ing is an essential energy stored within the Kidneys. When circulating throughout the body it is known as the Yuan which translates as
Reproductive Essence, Inborn, Genuine or Original chi. The Jing issues
mainly from the Congenital Essence of Life (yet another form of chi
stored in the Kidneys) but also is supplemented and nourished by the
Acquired Essence of Life produced by the metabolic efforts of the Spleen
and Stomach. Although it also receives an impetus from (infinite) Kidney
Ytmg, the ]ing is neither immortal nor infinite.
When run down or depressed as a result of stress, ]ing's contraction (or
under more serious conditions essence depletion) in mental, emotional
and physical terms undermines us. ]ing is in fact, a precious and finite
substance whose conservation we should heed. The ]ing supports the
Kidney Yin's ability to supply epithelial moisture and general fluid function throughout the body. It possesses a power to motivate the vital
activities of the body without which normal development, growth and
healing do not occur. Depletion of the ]ing results in lassitude, vertigo,
debility and susceptibility to illness. Popularly applied recourses such as
acupuncture and herbal treatments owe their effectiveness to their ability
to conserve and protect the fin g.
Due to its origination in the Congenital Essence of Life it sometimes
happens that the Jing is congenitally of a weak quality. Depending on
the severity of ]ing deficiency, the reproductive organs themselves may
be undeveloped, undersized or inoperative. The onset and regularity of
puberty may be affected, as well as the production of gametes in a female
and sperm in a male. This constitutional deficiency may prevent fertility to such an extent that all the interventions of artificial reproductive
technologies (ART) are ineffective. And when ART is able to overcome
this inherited weakness and force a pregnancy to occur, the unfortunate
result may be to perpetuate a lineage in which the ]ing is weak. Hence the
higher rate of autism and other problems in children born by ART (as
well as the problems caused by the interventions themselves).
27
Situations of enduring stress, such as a severe and lasting encounter with a

pathogen, cannot be indefinitely withstood. There exists a point beyond
which even one's emergency resources are no longer available. It is at
such a point that -like a dying wish one cannot refuse to fulfill- trauma
and concern long borne by an overburdened ]ing is permitted to shift
over and become imprinted upon her more powerful partner, a suddenly
wised up and activated Kidney Yang. When miasmatic symptoms erupt
in an unsuspecting individual one or more generations later, these are in
effect the reverberating screams of Jing insisting her needs be attended
to. An effective response serves not only to strengthen the individual in
which they are heard, but more importantly to unravel a legacy of illness.
Although the concept of]ing is missing from conventional medicine as well
as homeopathy, its acceptance as a theoretical concept carries practical benefits. ]ing should be thought of when (as in our ASD cases) dietary and nutritional changes in support of a mother or child's body and spirit are needed.
The Screams of ]ing

We may visualize ]ing as a female personality. Had Swedenborg been
Chinese and inspired to "interview" ]ing as he did his other spiritual
entities, he might have brought back an account such as the following:
When we are worn out, we grow palpably aware of what may be described as
her suffiring. ]ing shares a large house- for whose upkeep she is solely respomible
- with an immortal force, Kidney Yang, a gentleman who has his head in the
clouds, thinking about eternal verities. ]ing is acutely anxious in regard to her
limited energy and available days. Her live-in partner, "Mr. Endlessly Streaming
Yangfrom the Universe," could care less ifthe roofover his headfalls in. Actually,
this is not entirely the case, as when confronted with the inequality oftheir concerm he argues, "Get offmy case! !fit isn't me, then who do you think is constantly
watching over the fUrnace [in TCM, the Gate ofFire} seeing to it that the pantry
[by means ofsurplus Acquired Essence oflife] is always well stocked!"
En tropic features of a child within whom the screams of ]ing reverberate
may thus include savantism, autism, behaviors and symptoms reflecting
28
a legacy of drug abuse or alcoholism; any and all miasms, though in

particular syphilitic deficiencies such as genetic mutations and organ
deformities (either reflecting preexisting syphilitic tendencies or directly
resulting from assisted reproductive technologies) and a susceptibility to
auto-immune conditions and co-infection.

The Sense Dimension of Sight

Season: Spring; Phase: Wood
Emblematic Text: Virgil's Aeneid, 12 and Patty Lerner's Envisioning a
Brighter Future, a guide to holistic therapies for autism including behavioral
optometry. 13
Reflecting neurological, visual and Liver function (which includes significant blood physiology) within the Wood phase ofTCM, the dimension
of Sight concerns a core opposition between Creativity and Chaos. The
sensation of sight being stereoscopic condemns us to see or know too
12 Roman literary classic whose themes involving fate, vengeance, the will and a visionary agenda draw deeply on the sense dimension of Sight. Available in many editions.
13 Lerner, P. Envisioning a Brighter Future: Interventions that Work for Children and Adults

much, thereby promoting chaotic anger. This is well expressed in the

Bible's Genesis chapter: Adam and Eve having eaten the fruit of knowledge growing on the Tree of Life see more than they should, namely that
they are naked. Confusion and shame engulf them. God sees their violation 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. As Temple Grandin points out
in Thinking in Pictures, autists tend to think visually, in pictures, which
is why verbal instructions are poorly absorbed. As seen below, the overwhelming 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 resentment). 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
ASD children literally cannot stand to see too much, which is why
their preferred visual mode is peripheral. It 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, OD 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.

The ASD Intake
31
The ASD Intake

With a basic understanding of the composition of a healthy human being
and what goes wrong in autism, the time has come for venturing into
the territory of specific causes. A momentous event now looms: Our first
meeting with a family involved with a child (or adult), the stress level of
whose ]ing to a certain degree determines his or her level of autism. We
now introduce key features of a successful intake.
Preparation
In advance of any 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 particular 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 encouraged 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, geographic dislocation or poverty
Observational and intuition-based information concerning pivotal
"never-well-since-events" in their child's history
32
Educational and career background information about the parents

themselves (and perhaps grandparents)
Intra-family stresses such as 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 as a team when treating ASD clients if at all
possible. The following guidelines will be written as 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 exposures 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.
Engaging the Session

The consulting room should be spacious and welcoming but also relatively free of distracting clutter. Depending on the surrounding environment, 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 ASD Intake
33
After welcoming and orienting the family to your approach, it is recommended 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 Mother

Treating the mother is highly recommended, and in fact many homeopaths 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 Lungs 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.
34
The Po, a Corporeal Soul
Additional aspects of the ASD intake will become apparent as we continue to ready the Workbench.
Ten Elements of a Successful Approach
35

1. Gain familiarity with developmental delays
You cannot expect to understand disability without understanding health.
Review the sense dimensional and TCM modeling of health discussed in
the first chapter. Did you know that the vision of ASD children is primarily 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.
36
3. The angels are in the details

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 of spousal incompatibility;
The presence of specific incidents or a history of familial conflict;
Issues of conception, pregnancy, delivery, post-partum depression;
Use of Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART).
Examples of intake details revealing a family miasm:

1. A sycotic family (the father clearly needing Medorrhinum, other family
members impulsive and scattered) lends credence to a Saccharum
Officinale prescription for the child.
2. Lack of emotional support of husband to wife in a pregnancy is seen as
contributing to a Mag. Carb. failure-to-thrive syndrome (where milk
aggravates, digestion is poor, and the child is severely underweight).
3. A silent, non-reactive ASD child with the background presence of an
immensely oppressive maternal grandfather indicates the child may be
carrying his mother's psychic burden. Plumbum may initiate a productive 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 as well. As an example, the
healthy sibling may be drawn into the inappropriate demands of a helper
role. He or she may understandably harbor guilt and/ or resentment of the
37
child who demands so much attention. The exhausted parents may overlook 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 yourself with 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 other modalities 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
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitivisation and Reprocessing)
NAET, a method of clearing allergies based on homeopathy and
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) deserves mention because although it
may seem to give good results initially, its behavior modification method
based on reward and deprivation can inculcate fear and obsessiveness,
according to families in my practice.
An excellent introduction to existing and emerging ASD modalities is
Patricia Lerner's Outsmarting Autism: The Ultimate Guide to Management,
Prevention and Healing (see page 202).
38
6. Dance on a tightrope
This recommendation requires a delicate balance. For it asks the practitioner to simultaneously be structure-conscious and flexible.
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 explanation 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. If 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

In the Workshop Methods section of this book, formulating the game
plan will be referred to as plotting the outline of your Sine Wave approach.
This postulates a strategy in which constitutional care freely alternates with
detoxification (or clearing) via tautopathy and biotherapeutic drainage.
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
extract product such as AFA-gen 16 come into play (see page 82 for more
about these substances that can bind heavy metals) .
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. Do 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.

Autism ReversaL TooLbox
The Bigger Picture: Prophylaxis

At the time of his writing Autism: Beyond Despair, his guide to CEASE,
Tin us Smits held the opinion that autism was one hundred percent reversible. 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 oftentimes 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);
* Continued 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 and Herbert reference on page 209);
* Increase of pregnancies resulting from artificial reproductive technology
(ART);
* Excessive reliance on increasingly powerful antibiotics;
* Inadvisable or excessive reliance on pharmaceuticals during pregnancy
(reflecting the decline in reproductive health due to economic disadvantage; lifestyle pressure; and the deceptive convenience of drug-based
intervention);
* The digital dystopia ("babysitting" of children with smart-phones and
video games that reinforces robotic cognition and asociality while inundating their developing brains with EMFs).
The importance ofprevention cannot be overstated.

Consciousness-Related Prevention
One of Sweden borg's maxims is that marriages are the seminaries of the
human race. This suggests looking upon the marital union as a holy
space from which emanates humanity's power to survive and evolve.
Your marital union's strength is composed of love, so evict hindrances
to its flow. Strive for innocence, resolve mutual differences, repair relationships with in-laws and family members, set aside petty differences
during the pregnancy. Meditate and pray. Practice joyfulness. Visualize
your child's birth as occurring in a state of grace.
One way or another all religions pay homage to the ancestors and seek
their blessings. Invite their support for your child. Set an intention so
that beneficial ancestral influence may arrive unimpeded.
Consider undergoing a course of constitutional homeopathy for your
spouse and yourself before conception, in order to clear out inherited
(miasmatic) weaknesses.
Mobilize Against a Myth

Contrary to what conventional medicine maintains, our bodies cannot
handle unlimited medication or vaccine exposure. This is true regardless
of claims made concerning the supposed harmlessness of an individual
vaccine or medicine. Denial of this truth promotes hazardous care. A
public health priority especially in regard to autism is recognizing the
toxic load caused by accumulated vaccines and drugs. Elaboration on this
topic will follow.
Support Immunological Survey Protocol Prior to Vaccination

In Gut and Psychology Syndrome, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride sensibly
proposes an immunological survey to be performed on every baby prior to
vaccination. This would include assessment of the parents' health; stool and
urine analysis to assess gut dysbiosis in the baby; and a test to determine
the infant's immune status. Based on the outcome Campbell-McBride
recommends that either no vaccination be given; that vaccinations be
delayed (with single vaccines only); or that a course of single vaccines be
administered.
42
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 child). These include
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 of the Infant's
Microbiome within the Trauma and Stress section). Arrange ahead of
time that these occurrences do not take place. Avoiding an epidural and
pitocin if at all possible will help avoid a C-section.
Arrange to Harvest and Encapsulate Your Placental Tissue

Within many cultures a mother's ingestion of the placenta and or umbilical cord is considered to have multiple health benefits. This view is supported by modern research as well. 17 Whereas some of the homeopathies
known as Matridonal remedies 18 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~ing an
auto-sarcode is that when the placental tissue is healthy, low potencies should be created. When placental tissue is necrotic or otherwise
unhealthy a higher potency should be made.
Fanciful Proposal for Societal Consciousness

One of the deficits of modern society is its absence of acknowledged prophets, individuals who by virtue of their expanded consciousness forewarn
credibly of coming tribulation so that protective measures can swiftly be
adopted. The prophecy function in our time is ceded to unauthorized

soothsayers, cultural figures such as authors and filmmakers whose prescient visions concerning climate change, for example, are readily dismissed
by the authorities, themselves constrained not to act until it is too late.
Not every artist's nightmare comes true or represents a genuine vision.
Yet a constellation of related cultural visions suddenly and unpredictably
appearing may be prophetic. In hindsight, I believe that the late 1950s
and early 1960s erupted with prophetic films and books warning of
onrushing depersonalization, electronic culture, and robotic behavior. In
particular I am thinking of two movies: the 1956 film Invasion ofthe Body
Snatchers, a vision of mysteriously depersonalized people; and the 1962
film Creation of the Humanoids, whose techno-dystopia depicts a class
of life-like humanoid robots devoid of normal emotion but otherwise
indistinguishable from human beings.
fu a mere recitation of facts is a snooze, the properly motivating vision
of alarm must garb itself in lurid packaging, such as that of a popular
movie. Extraction of the prophecy's embedded import requires snooping
behind and disregarding the film's commercial veneer that in foolish and
sensationalistic fashion equates unusual children with the devil's spawn.
44
The Promise of 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. It 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 as
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 as those listed above. It 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 Manual of
Homeoprophylaxis, sometimes promotes a pared-down HP schedule,
in other words the minimal use of nosodes as 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 HP moves in this direction it strikes me as
unnecessary and possibly unsafe to mimic with homeopathic nosodes
the American government's onerous version of the vaccination schedule. 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 recommend working with a professional homeopath or naturopath who can
provide protection as needed against an illness to which your child is
being directly exposed, such as measles or whooping cough (using those
examples because those vaccines have lost some of their effectiveness.)
46
Here is Dr. Golden's proposal in his own words: 19

We know that homoeoprophylaxis (HP) is non-toxic so the crucial question 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. It 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 yet 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 meningococcal 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. It was a complete and statistically rigorous report
and was published in a leading peer reviewed homeopathic journal, and

is available for study (reference: Mroninski C, Adriano E, Mattos G

(2001) Meningococcinum: Its protective effect against meningococcal
disease. Homoeopathic Links Winter Vol14(4); pp. 230-4).
(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 prevention 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 prevention 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, and the actual
comments by parents are reported. The single figure measure of effectiveness is 90.4% (95% confidence limits 87.6% - 93.2%). Using national
attack rates as a control, HP efficacy for three diseases was whooping
cough- 86.2%; measles- 90.0%; mumps- 91.6%.
Author's note: please go back and reread my critique ofDr. Golden's research
design on page 45. He has not provided details ofthe cohorts in his study.
II Conceptual Tools
The following topics are conducive to a modern understanding of autism
spectrum conditions.
Epigenetics 20
Inheritable changes within the germ cells
Samuel Hahnemann's theory of miasms (the idea that someone who contracts a disease can pass along a related weakness to his offspring) was controversial because it was associated with the theories of Lamarck, which
seemed to be disproved by Darwin's theories of evolution. Epigenetics
-the study of how 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 conception, epigenetic factors can undergo wave upon wave of resetting in
support of gender appropriate fetal cell development. In a validation of
_Lamarck, rodent studies reporting that epigenetic effects due to pollutants such as Vinclozolin, Dioxin, Bisphenol (BPA), and DDT persist
transgenerationally, through five generations of rodent pups, confirm the
reality of non-genetic inheritance. 21

Conceptual Tools
49
Generational persistence is consistent with Sense Dimensional theory:

Lifestyle excesses, poor nutrition, and trauma consolidate within the dimension of Hearing. The conceptual gap between epigenetics and chronic
miasms is also bridged when suppression of skin lesions characterizing
each of the miasmatic diseases (scabies, tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea,
ringworm, leprosy and cancer) are included among environmental influences consolidating within Hearing so as to reappear epigenetically.
Epigenetics and chronic dysfunction

The term 'epigenetic' derives from epi- (Greek: ml- upon, over, outside
of, around) genetics. The specific molecular and genetic effects it describes
likely also apply to the chronic diseases Hahnemann studied, accounting
for how the susceptibilities of scabies, tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea can consolidate within genetic inheritance.
Epigenetic changes are alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell
that are either not caused by changes in the DNA sequence, or not necessarily heritable alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell. These
chemical groups thus command cell fate. Importantly for our purposes,
modified epigenetic groupings can be seriously pathogenic when abnormal.
Only two percent of our DNA is necessary, according to conventional
medicine- that part that codes for proteins. What about the other 98%?
In a failure of the imagination, until recently this surplus DNA was
labeled "junk." We now know that portions of this important evolutionary byproduct switch on RNA performing the work of proteins interacting with other genetic material. Epigenetics thus connotes a control
system of switches turning genes on or off. Epigenetics also denotes the
changes themselves, the functional actions within the genome not involving a change in the nucleotide sequence. 22 .

50
Main Types of Epigenetic Information

DNA methylation, which has an important contributing role in the
regulation of gene expression and the silencing of repeat elements in the
genome. The dysregulation of DNA methylation is a major problem for
many on the autistic spectrum.
Examples: Methylation is an important biochemical process vital to the
regulation of chemical reactions enhancing attention, mental focus,
awareness, language development, detoxification, sleep, immune support
and more. Its pathway describes the conversion of homocysteine to
methionine, an amino acid supporting the heart and blood vessels,
muscle tissue, immune and nervous systems.23
In an alternate pathway known as trans-sulfuration, homocysteine converts to two different amino acids, taurine and cysteine. Taurine is recognized for its important role in heart and liver support, detoxification,
bile acid formation and cholesterol excretion. Cysteine directly influences
production of a powerful anti-oxidant, glutathione. Glutathione protects
against DNA/RNA damage while also aiding heavy metal and chemical
detoxification, and immune function.
Not surprisingly, numerous ASD individuals exhibit dysfunction with
regards to methionine, taurine and cysteine production. 24 Histones
(chromatin structures at hundreds of genome-wide localities acting as
spools around which DNA winds) also play a role in DNA methylation
because (to the extent to which they are modified) they too can impact
transcriptional modification. 25
23 Can occur via transference of a methyl (CH3) group from methylcobalamin (Bl2) or
betaine (trimethylglycine or TMG).

Due to their importance in growth and development, imprinted genes are

major players in cancer and related disease pathology when cell and tissue
growth is found to be atypical. Imprinted genes in which the maternally
expressed copy from the mother is turned on usually suppress growth,
whereas paternally expressed genes usually augment growth.
Homeopathy's equivalent of epigenetics is the phenomenon of miasms,
described in the next section.
Miasms
According to Henny Heudens-Mast, author of The Foundation ofthe Chronic
Miasms in the Practice ofHomeopathy, "The more the miasms become combined in our patients, the more aggressive diseases become. In the disease of
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), there are symptoms from
all five miasms. The more we suppress strong diseases such as gonorrhea,
syphilis, tuberculosis, or cancer, the more dangerous the miasm that comes
after." 26 In a related conclusion in The AIDS Miasm, Peter Fraser appears
to equate the influence of technological advancement to the pressure of
pervasive diseases: 27
He depicts miasmatic progression from Psora to AIDS as paralleling
evolutionary breakthroughs in technology such as writing, printing,
and the industrial revolution. Miasmatic progression thus extends the
powers of man's senses, while also distancing him from the immediacy
of sense perception. Fraser says: "With printing and industrialization the
feeling of being a small part of the bigger machine is met by Syphilis, a
destructive reaction in which suspicion and fear are important elements.
In time the society becomes used to the Industrial World and is forced

to accept its role, to conform and to dispense with individuality, though

at the same time to rage against the system. This is the Cancer state." 28
He 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 years later, considering the
combination of its infectious and autoimmune elements, the AIDS miasm
appears transitional to what has in fact come next: a miasm I call NeuralAutoimmunity 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 associating miasms with infectious diseases, the concept of a (non-infectious)
neural autoimmunity miasm may require as large a revolution in thinking as Hahnemann's original introduction of miasmatic theory.
Classifying Miasmatic Remedies
Numerous challenges attend miasmatic reasoning. These include addressing 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?
With so much overlap among remedies "belonging" to each of the various
28 Fraser, Peter. The AIDS Miasm, Contemporary Disease and the New Remedies, Winter
Press, Kent, GB, 2002 pg. 38.
53
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 representing 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 suppress 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 Hahnemann'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 the substances and circumstances associated with each miasmatic suppressor representative.
In the original jive we now also include Leprosy, Ringworm, Yersinia, and
AIDS. Thus:
54
Psora
Nosode - Psorinum (scabies), possibly Candida Albicans (by Psora
Hahnemann may have been referring to the complex of candidarelated ailments)
Reflection in Nature- Sulphur, Sarcoptes scabiei (the scabies mite) 29
Suppressor Representative -Antibiotics (gut) and cortisone (skin)
Sycosis
Nosode- Medorrhinum or Bowel Nosodes
Reflection in Nature- Thuja
Suppressor Representative - Antibiotics and Kali Brom (because it
was known in terms of its treatment of sexual guilt. Its allopathic use
was originally to suppress seizures resulting from masturbation)
Syphilis
Nosode- Syphilinum
Reflection in Nature -Aurum
Suppressor Representative- Mercurius (due to the role of mercury in
environmental toxicity and artificial reproductive technology) 30
Tuberculinurn
Nosode- Tuberculinum
Reflection in Nature- Rhus Tax or Pulsatilla
Suppressor Representative- Kali Iodatum (via its use as a respiratory
expectorant; emblematic via its less common utilization as a protector
of the thyroid in radioactive exposure)
Cancer
Nosode- Carcinosin, Schirrinum
Reflection in Nature - The sarcode Folliculinum; Staphysagria;
29 For a differentiation between Psorinum and Sarcoptes see the Insect edition of Narayana's journal Spectrum, 2014-2
30 http :/ /www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/ 20 13 / 11/potassium-bromide-sedative-trenches-tea
55
Arsenicum Album (self-criticism, failed rebellion, excessive responsibility, environmental toxicity)

Suppressor Representative- X-ray, hormone deactivating drugs, DNA
binding alkylating (chemotherapy) agents
As reported in his Miasms and Nosodes, Louis Klein's investigation into
new nosodes reinforces Heudens-Mast's point about heightened severity
in subsequent miasms. The Pertussis miasm (emanating from expanded
suppression of tuberculosis via vaccines) extends the Tubercular miasm in
a direction that includes a parasite-like dinginess. Thus:
Pertussis
Nosode- Pertussinum
Reflection in Nature- Coccus Cacti
Suppressor Representative- Sambucus and DPT
Other miasms Klein discusses suggest (in my own interpretation) a secondary status and differentiation from the classical core of five by virtue
of 1) their lacking a characteristic skin eruption and; 2) sharing a rootedness in and an exacerbation from, crisis circumstance, as opposed to
manifesting deeply existential themes: struggle (Psora) alienation (Syc),
resistance (Syph), lack offulfillment (Tub), the futility of rebellion (Care).
For example: the Clostridium nosode, Tetanus, reflects a feeling that the
ego or consciousness has been punctured in a mortifYing event. Although
a miasm in its own right optilfllized via its vaccine, Tetanus also represents
heightening of the Tuberculo~is and Leprosy (prolonged struggle) miasms.
Tetanus
Nosode - Clostridium
Reflection in Nature- Hypericum and Angustera Vera
Suppressor Representative- Strychnine, Tetox (Tetanus vaccine)
56
Typhoid
The Typhoid miasm that according to Klein is a cohort of the Yersinium
(Black Plague) miasm (so they mutually reinforce), features alcoholism,
abuse, business failure, and collapse. It reflects and extends the impact of
crises related to overwhelming circumstances.
Nosode- Eberthinum
Reflection in Nature - Bryonia, Gaertner (Bach)
Suppressor Representative- Muriatic Acid, Typhoid vaccine
Diphtheria
Nosode - Diphtherinum (actually three different nosodes m the
literature)
Reflection in Nature- Lac Caninum
Suppressor Representative - Mercurius Cyanatus, DTP vaccine
The Diphtheria miasm, resulting from the anaerobic actinobacteria corynebacterium, might be described as the Cancer miasm turned on its head.
This is to say it expresses the same futility-of-rebellion theme as Cancer,
as well as its insecurity in relation to a forthcoming task. The difference
is that Cancer is highly sensitive and nice, whereas Diphtherium is angry
and tough. Its increasing prominence as a miasm can be attributed to its
widespread application as part of the DPT vaccine.
Malaria
Nosode- Malaria Compound Nosode (Malar-Co)
Reflection in Nature - China
Suppressor Representative - Carbolic Acid, but of course also,
famously China
Klein's discussion of Malaria - including a discussion of the toxoplasmosis nosode - places the Malaria miasm among parasitic protozoa as
a whole. Its situational stress reflects exposure to emotionally charged
situations involving toxic experiences with love, family members, racism,
death, and the gain or loss of wealth. Malaria's polarity reflects on the
one hand, large ideals for dealing with these issues, and on the other
hand stuckness: the problematic release of emotions and bodily wastes.
57
Antimalarial suppression of the miasm reflects and promotes emotions

and stresses attending modern day economic impoverishment.
AIDS
Nosode- AIDS nosode proved by Misha Norland 31
Reflection in Nature- Trees, Propolis, Anacardium
Suppressor Representative- AZT, Berlin Wall
As determined by Misha Norland the miasm concerns overly porous
boundaries: the inability to keep what is in, in and what is out, out. The
disease itself is characterized by immune system collapse.

Within our schema nosodes continue to play a major role in the treatment of autism. Yet now, as the extensive list of tissue-derived remedies
and their related suppressive category influences below suggests, sarcodes
(remedies made from healthy organs, tissues, hormones, etc.) assume a
heightened importance:
Nosodes -All the usual nosodes but with a heightened role assigned to. the
bowel nosodes, due to their prominent role in treating bowel dysbiosis
Sarcodes
reproductivity sarcodes such as Umbilical Cord, Placenta, Amniotic
Fluid, and Vernix Caseosa
endocrine sarcodes such as Anterior Pituitary and Hypothalamus
glands such as Thymus and Pineal
Ocular Growth Factor
the hormone Secretin
There are many possible tissues and hormones which could be made into
remedies in the future, including
engorged glial tissue
mitochondria
enzymatic nagalase
31 http://www.modernhomoeopathy.com/ aids_nosode_proving.htm
58
autistically characteristic brain tissue such as from the dorsolateral

prefrontal cortex
the posterior superior temporal cortex or the occipital cortex
and perhaps most importantly, the hippocampus (for its role m
memory, spatial awareness and learning)
This list will narrow down over time based on homeopaths' clinical experience in treating autism.
Reflections in Nature- The net is even wider, encompassing a large
portion of the non-nosode materia medica. As of now:
gases (polarities involving inertness and hyper-reactiviry)
Lanthanides (the attached and detached poles of autonomy)
remedies from every miasm (and their nosodes)
the milks (each expressive of a nurturance disjunct)
plants expressive of attachment disorder themes in accordance with
Sankaran
Suppressor Representative - Remedies to be drawn from the vast field of:
environmental influences (the expanding list oflmponderables such
as remedies made from ultrasound, EMFs and cell phone radiation)
lifesryle toxins (glyphosate/Roundup for example) 32
antibiotics
hormones
tocolytics (drugs used to suppress premature labor), Pirocin (synthetic oxytocin), and other drugs used in the birth process
vaccines
pharmacological medicines (in particular, psychiatric drugs such
as anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, and anti-anxiery medications
such as Risperidone, Prozac, Ritalin, and Strattera whose major side
effects including depression, liver problems, tremors and slowed
growth, themselves figure prominently within ASD pathology)
32 Dr. Seneff's research is available on her home page, http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/
59
In summary: It is hoped but hardly certain that in the near future homeopaths' extensive experience with the autistic population will winnow the
wide range of treatment avenues suggested above. The objective would be
a more manageable number of remedies. In the meantime refuge can be
sought in our toolbox approach generally, and in the Sine Wave method
introduced on page 119, specifically.
Neural Auto-immunity
The AIDS virus's epochal breaching of the blood-brain barrier and mitochondrial depletion denotes an entrenched vulnerability to which (if
we pursue Heudens-Mast's and Fraser's line of thinking) the miasm to
follow is an inevitable response. In terms of its being self-referential, the
neural autoimmunity "response" is cocoon-like, protective. As opposed
to the AIDS miasm's helplessness in the face of burgeoning technology
(as seen in the forthcoming section "Digital Dystopia''), the new miasm
embraces it. NAIM also represents completion of an evolutionary movement directed away from externally-derived infection and towards selfreferential 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 component 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) that act on virtually every type
of immune cell. Neural autoimmunity thus either reflects or promotes
pathology in HPA-related conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome
(adrenal exhaustion), Lyme disease, and fibromyalgia.
Radical Disjunct: Autoimmunity as the Return of the Repressed?
In a sense, autoimmune pathology is as old as homeopathy's oldest
precepts: Suppression of a symptom not only fails to rid ourselves of
it permanently, its subsequent return is aggravated and persistent. As I
explained in Interpreting Chronic Illness, "radical disjunct" (satisfaction of
the original need, as in obtaining relief from an itch by scratching it, or
60
relieving hunger by eating) not only no longer brings relief, but worsens
suffering (scratching makes the itch worse; a normal meal after starvation
proves toxic). In regard to immune function, the insult is not merely
suppression but its aftershock, depletion.
Chronic inflammation from an obtaining cause such as starvation, poor
quality food or toxic exposure imprints epigenetically. Conditioned to
the state of inflammation, the immune system begins to react to phantom
inflammatory agents. Inflammation in the absence of a genuine trigger
secve; to
deplete.

solipsism and robotic behavior. Regardless of how complex, the circuitry
within our many devices is self-referential, a succession of feedback loops
comprising a closed system. The child handed an electronic gadget while
yet in the cradle has been immersed in coding, babysat by a software
engineer. By promoting isolation at the expense of synchrony within the
dimension of Touch, electronic technology promotes the likelihood of
social and developmental deficits.
We would do well to counter this trend. While the predictable behavior of
robotic caretakers, educational _gadgets, and electronic entertainments distract and appear to soothe children, they also reinforce regressive tendencies.
Unwelcome as the observation that ASD and digital technology are reciprocal may be, we must act decisively to break the vicious cycle that links them.

Six Stages of Pathology: Homotoxicology

Demonstrating a Confluence of Traditional Chinese Medicine and
Homeopathy denoted by the term Homeosiniatry
The toxicity we encounter may be material (for example industrial pollutants), energetic (for example electromagnetic fields) or situational (for
example enduring psychic trauma resulting from a stress-laden personal
relationship). Our organism possesses an impressive capacity to accommodate, assimilate, redirect and expel all three types of toxicity. Yet as the
example of autism vividly demonstrates, this capacity has its limits.
Theory within both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Homeopathy
permits assesjn-~mits to the body's toxicity resilience. The two systems
offer parallel mode' wherein a six-stage descent from health to chronic
illness is depicted/ Seen juxtaposed below, the dual explanatory modes
represent a convergence resulting in a hybrid medical system known as
homeosiniatry that offers a useful schemata in regard to autism pathology.
The TCM version, referred to as Diffirentiation According to Channel
Theory, depicts a transformation of external influence into inner pathology in energetic terms. The homeopathy version is known as The Six
Stages of Homotoxicology according to Reckeweg. Though not presented
here, a similar journey accounting for the deterioration of emotional
health can be modeled according to (hypothetical) sequential miasmatic
transformation, extending from Psora to Syphilis.33
The following introduction to homo toxicology is offered by Mary Coyle,
a practitioner and teacher based in New York City who obtains excellent
results treating ASD clients with this method:
Homo toxicology was the brainchild of a German physician, Dr. Heinrich
Reckeweg (1877-1944). Its adherents consider it a bridge between allopathic and homeopathic therapeutics. Dr Reckeweg believed that today's
33 Formulated in Rediscovering Real Medicine: The New Horizons of Homeopathy, Elmiger
Jean, Element Books Lrd (May 1998)
Conceptual Tools: Six Stages of Pathology
63
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 elimination 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 languishil}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.
Being compromised and fragile, ASD children lacking the resources to
recover from their physical and emotional assaults display critical impairment. Many are unable to mount fevers, tan 34 , sunburn, sweat, or form
muscle mass. Some of the more affected children are so compromised
34 The inability to tan is an odd feature discussed by parents of ASD children, some of
whom relate enhancement of tanning capability to a product, Respen-A that contains the
mitochondrial enzyme MAO-A whose activity is required by melatonin production itself
related to tanning. http:/ /thirning.blogspot.com/20 10/06/tanning-autism -and-respen.html.
64
they fail even to lose their baby teeth according to the typically developing childhood schedule. Invading intracellular toxins have attached onto
organelles, such as the mitochondria, severely compromising their fuel
metabolism. Lack of energy places ASD kids squarely within a pattern of
adrenal stress wherein, forced to function in a chronically wired-but-tired
state, inflammation is perpetually stimulated.
In accordance with many of the same dietary and environmental recommendations found throughout this book, Mary Coyle implements
a program of biotherapeutic drainage via remedies and detoxification.
Drainage remedies are made from substances from the plant, mineral and
animal kingdoms. They are low in potency (3x, 6x, or 4 to 5CH or 30K
potencies). Biotherapeutic drainage and detoxification will be revisited in
the Workshop Methods section, page 121.

Trauma and Stress

Among the compelling culprits for the autism epidemic, many of them
appear to have arisen or increased at roughly the same trajectory. This
complicates the task of identifYing a single smoking gun. The pervasiveness and multiplicity of environmental traumatic factors makes it
impossible to isolate a dominant stressful factor.
Fetal Distress and ASD

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~ed autism risk fivefold. Babies with blood types incompatible With their 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." 36

Disruption of the Infant Microbiome

The health of the human microbiome has considerations for pregnancy,
birth and early mothering.37 The human microbiome is the collection of
bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc., that live in and on the body. When living
in harmony with one another we have the healthful state of symbiosis.
According to Peggy Simkin 38 the following widely seen practices occurring within three days of a baby's birth are disruptive to the baby's microbiome, promoting a state of dysbiosis:
Premature birth
Birth by planned or unplanned cesarean
Antibiotics given to mother and/ or baby
Held first by medical staffer before mother
Time lapse after birth before mother held baby
Wrapped in hospital blanket for first contact with mother
Held by non-parents (family, friends, staff) in first hours after birth
Early bath (before 24 hours of age)
Fed with formula or glucose water
Stayed in nursery without parent

Iatrogenic Perils for the Fetus and Neonate

Many kinds of iatrogenic fetal distress are possible. Below are some of the
most common:
Washing Off the Vernix Caseosa 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 Homeopathy 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.
Cord Clamping 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, 39 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
f i l i ; 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
ACOG (The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) for
cord blood pH determination. In current obstetrical practice, naturallyoccurring cord closure is almost never permitted, obstetricians and
pediatricians being oblivious to any danger incurred by immediate cord
clamping."

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 correlate 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 childhood 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 explanation. 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.
70
Pharmaceutical latrogenesis
Pitocin: A synthetic form of oxytocin (the "bonding hormone" that promotes attachment between mother and child), it promotes contractions
during labor and is given when labor is delayed (according to the obstetrician'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 (anticontraction medication) used to prevent premature labor has been implicated by German homeopath Dr. Andreas Richter in immature regulation in infants, causing them to be over-excited and over-reactive to
the most minimal stimuli, causing them to scream incessandy. 42 Intolerance 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 baby's lungs develop.
Terbutaline's fetal or neonatal side effects include problems with the heart
(rap~art rate and birth defects of the heart). It also includes problems
with blo6a sugar level control, another major theme for some autistic
kids, who)crave sweets and melt down emotionally when they get hypoglycemic. In instances where terbutaline had been administered to delay
premature labor, the tautopathic use of this drug (i.e. Terbutaline as a
homeopathic remedy) has been beneficial in our ASD practice.

71
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 serotonin 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:
It is a scientific fact that serotonin plays a crucial role in the development 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 substances 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 pregnancy, 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.
Ultrasound: A study of 2,834 women reported in the Lancet indicated
that the babies of a randomly chosen subset of 1,415 women who received five sonograms (ultrasounds) as compared to the other subset of
1,419 who had had but one scan at 18 weeks, were found more likely to
have smaller fetuses, indicating abnormal development. 44 Jennifer Margulis in The Business ofBaby reports the work of Pasko Rakic, MD, a Yale

University School of Medicine neuroscientist who has found that ultrasound waves cause the neurons of prenatal 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 promote 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 divergence 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 development, glial cells derived from ectodermal tissue commandeer the migration of neurons and also synthesize the
molecules modifYing the growth of axons and dendrites. 47 It can thus be
supposed that ultrasound poses an environmental threat to the neuroglia
whose role in ASD will shortly be discussed.
In the journal !nterhomeopathy Nancy Frederick presents a case where she
prescribed homeopathic Ultrasound for an individual featuring precocity,
intellectual detachment and deja vu. 48 This suggests that homeopathic
Ultrasound deserves consideration as a remedy for ASD.

Prenatal Maternal Stress and ASD

Traditional Chinese Medicine's concept of the Corporeal Soul, the Po,
germinating within the mother and the fetus that it supports, provides
context for the mother's disproportionate importance to the health of
both fetus 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
disorder (ADHD)." 49 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 of conception, pregnancy, labor and delivery.
Reproductive Technology
As a general observation, children appearing in my clinic who were born
via one or another form of fusisted Reproductive Technology (ART) tend
to be less robust than those conceived naturally. Sometimes infertility is
Nature's way of protecting a family from having a special-needs child. It
can indicate the presence of the syphilitic (destructive) miasm and Kidney
deficiency. The connection between ASD and ART is also implied by
these factors:
1. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) allows severely compromised
~ sperm to fertilize an egg. This is an example of how infertility would
' have protected the parents from having an unhealthy child. ICSI fosters
the migration of undesirable genetic and epigenetic elements into the
fertilized egg that natural fertilization would have screened out.
49 Angelica Ronald, Craig E. Pennell, and Andrew J. 0. Whitehouse
74
2. Pregnancy in older women becomes difficult, then impossible, as

another protective mechanism, this time protecting the aging body
against undue stress. Clomid is prescribed to trick the body into
ovulating against, in a sense, its own better judgment. The resulting
problems can include ovarian enlargement and adrenal fatigue.
3. ART typically produces multiple pregnancies. Twins and triplets are
more likely to have premature birth, C-section, and all the attendant
drug interventions which are linked to autism and many other problems down the road.
4. Embryos cultured in a lab are typically exposed to 20% oxygen
instead of the normal 5% in the mother's womb. Current research
is investigating how these oxygen levels affect methylation and if so,
whether they should be reduced. 50 Remember from page 50 that
dysfunctional methylation is a major problem in many people on the
autistic spectrum.
Toxic Burden
Pharmacological Burden
There are two myths about pharmaceutical drugs: one, that they are
inherently safe, and two, any dangers are the result of human error, illicit
drug usage, or drug interactions with multiple drugs being given at once.
(Somehow multiple vaccinations given at once do not raise a red flag for
safety). The likelihood that pharmaceuticals are intrinsically dangerous
is persistently evaded, despite (just to take one example) evidence that
thousands of medications damage the mitochondria, the cells' powerhouse. 51 The myth that pharmaceuticals do not significantly contribute
to toxic load is baffling in the face of toxicity from vaccination and the
FDA-documented fact that adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a leading

cause of morbidity and mortality in health care. 52

Homeopaths possess firsthand knowledge of the imprint left by
pharmaceuticals:
Homeopaths in practice see a telltale sickness-and-recovery pattern
accompanying tautopathic treatment (in which, via dilution and
succussion, a particular drug 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
vaccination suddenly causing total loss of speech in a child who previously had age-appropriate words and sentences.
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 medical 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 estimate given by John James of Patient Safety America, an advocacy group, recently estimated
that 440,000 Americans die every year from tragic medical errors.(FOOTNOTE: http://
commonhealth. wbur.org/20 14/ 12/medical-errors-millions)
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 likely 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,
for the most part, preventable. http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ DevelopmentApprovalProcess/

Vaccination Imprint
Setting aside their known, individually harmful ingredients (such as
mercury, 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.
Symptoms specific to each vaccine can be jumbled together with
symptoms latent or pre-existing in a patient. The etiology is disentangled only retroactively as a result of effective treatment.
They deliver us into the hands of what might be described as genuine
immuniry's impostor cousin. According to Richard Moscowitz, MD,
comparing immuniry acquired by childhood disease with that conferred 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. It can elicit long-term antibody production solely by surviving
in latent form in the lymphocytes and macro phages of the blood. Bur
then the vaccinated individual would have no way to get rid of it, and
the technical feat of antibody synthesis could at most represent the
memory of this chronic infection. Nobody would be foolish enough
to argue that vaccines render us 'immune' to viruses if in fact they
merely weakened our abiliry to expel them and forced us to harbor

them permanently instead. 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 and mental diseases, autoimmune phenomena, cancer,
and indeed the whole spectrum of pediatric and adult medicine.
Some Key Vaccinations and their Formulations

A comprehensive source of information on vaccination ingredients from
which the Notes information is drawn can be found at http ://www.
immunize.org/packageinserts/pi_diphtheria.asp:
DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis) -Various brands contains three
germ and toxoid components, formaldehyde (necessary to to detoxifY the
germs grown in culture), aluminum so as to enhance the vaccine's effect
and various preservatives. 54
HiB (Haemophilus Influenzae Type B) - Four kinds are produced: a
polysaccharide conjugate vaccine using bacterial sugars and bonds (the
54 The ingredients of a representative example, Daptacel are: 0.5 mL dose contains 15 Lf
diphtheria toxoid, 5 Lf tetanus toxoid and acellular pertussis antigens [10 meg detoxified
pertussis toxin (PT), 5 meg filam entous hemagglutinin (FHA), 3 meg pertactin (PRN), and 5
meg fimbri ae types 2 and 3 (FIM)]. Other ingredients per 0.5 mL dose include 1.5 mg aluminum phosphate (0.33 mg of aluminum) as the adjuvant, :o;5 meg residual formaldehyde, <50
ng residual glutaraldehyde and 3.3 mg (0.6o/o v/v) 2-phenoxyethanol (not as a preservative).

conjugates); a live-virus form; a whole-germ form in which the germ has

been killed; and a genetically engineered recombinant vaccine. 55 Various
forms contain aluminum and formaldehyde. 56
POLIO - According to Sears 57 contains three inactivated viral strains,

preservatives, formaldehyde, and the residual effects of three antibiotics. 58
MENINGITIS C - According to Sears5 9 a polysaccharide conjugate

vaccine similar to HIB and Pneumococcus. 60
55 Sears, Robert W , MD, The Vaccine Book, Little Brown & Co. New York 2007 pg. 7.
56 Six forms are listed. A representative example is Hiberix containing Haemophilus b
capsular polysaccharide (polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate [PRP]), a high molecular weight
polymer prepared from the Haemophilus influenzae type b strain 20,752 grown in a
synthetic medium that undergoes heat inactivation and purification. The tetanus toxin,
prepared from Clostridium tetani grown in a semi-synthetic medium, is detoxified with
formaldehyde and purified. The capsular polysaccharide is covalently bound to the tetanus
toxoid. After purification, the conjugate is lyophilized in the presence of lactose as a stabilizer. The diluent is a sterile saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride) supplied in prefilled
TIP-LOK syringes. When reconstituted with the accompanying saline diluent, each dose is
formulated to contain lO meg of purified capsular polysaccharide conjugated to approximately 25 meg of tetanus toxoid, 12.6 mg oflactose, and 0.5 meg of residual formaldehyde.
57 Sears pg. 76.
58 Four forms are listed. A representative example, inactivated !pol is formulated to contain 40 D antigen units of Type 1, 8 D antigen units of Type 2, and 32 D antigen units of
Type 3 poliovirus. For each lot of !POL vaccine, D-antigen content is determined in vitrousing the D-antigen ELISA assay. !POL vaccine is produced from vaccine concentrates
diluted with M-199 medium. Also present are 0.5% of2- phenoxyethanol and a maximum
of 0.02% of formaldehyde per dose as preservatives. Neomycin, streptomycin,and polymyxin B are used in vaccine production.
59 Sears, pgs 138-39.
60 Five forms are listed. A representative example, MENVEO
contains N. meningitidisserogroup A, C, Y and W-135 oligosaccharides conjugated individually to Corynebacterium diphtheriae CRM197 protein. The polysaccharides are
produced by bacterial fermentation of N. meningitides (serogroups A, C, Y or W-135).
N. meningitidisstrains A, C, Y and W-135 are each cultured and grown on Franz Com-

MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) -According to Sears 61 contains three

viruses, saline solution, sugars, gelatin, human albumin, residual cow
fetus serum, antibiotic, chick embryo protein traces, unlisted buffer and
media ingredients. 62
According to Dr. Stephanie Seneff 63 MMR is one of the few vaccines
that contain glutamate. In conjunction with the widely-prevalent pesticide glyphosate, glutamate opens the blood brain barrier carrying aluminum to the brain, as well as outside the brain to the pineal gland. This
disrupts the production of trytophan and melatonin, offsetting the sleep
cycle as well as the production of melanin (which is why autistic children
so often cannot tan).
plete medium and treated with formaldehyde. MenA, MenW-135 and MerrY polysaccharides are purified by several extraction and precipitation steps. MenC polysaccharide is
purified by a combination of chromatography and precipitation steps. The protein carrier
(CRM197) is produced by bacterial fermentation and is purified by a series of chromatography and ultrafiltration steps. C. diphtheriae is cultured and grown on CY medium
containing yeast extracts and amino acids. The oligosaccharides are prepared for conjugation from purified polysaccharides by hydrolysis, sizing, and reductive amination. After
activation, each oligosaccharide is covalently linked to the CRM 197 protein. The resulting
glycoconjugates are purified to yield the four drug substances, which compose the final
vaccine. Residual formaldehyde per dose is estimated to be not more than 0.30 f!g.
61 Sears pg. 88.
62 Two forms are listed. A representative example is Proquad, a combined, attenuated,
live virus vaccine containing measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella viruses. ProQuad is a
sterile lyophilized preparation of ( 1) the components of M- M-R II (Measles, Mumps, and
Rubella Virus Vaccine Live) : Measles Virus Vaccine Live, a more attenuated line of measles
virus, derived from Enders' attenuated Edmonston strain and propagated in chick embryo
cell culture; Mumps Virus Vaccine Live, the Jeryl Lynn- (B level) strain of mumps virus
propagated in chick embryo cell culture; Rubella Virus Vaccine Live, the Wistar RA 27/3
strain oflive attenuated rubella virus propagated in WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts;
and (2) Varicella Virus Vaccine Live (Oka/Merck), the Oka/Merck strain of varicella-zoster virus propagated in MRC-5 cells.

HEPATITIS B- According to Sears 64 a recombinant vaccine using DNA

from the Hep B virus integrated into yeast cells and includes aluminum,
and formaldehyde. 65
64 Sears, Robert W, MD, The Vaccine Book, Little Brown & Co. New York 2007 pg. 54
65 Five forms are listed. A representative example is TWINRIX [Hepatitis A & Hepatitis
B (Recombinant) Vaccine], a bivalent vaccine containing activated hepatitis A virus (strain
HM175) and noninfectious hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). The hepatitis A virus
is propagated in 8 MRC-5 human diploid cells and inactivated with formalin. The purified
HBsAg is obtained by culturing genetically engineered
Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells, which carry the surface antigen gene of the hepatitis
B virus. Bulk preparations of each antigen are adsorbed separately onto aluminum salts and
then pooled during formulation. A l -mL dose of vaccine contains 720 ELISA units of inactivated hepatitis A virus and 20 meg of recombinant HBsAg protein. One dose of
vaccine also contains 0.45 mg of aluminum in the form of aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide as adjuvants, amino acids, sodium chloride, phosphate buffer, polysorbate
20, and Water for Injection. From the manufacturing process each l-mL dose also contains
residual formalin (not more than 0.1 mg), MRC-5 cellular proteins (not more than 2.5 meg),
neomycin sulfate (an aminoglycoside antibiotic included in the cell growth media; not more
than 20 ng) and yeast protein (no more than 5%).
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 cognitive 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 . Among these I recommend the Uncia
products Gammadyn CuAuAg (Copper Gold Silver) and Gammadyn
Mn Co (manganese cobalt).
82
2. to open the drainage routes through the liver and especially the kidneys
(with Unda numbers 1, 2, 44, and 258 , for example) and
3. to prevent the metals released into the bloodstream from being reabsorbed in the gut or deposited in other tissues prior to being eliminated. 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
Other gentle chelation-assisting agents include:
Milk thistle seed extract
Dandelion leaf extract
Garlic bulb (allium sativum)
Cilantro leaf extract
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine
Foot clay packs (put on a child's feet overnight) . As clay has an affinity for metal, make sure it does not already contain heavy metals by
looking for assurances of the highest level of purity.

Pesticides
Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides and antimicrobials are
all pesticides. Readily available in spray cans and crop dusters, household
cleaners, hand soaps and swimming pools, they are acutely toxic for the
human nervous system.
RoundUp and atrazine, the two most widely-used pesticides in the
world, present chronic exposure risks such as cancer and reproductive
harm. Fungicides, also used in large amounts, can also be harmful. 66 A
66 RoundUp's key ingredient glyphosate impairs the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene pathway responsible for producing enzymes that form and also catabolize molecules in cells.
These include the enzymes that create the stress hormone cortisol; that convert androgen
(a male hormone) into estrogen (a female hormone); and that The numerous vital CYP
enzymes include aromatase, responsible for enzyme converting androgen into estrogen,

83
principle culprit, glyphosate, inhibits CYP enzymes, which has rippling

effects throughout our body. 67 Farmers are trapped on a treadmill, as
insect resistance to the poison causes them to use increasingly toxic and increasingly expensive - chemicals to control insects and weeds that
have developed resistance to earlier pesticides. 68 Considering glyphosate's
widespread use, its toxicological profile especially in regard to liver function69 establishes it as a major player with regard to the autism epidemic
as we have already seen in Stephanie Seneff's earlier discussion of glyphosate's synergy with glutamate in regard to the MMR vaccine.
Monosodium Glutamate
As will be discussed shortly in the context of excitotoxicity (see page 87),
glutamate (a primary amino acid involved in brain growth) triggers unwanted
proliferation and differentiation of brain cells when used in excess. Autistic
children may suffer from too many neural pathways (hence their hypersensitivity to stimuli) rather than too fiw, as one would assume of clients with
developmental delays. Monosodium glutamate, a pervasive food additive,
is also an ingredient in over a dozen vaccines. As John Erb has argued in
The Slow Poisoning ofAmerica, it may contribute to autism, especially when
regression occurs at the age of several months. Again, our caveat about the
multiplicity of possible causative factors: was there an unusual degree of
exposure to MSG and can it be related to the specific onset of autism?

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 gutblood barrier, thus protecting the brain and bloodstream from toxins.
When dysregulated, they play a role in inflammatory bowel disease, gut
permeability, auto-immune disease, and the gut dysbiosis (microbial disharmony) which shows up in many children with ASD.
An Overheated Nervous System and Brain Inflammation

Glial overload is a new concept referring to systematic metabolic degeneration leading to a general overheating of the nervous system's neuroglial
cells in ASD and related conditions. (Note the similarity to the degeneration 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 Gut
Why might gut glia become dysregulated? Toxic overload is one answer,
because toxins can affect any cells. But what about genetic and epigenetic
causes that prompt gluten sensitivity and celiac disease? A developmental
explanation is helpful. As we develop from child to adult, our intestines
70 The following discussion owes much to the writings of Dr. Martha Herbert, especially her
book The Autism Revolution.

85
must rise to the challenge of breaking down food so that the immune system
can fully mature and the microbiome (i.e. gut flora) can be well balanced.
The ileocecal valve is the nutritive hinge between the inner and outer
universe, just as the lungs are the respiratory hinge between the inner and
outer universe. 72 (TCM's Small Intestine/ Heart relationship thus reflects
how the intestines augment the sense of self, with the Heart representing
one's soul). That a strong sense of self and confidence among one's peers
reflects Small Intestine/Heart balance is borne out by a recent discovery
that the gut's germs influence our behavior: the behavioral preference of
germs in a healthy microbiome is for the host to be socially adept, able to
bond with others.73
Leaky gut, on the other hand (the breakdown of the mucosal lining),
reflects a sense of general danger such as can prompt inflammatory
anxiety and the diminished ability to overcome social and other challenges within the sense dimension of Taste. As will be mentioned in the
materia medica section, the biotherapeutic drainage remedy Unda #50
and its companion remedies address the leaky gut issues underlying ASD.
Synaptic Overload, Diminished Autophagy

Normal neuronal development features a cellular clearing out process or
pruning of unneeded pathways. Thus typically a 19 year old will possess
41% fewer synapses (neural connections) than a toddler. In a discovery that sheds light on ASD individuals' hypersensitivity to noise, social
interaction, and the tendency to seizures, Columbia University researchers have found that autistic teenagers have only 16% fewer neuronal
72 The ileocecal valve, positioned between the ileum (last portion of your small intestine) and the cecum (first portion of your large intestine) is a hinge in that it has the dual
function of allowing digested food materials to pass from the small intestine into your
large intestine while also blocking waste materials from backing back up into your small
intestine.

86
protrusions (called spines)?4 In other words, autistic children have too

many connections in their brain's network, rather than too few. The result
is too much "cross-talk" and excessive stimulation, presumably accounting
for their hypersensitivity. We may intuit the existence of a connection
between the two forms of overload, although the link has not yet been
found. In any case, neural glut involves an excess of synaptic connections, 75
non-desired neuronal cell death, and dysfunctional cellular connectivity.
Mitochondrial Damage
Miniscule organelles found inside each cell of the human body, the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell due to their importance in generating 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 burning up energy. Yet the body must do so
carefully, so as to not create anything too "hot" to handle. As food is
broken down into energy, each step of the pathway is regulated by an
enzyme, which in turn is designed by a particular gene. But genes can
mutate because of environmental stress, infection, toxic buildup, or pharmaceutical drugs. This can result in an "excitotoxic cascade" in which

to
trim synapses as they develop. New
75 This excess can in fact lead to deficiency as synaptic connections are destroyed. This
is consistent with a Chinese Medicine principle that an excess can generally lead to a
deficiency.
Conceptual Tools: Mitochondrial Damage
87
inflammation damages key parts of the cell, including the mitochondria.

In particular, the mitochondrial energy function can shut down, causing
the lack of energy seen in some autistic children.76
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 MSG (monosodium glutamate) and other forms.
Glutamate receptors are synaptic receptors located primarily on the
membranes of neuronal cells. Glutamate (glutamic acid), abundant in
the human body but particularly in the nervous system and in the human
brain, is the body's most prominent neurotransmitter, the brain's main
excitatory neurotransmitter. It is also the precursor for GABA, the brain's
primary inhibitory neurotransmitter.7 7
Although the synergism of environmental and metabolic toxins can be
blamed for neurodegenerative diseases such as autism, chronic microglial
activation provides the pivot.
Excitotoxicity and Neural Auto-immunity

Homeopaths know that suppressing an acute illness leads to its reappearance as a chronic condition. In parallel fashion , suppressing excitotoxicity
only exacerbates the vicious cycle and deepens the groove it carves. Once
it becomes an ingrained characteristic, excitotoxicity can be interpreted
as autoimmunity. Consider the following examples:

88
PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated

with Streptococcus), The etiology of PANDAS is suspected to be similar
to that of rheumatic fever, an autoimmune disorder arising from repeated
strep throat infections. In normal bacterial infections, the body produces
antibodies to fight invading bacteria. In rheumatic fever, via a process
known as molecular mimicry, the antibodies mistakenly target the heart
valves, joints, and/or certain parts of the brain due to proteins on the cell
wall of the strep bacteria somehow resembling the proteins of the heart
valve, joints, or brain. In PANDAS, apparently, it is the basal ganglia
(the part of the brain responsible for movement and behavior) that the
antibodies attack and that thereby causes tics and/or OCD.7 8
Evidence mounts that broad-spectrum antibiotic abuse is calling forth yet
another antibiotic resistant bacteria, this time streptococcus. 79 Its enlarged
presence among children we may presume to be a factor in the rise of
PANDAS. Easily imagined also, how increased pressure on the immune
system from a superbug Staph bacteria can trigger legitimate but also hysterical versions of molecular mimicry and an autoimmune cascade.
Though dosing with the remedy Streptococcinum is occasionally a
useful tautopathic strategy, a more promising approach is biotherapeutic drainage with Unda remedies and gemmos. Conjoint with
such clearing and draining tactics, naturopathic physician Anjelica
Lemke reports that approximately fifty percent of her PANDAS
patients respond well to either Ignatia or Carcinosin (or an alternation between these remedies). Given their characteristic emotional
and immune-system-suppressing features, Ignatia and Carcinosin
help dislodge Streptococcus from the neurological system. Other prescriptions Dr. Lemke commonly uses include Anacardium, Sulphur,
China, Aconite, and Lac caninum. 80

Demyelination diseases. A link has been established between multiple

(connecting fibers) of the central nervous system. The vulnerability of
this type of cell to excitotoxins has been established and confirmed in
laboratory animals, because protecting the animals against excitotoxins lessens the development of these MS-type disorders. 81

III Workshop Tools

Soft Focus Remedies
From the standpoint of constitutional prescribing an ASD individual
presents an amorphous picture, difficult if not impossible to match up
with the concise essence depicted by a well-established homeopathic
remedy. Thus, time and again our ASD work will prompt recourse to
what can be termed "soft focus" remedies. Neither intended or able to
function as a simillimum, they are useful nonetheless.
In this category will be found:
1. "smoking gun" or threshold remedies whose provings provide such an
ideal, general blanketing of the ASD picture as to compel consideration as "can openers" to open the case. Examples include remedies
made from the hormone oxytocin and from glyphosate, a key ingredient in pesticides.
2. bowel nosodes;
3. Meditative Proving remedies possessing general karmic themes resonant
with the ASD state (provings conducted by Madeline Evans et al.);
4 . Gem Essence remedies as beautifully described by Peter Tumminello
in his book Twelve jewels;
5. support remedies such as the cell salts;
6. combination remedies such as the Unda numbers created expressly for
supportive biotherapeutic drainage purposes.
Special mention should be made of another grouping of remedies useful
in the Sine Wave method because they resonate with the neonatal years.
They are recruited to perform a backup function during clearing or biotherapeutic drainage, just based on this resonance with infancy, even if
their themes do not match the case. These include
1. milks such as Lac Humanum
2. sarcodes such as the previously mentioned Oxytocin and Hippocampus

The Unda 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 repairing 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 impurities 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
Discri, Louis Reuter, and Anthoine Nebel in Switzerland during the
1920s and 1930s. The current system of sevenry-six remedies, which can
be mixed and matched, are a combination of plant, or plant and metal
remedies in homeopathic dilution. The plant remedies, usually in a 3x
to 6x potency, have an affiniry for specific organ systems. At these low
potencies, the plant's taste can still be detected.
The plants, familiar to herbalists and homeopaths, include liver herbs
92
such as Chelidonium (celadine) and Taraxacum (dandelion); asparagus

and juniperus Quniper) possessing an affinity for the kidneys; Valeriana
(valerian) for the nervous system; and Verbascum (mullein) for the lungs.
Certain remedies also contain a metal such as copper, gold, magnesium,
silver or lead (usually in a 12x potency) that is affixed to the plant components during the compounding process. In nano-medicine style the plants
deliver the specific metal to the appropriate organ system cell targets.
Biotherapeutic Drainage
The formulation of the Unda remedies is based on the principles of
alchemy, classical Chinese medicine and homeopathy wherefore (unlike
other combination remedies) their synergistic effect is well defined and
their morphic field, meaning their energetic recognizability, is strong.
The Unda remedies offer what is perhaps the most systematic means of
stalling or reversing the pathological direction of Reckeweg's six stages of
homotoxicosis. For practitioners or families seeking to conduct or participate in Unda number work at its highest level with regard to ASD and
other neurological conditions, the gold standard is the Seroyal company's
Brain Protocol. This approximately two year program combines Unda
remedies with other modalities such as gemmotherapy, oligotherapy, diet
and specific activities, each designed to revisit and reprogram seven stages
of the brain's development. A prequalification for the practitioner seeking
training and certification in the Brain Protocol is thorough familiarity
with the Unda remedies.

making sure to load up on Vitamin A-D-K-rich foods. Eating a balanced 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, constipation, and parasites. The strategy can include constitutional homeopathy, acupuncture, reduction in sugar consumption, and minimal
antibiotic reliance. So as to improve microfloral function: consumption 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 high-quality fish oil being optimal is also recommended.
Minimize consumption of large fish such as tuna due to mercury
content
Stop using alcohol, caffeine and tobacco.
Check vitamin D levels and add additional Vitamin D 3 if necessary.
Many studies are supporting the use of higher levels of Vitamin D than

Replace mercury-based amalgam dental fillings by a dentist trained in
doing this safely.
Patronize a "green" dry cleaning company (as PERC or perchlorethlene, the chemical used in most dry cleaning facilities, is a known

IV Workshop Methods
Method One: The Banerji Autism Protocol
A no-muss, no-fuss treatrhent protocol offered by Drs. Pratip and Prasanta
Banerji of Calcutta, Indfa. (American homeopaths have needed a much
wider variety of remedii s to treat autism, perhaps due to the weakened
Vital Force of American children.) 86 Each of the following lines of treatment is repeated for as long as it remains effective:
First Line
Aethusa 200 every third day
Calc Phos 3X - two doses daily
Hyos 6C - two doses daily
After three months, if diminishing returns switch to:
Second Line
Care 30 C - one dose every other day
Calc Phos 3X- two doses daily
Brahmi mother tincture once a day (derived from extracts of the herbs Bacopa
monnieri and gotu kola, usually combined with sesame oil or coconut oil).
After three months, if diminishing returns switch to:
Third Line
Stramonium 200 -every other day
Chamomilla 30 - two doses daily
Calc Phos 3X- twice daily
Parents should not attempt to do this on their own as this protocol
involves the frequent repetition of some powerful remedies. A professional
homeopath will know when the protocol needs to be modified based on
the child's response.
86 The stunning work of the Banerji family in developing homeopathic protocols for dozens of conditions is based on their clinic's successful treatment of tens of thousands of
patients and validated by modern diagnostic techniques. Research at MD Anderson in
Texas, the world's leading cancer treatment center, has supported their cancer treatment
protocol. For more information: www.pbhrfindia.org.

Workshop Methods: The Environmental Never Well Since Method
97
Method Two: The Environmental Never Well Since Method

developed and described by Farah Gron, CCH
ww. newlifohomeopathy. com
Th~e are perhaps many known and many as-yet-undiscovered contributin~
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 environmental and emotional traumas during pregnancy and delivery.
Inspiration for This Method
In the summer of 2009 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 pregnancy as well as 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 as their progress with these well-selected
remedies would appear to have hit a block.
At this point I remembered the success of two earlier cases where I had
addressed the Environmental Never Well Since, with remedies chosen
based on the toxins the child had been exposed to. These earlier cases were:
A child that had speech but suddenly lost it at age 2. His speech was
restored after he was given the remedy for the environmental intervention 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 as 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
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 vV~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 children on the autism spectrum that explores the results of giving homeopathic 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.
What follows has been extracted from my paper entitled ''A study of children on the autism spectrum that explores the results of giving homeopathic 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 isolated, 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.
Sometimes there is no identifiable event in a child's life that starts regres-
99
sion or there is no major regression happening at one time. This method

can be effective in those cases as well.
The goal of this study is to see ifchildren 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
important to keep in mind that each child is evaluated individually and remedies are selected based on their unique way of presenting symptoms of autism.
~e
;::~item at length later in the chapter.
is my overall approach in my practice with a new case. I will explain
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 1 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 necessarily 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 any 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.

General Guidelines 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 pregnant. It could be that the remedy in item 1 above is the same as this
remedy.
3~Loo 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 disorder caused by a drug or toxic agent with a homeopathic preparation 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. Determine the approximate time of regression and the most recent
traumatic blow to the child's vital force. Each such correlation represents a 'layer' in the child's case. Once a layer is cleared and further
102
2.
3.
4.
5.
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.
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 by Thuja.
The specific remedies for the syphilitic and cancer miasms are important. 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.
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 emotional remedy before.
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.
Posology
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,
3.
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.
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 infection following. Mucus discharges from the nose and in the stool are
ewed 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.
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 automatically be taken as an unwelcome aggravation.
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.
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
A
4.
5.
6.
103
104
drops from the cup, the test dose of the LM 1 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 regression 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 antidoting 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 ~em;dy 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.

Up from the somatic level,

level and up again,
or vice versa
Use classical

trauma.
The methodology refers to the alternation between moving "upward" to

the mental/emotional/behavioral level using constitutional homeopathy,
then "down" to the physical level with detoxification and drainage remedies, in a movement reminiscent of a sine wave. In all phases the practitioner must be prepared to deal with crises, regressions, aggravations,
and the effects of adjunctive modalities chosen by the families (which can
enhance, block or simply confuse the action of our remedies). In a sinewave-like rhythm, Uncia remedies, constitutional, "soft focus" and tautopathic remedies are interwoven with supports intended to clear obstructions due to pharmaceutical or vaccine influence. Gemmotherapy (cellular
cleansing via the use of embryonic plant hormones) and oligotherapy (the
use of biocatalytic agents that invigorate cellular function) may also be
used intercurrently, although these remedies are not intrinsic to the core
method because Uncia remedies alone are usually sufficient for children.
The core version of the Sine Wave methodology is composed of the following steps, the sequence of which and their content will vary with the
individual case. The steps are listed on page 120 then described in detail.

Specific Sine Wave Steps:

A. Preparatory Self-Help Program for Parents 88
1. Avoid environmental factors as much as possible in order to protect
children with genetic susceptibility. Give your child the best nutrition 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 additives, GMOs, preservatives and other waste products. Changing to
a gluten free, casein free diet (GFCF) in many cases brings about
major improvements. The GAPS diet, another alternative is based
on the book The Gut and Psychology Syndrome. 89 Also, see Specific
Carbohydrate Diet referred to here- http:/ /www.cease-therapy.com/
what-parents-can-do-themselves/the-specific-carbohydrate-diet/.)
2. If your child can tolerate gluten, use sourdough bread instead of yeast
bread so as to prevent the binding of zinc 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 of your 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 without 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.
88 Adapted from Dr. Tin us Smits' recomm endations in Autism: Beyond Despair.
89 http: / /www.gapsdiet.com/
122
5. Avoid as much as possible sugar, sweets in general and artificial sweeteners. Sugar is toxic to the intestines, pancreas, and other tissues and
inhibits the production of EPA and DHA, which are omega-3 fatty
acids vital to brain health. Artificial sweeteners are neurotoxins and
should never have been approved as safe by the FDA.
6. Provide a quiet and peaceful environment for your child, eliminating
excess stimuli such as TY, Game Boys or computers. You need to really
be there for your child.
7. Make sure your child is well grounded to the earth. Static electricity
may give rise to both emotional/mental disorders and physical complaints. Synthetic clothing, insulating shoes (rubber or plastic soles)
and synthetic Boor coverings (vinyl) should therefore be avoided. Even
wooden Boors with a thin plastic finish can be harmful. Have your
child walk around barefoot at home, and outdoors whenever it is safe.
Eliminate all electric appliances in the bedroom such as electric alarm
clocks, TY, computers or audio equipment. Turn offWi-Fi during the
night (and day). For the research on these principles, see by Ann Louise
Gittleman and Earthing by Clinton Ober and Dr. Stephen Sinatra (see
Bibliography, page 209).

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 is important for the
production of melatonin (sleep hormone).
9. Avoid antibiotics since they impair intestinal flora and consequently
increase underlying problems. In case of infection, opt for naturopathic 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 symptomatic 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 of antibiotics, 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. Do 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.
Add nutrients to maximize 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
124
avoid extra vitamin C, because vitamin C stimulates iron absorption.) The general rule is not more than 1000 mg per year of age.
So a child four years old can be given 4000 mg a day divided into
three doses a day. That means giving an ascorbate of 1OOOmg and an
ascorbyl palmitate of 500mg (3x 200mg of vitamin C), three times a
day. That makes 3600 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 practice, 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 addition, 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. Two month Unda number program

Best source of information: Unda Numbers: An Energetic journey to
Homeostasis andWellness by Dickson Thorn, JELD Publications, Portland,
OR 2006).
Workshop Methods: Preparatory Self-Help Program for Parents
125
Unda number remedy protocols are not set in stone. Ideally the prescription 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 oneweek 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 constitutional remedy will be more effective).
D. Heavy metal detox via mineralization and Unda remedies; tautopathic
clearing via the four-potency detox method; or constitutional prescribing
Where a strong toxic agent such as glyphosate is suspected, undertake
clearing according to the four-potency detox protocol below in conjunction with one of the kidney and liver supporting Unda number
combinations. The same idea holds in the event of an implicated co-infective 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. As it takes years to clear heavy metals, this step may be
126
interpolated at numerous stages of care. Recommended is interpolation of

the gemmo Sorbus Domestica reported to open the blood brain barrier90
and the Unda combinations 2, 48 and 258. Detoxification specifically of
the brain can be addressed with the combination 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 medications 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.
The 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 originating from the correct country, lab, and corresponding the matching
manufacturer and lot number, although this is rarely possible.) The clearing 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 Tin us
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 miasmatically 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-containing cell salts commercially available as Hyland's Nerve Tonic) .
The protocol described in Autism: Beyond Despair is more aggressive.
Instead of staying at the 30c potency as long as it is giving results, the original protocol changes the potency every two weeks, starting with a 30C,
then 200C, then 1M, then 10M 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 (with a recommended two week break between cycles). Surprisingly, very good results
can be obtained with this potency in many situations. This aggressive prescribing may work better for Dutch children, who may be sturdier due to
their healthier lifestyle: they receive fewer vaccinations and medications, eat
more organic food, and spend more time riding bikes and playing outside
in nature than American children. American children, who tend to be
more sickly, seem 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
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 hypersensitive 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 30C 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
protocol, and in general):
Liquid (sip) dosing of the remedy
Rosmarinum Officinalis or Juniperus Communis
(gemmotherapy liver drainers)
Betula Pubescens (kidney drainer, but also liver drainer)
Cell salts
E. Possible interpolation of a soft focus remedy such as a Meditative
Proving, Gem Essence, or Sarcode remedy
In the event that we wish to create movement in the case, have gained
a karmic or miasmatic insight (or found this is to be lacking) we may
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
pervasive toxicity of a substance such as glyphosate or MSG may be similarly employed.
Workshop Methods: The Sine Wave Method
129
F. If constitutional prescribing is effective, continue while bolstering

with Color/Tone remedies, gemmo remedies, oligotherapy and cell
salts. Address crises or outstanding features of the case such as language
delay with intercurrents (as suggested in the Materia Medica)
Any method of treatment drawn from the above steps may be bolstered
by the addition of Color and/or Tone, gemmo, oligo therapy, and cell salt
remedies as these can render less onerous: normal remedy processing,
clearing aggravations, and biotherapeutic drainage processing (which is
seldom onerous). Other remedies may have to be used intercurrently for
crises, whether remedies from the ASD-specific materia medica in this
book or from the general materia medica. The detox protocol should be
suspended during this time. Interpolation of an ASD-specific remedy
such as Teucrium for parasites or Gadolinium for delayed language development may also be indicated.
G. Assess and proceed in accordance with any of steps B through F above
Steps B through G may be repeated in any order, though depending on
the practitioner's familiarity with the Unda remedies these may be utilized adjunctively to constitutional prescribing.
Sine Wave Materia Medica
The full range of existing materia medica can and will come into play
during the treatment of ASD or related autoimmune conditions. The
following compilation of suggested remedies is divided among remedies
I have found possessing unusual and specific relevance to ASD and other
remedies whose situational relevance frequently arises. The practitioner is
urged to make a full investigation of any remedy under consideration. A
study of the Unda system with its 76 remedies is recommended, as only
basic suggestions are offered here.
Parents are kindly reminded not to try to treat their children based on
the remedy descriptions here or in other books about homeopathy for
autism. A professional is needed not only to see the remedy state clearly,
but more importantly to manage the roller coaster ride of ups and downs
that can ensue from a remedy.

glands has to do with high-level fulfillment of one's duty, relevant when
the theme emerges in the intake with regard to the child's parents or
familial legacy.
Also 0. A. Julian's formula for prescribing endocrine sarcodes for glandular problems at specific potencies:
3C or 5C to encourage functioning of a gland
7C to modulate I regulate a gland function
9C to suppress/inhibit gland functioning.
Sepia
Morning sickness, lower back pain, fatigue and snappishness.
Scrophularia nodosa
Often after grief.
Enlarged glands. Ailments of the breast. Eczema.
Calc Fluor Financial stresses for the parents or within the familial
legacy. The conjunction of Calc's concern with bone stability and fluoride's sudden instability expresses itself in glandular dysfunction prompting induration (excessive bone hardness and growth) but also brittleness.
Unda remedies Worth studying are the clinical approaches to addressing glandular imbalance within the Unda system. The two etiologies with
the greatest relevance to ASD are:
132
The Tubercular and degenerative etiology (paralleling developmental

endocrinology and in accordance with the above insight from the
Sensation Method, culminating in high level functioning) which suggests Unda numbers 14, 16, 21, 48 and 1000
Dysfunction within the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis suggesting Unda numbers 1, 10 and 245.
Leucorrhea
Kreosote
Where the mother has had a longstanding leucorrhea and
the child is slow growing and poorly developed.
Magnesium Sulphuricum Languor and staggering gait in the child.
Leuccorhea or eclampsia in the mother. Consider especially when
there is an inequality existing between wife and husband. I have seen
this expressed when the wife shoulders disproportionate breadwinning
responsibility and is physically more imposing than the husband.
Depression During Pregnancy

Cimicifuga Post-partum depression, feeling of black cloud hovering.
Awareness that motherhood poses severe constraint on her independence.
Sepia History of resentment and disappointment. Lack of clarity as to
her psycho-sexual position in life. Delusion that hope is toxic. Generally
stagnated condition (Liver Constraint picture in TCM).
Gelsemium Weary, faint-hearted pursuant to a setback. General heaviness and prostration.
Nitric Acidum Fault-finding, exacting, glass is half-full. Cannot forget
or easily forgives wrongs.
Natrum Muriaticum Self-contained, averse to consolation. Desires
intimacy but keeps it at arm's length. Delusion it is dangerous to express
grief. Overly responsible.
Unda #9 Basic drainage, all ailments of the respiratory tract. Assists
ASD Materia Medica: Pregnancy-Related Issues
133
the lungs both in the allopathic and TCM sense wherefore it addresses
grief from a drainage standpoint. On a moment to moment basis the
lungs provide the interplay between the external and internal terrains.
Inability to resolve centeredness vs disorientation in the dimension of
smell. (Adianatum capillus veneris, Glycyrrhiza glabra, lnula helenium,
Tussilago farfara, Arg met, Drosera, Grindelia, Potentilla tormentilla,
Cuprum).

Buddleia Meditative Proving remedy for pervasively experienced

trauma and shock.
Calendula No longer considered only for superficial wounds but to
treat deep trauma as well.
Liliflorae (remedy family described in Sankaran's An Insight into Plants)
The following remedies exhibiting jauntiness and loquacity may reflect
the issue of "Forced out vs. Held in" with regard to forcibly early or
restrained birth. They are worth considering in the related ASD case:
Crocus sativa
Veratrum album
Veratrum viride
Paris quadrifolia
Spurge/Rubber/Oils (Euphorbiaceae described by Sankaran, and
Petroleum as discussed by Mangiolavari) As words commonly associated
with these remedies include "constricted," "hidebound," "drawn backwards" their associated theme of "Compressed vs. Released" should be
134
considered where delivery has been compromised. May manifest as the

dinginess vs. bolting polarity:
Croton Tiglium
Hura Brasiliensis
Latex
Mancinella
Petroleum

The following remedies useful for dysfunctional bonding were highlighted by Tinus Smits in his Inspiring Homeopathy and used in the
CEASE protocol:
Cuprum Slavish rule-following, ambition, lack of connection to emotions. Look for rigidity among the parents.
Cup rum Cum Carcinosin Tin us Smits' amalgam of Care and Cup rum,
applicable when features of both are evident, which is often as the remedies overlap a lot.
Vernix Caseosa Made from infant sebum, wherefore the remedy state
reflects excessive vulnerability due to inadequate boundaries.
Anacardium Inner conflict theme wherefore alternately hard, unfeeling,
cruel on the one hand, and helpless on the other. Ameliorated by rapid
eating, stuffs himself
Rhus Tox Connection to past trauma cannot be let go. Like scar tissue,
the mindset lacks elasticity.
136
Hydrogenium The opposite end of the pendulum from Lac Maternum:

the client is so fully incarnated that the feeling of oneness with the universe is socially distancing.
Saccharum Officinalis Distractable, overly-affectionate, general
dryness, indecision, fruitless search for love because incapable of self-love.
Dysfunctional Mother-child bond

Ammonium Carb re sabotaging of a relationship with a father or authority figure after an initial idolization of that person.
DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
Baryta carb. and the other Barytas: these classic remedies are closely
associated with delays on the mental, emotional and/or physical levels.

or behavioral issues have been delayed and has been especially useful as
an intercurrent in cases of bedwetting.

Calc Carb
General "dampness" and psoric picture invites worm etiology.
Bio.film
The biofilm in the gut is a slimy community of micro-organisms,
attached to a wet or moist surface that include bacteria, yeasts, algae and
fungi only microscopically visible. In my experience, detoxification of the
biofilm addresses failure to thrive and promotes metabolism.
Scrophulariaceae These remedies, in my experience, are the most
effective for the biofilm. In accordance with Sankaran's attachment vs
non-attachment theme, these remedies have the general sensation of
sharp, sticking, stinging, stitching.
Key remedies in the family:
Digitalis
Consider for ASD in sycotic families, delusion of criminality.

SOLIPSISTIC STATES (living in one's own world)

Gases are especially useful for solipsistic states
We differentiate between the passive and dynamically presenting solipsistic states
Inert, non-reactive pole

Helium Entirely self-sufficient. Does not want stimulus. As if content to remain in the womb.
Hydrogenium Passively self-sufficient with no need of stimulus because feels already connected to all things. A state of oneness.
Ozone As the gas protects the planet, the issue of being hermetically sealed, protected. Inner gates leading to other inner gates so as to
fragment the personality.
Hyper-reactive pole
Bromium As sensitive to karmic issues as Phosphorus is to impressions. In the ASD presentation it is as though a past life's theme
"hangover" is choreographing emotional reactivity.
Fluorine "I am alone because am condemned." Volatile, incapable
of a relationship.
ASD Materia Medica: Solipsistic States 143
Neon Retreat due to identity denial. Contradiction aggravates.

Compare to Black Mamba.
Lanthanides
This group of remedies is also useful for solipsistic states because they
have they have a theme of trapped within or lacking autonomy, as per
Jan Scholten)
Cereum . Fearful of taking the first step toward autonomy.
Cereum Carbonicum In his or own world due to lack of identity
support from a parent. Fear of independent existence wherefore retreats.
Neodymium In his own world due to needing to prove his transcendence from it. Impervious to influence, mischievous.
INSULARITY
(one step removed from full solipsism)
Cereus Serpentinus (Cactus self-sufficiency theme elucidated by Massimo Mangialavori and Sankaran)
Chronex Fleckeri (Box Jellyfish). When there are huge polarities in the
case, amelioration from the sea, learning disability. Elucidated by Jo Evans in her Sea Remedies book.
Granite
Introversion with arrogance, pugnacity. Similar to Platina.
Magnetis poli articus (see also under EMF remedies): completely fenced
in theme as per Ulrich Welte case:
http:/ /www.interhomeopathy.org/fr-magnetis-poli-arcticus-a-short-case
144
Marble
Cold, haughty, emotionally distant.
OBSESSIVENESS
(Note: This feature of ASD may be seen heightened in children having
experienced the carrot-and-stick behavior modification of the ABA
(Applied Behavioral Analysis) method).
Causticum Perseverative anxiety. Sensitivity to emotional state of others among family and close friends.
Cuprum
Slave to rules. Emotionally cramped. Anger with screaming.

with intense remorse.
Naja Obsessed re the possibility of his or her harming or upsetting another. Wretched, overwrought with concerns. Everything is her fault.
Psorinum/Nitric Acid Complementary nit-picking remedy states. Psorinum from the standpoint of having an inner ledger, constantly tracking
gains and losses. Nitric Acidum from the standpoint that negative experiences are unforgettable, incontrovertible.
Rhus Tox Inelastic mindset in regarding the continuous presence of
past traumatic events. Cannot let go of them.
Streptococcinum Tormenting thoughts, obsessiveness, craving sympathy but also unworthy of it. Look for where there is a history of infection.
ASD Materia Medica: Obsessiveness
145
Tarentula hispanica/Aranea diadema' Restless spider states. Tarentula

destructive from grie Aranea diadema, despondent and morose with
restlessness. Both averse to touch.
Thuja Chameleon-like, wants to please others so forgets her own wants
and needs. Poor decision-making, not in her self-interest. Never Well
Since vaccination but also family fracturing. Mental gymnastics and anguish due to poor self-esteem.
Zincum Perseverating, complaining, easily upset. But also helpful.
Mental fatigue. Often where the father is remote or formidable.
MUTENESS
Gadolinium All dialogue requires some discord, wants, or reaction.
- This remedy is so self-satisfied as to negate the need for dialogue.
Lanthanum Phosphoricum Incomplete speech development. Psychic
doubt that is entitled to independence wherefore as in prophetic self-fulfillment, isolates.
Kali Bromatum Nothing one can say can overturn one's being in disfavor with the Supreme Being. Hence, little impetus to speak.
Alum In the wake of a compromised will, little impetus to voice a true
concern.
Convolvulus Isolated and speechless due to a sense of abandonment.
Out of this reality as in a drug state according to Mangialovori. Convulvulus (morning glory) has seeds that contain a substance similar to LSD,
making it a drug remedy.
HYPERSENSITIVITY
If due to lack of autophagy (synaptic pruning that normally occurs as
the brain develops), the biotherapeutic drainage method's effectiveness
146
would appear to reenergize synaptic pruning because it reduces the toxic

overload around the glial cells which interferes with this normal process.
Asarum Emotionally sensitive, great sensitivity to sound. Vacancy of
thought differentiates it from the spiders.
Butterfly remedies Lively, agitated, restless but mercurial. Abandonment issues. Patricia LeRoux's Butteiflies, An Innovative Guide to the Use
ofButteiflies in Homeopathy.
Hepar Sulph
With underlying vulnerability. Irritable.

productive activity.
Zinc
The most sensitive of the spiders. Un-
Troubled by the slightest problem. Unconsolidated energy.
Malar-co Where a legacy of persecution, injustice, poverty. Louis

Klein's Miasms and Nosodes a good reference.
BCG Vaccine Nosode (similar to Pulsatilla and Tuberculinum) BCG
utilized in Europe but not the US, so be on the lookout for BCG in the
vaccine history of children born overseas.
Lac equinum Milk of the horse. As with other milks presents with relationship issues. Here, due to the conflict between individuality and herd
membership. Horses are high strung so the issue prompts excessive frustration dysfunction related to organizational thinking.
ASD Materia Medica: EMF Exposure 147
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD EXPOSURE

Hypericum
Where the damage is understood to be chiefly to the nerves.
Kali phos Can be used as a cell salt in conjunction with the other Phosphorus cell salts, for example in Nerve Tonic by Hyland's.
Holmium fu with other Lanthanides, sensitive to subtle energies. Possesses unusual magnetic properties (wherefore used in atomic reactors)
but has no known biological function. fu yet unclear remedy picture but
consider in EMF sensitivity (a possible major contributor to ASD, see
Zapped and the Dr. Martha Herbert reference on page 209) .
Imponderables
These remedies, whose nature is explicitly esoteric as they deal with subtle
energies and exposures, are especially useful for EMF exposure. They can
be made from sunlight, moonlight, or X-ray for example.
Sol Britannica A remedy reflecting disharmony within the sense
dimension of Smell: general disorientation, indecision, unhappiness,
grief, wheezing. Look for when there is a legacy of dislocation in the
family's history.
X-Ray Myriad disturbances in accordance with x-ray exposure, key
would be return of old symptoms.
Magnetis Polus Arcticus Completely fenced into his own world,
forcing a slow pace by elaborating unnecessarily on details and talking
slowly (as per Ulrich Welte case, page 144)
EMF, Television radiation, and Mobile phone Tautopathic effects
in regard to the frequently associated symptoms of fatigue, sleep disturbance, head pain and mental confusion. Determine according to
exposure.
148
NEVER WELL SINCE VACCINE

In addition to the well known post-vaccination remedies such as Thuja
and Silica:
Carcinosin When there is a predominance of the Cancer miasm and
well-known Carci. traits. Carcinosin was the famously curative remedy
used for Dr. Amy Lansky's autistic son, described in her book The
Impossible Cure (see Bibliography, page 202).
An timonium Tart. Specifically in regard to effects of the smallpox vaccine. Though no longer given routinely since 1972, its use has increased
especially among military personnel in response to the terrorist threat.
Mezereum Intolerable itching. Where there is a history of emotional
suppression. To differentiate from Thuja or Silica, choose Mezereum for
Never Well Since Vaccination when the determining feature is a family
legacy theme of "I've had it up to here!"
CHILDISHNESS
Cicuta virosa
Neurological remedy, seizures, brain injury, childishness.
Sequoia Meditative proving remedy, also karmic remedy. Gives peace. Influences all chakra centers. Strongly supportive of pituitary gland function.

Opium Significant remedy, use often. Ailments from fright, shock,
humiliation, shame. Drug-like disengagement, escapist, powerful imagination, audacity.
150
!odium Frenzy and obsessiveness akin to terror that will starve.

!~tolerance of silence.
Unda #22 (best in conjunction with Unda #9) For neuro-vegetative
system drainage. A great intercurrent prescription as it helps resolve ASDpervasive anxiety, neurosis, nightmares, and nervous disorders. (Unda #9
works to promote neural homeostasis).
As If Possessed
Androctonos Cold, unfeeling, like a super verswn of Anacardium.

Hugely commanding,
like a super version of Platina or Cup rum.
Mandragora Where the scripting behavior goes beyond parroting.
The child's voice is entirely unnatural, unrelated to a known influence.
One would detect or assume an actual or else buried memory related to
exposure to violence. Try low potency first; have Belladonna on hand to
ameliorate if necessary.
Sapphire Unaccountably cold or cruel behavior. Aggressive, selfish,
possibly sexual in nature.

ALLERGIES
This Meditative Provings protocol can be used for allergies while the
ASD child is on a constitutional remedy:

very intense symptoms.
Belladonna
Ferrum Phos

Early in an inflammatory state.
Unda # 15 To get the best possible healing results from fever (by more
efficiently eliminating pathogens). Always do in tandem with Unda # 2
for fever. Five drops of both remedies, six times a day.
REGRESSION
(Note that regressive tendencies occurring during biotherapeutic drainage or pharmaceutical clearing may not need to be treated with a remedy.
Instead, let the drainage run its course and the regression should resolve
on its own, leaving the child in an improved state. If regressive tendencies
remain when the drainage phase is completed, use Saccharum officinalis and other Inspiring Remedies, the Matridonal remedies, or remedies
such as the following.
Baryta Carb Babyish, desire to hide, craving approval, developmental
delays.
Bufonis Reverson to primal impulses and behaviors. Licking, mouthing.
152

for amusement, masturbation.
SEIZURES
Often occur due to brain overload. See Roger Morrison's Desktop
Companion to Physical Pathology for an excellent list of possible remedies.
Or, if suspecting an autophagy problem (inadequate neurological pruning
due to overload) look to brain tissue sarcodes and Unda number remedies.
SEXUAL OVERSTIMULATION

anxiety by day and insomnia by night.
Noctigem
Gemmo formula.
Undas: Stress and Insomnia Support Set
154
KARMA (Miasms in the perhaps metaphorical sense)

Karma is understood here in terms of concepts recurring throughout
this book. These include memories, behaviors, creative energies, and the
impact of traumatic acts consolidated within Kidney Yang or the dimension of Hearing; the transmission of Hearing consolidated material to
the Hun or ethereal soul (equivalent to Jung's Collective Unconscious)
from where it becomes accessible to a newborn soul; family legacies of
illness, addictiveness or specific talents (that also fall under the rubric of
a miasm). Where karmic influence in and of itself is thought to have an
especial presence, remedies such as the following may be interpolated:
Bromium What Phosphorus is to external impressions, Bromium is to
the presence of karmic influence. Utilize when a child sees ghosts or spiritual entities; where there is a sense of the primacy of rebirth as a past or
current issue.
Meditative Proving remedies
Note: In addition to the ones below, all remedies in this two-volume set
merit study. Evans's analyses emphasize effects on or reflections of the
chakra system. Useful intercurrently in the Sine Wave method. Before
using, study each in depth.
Ayahuasca Releases darkness from ancestral influence, fear, grief,
hatred. Where the autism has an out-of-body quality. Influence on the
Heart, Thymus and Brow chakras.
Bay Leaf Highly syphilitic remedy due to its reflection of hidden
states, deceptiveness, emotional closedness; as opposed to Mere.,
however with mental slowness and confusion. Influence on the Brow
and Solar Plexus chakras.
Berlin Wall Where a legacy of futility, repression, and restncuon.
Split in the spirit. Powerful energy releasing remedy with regard to
entry to a new age. Influences Thymus gland and Heart chakras.
ASD Materia Medica: Karma

Buddleia To counter deeply entrenched shock and trauma.

Chalcanthite Autism with dyslexia; extreme fragiliry due to legacy of
trauma, medication abuse; vagueness of personaliry, lack of substance.

describing promotion to higher levels of spiritual awareness via lighting the way to truth especially among children reflects Swedenborg.
Influences the Heart and Brow chakras~ Similar to Slate, also worth
studying.
Rose Quartz Where parents maintain the child was reluctant to incarnate; a legacy of non-appreciation and manic-depression. Obsessive
thinking. Poor concentration. Opens the heart. Positive influence on
all chakras. Can be used in a positive way, to support unconditional
love and an open heart chakra in the exhausted parents.
Thymus Highly karmic remedy, deeply syphilitic. Supports Base,
Throat and Heart chakras. Important as it promotes release of many
sorts. Underused.
Viscum Album Regression due to past lives or karmic influence.
Gem Essence Remedies
Note: In addition to the two remedies below, the other ten jewels
described by Peter Tumminello merit close reading. They are "soft focus"
remedies that - like the meditative provings remedies - have an affiniry
for karmic issues, sexualiry, and creativiry. Reflective of spiritual concerns
within a family legacy they are useful intercurrendy as in the Sine Wave
method. Before using, study each in depth.
Lapis Lazuli Where parents insist the child's autism represents an
inner struggle for meaning, where there is also a need for amusement;
when there is a legacy of coldness in the mother.
156
Pearl Where there is a legacy of the self having been fragmented or lost
due to isolation, panic and fear. Images of darkness prevail.
CUTTING-EDGE SOFT FOCUS REMEDIES:

These are new remedies that await more clinical experience, with the
potential to be universally applicable. In addition to the Gem remedies
mentioned on the previous page:
Corpus Callosum The band of tissue connecting the brain's two hemispheres. A sarcode worth investigating in regard to visual impairment,
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
Four homotoxicosis. Barbara Brewitt's research cited in Patricia Lerner's
Envisioning a Bright Future indicates that low potency remedies made from
this sarcode can improve nervous system, immune and organ function.
Glyphosate Key ingredient in pesticides (discussed under Toxic Burden).
Especially where the exposure causes a Never Well Since situation.
ReJ?edy to use for detoxification.
Glutaminicum Acidum (Glut-Ac.) Remedy used by Reckeweg to
improve brain function in impaired children.
Hypothalamus The body's master gland responsible for homeostasis
within the autonomic nervous system. As of this writing not yet available
as a sarcode, although Diencephalon is available from Seroyal and can be
used for impulsivity for hyperactive kids.
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Aspartame Environmentally pervasive excitotoxins discussed within Toxic Burden.
ASD Materia Medica: Cutting-Edge Soft Focus Remedies

Natrum Fluorica 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 of water. 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 environmentally 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 University 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:/ /fluoridealert.org/news/is-dementia-caused-by-aluminum-through-fluoridation/

Appendix I Illustrative Cases

The most recent iteration of the Sine Wave method is illustrated in the
last case. The first four are included because they have a longer follow-up
and because they demonstrate how I choose to change remedies. Ifl were
doing them now, I would use more Undas and gemmos.
CASE 1
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 movements) 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 forehead. 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
160
Prior to being put on a gluten-free diet was non-verbal, did not understand 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 occasional. 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 prefer~ 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 lethargic. 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL 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 Cure prior to contacting me.
Appendix I: Illustrative Cases
161
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
H ypersensi tivi ty
Purposeless activity (hand wringing)
Aggravation from zinc supplementation
RX: ZINCUM 200C
One month followup
First follow-up. He remains lethargic, but the mother reports he is trying
to be more active. Is asking more questions.
Diflucan has been stopped. He is taking only grapefruit seed extract.
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 of any animal he sees or learns
162
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:
Continued malnourishment profile;
Looseness of joints;
Adverse effects of bad news (crying from refusal)
RX: CALC PHOS 200
Five weeks later
More energy! Does not get tired! Now prefers to move around. Suddenly
is highly impatient: When in the car at a green light, will urge, Go! Go!
If asked to wait, will scream, "I want to go in and play!" Eating more.
Seems we have to give him food all the time! Will eat two lunches in the
same day! Has become greedy. Will insist it HIS turn to eat instead of his
sister! Much more alert with other children!
Concern the family now relates:
He is not gaining weight or height;
He is back to fiddling with his fingers and stimming in various ways;
Sleeps in a fetal position;
163
Runs in a funny manner with feet outward, and one hand up and the
other down, all the while looking upwards, or downward;
Still some food sensitivities;
Has become self-conscious about his pooping, wants his privacy.
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:
RX: !ODIUM 200
Five weeks later
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.
"On 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
hug him.
"We did some tests a while back to check his bacterial and yeast levels.
I checked with his DAN doctor's office and they told me his bacterial
levels are higher and they prescribed an antibiotic called Gentamicin
and honestly, I don't want to give him medication. Is there any way
that we can work on it using homeopathic remedies? Please let me
know also if it will affect his homeopathic treatment. "
164
Notes from during the follow-up: The Gentamicin not taken. He is

doing great. Tremendous energy, running all the time. And now gaining
weight. Very impatient. Still screaming a lot. Cannot wait to eat. Craving
avocadoes, bananas. Especially hungry in the morning.
A lot of head shaking, some licking behavior. Seems to be practicing
visual self-stimulation, as with frequent winking of his eye.
Has become very friendly!
Repeating everything his older sister says.
Engaging in huge power battles with his mother.
No longer frightened of going on playground swmgs, yet cautious
generally.
ASSESSMENT: Another huge gain and evident shift into the important
developmental remedy, Lycopodium (based on the power struggles with
his mother, bossiness and dinginess).
R.X; LYCOPODIUM IM
Two months later
Child is doing great. Very good weight gain. Full of energy, less impatient. Wanting to play more with his sister as opposed to formerly being
more of a loner.
Still looks at objects, scrutinizing each one. Speaking more properly,

developing his language. Wants to do what other kids are doing.
Face has become rounder. He continues to eat new things.
Gets a bit possessive about his toys, though not with his sister.
Still some slight problem with understanding. Can still confuse "How
old are you?" with "How are you?"
Can be stubborn and willfully passive as if he is holding something back.
Resistant to demands and continues to notice very small details.
165
Appears not bothered by loud noise.

Mostly obedient, but if reprimanded may scream or vanish under the
table. Punishing him does not work as he seems to not understand it.
Time-outs do not affect him.
Has become more independent. Likes to line things up nicely, neatly.
DAN doctor HAS recommended further work with homeopathy.
ASSESSMENT: The strong attention to details, general holding back
and stubbornness point to a shift to Silica.
RX: 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.
Five years later
The child was brought back to my office, a typical eight year old doing well
in school but whose parents reported his behaving stubbornly, with indifference to behavioral consequences. He liked to cuddle with his mother,
complained of itching eyes and burping. He was given Kali Carbonicum.
166
Case #2
Boy, age six
Six month-long case illustrating: team approach (with jhuma Biswas) of the
four-potency detox method. Though there were numerous pregnancy stresses,
the persistent regression in relation to vaccines was the decidingfoctor. Mother
was prescribed for initially as well.
First seen- July 16, 2012
Short description Mom had a case of shingles 3 years before pregnancy. Pregnancy stressful emotionally (due to husband's older stepchildren not accepting
her) as well as physically. Tooth infection at 4 months, local anesthesia
used. Went into labor at 5 months and baby given steroids to help speed
the maturity of lungs. Given Rho gam shot at 28 weeks, sonogram every
month to check baby's progress throughout the high risk pregnancy.
Induced labor at 37 weeks, epidural and another Rhogam shot.
Child jaundiced at birth- UV treatment with belt for 4-5 days.
Hep B vaccine at 21 days old - high fever and listlessness.
At 6 months;of age, whole body shaking as if electrocuted after vaccination
Between 18-22 months, he started to take off and run without looking
where he was going; delayed speech, and also gibberish. Eventually, he
lost few words that he knew, didn't recognize grandparents, cousins, etc.
At 27 months, 3 ear infections back to back. Very hyper. Birth of sister
and death of grandmother. Hives, red cheeks and red ears.
Full anesthesia twice for ear tubes and surgery of torn tendon on wrist.
Asthma attack- then requiring breather with nebulizer and pulmocort
(steroid) - vocal sound of "EEEE" with tense excitement and agitation
with episodes of running back and forth
Generally, a loving boy, attached to parents and sibling; hyperactive,
occasional echolalia, has words, but not conversational. Social, but has
difficulty expressing the appropriate communicative responses. Dry
167
skin, rashes and patches on his face when he is sick or excited. Lives
in the moment and has a hard time realizing the difference of time and
when past meets present.
Orthomolecular support Ascorbyl palmitate- 450 mg 3 times a day
Zinc- 30 mg a day
Remedies and interventionsPrimarily four-potency detox protocol intervention in this case as it
seems he had regressed a bit after each round of vaccinations. A clearing
can take anywhere from four weeks to four months because I keep the
child on each potency as long as progress is being made.
Mother treated as well, prescribed Kali Iodatum constitutionally because
of an issue with emotional starvation within her family.
Hep A clear - already in the midst of this when started with us (prior
homeopath had left the country). We allow it to complete.
Thuia~ot much change with this

DTaP/HIB clearing - Break-though in communication during this
clear. Emergence of spontaneous conversation and increase of expressive
language, more talking and dialogue instead of one way communication. Gut issues resurfaced.
Gaertner bowel nosode (chosen on basis of Russell Malcolm's repertory)
protocol
Silica- (follow up from Gaertner remedy) good response, happy, singing,
not as resistant to transitions. Skin issues resurfacing and keeps getting
lots of colds and sniffles.
168
PCV7 dearing - Great breakthrough in communication and social connection. Increased cognitive capabilities and ability to follow instructions. His current challenges are hyperactivity and issues of skin rashes
and recurrent colds and flu like symptoms.
The child's awkwardness and timidity are less in evidence.
It is reported that the therapist who had made the ASD diagnosis now
says, it is one in a million children who change like this, and can no longer
justifY this child's diagnostic placement within the autism spectrum.
Subsequently, this child required treatment from me as a normal child
with garden variety ailments of childhood only. As of this date he continues to enjoy a perfectly normal childhood.
169
CAS#3
Boy, age five and a half
Nine month-long case illustrating:
Team approach (with ]huma Biswas) four-potency detox protocol methodology switching back and forth between constitutional care and vaccine clearing with nutritional supplementation. Mother prescribed for initially as well
Short description- Induced labor (Pitocin), feet in the canal, C-section

High WBC counts immediately after birth, projectile vomiting right
away whatever formula given.
No noticeable reaction to vaccinations except for a lazy eye 2 weeks after
the 2-3 month vaccination. Then after that a respiratory infection after
every round of vaccinations until the 15th month vaccination, after
which he was sick all the time with fevers, runny noses, rashes constantly,
pink eye, hands foot mouth, hives/urticaria thrush.
Then developmental delay - delayed motor skills, cognition, comprehension, and language. However he is very clever, witty, loving, handsome,
with -a gorgeous smile, contagious laugh and has an awesome memory.
Compliant, likes approval.
Cannot speak or socially engage with others, stimming behavior with
book-flipping; has fatigue, weak grip (cannot hold a pencil). Eating is a
battle, smells and gags on food. Lots of licking, and sucking things. Very
attached to mother, won't let her out of sight even to go to the bathroom. Very anxious when she leaves the room.
Orthomolecular support Started ascorbyl palmitate - reduced some of the hand-flapping and
stimming
Took him off zinc (to simplify the treatment and reduce liver stimulation) - discontinuing zinc took care of the gagging quite a bit, and he
wasn't such a picky eater anymore because of the zinc.
170
Remedies and interventions Mother prescribed for, given Carcinosin for difficulty saying "no" and
overadaptation to the needs of others.
Child:
Lanthanum Phos - Chosen in relation to communication polarity:
heightened on the one hand, suppressed on the other, suggesting the
Phos of Lanthanum a good try. Brought out intense licking and sucking,
aggressive behavior- hitting, biting ..
Chelidonium 3X for calming as needed, and for liver support.
Lac Leoninum - Helped tremendously with the aggressiveness, and the
licking decreased just a tiny bit
Comvax (Hep B- HIB) CEASE clear - Not many significant changes
after this, though problem of parasites was brought to our attention by
the family. Recommended doing a parasite clear with a naturopath.
Bismuth - Attachment towards mother resolved completely after this.
~
Baryta Carb - Constitutio.nal. Helped, but, didn't hold.

DTaP CEASE clear- Increased awareness, cognitive gains and receptive
language.
Three years later
Officially off all seizure meds with no slowing or spiking on EEG's. Licking
and sucking are 90% down. No longer hunting for things to put in his
mouth. Had 2 colds in the past 2 months after no sicknesses for over 3
years indicating return of vitality.
ATEC was 39 just two weeks ago, had been 54.
17 1
Case #4
Boy age five (pseudonym Harry)
Nine-months long case illustrating:
Team approach (with Linda Rhines), utilizing Matridonal remedies along
with Lanthanides and small remedy support. Mother as well as sister received
homeopathic care at the same time.
Shorr description from the parents:
Mild autism with speech delay, along with a photographic memory and
advanced reading skills by age three. Lacks the ability to concentrate and
follow any rules or boundaries of life. He is repetitive, always playing
with things in a certain way/order. He is demanding, but has begun to
show some emotion and awareness of understanding people's feelings.
Often in his own world or doing his own thing, staying alone or wandering around with a detached sense. A short attention span, so learning and
communication was tough.
Remedies prescribed:
Mother given Nitric Acid; older sister age 12, given Nat Phos and then
Nat Mur.
Harry given Placenta - Chosen in relation to deficient maternal bonding,
to enhance nutrition/early nurturing, address susceptibility to pneumonia and breathing issues.
Carduus 3X daily for two weeks - For general liver support, often indicated in ASD cases, especially when expressing anger. Mother noticed no
behavioral changes in relation to this remedy.
Two days later:
Harry diagnosed with pneumonia, representing return of old symptoms.
Remedy prescribed:
Lobelia 3x daily for two weeks. Organotherapy remedy in order to
support lung function following pneumonia bout. Continue Placenta
weekly after acute phase is over.
172
Over next several weeks:

Pretend play becomes increasingly complex and he shows heightened
sensitivity around social engagement. But Harry remains often angry and
bullheaded. Wants what he wants and screams until he gets it.
Response:
Got a cold again with a fever but only lasted for a day. Listening more
attentively in conversation and showing improved eye contact.
Two months later
Remedy prescription: Weekly dose of Lanthanum Phos 30 to improve
speech followed by Amniotic Fluid remedy so as to expedite processing of
lingering pre-natal griefs and extend the positive response from previous
Matridonal remedy, Placenta.
Response: Cried appropriately during movie and beginning to emulate
other children in their display of emotions. Mother intuits that he is
attempting to be a more genuine family member as in developing greater
closeness with his sister. Behaving in general more adventurously.
One month later in July
Highly possessive of his family re increased dinginess.
I
Remedy prescription: A new Matridonal remedy, Umbilicus 200. Idea

is to promote exploration of his identity along with his connection to
his mother/family. Another Lanthanide, Neodymium Carbonicum 30
(theme of needing to prove self-worth via autonomy) is given to hold.
Response: Use of expanded sentences, increasingly resilient/independent, i.e. quickly got over mom's arriving late to pick Harry up at school.
Playing more age-appropriately with blocks, expanded social skills, and
developmentally appropriate social behavior. Some temper tantrums, but
not nearly as frequent. He's hitting sister more but following directions
better. Has succeeded in toilet training himself. Continues to expand his
dietary palate to new foods. Remains stubborn and experiences difficulty
173
sharing or taking turns. Continues to suffer from asthma in the Fall. We

choose to not use the Neodynium.
Remedy prescription: Gallic Acid to extend the Matridonal remedies
work in relation to interrupted bonding. This is prescribed on the basis of
Jurgen Hansel's description of Gallic Acid's indication where social integration is hampered by fear of contact and anger (in the Autism edition
of Spectrum).
At conclusion of treatment
After nine months of treatment, homeopathic team could no longer find
ASD or homeopathic symptoms to prescribe upon. Harry placed in mainstream school; more engaged with the family and enjoying improved play
relationships with peers. He now comes across like a kid with ADHD
who is one year younger than he is. He speaks in longer sentences, and
has begun spontaneously singing to himself for first time. His play is
imaginative involving cars and games, but also word and number games,
cards, and puzzles. Mother has also come completely off of her antidepressants in the course of her treatment here.
17 4
Case# 5
Ongoing case three years to date team approach. Illustrating most recent
approach to case analysis:
Severe autism, identical twins
Age seven with identical delays and some differences in personality. They
are completely nonverbal. Brian is slightly more shy than Harold. They
babble and laugh, some sign language but no words. The mother's intuition is that the Hep B vaccine caused harm. They got it while separated
from her. Before leaving the hospital the children were already dehydrated
with very dry lips and jaundiced.
The mother alternately nursed them and gave them formula. Subsequently
they developed projectile vomiting to the point of being diagnosed with
esophagitis and receiving surgery for pyloric stenosis. This did not stop
the projectile vomiting. Only when the parents later discovered a celiac
issue and eliminated gluten from the diet did this diminish. However, the
digestive problems off and on remained.
As of the intake, still with reflux and constipation but finally gaining
weight. Low bowel motility. If constipated they tend to spit up. If given
Natural Calm will have liquid bowel movements.
/
Personalities: very active, sweet natured, pretty social with adults in that
they enjoy being played with Can make good eye contact, like to be
picked up and spun around, jumping on a trampoline. Enjoy the attention of children who are nurturing. When upset are prone to loud crying.
Unusual for twins: do not seem to acknowledge one another. Are sensory
seeking. Tend to squeeze objects in their grasp tightly, bend books backward, appear to lack hand tactility.
For a brief period Brian was a biter but out grew that. They are both
highly oral, anything and everything goes into their mouths. They chew
on things interminably. They both love water, swimming all over the pool
without use of floats. Enjoy looking at flowing water.
175
Their hot button is when things do not go as planned. They get more
energy as the day progresses with more energy in the evening.
Foods: not picky but cannot be given just anything due to allergies .. Used
to eat only sweet food that had been pureed. Prefer drinking water and a
small amount of stevia.
It is the mother's intuition that a major factor in the boys' regression was
the fifteen month vaccines (HIB, Pneumococcus).
MOTHER: During teenage years endured serial relocation of the
family. At age fourteen, traumatic transition from a small to a much
larger school. History of depression and anti-depressant usE for seven
months. Background in education and psychology. History of trouble
focusing, craves sugar and carbs. Sugar aggravates her mental clarity and
causes irritability. Tendency to foggy headedness and when eating too
much sugar difficulty focusing and thinking clearly. Huge intentional
weight gain prior to the pregnancy so as to nourish the children when also
avoided coffee, processed meats like lunch meat and hot dogs. Weight
gain following the boys's ASD diagnosis. Dislikes surprises, nosy and
inconstant people, conflict; troubled by household and money stresses,
I
FATHER: With an engineering background, laid back personality,

hypoactive thyroid gland.
ASSESSMENT: Predominantly featured this case is the persistent
stomach weakness, the history of projectile vomiting, reflux, constipation
and diarrhea. Traditional Chinese Medicine theory helps us to understand
this: Part of the problem can be ascribed to what TCM theory would
call Spleen Qi weakness. According to TCM the Spleen is an organ whose
overall function 1) can be taken as a metaphor for metabolism generally
and; 2) is responsible for promoting a descending movement necessary to
digestion. As TCM theory holds that the Spleen is harmed by an excess of
sugar one readily sees that the mother's lifelong issues with sugar remains
at play in her twins's Spleen Qi deficiency stomach weakness. Additionally,
176
blame for reflux can be laid at the door of another pathology, Liver and
Gall Bladder Damp Heat (reflecting stagnation of stomach energy and
inability to clear dampness such as causing diarrhea); and more generally,
Liver Yin deficiency (an internal dryness preventing from energies from
flowing in the body generally). These diagnostic Liver and Gall Bladder
patterns within TCM reflect or promote pathology closely related to
Hepati~is B. A working assumption would be that the Hep B vaccine
administered at birth and then again at one month would in the twins's
case have been a harmful influence and that a tipping point was reached
for their vital force when the fifteen month vaccines, HIB and Pc were
gtven.
Had I known in 2012 of the existence of the Unda number remedies and
their relevance to gastric insufficiency (from either the Western or TCM
perspective) I would have initiated the Sine Wave method with the following remedies that I am only now after three years using to good effect.
With the general idea of clearing the extra cellular matrix and addressing
acute and emotional aspects of the boys' gastric issues:
Unda 4: Promoting assimilation, for all problems above the pyloric
sphincter;
Unda 9: Synergistic support to eliminate toxins harmful to the Central
Nervous System and promoting neuro-vegetative homeostasis;
Unda 228: A combination supportive of nervous, digestive and endocrine function to clear stagnation related to grief or stress.
Following a week's respite, a second round of related remedies:
Unda 3: Supporting the entero-hepatic crossroads complex between the
small intestines, pancreas and liver so as to regulate assimilation of raw
nutrients;
Unda 4 and Unda 228 repeated.
Following a week's respite, a third round of related remedies. Having
cleared extra-cellular matrix deeper work in regard to opening the liver
and kidney emunctories becomes advisable:
177
Unda 1: General anti-toxin function to reinvigorate the liver, gall bladder

and kidney;
Unda 20: Addresses functional liver insufficiency, gall bladder congestion, hormonal dysregulation. Highly complementary to Unda 1;
Unda 243: Promoting of hepatocyte drainage, highly complementary to
Unda 1 and Unda 20.
Black Current phyto: (Ribes nigrum) Phytogen liquid. Complementary
to the Unda prescription, considered as a universal drainer capable of
broad cleansing capability system .
Having an effectiveness overlapping that of certain Undas, gemmo remedies such as Juglans, Ficus and Tilia have also been interpolated to good
effect at times within the care plan.
As the case actually went and continues ....
During the course of our care the children made remarkable progress
in many areas including socialization between themselves, friends and
family; improved immune function, and communication (though not
yet verbal); their gastric issues have also responded less slowly. Thus, I
can only suspect but of course, not prove that the twins's progress would
have been speeded and the effect of the other homeopathy enhanced, by
an earlier introduction ofUnda and also gemmo remedies such as we are
now usmg.
The mother was initially prescribed Sacch Off, a remedy I would begin
with again as it was apt and beneficial. The boys were given Aethusa 200
with Calc Phos 6X as needed. Over time the Sine Wave care plan:
Utilized remedies such as Ant Crud, Ozone, Digitalis, Naja, and Alumina;
Carcinosin and Carcinosin Cum Cuprum (as Saturday remedies with
clears);
Dys. co. bowel nosode in the 30, 200, 1M sequence;
Clearings ofHep B, HIB, MMR and Prevnar
My hope and anticipation is that verbal communication and improvement in the boys' gastric function is in the offing.

Using homeopathy to treat ASD is not adequate. Often we see the need
to unblock, detox, drain, repair, replenish and support. This can be done
before, during, or intermittently with constitutional prescribing. Here
are some adjuncts that we find useful and supportive on a regular basis.

HANDLE Method (ASD diagnosis and planning)

Provides a comprehensive observational assessment and individualized
program of activities, exercises and nutritional guidance that may be
implemented at home or in daycare situations. Includes recommendations for compensatory measures such as reducing exposure to extraneous
sounds in surroundings or lighting, activities to increase the range of
bodily movement incorporating specific tactile and vestibular activities.

Orthomolecular support
Vitamin C- Vitamin C plays an important role as an antioxidant. In addition to the water soluble vitamin C, fat sohible vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is often prescribed to reach the brain (which is largely composed of fats).
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. In stress
situations such as vaccinations, infections or other diseases, emotional stress
etc., extra vitamin Cis used and needed. For this reason Dr. Kalokerinos
178
Appendix II: Toolshed Resources
179
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 practically 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 palmitate 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 ascorbates by enzyme systems using NADH or NADPH.
Stimulates the excretion of copper and thus aids in the reduction of
stress. All autistic children prove to have elevated copper levels.
Aids and promotes the enzyme that transforms dopamine into norepinephrine (noradrenalin). This is a necessary step in the adrenal catecholamine 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 stimulating the intestine; too high a dose may cause diarrhea.
Fatty Acids - 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.
180
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, dyslexia 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 supplements have been marketed containing an EPAID HA 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 of omega-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.
181
DHA is especially important in the structure of brain cell membranes,

particularly in early childhood when the brain grows and later on in life
to retain flexibility of the membranes.
In children, 20% of the brain consists of DHA. EPA plays an essential part
in the short term regulation of brain functions such as hormonal balance, the
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 Bow to the cell.
They are also involved in the release and re-absorption of neurotransmitters
(chemicals that are essential in stimulus transfer between neurons).
Zinc- It is often said, "No zinc, no think." Zinc is a critically important
nutrient, enhancing cognitive function via its role in protecting neurotransmitters. 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 as they arise, after a constitutional
remedy or while doing the four-potency detox protocol, or while searching for a professional homeopath. They are very safe for parents to use.
Biochemic Tissue/Cell Salts

The nutritional use of these salts can help support cells during detoxification, thereby aiding detoxification and managing aggravations. These
are chosen based on symptoms such as Nat Phos for acid reflux, Kali
Phos for nerve inflammation and insomnia, Nat Sulph for brain/CSF
inflammation and liver support (the cell salts I most commonly use in my
practice with children on the spectrum).
The 12 cell salts are:
Calcarea Buorica (calcium fluoride) the elasticity mineral is found in the
cells of the bone, enamel of the teeth, and in the fibers of the skin. It is
182
generally indicated for relaxed muscle tissue.

Calcarea phosphorica (calcium phosphate) the cell benefitting mineral aids
the formation ofnew cells, especially bone cells.
Calcarea sulphurica (calcium sulphate) the blood detoxifYing salt is benefits
suppurating conditions.
Ferrum phosphoricum (iron phosphate) a component ofhemoglobin draws
oxygen from inhaled air and transports it to the blood.
Kalium muriaticum (potassium chloride) is beneficial during catarrhal conditions and glandular swelling.
Kalium phosphoricum (potassium phosphate), the nerve cell mineral is so
named for its benefit when an individual is weak, impatient, and emotionally sensitive.
Kalium sulfuricum (potassium sulphate) similarly to Ferrum phos aids the
transport ofoxygen to the blood. Useful in skin conditions.
Natrum muriaticum: (sodium chloride) is known for its affinity with the
body's fluid balance thus treats edema and also dryness.
Natrum phospho rica (sodium phosphate) neutralizes acids and aids the assimilation offats and other nutrients. Useful when there is hyper stomach acidity
Natrum sulphuricum (sodium chloride) aids excretion of excessive water
from the system, constipation.
Silicea found in the hair, skin, nails, and connective tissues indicated for pus
formation and suppuration. Aids the body's ability to expel foreign objects.
Chi Gong
Autistic children have sensory abnormalities within the sense of Touch.
They thus benefit from a protocol called Qigong Sensory Treatment
(QST) massage. As touch normalizes, children relax, achieve improved
focus and develop enhanced social awareness. Parents are instructed in
how to give the autism massage treatment daily. Treatment is typically
continued for at least a year. The Qigong Sensory Treatment Institute's
research indicates that children with severe autism move into the moderate range, moderate autism progresses towards mild, and mildly autistic
children can move off the spectrum.
183
Color and Sound Homeopathic Remedies

These can be very useful when a particular chakra seems to be out of
balance such as the throat chakra for impeded speech; or if a child is
particularly attracted to certain colors or sounds.
Gemmotherapy
These are very useful and excellent as drainage, detoxification and regenerative support for healing any organ damage before starting the four-potency
detox protocol, and for opening detox pathways in those who do not tolerate or respond to usual orthomolecular components. An easy way to get
started is with the Unda boxed sets that include a gemma. For training with
gemmos, contact Lauren Hubele at laurenhubele.com.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) treats autism by relieving stress on the
central nervous system. Therapists apply a subtle touch in order to
unblock areas of the body where cerebrospinal fluid has been trapped. A
fine and consistently useful adjunct to homeopathy and other therapies
in the treatment of autism.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is intended to reprogram the brain to create less stressful associations to everyday emotional
stimuli. Therapist-directed lateral eye movements are the most commonly used external stimulus bur other stimuli including hand-tapping
and audio stimulation are often used.
Alphahiotics
A gentle, non-invasive, hands-on process that sends a sensory input to the
brain communicating that defensive stress-laden response is no longer
necessary. The result: muscular teJ;Ision drops, weak muscles strengthen,
and energy increases to all parts of the body. Thought to achieve its effect
by balancing the two hemispheres of the brain. From personal experience
I can testify to the technique's profoundly relaxing effect.
Appendix Ill: Will and the Soul

in Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Yang in its Soul-Nature Garb
With regard to procreation the great and primeval Yin and Yang forces
garb themselves in their respective "soul-natures." The Yang soul-nature is
the Hun. Known as the ethereal soul, the Hun is said to reside within the
Liver. The Hun's immortal nature can be ascribed to the Yang's upwardly
thrusting movement in the direction of Heaven, where absolute values
and eternal truths reside. On the physical plane, man's fertility is unlimited like heaven where as women's is limited in the earthbound sense.
Comparable to Jung's notion of the collective unconscious, the Hun is
composed of dreams and aspirations that are both universal and personal.
Insofar as its boundaries are unclear, meaning that more than one individual or living entity may gain its access, the remarkable Hun (unlike
a private possession) is a non-local, transpersonal, and non-proprietary
state. This lends credence to comments from highly creative individuals
that they cannot claim purely personal credit for brilliance, since their
experience is best described as that of receiving as opposed to generating a
creative flash. In keeping with the Liver's responsibility for maintenance
of clear and morally upright thinking (along with that of its hollow organ
partner, the Gall Bladder which holds dominion over decisiveness), the
portion of the Hun to which we personally lay stake maps out the nature
of our individual will and sense of purpose.
When our days come to an end the question can be raised: Was our
individual will done, and was our purpose in our recently completed
life fulfilled? The answer returns (courtesy of the permanently upwardly
rising Yang, now separated from the Yin) to the question's own source in
the immortal Hun. Although reliable details concerning the afterlife are
184
Appendix III: A Chinese Medicine Perspective
185
in short supply, teachings within a sufficient spiritual traditions indicate

that it is here, or in a related symbolic representation of the afterlife,
that requisite alterations to, and modifications of one's residual will and
purpose are made.
Essence and
the Soul
Conception may be described as a sequence of hard-to-visualize energetic

events requiring unfamiliar but not easily improved upon traditional
Chinese terminology. It may help to know that every type of chi (energy)
essence, or type of soul models a species of consciousness. These "consciousness" modes may be likened to personalities. Once caught onto,
visualizing how these "personalities" interact is less and less abstruse.
Kmg from the universe projects the Hun into the body at a site known as
Ming Men or Gate ofLife. This is an acupuncture point located on the spine,
one intervertebral space above the line connecting the highest points of the
two iliac crests (roughly the hips). Through the Gate ofLife the Hun is conducted inwards to an important physical space located between a woman's
left and right Kidneys, and where profound and mysterious events unfurl.
To begin with, the Hun merges with its Yin counterpart, an earthly and
mortal, corporeal soul known as the Po, that is stored in the Lungs of
the soon-to-be mother. The two united souls form a single living being
whose life energy is fueled by an unbroken connection with Yang, streaming forth from the its source in the universe. Yet, this spiritual connection cannot be sustained without earthly sustenance and support. This
is delivered by means of the Po's streaming over into the egg where it
midwifes the arrival of a corporeal soul in the newborn. The Po's validity is supported by the modern day discovery that mitochondrial DNA
transfers exclusively via the line of maternal inheritance.
Meanwhile, two other parallel developments unfold: 1) The corporeal
soul brings into play the developmental power of a special inherited
Essence stored in the Kidney and; 2) Reminiscent of a Swedenborgian
notion that a spiritual sun provides a streaming source of life energy,
186
the Yang and the Hun together spark a prenatal type of Fire that, in the
subsequently developing human organism provides sufficient "voltage"
to "light up" organic tissue with energy, propel a motive force through
the acupuncture meridians, and generate an energy whose unfolding is
crucial to hormonal development, the Heavenly Gui.
The Kidneys and Inheritance

Within an important component ofTCM known as the Five Phases (or
Five Elements) System, "Wtiter is the Phase or Element known to pertain to
Kidney function in its broadest sense. In the autism pathology modeling
introduced in the Five Sense Dimensions chapter to follow a dimensional
description of sense of hearing was introduced (the ears being the Kidney
associated orifice) indicating that the core theme of "Wtiter is best articulated as a deeply rooted tension between Entropy and Consolidation.
A portion of the argument can be stated as follows: In addition to inheritance, 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 as a consolidation of information necessary to ward off the
entropic threat of extinction. Wider acceptance of a 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
a lucky accident, and that the prospect of non-existence presents grounds
for angst and existential terror.
187
Further Notes on Kidney Function

In Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Kidneys, the most important organs in the TCM system, possess an
interacting set of yin and a yang functions. On the yin side, the Kidneys
store what is known as the Essence ofLife, and which is of two types:
1. Congenital Essence of Life derives from the Kidneys themselves. Although
this is a basic constitutional level of energy inherited from one's parents and
ancestors, its strength may be raised and its quality improved via acquired
essence extracted as result of sound nutrition. As we shall see, this is not
the only place in which inheritance is stored. This Essence also creates the
Kidney chi, which is responsible for the Kidney's familiar (in non-energetic
terms) function with regard to water purification and excretion.
2. Acquired Essence ofLife is also known as the jive viscera and six bowels
essence of life. This is the true energy extracted from metabolized food
by means of the Stomach and Spleen organs (whose Heat derives from
the Gate ofLife, discussed below) and which is circulated to all organs,
and throughout the channels and collaterals of the body. Surplus
acquired essence oflife is returned to be stored for emergency purposes
in the Kidneys.
On the yang side the Kidneys represent a dynamic set of functions arising
from Ytmg from the universe. The image of an electrical storm with its
downpour of rain prepares us for what in the Kidneys manifests as a primordial spark, in turn giving rise to both a "voltage" and a capacity to
produce essential fluids in the body. At the pre-natal stage this energy is
known as Ministerial Fire. Soon, managerial entities responsible for the
material basis and transformation of specific body fluids separate themselves out and begin interacting with Kidney Essence. In the wake of this
energy step-down, a generally warming and sex-drive-igniting "voltage"
is engendered. Known as Fire of the Gate ofLife it issues from the body's
"pilot light" nestled in place between the two kidney organs.
188
Two other yang functions require mention m any discussion of the
Kidneys:
1. The Penetrating Vessel, an Extraordinary channel (also known as the
Chong Mo) whose function, closely aligned with that of the Kidneys,
Liver (which stores the Blood), and Spleen (which produces the Blood)
concerns regulation of the menses and:
2. The Heavenly Gui, which crystallizes the first menstrual blood of
puberty from out of the Kidney Essence and later, following conception, transforms the red milk that as menstrual blood, nourishes the
uterus, thereby transforming it into the white milk of lactation that
nourishes its living fruit.

Appendix IV: 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 encompassed 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 sciences, some of which, 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 psychoactive 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 philosophical 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.
The 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
191
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 m~y meditate on in relation
to the emergence of autism include:
The spirit is composed of understanding and willing. Understanding
concerns the ability to recognize the identity between truth and the
sacred. Willing relates to the quality of what an individual in her heart
of hearts 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 contexts 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 of 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 consistent with the Dimension ofHearing theme.
A newborn child is the receptacle of innocence. A weighty judgment
attends decisions concerning what information and which influences
192
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 of a 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 supported 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 auditory nerve goes direct to the cerebellum, which is the seat of the affections 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."
As Above So Below, and Vice Versa

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
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 challenges to work through. Yet as our discussion of Sweden borg 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 correspondence, 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." Thus according to Swedenborg, the
quality and talents of children born at any particular time reflects heaven's reciprocal sense of need in regard to earthbound problems, creating a
sense of "uses to be done. "
Relevant Concepts from Emanuel Swedenborg

"Marriages are the seminaries of the whole human race"
Swedenborg's discussion of sex, marriage and procreation, conducted
strictly in terms of their manifesting heavenly activities, will sound shocking 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 con joinings,
in general. These may include Truth with Goodness, or the ideal of the
church as wedded to 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
ofthe whole human race."
Heavenly marriages beget no separate human beings, according to
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 to eternal as
opposed to temporal values reflects his general understanding (but also a
trance encounter with a heavenly couple who lost and then regained this
orientation).
194
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 individual'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 sweetest and most delightful life, and in heavenly joy above others."
Birth as Regeneration
For Swedenborg or the angels who inform him so, procreation, in addition to 'concerning the reception of new life from God is a matter of spiritual 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 possessed 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. They minister therefore, primarily to the intelligence."
Therefore:
"The things which enter by the sense of sight, enter into man's understanding and enlighten him; ... but the things which enter by the sense
196
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.
It 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 offering, according to Swedenborg, represents the Divine Good (as the warmth
from a fire is naturally good), while the door to a tabernacle represents
Divine Truth (genuine doctrine) symbolism of the two conjoined represents goodness and truth, or heavenly marriage. "The conjunction of
good and truth is regeneration," Swedenborg says, "for the Lord is continually present with good and truth in every man, but he is not received
except so far as evils and falsities are removed. .. "This latter comment provides context for detoxification efforts called for in our clinical efforts.
Conception: Proliforation and Protection of Truth

Swedenborg indicates that due to the transcendent purity and depth of
their mystery, direct knowledge concerning the particulars of regeneration 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
197
tri-fold series 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
the world."
The Transduction of Heavenly Love: Babies

Divinely 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 of regeneration are a separate kingdom populated
only by the wisest and the best of the angels. It is a kingdom more replete
with the consciousness of divine innocence than anywhere else, as a result
of which, 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 ofInnocence
Each of us starts out as an extraordinarily wise innocent. Like Kidney
Essence, the wisdom of innocence in which a newborn is swathed dwindles 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. Swedenborg tells us of what 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 ofgoodness
and truth ofhis own, but all is from the Lord. "

Notes on Autoimmunity
Introducing Alzheimer's disease as an Autoimmune Condition
In my previous book Interpreting Chronic 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 husbandry 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 diseases (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.
As 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 of autoimmune diseases" reports
a finding that "not only demonstrated the anomalous presence of immunoglobulin (lg) detection in the brain parenchyma of AD tissues but,
most importantly, specific neurons that showed degenerative, apoptotic fiatures 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 dysfunction allowing the deleterious effects of auto-antibodies access to their
targets. Hence, autoimmunity-induced cell death in Alzheimer's disease
is strongly suggested.

Appendix V: Notes on Autoimmunity

Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus (SLE): A template 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? An 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 presence, is related to the remedy Sabina, derived from an abortifacient plant,
Juniperus sabina.
Striking parallels exist between SLE and another self-destructive disease,
syphilis. Is SLE perhaps a non-infectious alter ego to syphilis? Conceivably,
suppression of SLE 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 "masquerade" 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.

the Corporeal Soul residing in the Lungs. A counterpart to the immortal
Hun or Ethereal Soul residing in the Liver, the Po is a mortal soul providing the material source for our existence. That the Po is built within the
mother justifies emphasis placed on taking the mother's case along with
that of the ASD child's.

Other Books by Jerry Kantor

Interpreting Chronic Illness: the Convergence
of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, and Biomedicine views three seemingly 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 language' of three very different healing paradigms - biomedicine (modern Western
medicine), Traditional Chinese Medicine,
and homeopathy. Kantor simultaneously updates 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 biomedicine. 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 integrative medicine text. It introduces a frame of reference conducive to accurate 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 The 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 spiritual beyond. It's written in a narrative style
with short descriptions of part-factual and
part-fictional patient vignettes. Each description comes with Mr. Kantor's analysis of what a possible curative response
for each patient would look like, which is
often a modification of the patient's symptoms into less severe forms of illness where
he then suggests a less pathological remedy.
He ends each patient section with a short description of complementary remedies. There are 32 remedy scenarios in the book, which range
from polycrests-such as Nat-m and Lycopodium-to the rarely constitutional remedies of Absinthum, 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 entertaining, 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.

Additional Books from Emryss Reccomended by

the Author
Monera, Kingdom Bacteria and Viruses by Frans Vermeulen [2005} -It provides the reference tool you seek if you work in the realm of Miasmatic prescribing, or Family and Sensation.
Sea Remedies, Evolution of the Senses by ]o Evans [2009}- Sensory evolution

provides a stunning, full-colour illustrated guide to the marine invertebrate remedies used in homeopathy. Alongside the materia medica, additional
chapters explore the evolution of the senses and the relationship of our human sensory experience to that of this group of early animals. The conventional biomedical uses are also included.
Raising a Vaccine Free Child by W't-ndy Lydall [2009}- This book provides parents with a comprehensive, scientifically based guide to the facts, myths, problems and solutions associated with raising a vaccine free child. It helps them
protect their children both from the wiles of the vaccine industry and from
harmful germs. It explains the difference between childhood diseases and the
other infectious diseases, which is the key to understanding immunisation.
Organotherapy, Drainage and Detoxification - A starting point to safe practice

for Homeopaths, Herbalists, Naturopaths, Traditional Healers and enlightened
Medical Doctors by joe Rozencwajg [2010}- In today's world, we are confronted not only with diseases, acute or chronic, but with a slow intoxication
and intoxination of our organisms, a slow, subtle, insensible but all pervading and almost unavoidable poisoning: adulterated food, water polluted
(Cl, Fluor), polluted air, EMF from computers, TY, phones, power lines,
vaccines, medications, etc .. . Almost anyone could find some approach that
is useful for his practice, but the main principle has to be respected: start by
repairing the system, then enhance it, then detoxifY.

Autism; Beyond despair. CEASE Therapy [201 0} - In this groundbreaking

work, Dr. Tinus Smits reveals the step-by-step method which he has used
for more than 300 autistic children. In many cases, the parents have declared their children 100% cured; in others, the process is still unde'rway with
significant improvement. His therapy is mainly based on lsotherapy, a form
of homeopathy which is able to detect the causes of autism in children and
which redresses them directly. He has made remarkable discoveries as to why
autism is on the increase. This book is highly important for parents with autistic children and for all those who are involved in the care of these children.
Inspiring Homeopathy- the final edition by Tinus Smits [2011}- Inspiring Homeopathy is the final legacy of a brilliant homeopath. In it, Dr. Tinus Smits
shares his vision that homeopathy can address the universal human experiences of coming into incarnation from the world of spirit. These "universal
layers" include coming into the body; feeling unconditional mother love- or
not, feeling abandoned, unworthy and insecure; and staying centered within
ourselves while maintaining our oneness with the universe.
