DavesHealingNotes.com Homeopathy for Children: ADD/ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s Homeopathy for Children Including ADD/ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s People Helping People Live Healthier Lives through Natural Healing DavesHealingNotes.com 1 DavesHealingNotes.com Homeopathy for Children: ADD/ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s CHILDREN - ADD, ADHD, HYPERACTIVITY ADD, ADHD, and Hyperactivity: These are all terms for children not acting normally. Their behavior is dysfunctional in their home, school or society. Modern medicine mostly treats these children with drugs. The goal is to calm or suppress dysfunctional behaviors. They find it more beneficial to “control” the situation. The drugs are not designed to cure or heal the condition or disease. It may improve conditions; however, there are always side effects ranging from physical distress to emotional consequences, dependence, homicidal or suicidal behavior, and more. Natural (alternative) treatments include behavior modification, flower essences, essential oils, herbal treatments, homeopathics, diet, and more. Homeopathy identifies many patterns of imbalance in children and is very specific to each child. The homeopathics are compatible to conventional (drug) treatment, and will not interfere with them. The main challenge with drugs in determining the homeopathic treatment is to discover the child’s personality underneath the “drug façade” (who he or she really is without the drugs). Better progress and recognition of improvements is seen in children who are not on their meds on weekends or on school vacation. Improvement can still be seen on drugs 100% of the time. The other challenge is to be able to reduce drugs slowly, one at a time, with the doctor’s cooperation. This requires skill in dealing with your doctor, as some are hostile to natural approaches to healing. You may have to find a more open-minded doctor. (You like shopping around?) Those doctors hostile to natural approaches might even threaten to take away your children. But with the right finesse and prodding, most doctors are open-minded enough to acknowledge successes as reported by parents and teachers. Remember the homeopathics can’t cause reactions with drugs (most doctors that are knowledgeable will recognize this or you may have to educate them). Progress may be seen in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months, depending on the progress of the child. The rule of thumb is: Recent problems usually go away quickly; long-term problems take more time, and drugs and chronic problems take time and patience. You may also have to try several remedies and give them 1 to 2 months each. If the problem is severe, you may have to give several remedies at a time. For most children, a 30c potency of the remedy may be given once or twice a day. If they are particularly sensitive and there are aggravation (very rare), they will only last a few hours. If there is partial success with a remedy, you may need to use a higher potency (200c, for instance), or change to a more precise remedy. Homeopathics are also successful when used in combination with nervine herbs that calm the overall tension while the homeopathics help the body to correct the problem. Diet is also helpful. Refer to Dr. Christopher’s mucusless diet. Get the whole family on it. The child will resent his special diet but often conforms to a family dietary change. It will improve the health of the entire family. Be prepared for resistance for the first couple of weeks and then a very pleasing improvement thereafter. 2 DavesHealingNotes.com Homeopathy for Children: ADD/ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s Homeopathic Remedies for ADD/ADHD Hyperactive The following are homeopathic descriptions of personality types of children with tendencies for restlessness, ADD, ADHD, hyperactivity, aggressiveness.
