Homeopathy for Autism

 We’ve been using homeopathy to treat my daughter’s delays and symptoms left over after we stopped the GAPS diet.  We’ve been working with Alan Freestone, a homeopath in the UK, via skype and even ordering remedies from his trusted source in the UK.

While we saw tons of healing on the GAPS diet, after her gut was healed there were still some emotional issues and food cravings left, which Alan has been treating. I’ve been seeing great progress and wanted to share his website with you.

He has written a guest post, below, describing a bit of the history of homeopathy and how it works for you. I find it fascinating, but I still don’t understand it very well.

Be sure to stop by his site and say hi!  I highly recommend his work, he really takes time to find out all the symptoms and tease out information that I didn’t realize was relevant, and then thoughtfully come up with appropriate remedies.

Hello, I’m Alan Freestone, a homeopath specialising in Autism.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopaths believe that a person’s symptoms aren’t an ‘illness’, they are their bodies way of trying to return to balance, or what’s called ‘homeostasis’. So, the symptoms of the common cold aren’t what’s wrong, they are your body dealing with the viral infection (the raised temperature to allow the interferons to work more effectively, the lethargy so you don’t waste precious energy on other things, the discharges (runny nose) to clear the ‘battlefield’ of bits of virus & dead immune cells.

One amazing thing about homeopathy is, it can heal emotional or mental trauma that happened many years in the past. The remedies allow you to process emotions that you couldn’t at the time and instead had to bury away…holding these unprocessed emotions reduces our energy and will eventually make us sick.

How can Homeopathy help Autism?

In my experience, autism is often the result of a series of assaults or traumas on an already weakened genetic background. A mother’s grief or other emotional trauma during pregnancy, her amalgam fillings leeching into her system, and through her placenta into the baby, the medications used during the birth, formula milk, vaccinations, repeated antibiotics. Each one of these can be an assault on a child and several of them together can be enough to tip a child into autism. In my opinion, this is why we often see a regression between 2 and 3 years of age… the assaults have built up enough to the point that’s enough push the child into an autistic state. The homeopath’s job is simply to undo these assaults one at a time. I believe that autism is curable, join me.

“When something in the outer world resonates with

your innermost being, a healing possibility arises.

The homeopath is the one who utilises this knowledge

for the benefit of her patients, yet the homeopathic

principle is at work all the time without anyone being aware of it.

When a piece of music or beautiful poem stirs your

soul and moves you to tears, this is homeopathy.

When a minor incident brings forth all the unresolved

pain from an earlier trauma, this is homeopathy.

When life delivers the blow that breaks open your

protective shell and forces you to grow in spite of

yourself, this is homeopathy.

Homeopathy doesn’t belong to anyone.

It is one of the ways in which life heals itself.”
