“The  introduc.on  of  homeopathy  forced  the  old  school  doctor  to  s.r  around  and  learn  something  of  a  ra.onal  nature  about  his  business.  You  may  honestly  feel  grateful  that  homeopathy  survived  

the  a;empts  of  the  allopaths  to  destroy  it.”  -­‐-­‐Mark  Twain,  Harper's  Bazaar  ,  1890

Presenta.on  Overview  

•  About  Homeopathy:  ExplanaQons  and  Origins  •  How  Homeopathy  Works  •  Primary  Types  of  Homeopathy    •  The  Houston  Homeopathy  Method  (HHM)  •  HHM  for  AuQsm  and  PANDAS  •  Case  Studies    

What  is  Homeopathy?    •  A  holisQc,  or  “whole  body”  approach  to  detoxificaQon  and  healing    

•  A  stand-­‐alone  system  of  healthcare  •  PharmaceuQcal  and  chemical-­‐free  •  Non-­‐toxic  •  Non-­‐suppressive  •  FDA  regulated  via  the  HPUS/HPCUS  •  The  fastest  growing  form  of  alternaQve  healthcare  

 

History  •  Researched  and  developed  by  Samuel  Hahnemann,  M.D.  (1755-­‐1843)  

•  Believed  in  gentle,  rapid,  permanent  healing  

•  Based  on  the  “Law  of  Similars”  •  UQlized  “minimum  dose”  •  Due  to  success,  homeopathy  rapidly  spread  across  Europe  then  to  the  US  in  early  1800’s  

 

Samuel Hahnemann, M.D.

•  Came  to  US  during  cholera  and  yellow  fever  epidemics  •  Early  1800’s-­‐Homeopathic  medical  schools/teaching  hospitals  

were  established    in  US.  •  1844-­‐  American  InsQtute  of  Homeopathy    was  formed  .  •  1847-­‐  AMA  was  founded  to  “wipe  the  scourge  of  homeopathy  

from  the  face  of  the  earth”  due  to  loss  of  MDs  to  homeopathy.  •  By  1930,  graduates  of  homeopathic  medical  schools  (which  

taught  both  convenQonal  and  homeopathic  medicine)  were  barred  from  sifng  for  medical  exams,  and  the  AMA  had  proclaimed  itself  the  only  governing  authority  over  medicine  in  America.  

•  In  spite  of  the  AMA’s  quest,  the  first  medical  society  in  the  US,  the  American  InsQtute  of  Homeopathy,    sQll  operates  today.  

 

History  and  Discord  

How  Homeopathy  Works    

•  Uses  minimum  doses  of  serially  diluted  substances    

•  Follows  “The  Law  of  Similars”  -­‐-­‐  Like  treats  like  •  Homeopathic  Materia  Medica  (body  of  knowledge)  applied  to  match  correct  substances  to  symptoms  

•  Remedies  work  in  harmony  with  our  natural  healing  and  life  forces  (a.k.a.  The  Vital  Force)    

 

Homeopathic  Remedies  •  Derived  from  plants,  minerals,  metals,  animals,  chemicals,  or  virtually  any  substance  that  can  be  ground  or  dissolved,  and  diluted  

•  Forms  include  liquid  drops,    sucrose  medicated  pellets,    tablets,  capsules,  topical    

       loQons  and  ointments

How  Remedies  are  Made  

•  Substances  are  serially  diluted  in  water  or  alcohol    •  Potency  is  determined  by  how  many  serial  diluQon  steps  are  used    

•  Succession  between  each  diluQon  is  key  •  Higher  diluQon  =  Higher  potency

Homeopathic  Dilu.on:    The  Gentle,  Safe,  and  Natural  Approach  •  The  serial  diluQon  preparaQon  of  homeopathic  medicines  renders  them  non-­‐toxic  

•  Facilitates  overall  self-­‐healing  –  does  not  ajack  pathogens  directly  with  strong  chemicals    

•  Helps  the  body  rebalance  naturally  to  systemaQcally  restore  equilibrium  and  health  

•  In  its  enQre  history,  homeopathy  has  never  caused  serious  harm  or  death  

•  There  are  no  FDA  black  box  warnings  on  any  homeopathic  remedies      

The  Law  of  Similars  Example:  Red  onion  /Allium  cepa  •  Exposure  Symptoms:  

– Watery  eyes  –  Streaming  nose  –  Desire  for  fresh  air  

•  Allium  cepa  helps  –  Cold  or  cold-­‐like  symptoms  –   Hay  fever  symptoms  

The  Law  of  Similars  Example:  Bee  /  Apis  mellifica    

•  Symptoms  of  a  bee  sQng:  –  Red,  hot,  swollen,  sQnging  pain  –  Can  look  like  or  cause  hives  –  Can  cause  anaphylaxis  

•  Apis  mellifica  helps:  –  Bites,  sQngs  –  Rashes  with  sQnging,  red  swollen,  hot  areas  

–  Hives  –  Anaphylaxis  

Onions,  Bees  and  The  Vital  Force  •  The  term  Vital  Force  represents  the  living  energies  that  govern,  balance,  and  sustain  all  health  and  life.      

•  Examples:  –  The  “immune  system”  (in  medical  jargon)  –  The  energy  to  grow,    repair,  heal,  and  sustain  life  –  The  driving  force  for  homeostasis  in  living  cells    

•  The  homeopath  chooses  the  correct  substances  (e.g.  bee  venom  for  bee  sQng-­‐like  symptoms)  and  at  the  right  diluQon  levels  (potency)  to  resonate  with  the  natural,  Vital  Force  to  detoxify  and  heal  the  body    

Homeopathy:  Supports  the  Body’s  Innate  Self-­‐Healing  Abili.es  

•  Homeopathic  remedies  provide  signal  to  the  body’s  own  healing  mechanisms,  supporQng  and  noQfying  these  systems  to  do  the  work  of  detoxificaQon  and  healing  

•  Homeopathic  remedies  do  not  chemically  ajack  microbes  as  drugs  do  –  they  simply  alert  the  natural  defense  mechanisms  of  the  immune  system  so  they  can  work  as  designed  to:    –  IdenQfy  pathogens  and  determine  method  of  ajack  –  Destroy  or  eliminate  pathogens    

•  Since  remedies  don’t  ajack  or  kill  pathogens  directly,  pathogens  do  not  develop  pathological  resistance  to  homeopathic  remedies  –  nor  do  they  become  something  more  virulent  and  insidious.

•  Classical  Homeopathy  –  Most  common  method  pracQced  in  the  USA  –  Uses  a  single  remedy  for  all  complaints  

•  Homotoxicology  –  Uses  combinaQon  remedies  to  remove  toxins  stored  in  the  body’s  

terrain  and  support  reversal  of  disease  progression    –  SomeQmes  referred  to  as  “homeopathic  detox”  

•  Sequen.al  Homeopathy  –  Works  in  reverse  chronological  order  /  can  target  causaQonal  events  

of  chronic  complaints  –  Uses  mulQple  remedies  in  clearing  packets  to  aid  detoxificaQon  –  SystemaQcally  eliminates  layered  pathogens,  vaccines,  chemicals,  

traumas  

Homeopathic  Methods   Addi.onal  Homeopathic  Tools  •  Gemmotherapy    

–  Plant  based,  low-­‐potencies  –  Fast  acQng  for  current  symptoms/support  of  systems  

•  Oligotherapy  – Mineral-­‐based    –  Aids  cell  respiraQon  and  mineral  uQlizaQon/absorpQon  

•  German  Biological  Medicine  –  Cellular  Reprogramming  Therapy  –  Aids  with  Cell-­‐wall  deficient  pathogens  from  anQbioQc  usage  

•  Spagyric  Medicine  –  Strong,  highly  bioacQve  remedies  from  various  plant  sources  

–  Helpful  with  both  acute  symptoms  and  latent,  chronic  underlying  condiQons  caused  by  pathogens  and  toxicity  

•  Cytokine  Therapy  and  Growth  Factors  –  NEW  to  the  homeopathic  arsenal  –  Reduces  chronic  inflammaQon    –  Supports  rebalancing  Th1  and  Th2    –  Growth  factors  signal  normal  cell  renewal  –  CombinaQon  of  CT  and  GF  helpful  with  TBDs  (Lyme,  etc.),  OCD,  RA,  immune  dysregulaQon  

Houston  Homeopathy  Method  Hope  &  Recovery  

Why  yet  another  method?          

While  each  of  the  primary  homeopathic  methods  has  much  to  offer  on  its  own,  tough  cases  from  AuQsm,  

PANDAS,  and  other  ailments  demand  a  more  organized,  comprehensive  in-­‐depth  approach.  

   

About  HHM  •  Exclusive  to  the  Homeopathy  Center  of  Houston  •  SequenQal  Homeopathy  is  the  core  •  Combines  and  chooses  among  methods  of  homeopathy  to  

deeply  individualize,  and  fully  support  deep  detoxificaQon  and  healing  

•  Based  on  research  from  the  biomedical  model  of  auQsm  –  Because  kids  can’t  tell  us  what  hurts  –  Learned  what  systems  were  malfuncQoning    –  Applied  homeopathic  principals  to  remediate  problems  

•  Requires  we  be  “Lyme  Disease  Literate”    •  Individualized  to  each  person’s  specific  needs  and  history

What  HHM  Does  DIFFERENTLY    •  Greatly  expanded  Sequen>al  Homeopathy  monthly  clears  to  

include:  –  All  concurrent  vaccine  clearing  plus  toxins  and  metals  –  Old  injuries  and  suppressed  infecQons      –  Drug  history  and  residual  effects  

•  Daily  support  of  organs  and  systems  throughout  the  clearing  process  as  opposed  to  a  classical  single  remedy  

•  HCH  proprietary  combinaQons  based  on  the  biomedical  model  

•  German  Biological  Medicine  for  the  special  demands  of  “the  auQsQc  gut”  

•  ConQnual  emoQonal  support  for  release  and  processing    •  Focus  on  unburdening  and  rebuilding  the  immune  system  so  

the  body  can  do  the  work  of  healing    

HHM:  Clearing  Causa.ons  •  All  illness  is  result  of  many  layersàOVERLOAD  

– Germs  don’t  cause  illness  –  suscep>bility  does  – GeneQc  inherited  weaknesses  +  inherited  toxins  – Toxic  exposures  

•  Chemicals,  heavy  metals,  drugs,  vaccines  

– Pathogens  from  illnesses  and  vaccines  – Physical  and/or  emo>onal  traumas  

•  SequenQally  clearing  in  reverse  order  à  – Natural  healing  of  contribuQng  traumas/toxinsà  full  recovery  from  chronic  issues

HHM:  Emo.onal  Support  •  Homeopathic  proprietary  combinaQons  for  emoQonal  support  play  an  integral  role      

•  All  children  need  to  express  and  process  emoQons  •  Natural  healing  recognizes  that  without  emoQonal  healing  there  can  only  be  limited  physical  healing  

•  Contributes  to  improved  behaviors  •  Supports  processing  of  emoQons  through  other  outlets  such  as  dreams,  tears  or  art  

•  Minimizes  anxiety  and  meltdowns    

 

HHM:  Au.sm,  OCD,  Tics  •  Prevalence  of  OCD  behaviors  in  ASD’s  required  focus  and  research  on  strep  

•  Discovered  polymicrobial  disease  connecQons  between  strep,  herpes  and  measles  – Measles  virus  suppresses  the  immune  system,  increases  suscepQbility  to  strep  

– DNA  binding  relaQonship  between  viruses  and  bacteria  

– Vaccines  create  chronic  measles,  strep  and  herpes  – All  3  must  be  addressed  together        

HHM:  PANDAs,  OCD  and  Strep-­‐Herpes-­‐Measles  Connec.on  

•  ASO  and  DNase  levels  are  reduced  in  those  tested  •  Improvements  seen  in:  

–  OCD    –  Tics  –  Anxiety    –  Speech  –  Seizures    –  SocializaQon  –  ToileQng  

•  Improvements  are  sustained,  unlike  the  cycling  seen  with  anQbioQcs  and  anQ-­‐viral  drugs

•  Diminishes  chronic  symptoms  related  to  individual  traumas,  including  environmental  contaminants,  vaccines,  pesQcides  and  other  insults  which  can  contribute  to  immune  system  overload  and  dysfuncQon  

•  Reduces:  –  Heavy  metals  (including  burden  in  the  brain)  –  Bacterial  and  viral  Qters    –  Systemic  inflammaQon    –  “Gut  bugs”  and  dysbiosis      

How  Well  is  HHM  Working?  Clinical  Observa.ons  

Clinical  Observa.ons  Con.nued…  •  Improves  dysregulated  immune  funcQon  (normal  fevers)  •  Endocrine  rebalancing  (growth  rates  normalize)  •  Hormone  rebalancing  (reduced  high  testosterone)  •  Brain  and  nervous  system  regulaQon  (OCD  diminished  

and  neurotransmijer  rebalancing)  •  Systemic  inflammaQon  reducQon  •  ReducQon  of  mercury  levels,  even  across  BBB  (per  Dr.  

Nataf)    •  Behavioral,  cogniQve,  communicaQon  and  academic  

improvements  •  Assists  in  regulaQon  of  systemic,  chronic,  unfocused  

inflammaQon  

We  have  100  children  who  are  no  longer  auPsPc  nor  have  PANDAS.    They  are  NOT  dependent  on  

supplements,  they  do  NOT  require  special  diets,  aids,  classes  or  therapists,  or  accommodaPons  at  school.      

 We  have  many  more  in  the  process  of  improving.  Most  children  show  improvement  within  the  first  6  months.    Some  recover  in  1-­‐2  years.    Some  recover  sooner.    Others  may  take  longer.  Those  who  work  with  

homeopathy  first  usually  recover  fastest.  

The  Bo;om  Line  Evidence  of  Efficacy:  

From  our  files,  with  many  thanks  to  all  our  parents  who  gave  us  permission  to  spread  the  

word  that  there  is  more  than  hope.      

 There  are  real  answers.  There  is  real  hope.  

Measuring  Progress:  ATEC  

•  ATEC:  Acronym  for  AuQsm  Treatment  EvaluaQon  Checklist  

•  Developed  by  Dr.  Bernard  Rimland  and  Dr.  Stephen  Edelson,  who  were  frustrated  by  the  lack  of  effecQve  tools  to  measure  progress.  Learn  more  at  www.au>sm.org  

•  ATEC  offers  an  overall  view  of  how  a  child  is  doing  behaviorally  in  four  areas  and  assists  in  defining  severity  

•  ATEC  is  widely  accepted  as  an  indicator  of  a  child’s  response  to  a  parQcular  treatment  or  approach
