Homeopathic detoxification is a method designed to clear the body of factors which interfere with the bodies ability to heal and to respond to Homeopathic remedies and other stimuli to it’s self healing ability.
This method was originally pioneered by a Dutch Homeopathic Medical Doctor named Tinus Smits for the treatment of autism, but has much deep roots and wider applications. Hahnemann himself stumbled upon the clinical picture of the polycrest Sepia on an individual he could not cure by well indicated remedies. This individual, an artist, was regularly exposed to Sepia pigment. Upon potentising the remedy and administering it, the patient recovered completely, giving us both a valuable remedy and a new principle in treatment.
Since Hahnemann’s time, this basic idea has been extensively expanded into use with a number of other potential blockages to healing. These blockages may include past medical procedures, drugs, anesthetics, surgeries, environmental exposures or injuries. This method applies to all illnesses, potentially, but has been particularly useful in the treatment of Autism.
Homeopathic detox therapy offers a number of advantages in its treatment of autism:
- It offers a very simple approach to treatment. I have seen treatment schemes with autism that are immensely complicated with dozens (sometimes hundreds) of supplements taken daily. Homeopathic detox has, on average, 3-5 supplements and two homeopathics taken every few days.
- Homeopathic detox is very clinically based. There aren’t thousands of dollars of lab tests needed in order to determine the proper course of treatment. The treatment is determined by the exposures and the symptoms of the patient.
- Homeopathic detox is very economical. By keeping supplements to a minimum it avoids a great deal of the costs of other autism programs. It also decreases the length of many other behavioral programs due to the increased adaptability and responsiveness of the nervous system.
- Homeopathic detox has worked, at least in Dr. Paul’s experience. When the remedies are well selected, patients detoxify beautifully, and behavioral shifts are very clear and apparent.
- Homeopathic Detox therapy offers a way to see the true nature of the person. It is as if the program peels back the layers of damage they have suffered, and helps their true self shine forth.
- Homeopathic detox also offers relief for the parents of autistic children. Many times, care of a child with autism can take up huge amounts of time and energy. This therapy usually results in increased independence, resulting in less need for care.
