Naomi (my better half who in an amusing but unrelated event took an online test to find out what sort of leader she was recently and came out as Hitler 😀 ) used to work at a Health Clinic as a receptionist. It was a bit ‘new agey’ this place and offered chiropracters, massage-therapists, hypno-therapists and homeopathists.
As is my wont I sneered at most of these treatments without actually trying them or even reading up about them. Yay me.
Anyway, when Megan was diagnosed with ASD, Naomi kept in touch with the homeopathist who she used to work with and this homeopathist, Karyl, began to treat Megan.
I was totally unprepared for how succesful it was. I mean I was really shocked at the difference. All I could see was Naomi giving Megan various combos of these little sugar pills but gradually, over time, Karyl got the balance right. It still needs tweaking as Megan grows but the Homeopathic regime Megan is on has cleared her body of a lot of the toxins introduced by the immunisations she had and-best of all- has helped her settle back down into a much more stable sleeping pattern. Megan has her Homeopathic stuff twice daily with Eye-Q and a multi-vitamin and the combination really has worked wonders on her patience, temper, perception, concentration, cognition and general happiness.
I’d strongly recommend Homeopathy as a treatment. If anyone wants to speak to our Homeopathist in particular, let me know by posting here and I’ll send her details to you- she really has changed our lives with Megan.

I was wondering…a year and a half later are you still feeling the same way about homeopathy as you do above? I noticed that elsewhere you made several (positive) references to Quackwatch, which is a web site which views homeopathy as quackery. I’d love to hear a summary about how your opinions have (or have not changed) as you’ve seen your daughter grow,and as you’ve tried and/or researched various therapies and theories related to autism.
Based on your later posts, I was really surprised to read, in earlier posts, your positive outlook on homeopathy, son rise (which seems to me a cult worse than Buttar’s following) Eye Q, and your very first post where it sounded like you might have felt an immunization might be to blame for your daughter’s autism (if I read it correctly). This leaves me curious as to how you feel about your earlier blogs when you read them again.
They’re a true reflection of my thoughts at that time – I made a recent post on this very subject not too long ago.
I feel mostly like these were things we did _for us_ rather than for _Megan_ and that realising that fact was one of the biggest impetus’ for change we had as a family.
Thanks for your prompt response, and thanks for the pointer…hadn’t seen that post!
I love your blog. It’s a real service to those out there researching potential treatments. So much of the internet is clogged with folks adamant in their belief in the effectiveness of various controversial treatments, and it’s nice for once to also see the “other side” in the list of search results.
Same to you, Autism Diva. You’re both doing a really good thing.
