Healing children with autism blog list

I’ve started a blog list of parents who are using biomedical techniques, homeopathy or energy healing to treat their autistic child. I have done my best to try to categorize the major method of healing that the parents are using. I’ve defined biomedical treatments to include any treatment that a Defeat Autism Now! doctor or naturopathic doctor may recommend, including gluten-free, casein-free diet, supplementation, chelation, antiviral and antibacterial therapy, etc. See Generation Rescue’s website for more information about biomedical treatments, and also check out this link for parent’s ratings of biomedical interventions.

I am offering this list to help those parents who are looking for inspiration, personal stories and ideas for treatment options. I know that there are many, many more healing autism blogs out there, and will be adding to this list as I discover more.

Please let me know if you know of other blogs (your own or others) of parents who are healing their children.

Homeopathy and Biomedical Treatments

The following families use a combination of homeopathy and biomedical treatment. Read a post comparing the four most common approaches to homeopathy here.

Heilkunst homeopathy and biomedical treatments

• We are using Heilkunst homeopathy combined with biomedical treatments heal our son. Read my post about hope for parents of “non-responders” here.
• Treatment 4 Autism – biomedical treatments (low dose naltrexone, glutathione cream, melatonin, methyl B12 shots, etc.), Heilkunst homeopathy, prayer. Caleb is doing so well that he’s in General Education School full time.

Sequential homeopathy and biomedical treatments

• Drew’s Autism Recovery Diary – sequential homeopathy (Houston Homeopathy Center), but now doing classical homeopathy, SCD diet, 25 hours of ABA therapy, digestive enzymes, fish oil, methyl B-12 injections every 3 days, nightly epsom salt baths, elimination diet, Perma Clear, lemon juice in water at night (details here). After his 12 month vaccinations, he lost all ability to communicate. With the treatment, and with the help of signing DVDs and verbal behaviour approach, he is now talking. Inspiring update post two years after treatment and the progress Drew has made during this time (toilet training, gaining words, regulating emotions, becoming more present, etc.) They now consider Drew to have been healed from autism. Read Drew’s most helpful therapies here.

Both of their children are over the age of 5 years old and are making slow, but steady progress.  It’s very well organized and has lots of useful information about a variety of treatments (supplements, dietary, homeopathy, and much more).

CEASE homeopathy and biomedical treatments

• Alex’s Journey out of Autism - Healing Alex, their 4-year old, with CEASE homeopathy, acupuncture and biomedical techniques. Her son has made tremendous gains.

Summary of interventions that have worked for Alex here. Update: Alex now says mama and papa!!    Update: Alex is doing really well.  Treatments include: biomedical, diet (GFCF), supplements, therapies (speech, OT, ABA), chelation, cranial sacral therapy, acupuncture, neuro-feedback, classical homeopathy and CEASE therapy.
