CEASE therapy or homeopathy, any luck?

terrorhawk

Hi everyone,

I'm new on here so please be gentle. 

I have a 9 year old daughter diagnosed with ASD when she was 4.  She has alot of the common problems-speech delay, global developmental delay, poor fine and gross motor skills, poor communication/comprehension, sensory problems...etc etc.

She used to be much more severly affected by her condition, especially her sensory ones which have subsided with therapies and general organic improvement and being desensitised by life in general.

A few years ago we had a consultation with Jonathan Toomey and picked up alot of tips about how to change our lives, a lot of which we did.  Prior to this we already had our daughter on high doses of fish oils which made a marked difference.

I came across homeopathy in the form of teething powders for grizzly babies (sure most people have used them).  My youngest has severe reactions to antibiotics and I needed to find any alternative safe form of medicine and remembered the teething powders I'd used on all my children with great success for many years.

I have since bought a few books, read articles online and bought myself a little kit to use at home.  I've used it countless times with excellent results.....how does it work?!  No idea!!!  To be honest, I don't care, I just know that on some weird level, it does!

Anyway, I have now stumbled across something called CEASE therapy which seems to be abit harsher than classical homeopathy.  I'm dubious about trying this as don't want bad reactions for my daughter but interested to know if anyone has used it and what the outcome was.

Thanks for any comments.

  • Hi guys

    Thanks for your replies and input.

    Alex-agree, alot of the theory does not make sense but so far as I'm concerned, we live in an illogical world full of things that we cannot explain with science.  Quite frankly, if something is going to help or maybe even "cure" my child, I don't care if it's made from the magic of a unicorn's horn-I'm going to try it, especially if it's not harmful!  

    People talk of the placebo effect, this cannot apply to babies as thousands of mothers all over the world use homeopathic teething powders to comfort their children, and it works!  I don't care how it works, I only care that it does!

    I have no interest in promoting homeopathy or CEASE.  I'm just a mother looking to help relieve some of the problems my child has and help her have a better quality of life. Years ago her teachers said she would never read or write, she is now in mainstream school writing poems about fireworks and getting headteachers awards in assembly!  

    I had a consultation with a CEASE therapist yesterday and we're going to try this protocol.  Will keep you all posted on the progress made.

    Intenseworld-gotta agree with keeping an open mind.  Autism has so many unknowns involved in it's cause and the NHS has washed it's hands of families like ours in terms of finding a cause and help with resources.  What choice do we have left but to look at alternative therapies?!
