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.

    Also it would be helpful if NAS could look into homeopathy qualifications and post some guidelines. There are genuine, fully accredited homeopathy degrees out there, but it is very complex.

    In America you have to do a medical degree first and a homeopathy degree on top, so people will have two degrees after their names.

    In the UK I cannot really find out what is the official line, which makes me wonder if there isn't one. There is a College for Homeopathic Education in London which uses several universities to provide the training and is possibly accedited by one of them.

    But some courses here are accredited by American universities, which isn't quite the same thing, especially as in America they require a primary medical degree.

    I keep seeing Honours LCHE degrees - but I cannot find out what they are. If they are Licentiates of the College of Homeopathic Education they shouldn't be Honours qualifications.

    This is important if people are making ridiculous assertions like Mr Freestone's website:- "I simply don't accept that autism has to be a lifelong condition".

    Statements like that would undermine the credibility of a good university - bringing it into disrepute - which can lead to a degree being withdrawn. So either the university accrediting such degrees doesn't care, or this isn't a proper accreditation.

    I would hope that institutions awarding qualifications in homeopathy have a care that their graduates carry their qualification with pride, and don't bring it into disrepute.

    The London Centre for Homeopathic Education offers a bsc (Hons) in Homeopathy; validated by the Middlesex University.  However, I could not find any other college or university in the UK offerring such a degree.  Indeed, many universities have dropped this degree over the past ten years!  

    And august institutions such as Imperial College London do not appear to offer any degrees in alternative medicine, as far as I could ascetain from looking at the 2016 courses.  

    By his own admission on his own website, Alan Freestone does not hold a degree in any field of medicine or science to be able to make an unsubstantiated claim like "Autism is caused by toxicity".  And when I asked, he has failed to provide any information regarding peer-reviewed studies to support such claims. By his own admission, he avoided my question entirely!

    In addition to making the scientifically unsubstantiated claim that "Autism is caused by toxicity", on the home page of his website he has also repeated the internationally discredited claim regarding the MMR vaccine!
