CEASE therapy or homeopathy, any luck?

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.

    The only effect Homeopathy will have is make your wallet, purse, bank balance, or building society balance a lot lighter of hard cash!  It will also leave you with a possible credit card bill.

    But from an evidence-based medical point of view, it will do absolutely nothing!  

    Homeopathy is merely a modern-day equivalent of the snakeoil salesman of the 1800s American West.  It has no evidence-based, peer-reviewed, scienfic data to support its claims.  

    Save your money!  

    Dont lump snake oil in with homeopathy as things that do not have an effect, snake oil frequently did have an effect similar to some modern day heat rubs (en.wikipedia.org/.../Snake_oil), homeopathy on the other hand has not shown any effect in any scientific studies.
