Enzymes/ CEASE therapy anyone?

stardust66

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried homeopathic CEASE therapy or Enzyme therapy? My son is rising 4, and is having assessments for ASD. So far the paediatrician at Child Development says that he is not ASD, but CAMHS, who have seen him at the centre with me, and observed him in school think that he is ASD. This has been going on for many months now, and we are getting nowhere as the professionals just cannot agree. All the traits seem to have grown in him since the age of two and are getting worse and worse all the time. I cannot sit by and see him withdraw further from life, with no support from the health professionals, so have decided to try CEASE therapy and Enzyme therapy. I just wondered if any other parents had tried either and what results (if any) you noticed please.

  • Just as a published source examining causes of autism could I venture to suggest Richard Lathe (2006) "Autism, Brain and Environment" Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

    This is quite a heavy going scientific text and I don't have the background to determine whether it is a sound book. Others could comment.

    His Chapter 8 is entitled "Gut, Hormones, Immunity: Physiological Dysregulation in Autism". It explores brain/gut relationships, and there seem to be a number of issues here, such as stress, hormone regulation, impaired immunity, liver and kidney malfunction.

    It certainly looks as if such issues should be taken seriously and homeopathic medicine is hardly likely to have any realistic effect given we still undderstand so little about these relationships.

    Growing up I suffered dreadfully from gut complaints including bloating, indigestion and gastric upsets. It was largely attributed to stress, and while its a while ago, and understanding of autism has moved on, looking back I feel stress was probably the key factor in my case.

    Whether there are dietary options to reducing some effects of autistic spectrum problems, I agree with others on this thread that this cannot have anything to do with a cure, if such a thing is possible. But if there were mechanisms that might improve day to day existence, and reduce stress, that might be beneficial in improving a life.

    Lache has a good bibliography to this chapter, so that might point to wider reading. If the initiator of this thread wants to explore he should do so but try to find a sound scientific basis.

    My own perception of things is that there is way too much quackery, and however good intentioned, a lot of overly theoretical trading in solutions (often costly).

    The thing to remember with these solutions is the practitioners aren't really accountable for the long term consequences. The lifespan of their schemes might be of the order of five to ten years if their remedies have any credibility. The consequences or lack of outcomes may affect a lifespan. And the marketteers of these remedies wont be around to account fo their failures.
