This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Mom,

Please don't seek remedy for each symptom. Please give all details of your child like your state of mind during pregnancy, the vaccinations he had, his position at the time of birth and changes taking place thereafter, his mentals (you said that there is improvement after Sulphur, on what basis you gave him Sulphur?), at what time of day he is better/worse, he likes cold weather/ warm weather. Any other family history. Please write everything else that you want to write about him. Please don't disclose any personal information on the basis of which you can be identified like don't write your full name while signing your posts. It creates unnecessary complications.

Thank you very much.

child was conceived after trying for a year so we very ecstatic when we found out but during the first ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks there was no heartbeat so we were very worried that the pregnancy will not be viable. so for the first 3 months we got a lot of ultrasounds but otherwise the pregnancy was fine. the mom was physically active during the entire pregnancy. i did not take vitamins and was always cleaning as i am obsessed with cleaning, so used a lot of cleaning products. also i ate tuna fish a few times. one day before the delivery, mom fell from stairs but landed on hands so the belly was unhurt. the next day the contractions started in the morning but we went to the hospital in the evening. during labor the baby put the cord around his neck and was coming out faster than the contractions but the mom/baby's heartrate was dropping so the doctors performed an emergency c section. baby was born healthy with good apgar score. he weighed 6 lbs 8 oz.... baby did not latch well and i was always worried if baby was eating well. the child always had feeding problems till today at age 3 eats only pureed food. the child had lots of acid reflux and would throw up a lot but he was a good child otherwise, happy and slept well. he was vaccinated till 15 months with all vaccines.

he did not point or communicate or make too much sounds so we suspected and then he was diagnosed with autism, soon after the diagnosis he started flapping his hands, had back to back ear infections and was put on many antibiotics. he had ear tubes put in two times. he is on milk free wheat free diet, is on lot supplements, speech, occupation and aba therapy and is making slow improvements. he is starting to stay one words but understands a lot.

physically he is normal height and weight, hands are not sweaty. but has very bad gait while walking and poor muscle tone and wants lie down always.

we want to try homeopathy with him. upon reading a lot, i decided to try sulphur 30c. he was very aware and receptive for 3/4 days.

i meant he was aware for 3 to 4 days and not 3/4

It has been how many days that he was given Sulphur 30. How many doses of the remedy were given. You said that you are obsessed with cleaning. You used lots of cleaning products. Can you tell which cleaning products you used? You had this obsession earlier on or it developed only during the pregnancy? Why didn't you take the vitamins during pregnancy? How was your relations with your family members during pregnancy? How many kids you have? If yes please tell about others.

so far i have given only one sulphur 30 c dose. it has been 6 days.

the cleaning products i used were kitchen cleaners like windex, clorox which had bleach and also some insect repellents.
i had this obsession even before but not anymore.

i was just too careless not to take the vitamins.

my relationship with my husband was on and off good and bad, he was studying and not spending much time with me, so we would fight about the lack of time we spent.

i have one another younger child who is now 20 months. he is normal.

As you have read something about the homeopathic remedies before, let me tell you what kind of information i am expecting.
There are four blocks identified by the theory of homeopathy that hinder physical and mental development of any individual.
The first block is called as psoric block. This block causes itching in the body and restlessness in the mind.
The second block is called as sycotic block. This block leads to creation of cysts and fibroids in the body and and psychological complexes in the mind.
The third block is called as tubercular block. Here the instability prevails at the levels of mind and body and changes take place continuosly.
The fourth bloclk is called as syphilitic block. This block leads to destructive tendencies both in the body and the mind. This may take form of haemorrhages in the body and destructive behaviour at the mental level.

These blocks are also called as miasms.
Here we are attempting to map the dominant miasm that the mother had during the state of pregnancy. Obsession for cleanliness is a manifestation of syphilis miasm. So this is how you have to do the analysis of various factors and identify the dominant or active miasm during pregnancy.

This exercise is very difficult to do either by sitting with a homeopath in person or by doing it online.

Then you have to observe his behaviour very minutely and see which miasm dominates his behaviour.

So you have to do lot of work. You have given him Sulphur. Now if i ask you what made you think that he is having psoric block, how can you explain.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks a lot for a great explanation.

The reason I gave him sulphur is because I read that kids with autism have blocked detox pathways and Sukphur helps with that. My son has heavy metal toxicity due to vaccines and I wanted his body to detox the viral load and toxic load.

Clearly I did not evaluate him from an angle of miasms. When I realized that homeopathy is individualized, I came to this forum looking for help !

Now having explained homeopathy theory, i will explain the limitations of this theory. If removing the miasmatic blocks can result in removing all hindrances in the path of total recovery, everyone should become healthy after taking the anti-miasmatic remedy.
The following remedies are known for their anti-miasmatic properties.
Psorinum - Psora miasm
Bacillinum - Tubercular miasm
Syphilinum - Syphilis miasm
Medorrhinum - Sycotic miasm

Now theoretically if a person is administered these remedies at different points of time all his miasmatic blockages will be removed. But unfortunately it is not that simple. Many prescribers have resorted to this approach and their patients have found that this approach doesn't work.

So which is the approach that works most of the times successfully in homeopathy? That is the approach of identifying the remedy that is indicated on the basis of totality of patient's symptoms.

Now what is totality of patient's symptoms? It is the following -
*his physical symptoms like weakness, pain, sensations, eruptions on the body.
*his mental symptoms like whether he is totally indifferent, angry, over-reactive, foolish, over excited, calm, cheerful, irritable etc
*his thirst like he his thirsty for huge amounts of water and other drinks, he is thirstless, he is thirsty only for sips, he likes warm water, cold water etc
*his liking and aversion to food.
*his sleep ie no. of times he wakes up, any movements or gestures he makes while asleep.
*his thermal modalities like he prefers cold environment, warm environment, open air, being covered etc.
*his time modalities ie at what time of day he is better and at what time he is worse. Like better in afternoon and worse at night.
*any causative factor like the problems starting after vaccination, accident, emotional shock etc.

thanks once again, please find answers to your questions below--

*his physical symptoms like weakness, pain, sensations, eruptions on the body. : he often gets bad staph infections mostly in the bum area but one time he got it in his face and had to be given antibiotics

*his mental symptoms like whether he is totally indifferent, angry, over-reactive, foolish, over excited, calm, cheerful, irritable etc : he is both cheerful and indifferent but sometimes he is excited.

*his thirst like he his thirsty for huge amounts of water and other drinks, he is thirstless, he is thirsty only for sips, he likes warm water, cold water etc. he has sips of water, mostly at room temperature.

*his liking and aversion to food. he is not fond of food, he eats only pureed baby food.

*his sleep ie no. of times he wakes up, any movements or gestures he makes while asleep. he sleeps well through the night but moves around in sleep

*his thermal modalities like he prefers cold environment, warm environment, open air, being covered etc. he prefers open air and likes to run away

*his time modalities ie at what time of day he is better and at what time he is worse. Like better in afternoon and worse at night. : there has been no pattern in his behavoir, it varies, i would say he is better in the mornings.

*any causative factor like the problems starting after vaccination, accident, emotional shock etc. throwing up after 4 month vaccine.


oflate he seems to understand queit a bit and follow directions, i just hope his language and play skills will develop. also, i am so wishing for him to play with his younger brother.

Whehter Sulphur had any effect on his other symptoms like throwing up etc. apart from the one you mentioned that he was very aware and receptive for 3-4 days
 
kadwa last decade

Dear Mom

Please research the following remedies. In my opinion these may help your child.

1.Sulphur
This is a very deep acting remedy and it has capacity to virtually open all the miasmatic blocks. It is indicated for antidoting the effects of vaccination. You created another id of yours and asked remedy for lethargy and fixed ideas. Srisri suggested you Sulphur. He is a very good observer and if he thinks that sulphur is your remedy, Sulphur should also help your child. You have already started him with Sulphur and gotten good results. So you may give him Sulphur 30 every 15 days and see the response. It will be better always to review the case before giving the dose. Later you may move to Sulphur 200 but only after reviewing the progress that he makes with Sulphur 30.

2.Thuja
This is another great remedy to antidote ill-effects of vaccination.

3.Phosphorus
This remedy looks good looking at his thermal preference and locomotor ataxia.

The tissue salts kali phos 6x, calc phos 6x and silicea 6x may also help him. Please consider these inputs and take an appropriate decision. Please come back for any clarification that you may need. It is better to consult more people before taking any decision.

Best Wishes.

Awesome, thanks a lot !!! This is exactly the information I was looking for. I had also shortisted the same remedies but I also had calc carbonica in my list.

Can you let me know the potencies that I should use for Thuja and Phosporous ?

Thats interesting how you could identify my other account, I did not want anybody to get biased with my son's case and my state of mind, so had to create separate account.

Will definetely let you know. I am sending you wishes of goodness for all your help !

i generally recommend the following plan-

1. Take Remedy in 30c potency thrice a day for 1 day and wait for 10-15 days.
2. If the response is favourable and the symptoms that were addressed by the remedy come back, repeat the remedy in the manner explained in point 1.
3. If the action taken in Point 2 is not working, take a single dose of the remedy in 200c potency for only one day and wait for 15 days.
4. If the response is favourable and the symptoms that were addressed by the remedy come back, repeat the remedy in the manner explained in point 3.
5. If the action taken in Point 4 is not working, take a single dose of the remedy in 1M potency and wait for 30 days.
6. If the response is favourable and the symptoms that were addressed by the remedy come back, repeat the remedy in the manner explained in point 5.

You may implement the above plan for Sulphur, Thuja and Phosphorus. Now Thuja is not expected to work as an indicated remedy but is only expected to antidote effects of vaccination, so you need to give only one dose of Thuja 200c.

Calcarea Carb is a chilly constitution thatswhy i didn't consider it. But as i said earlier you should keep all options open and have consultations with others.

i could identify your other account as it shares ip address with (your) this account and the information given also matches.

Best Wishes.
