Children with autism arrived at our practice's doorstep before we ever expected to see it. Since my personal practice of homeopathy had already been taking "all comers" I went into the first consultation with a child with autism before really knowing what I was seeing. He had no formal diagnosis and things had only turned sour a few days earlier. It was a young man whose parents had taken him bowling the night of Hallowe'en and had somehow seen a horrible change in him, presumably after that night. I was fairly new to practice, and delighted to have a client in my waiting room - until he screamed so much that the neighboring office workers had called security while I was finishing with the client before him. I met the parents, who were already being grilled by said security officer before I appeared in the waiting room. I already knew that I was seeing many people whose chronic problems had disappeared as we used sequential homeopathy to reverse the damage of old events, especially vaccines. It had my radar about vaccines way up. But I had no idea this would be my first autistic child.

I didn't know at the time that this child was most likely, overnight, fairly high up the spectrum. I didn't even know what autism was, but I did know that he needed help. I didn't know he had been a victim of vaccine shedding. I just knew I needed to get him settled down, and quickly. In his case, I was not so successful that day. But I did what I always did as a sequential homeopath. I asked questions, took a complete history, and noticed to my delight - and dismay, that this child had not been vaccinated.

What I didn't know at the time was that he was in school the day before Halloween when all of his friends were being given vaccines - vaccines were provided at his school. He was not vaccinated - but rather, was a victim of "vaccine shedding". Fortunately, I was able to help this child recover, but in my opinion, it took me longer than I wish it had. I didn't ask about other children around him being vaccinated for several months and then the light bulb lit up in my head, we cleared for the multiple vaccines I conjectured that he had secondarily been exposed to that day. After about two or three months of clearing, his parents saw that he was virtually the same child he had been prior to the "bowling experience that started it off." It wasn't the bowling!

In hindsight, if only I had known then about the potential for injury from vaccine shedding of viruses from others, I might have helped this child a little more smoothly, maybe even more quickly. He was healthier for our work, no matter how long it took. But I am sad that in this child's case, I didn't know that many children can have regressions from exposure to peers, siblings, even adults who have been vaccinated, especially with live virus vaccines. I have seen it happen many times in clients' histories since then, so fortunately I learned from this and many experiences since then that the vaccine history of my client is just one piece of their history. Now I look at siblings, age peers, parents, and when they were vaccinated for clues to my clients' autism and other problems.

I would like to think that is this sort of thinking outside the box that has inspired our whole professional staff at Homeopathy Center of Houston to continue to improve and speed children toward recovery more than I was able to a few years ago.

If only I had known then what I know now...but the good news is, every child I work with teaches me something new. The fun part is knowing how far we've come, and how many children we've seen recover from autism or PDD-NOS. The best part is that we're still learning and improving. For us, that is what it's all about.

Kids can and do recover, and without drugs. Parents, it is possible.
