“The introduc.on of homeopathy forced the old school doctor to s.r around and learn something of a ra.onal nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived
the a;empts of the allopaths to destroy it.” -‐-‐Mark Twain, Harper's Bazaar , 1890

Presenta.on Overview
• About Homeopathy: ExplanaQons and Origins • How Homeopathy Works • Primary Types of Homeopathy • The Houston Homeopathy Method (HHM) • HHM for AuQsm and PANDAS • Case Studies
What is Homeopathy? • A holisQc, or “whole body” approach to detoxificaQon and healing
• A stand-‐alone system of healthcare • PharmaceuQcal and chemical-‐free • Non-‐toxic • Non-‐suppressive • FDA regulated via the HPUS/HPCUS • The fastest growing form of alternaQve healthcare
History • Researched and developed by Samuel Hahnemann, M.D. (1755-‐1843)
• Believed in gentle, rapid, permanent healing
• Based on the “Law of Similars” • UQlized “minimum dose” • Due to success, homeopathy rapidly spread across Europe then to the US in early 1800’s
Samuel Hahnemann, M.D.
• Came to US during cholera and yellow fever epidemics • Early 1800’s-‐Homeopathic medical schools/teaching hospitals
were established in US. • 1844-‐ American InsQtute of Homeopathy was formed . • 1847-‐ AMA was founded to “wipe the scourge of homeopathy
from the face of the earth” due to loss of MDs to homeopathy. • By 1930, graduates of homeopathic medical schools (which
taught both convenQonal and homeopathic medicine) were barred from sifng for medical exams, and the AMA had proclaimed itself the only governing authority over medicine in America.
• In spite of the AMA’s quest, the first medical society in the US, the American InsQtute of Homeopathy, sQll operates today.
History and Discord
How Homeopathy Works
• Uses minimum doses of serially diluted substances
• Follows “The Law of Similars” -‐-‐ Like treats like • Homeopathic Materia Medica (body of knowledge) applied to match correct substances to symptoms
• Remedies work in harmony with our natural healing and life forces (a.k.a. The Vital Force)
Homeopathic Remedies • Derived from plants, minerals, metals, animals, chemicals, or virtually any substance that can be ground or dissolved, and diluted
• Forms include liquid drops, sucrose medicated pellets, tablets, capsules, topical
loQons and ointments

How Remedies are Made
• Substances are serially diluted in water or alcohol • Potency is determined by how many serial diluQon steps are used
• Succession between each diluQon is key • Higher diluQon = Higher potency
1:10 1:100 1:1000 1:10,000
1 X 2X 3X 4X
Homeopathic Dilu.on: The Gentle, Safe, and Natural Approach • The serial diluQon preparaQon of homeopathic medicines renders them non-‐toxic
• Facilitates overall self-‐healing – does not ajack pathogens directly with strong chemicals
• Helps the body rebalance naturally to systemaQcally restore equilibrium and health
• In its enQre history, homeopathy has never caused serious harm or death
• There are no FDA black box warnings on any homeopathic remedies
The Law of Similars Example: Red onion /Allium cepa • Exposure Symptoms:
– Watery eyes – Streaming nose – Desire for fresh air
• Allium cepa helps – Cold or cold-‐like symptoms – Hay fever symptoms
The Law of Similars Example: Bee / Apis mellifica
• Symptoms of a bee sQng: – Red, hot, swollen, sQnging pain – Can look like or cause hives – Can cause anaphylaxis
• Apis mellifica helps: – Bites, sQngs – Rashes with sQnging, red swollen, hot areas
– Hives – Anaphylaxis
Onions, Bees and The Vital Force • The term Vital Force represents the living energies that govern, balance, and sustain all health and life.
• Examples: – The “immune system” (in medical jargon) – The energy to grow, repair, heal, and sustain life – The driving force for homeostasis in living cells
• The homeopath chooses the correct substances (e.g. bee venom for bee sQng-‐like symptoms) and at the right diluQon levels (potency) to resonate with the natural, Vital Force to detoxify and heal the body
Homeopathy: Supports the Body’s Innate Self-‐Healing Abili.es
• Homeopathic remedies provide signal to the body’s own healing mechanisms, supporQng and noQfying these systems to do the work of detoxificaQon and healing
• Homeopathic remedies do not chemically ajack microbes as drugs do – they simply alert the natural defense mechanisms of the immune system so they can work as designed to: – IdenQfy pathogens and determine method of ajack – Destroy or eliminate pathogens
• Since remedies don’t ajack or kill pathogens directly, pathogens do not develop pathological resistance to homeopathic remedies – nor do they become something more virulent and insidious.

• Classical Homeopathy – Most common method pracQced in the USA – Uses a single remedy for all complaints
• Homotoxicology – Uses combinaQon remedies to remove toxins stored in the body’s
terrain and support reversal of disease progression – SomeQmes referred to as “homeopathic detox”
• Sequen.al Homeopathy – Works in reverse chronological order / can target causaQonal events
of chronic complaints – Uses mulQple remedies in clearing packets to aid detoxificaQon – SystemaQcally eliminates layered pathogens, vaccines, chemicals,
traumas
Homeopathic Methods Addi.onal Homeopathic Tools • Gemmotherapy
– Plant based, low-‐potencies – Fast acQng for current symptoms/support of systems
• Oligotherapy – Mineral-‐based – Aids cell respiraQon and mineral uQlizaQon/absorpQon
• German Biological Medicine – Cellular Reprogramming Therapy – Aids with Cell-‐wall deficient pathogens from anQbioQc usage
• Spagyric Medicine – Strong, highly bioacQve remedies from various plant sources
– Helpful with both acute symptoms and latent, chronic underlying condiQons caused by pathogens and toxicity
• Cytokine Therapy and Growth Factors – NEW to the homeopathic arsenal – Reduces chronic inflammaQon – Supports rebalancing Th1 and Th2 – Growth factors signal normal cell renewal – CombinaQon of CT and GF helpful with TBDs (Lyme, etc.), OCD, RA, immune dysregulaQon
Houston Homeopathy Method Hope & Recovery
Why yet another method?
While each of the primary homeopathic methods has much to offer on its own, tough cases from AuQsm,
PANDAS, and other ailments demand a more organized, comprehensive in-‐depth approach.
About HHM • Exclusive to the Homeopathy Center of Houston • SequenQal Homeopathy is the core • Combines and chooses among methods of homeopathy to
deeply individualize, and fully support deep detoxificaQon and healing
• Based on research from the biomedical model of auQsm – Because kids can’t tell us what hurts – Learned what systems were malfuncQoning – Applied homeopathic principals to remediate problems
• Requires we be “Lyme Disease Literate” • Individualized to each person’s specific needs and history
“If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.”
-‐Benjamin Franklin
“To treat differently, one must think differently.”

What HHM Does DIFFERENTLY • Greatly expanded Sequen>al Homeopathy monthly clears to
include: – All concurrent vaccine clearing plus toxins and metals – Old injuries and suppressed infecQons – Drug history and residual effects
• Daily support of organs and systems throughout the clearing process as opposed to a classical single remedy
• HCH proprietary combinaQons based on the biomedical model
• German Biological Medicine for the special demands of “the auQsQc gut”
• ConQnual emoQonal support for release and processing • Focus on unburdening and rebuilding the immune system so
the body can do the work of healing
HHM: Clearing Causa.ons • All illness is result of many layersàOVERLOAD
– Germs don’t cause illness – suscep>bility does – GeneQc inherited weaknesses + inherited toxins – Toxic exposures
• Chemicals, heavy metals, drugs, vaccines
– Pathogens from illnesses and vaccines – Physical and/or emo>onal traumas
• SequenQally clearing in reverse order à – Natural healing of contribuQng traumas/toxinsà full recovery from chronic issues
HHM: A Full Arsenal • Monthly remedies in “sequenQal clearing packets” -‐
unlayering • Daily detox support remedies/homotoxicology -‐ draining
emunctories to allow bejer soil for health • Daily proprietary remedies-‐individualized for child and to support the clearing packets
• German Biological remedies-‐ cellular level healing • Gemmotherapies-‐ jump-‐starQng balance of organs and
systems • Oligo therapies-‐ restoring mineral balance • Miasms-‐ addressing geneQc weaknesses • Energized herbals-‐ removing blockages such as TBDs • Proprietary CombinaQons for emo>onal support • Cytokine Therapy to regulate inflammaQon
HHM: Emo.onal Support • Homeopathic proprietary combinaQons for emoQonal support play an integral role
• All children need to express and process emoQons • Natural healing recognizes that without emoQonal healing there can only be limited physical healing
• Contributes to improved behaviors • Supports processing of emoQons through other outlets such as dreams, tears or art
• Minimizes anxiety and meltdowns
HHM: Au.sm, OCD, Tics • Prevalence of OCD behaviors in ASD’s required focus and research on strep
• Discovered polymicrobial disease connecQons between strep, herpes and measles – Measles virus suppresses the immune system, increases suscepQbility to strep
– DNA binding relaQonship between viruses and bacteria
– Vaccines create chronic measles, strep and herpes – All 3 must be addressed together
HHM: PANDAs, OCD and Strep-‐Herpes-‐Measles Connec.on
• ASO and DNase levels are reduced in those tested • Improvements seen in:
– OCD – Tics – Anxiety – Speech – Seizures – SocializaQon – ToileQng
• Improvements are sustained, unlike the cycling seen with anQbioQcs and anQ-‐viral drugs

• Diminishes chronic symptoms related to individual traumas, including environmental contaminants, vaccines, pesQcides and other insults which can contribute to immune system overload and dysfuncQon
• Reduces: – Heavy metals (including burden in the brain) – Bacterial and viral Qters – Systemic inflammaQon – “Gut bugs” and dysbiosis
How Well is HHM Working? Clinical Observa.ons
Clinical Observa.ons Con.nued… • Improves dysregulated immune funcQon (normal fevers) • Endocrine rebalancing (growth rates normalize) • Hormone rebalancing (reduced high testosterone) • Brain and nervous system regulaQon (OCD diminished
and neurotransmijer rebalancing) • Systemic inflammaQon reducQon • ReducQon of mercury levels, even across BBB (per Dr.
Nataf) • Behavioral, cogniQve, communicaQon and academic
improvements • Assists in regulaQon of systemic, chronic, unfocused
inflammaQon
We have 100 children who are no longer auPsPc nor have PANDAS. They are NOT dependent on
supplements, they do NOT require special diets, aids, classes or therapists, or accommodaPons at school.
We have many more in the process of improving. Most children show improvement within the first 6 months. Some recover in 1-‐2 years. Some recover sooner. Others may take longer. Those who work with
homeopathy first usually recover fastest.
The Bo;om Line Evidence of Efficacy:
From our files, with many thanks to all our parents who gave us permission to spread the
word that there is more than hope.
There are real answers. There is real hope.
Measuring Progress: ATEC
• ATEC: Acronym for AuQsm Treatment EvaluaQon Checklist
• Developed by Dr. Bernard Rimland and Dr. Stephen Edelson, who were frustrated by the lack of effecQve tools to measure progress. Learn more at www.au>sm.org
• ATEC offers an overall view of how a child is doing behaviorally in four areas and assists in defining severity
• ATEC is widely accepted as an indicator of a child’s response to a parQcular treatment or approach
Never Lose Hope
Unfortunately, Qme limits the number of cases we can show in this presentaQon.
