Many
of these questions are answered in detail in the book. We have
compiled these summaries for your convenience.
Can
homeopathy help me or my child with ADD?
Most
children with ADD can potentially benefit from homeopathic treatment;
however, each case is individual. The cases in this book cover
a wide range of behaviors and problems and provide a good idea
of the scope of homeopathic practice. If you have reservations,
specific questions, or your or your child's case is very complicated,
call the homeopath first to make sure he or she feels that there
is a good chance of homeopathy benefiting you.
My
child's psychiatrist says his ADD is caused by a biochemical imbalance.
Can homeopathy help him?
Homeopathy
believes that any biochemical imbalance is a result of an overall
imbalance in a person rather than the cause of ADD. It is through
bringing the whole person into balance that not only can the symptoms
of ADD be improved, but most of the individual's other complaints
as well. The goal of homeopathy is to bring deep and long-lasting
balance into the person's life and health rather than just to
regulate serotonin, dopamine, or some other neurotransmitter or
chemical. When the person becomes balanced, the body's chemistry
will automatically normalize as part of the overall healing process.
How long will I have to continue homeopathic treatment?
Most
patients need to continue under the care of a homeopath for at
least two years. Significant progress is often noted within the
first one to three months, as is evident in many of the cases
that we have presented. Many people who are pleased with the results
of their homeopathic treatment choose to use homeopathy for the
rest of their lives.
