Shawn's
preschool teacher recommended that his hearing be tested at age three
because of his difficulty listening. When his hearing proved normal,
he was put on Dexedrine. The medication speeded him up, caused him
to be "emotionally distraught," and resulted in bedwetting.
When Shawn was six, his mother decided to try homeopathy. It was hard
for him to sit still in class. His attention span was short. He got
sidetracked very easily from even a simple command. He was unable
to focus on the teacher's instructions. Shawn was extremely impatient.
If not allowed to do something, he became very upset and would not
listen to reason. He talked loudly and became carried away easily.
He loved television and hated going to bed.
Shawn's behavior was erratic. He was affectionate one minute and aggressive
the next. He was not good at following rules when he played games
with other children. He had trouble mingling with them and had a tendency
to push them. When they did something to him, he retaliated by hitting
and kicking. When he became really angry, he screamed, threatened
to hit everyone, and told them he hated them. Shawn always had one
habit or another. He bit his nails to the extreme when younger. Later
he grabbed at his genitals. Now he picked his nose habitually. He
also stuttered.
He was a very creative child. He loved Halloween because of the skeletons,
witches, ghosts, bats, and scarecrows, even though he was afraid of
them. What was most outstanding about Shawn was his excessive, erratic
nature. Everything Shawn did was extreme, whether talking, staying
up too late, lashing out at others, or picking his nose.
We treated Shawn with Medorrhinum, the same medicine described
earlier in the case of Carl, one of the adults with ADHD. Two months
later, Shawn's mother reported that he had much less anger and was
no longer hitting his brother. His concentration was much improved.
He could now focus on tasks and could sit through church without wiggling.
He was not nearly as impatient and could entertain himself while waiting
for an hour. He was reading and sleeping better. One year after he
started homeopathic treatment, Shawn's mother reported that he was
a normal kid. Since the homeopathy, he had done very well in school
and has gotten along fine with the other children. He has not needed
another dose of the Medorrhinum. |
