How I Support Autism Cases with Homeopathy and Naturopathic Medicine
I believe that neurodivergence is a beautiful and essential part of the evolution of human consciousness. However, when a child is struggling with social interactions, anxiety, sensory processing challenges, or developmental delays, it often reflects a taxed nervous system in need of support and healing. My goal is not to “normalize” a child, but to help them heal so they can more fully express their unique gifts in the world.
When approaching ASD cases, I look for three key signs of healing:
Resolution of developmental delays (including speech)
Improved social engagement
Integration of the sensory system
The Initial Intake Process
The initial intake is a 90-minute deep dive into the child’s health history. Together with the parents, we build what I call a health timeline—a roadmap to understand what events may have impacted the child’s vital force and where healing is needed.
We begin with pregnancy and birth. What did the fetus experience in utero? Did the mother endure intense emotions or trauma such as fear, betrayal, or grief? These experiences can imprint the child and shape their energetic pattern. For example, a mother who experienced betrayal during pregnancy may have a child who resonates with remedies that carry similar themes. Birth trauma is another critical area. In cases where the birth was especially difficult, matridonal remedies (those made from amniotic fluid, placenta, etc.) can be deeply healing. If there was birth shock leading to jaundice, remedies such as Aconite may be necessary. We also evaluate pharmaceutical interventions like Pitocin, which may require detoxification.
We then move into the newborn stage and create a timeline up to the first appearance of symptoms. Many parents describe a point of regression—whether after a vaccine, anesthesia, and in one case Miralax use. I explain to parents that while it's essential to detox the substance linked to regression, it’s equally important to address the layers that led up to it. Often, it’s not the single exposure but the accumulation of stressors and toxins that overwhelm the body. When detox pathways are compromised and there is a genetic susceptibility, that final exposure becomes the “straw that broke the camel’s back.”
We also assess the child’s current presentation: Are there concerns around insomnia, PICA, anxiety, meltdowns, or sensory processing? I match constitutional homeopathic remedies to the current symptom picture and often begin with a homeopathic detox protocol. I also review the family and parental health history to identify potential epigenetic vulnerabilities and select an appropriate miasmatic remedy. In homeopathy, miasms represent ancestral patterns that can predispose individuals to certain chronic conditions. In ASD cases, I often see patterns related to Carcinosin, Tuberculinum, and Syphilinum.
Healing the miasmatic terrain, in combination with detox and constitutional remedies, can bring profound results—children may begin speaking, regain milestones, and express a level of vitality that conventional medicine considers unattainable.
Integrating Naturopathic Testing and Support
If necessary, I recommend functional testing through a naturopathic lens. For children with gut issues or selective eating, comprehensive stool testing can uncover pathogens, dysbiosis, or inflammation. I will also suggest testing for heavy metals, environmental toxins, and MTHFR mutations. These tests help us assess the toxic load and the body’s detox capacity.
MTHFR mutations can reduce the body’s production of glutathione, a key antioxidant needed to eliminate toxins. If we see high levels of toxicity and evidence of a methylation issue, I may support with methylated folate, liposomal glutathione, or pectasol. However, I typically introduce supplements only after a few months of homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy helps reawaken the vital force and remove energetic blocks, which increases the body's ability to absorb and utilize supplements more effectively.
Sarcodes and Gemmotherapy for Advanced Healing
After detox and foundational healing, I may incorporate sarcodes and gemmotherapy. Sarcodes are homeopathic remedies made from healthy tissue (such as brain matter, hormones, or organs) and can help the body reestablish proper function in those systems. In ASD cases, sarcodes like corpus callosum, cerebellum, thalamus, myelin sheath, and microglia can be used for neurological support.
Gemmotherapy remedies are plant stem cell extracts that support weakened organ systems. While gentle and effective, they do not offer the same targeted specificity as sarcodes. Instead, they work more broadly to strengthen organ function and promote systemic cohesion. I typically introduce gemmotherapy after foundational gut healing and detoxification are well underway.
Case Study: Preverbal 5-Year-Old Girl with ASD
Initial Presentation:
5-year-old female, preverbal at first appointment
Developmental regression noted at 15 months
Key symptoms: teeth grinding, restlessness, poor concentration, finger stimming, sensory sensitivities (textures and noise), alternating constipation and loose stools
Initial Plan:
Prescribed:
Tuberculinum Koch (constitutional/miasmatic support)
ProQuad vaccine detox
Podophyllum for alternating stool patterns
Recommended functional testing: comprehensive stool test, heavy metal panel, MTHFR gene mutation panel
Progress – First 2 Months:
Began to vocalize: said “pa” (for papa) and “bye”
Stool consistency improved
More social interaction and awareness
Resolution of teeth grinding
Calmer mood with fewer meltdowns
Notable improvement in eye contact (60–70%) and focus
Parent disclosed previously unmentioned PICA; Calcarea carbonica added to protocol
8 Weeks Post-Intake:
Test results revealed:
MTHFR C677T SNP (methylation dysfunction)
High levels of aluminum, lead, antimony, nickel, silver, tin, and cadmium on heavy metal testing
Began detox support with:
Methylfolate drops (to address MTHFR SNP)
Liposomal glutathione and Pectasol for detox support
Mother reported within 4 weeks of starting glutathione and Pectasol, her daughter’s speech exploded
Following Month:
Introduced homeopathic Poly Metal (for metal detox)
Resulted in another significant jump in both expressive and receptive language
2–6 Months Post-Start:
Continued ProQuad vaccine detox
Each increase in potency corresponded with notable gains in language and awareness
By 6 months:
Eye contact near 100%
PICA resolved
Anxiety gone
Restlessness improved by about 50%
Decrease in stimming although still present
6-Month Mark – Lab Results Delayed but Returned:
Stool testing revealed:
Severe gut dysbiosis
Positive for H. pylori and candida overgrowth
Elevated calprotectin (suggestive of gut inflammation)
Treatment:
Homeopathic gut nosodes for microbial balance
Biocidin (broad-spectrum herbal antimicrobial) for 4 weeks
Followed by probiotics and N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG) to repair gut lining
Results After Gut Protocol:
Stool normalized in both shape and consistency
Noted that on days she took ProQuad 10M, her stool was foul-smelling—indicating detox through the GI system, which was a positive sign
Continued Progress – 6 to 12 Months:
Continued steady developmental improvements
Began detoxing a new vaccine
Each round led to increased awareness and responsiveness to name (80–85%)
Speech continued to improve:confidently saying the first syllable of many words, and mumbling latter portions, stringing several words together
Introduced brain sarcodes:
Corpus callosum, cerebellum, and thalamus
Also added myelin sheath and microglia sarcodes for targeted neurological support
End of Year 1 Summary:
“It’s like a different child,” her mother shared. “Of course, there is still more progress to be made, but she has improved 60–70% since starting.”
Her speech continued to grow
She became noticeably calmer and more emotionally regulated
She initiated potty training and began successfully using the toilet for both urination and bowel movements with minimal prompting
Reflection:
In complex neurodevelopmental cases, healing is not overnight—it is a layered and dynamic process. With consistent homeopathic support, targeted detox, miasmatic healing, and parental partnership, significant developmental progress is possible. For many children, the first year yields transformational shifts, and the full healing arc may take two to three years.
