CEASE THERAPY

Treating Autism and other Autism Spectrum Disorders with Homeopathy

The CEASE approach to treating autism “…stands out among many others for its clarity, simplicity, and, perhaps most importantly, its focus on cause. The fact that it costs a fraction of some other therapies is a bonus and makes it accessible to parents staggering under the cost of treating their autistic child”.

J.B. Handley, Co-Founder Generation Rescue – Jennny McCarthy’s autism organisation, in the foreword to Dr. Tinus Smits’ Autism Beyond Despair – Cease Therapy – Homeopathy has the answers

The therapy was developed by Dutch Homeopath Dr. Tinus Smits, who until his untimely death in early April 2010 had treated successfully over 300 autistic children. Dr. Smits’ colleague, Dutch Homeopath Ton Jansen has added valuable information to this therapy from his own extensive experience in treating autistic children.

CEASE Therapy consists of systematic detoxification by tracking down and eliminating causative factors of illness such as

vaccination

medication

environmental toxins

using homeopathic preparations of the substances that caused the autism.

Clinical experience has shown that it works in almost all cases, except when there is brain damage.


What is involved?

1. Homeopathy and Isotherapy:

Essential: The detoxification of the various causative substances using homeopathically prepared remedies made from these substances that possibly triggered the autism. These are usually administered twice weekly over the course of eight weeks, in increasing homeopathic potency. Courses may have to be repeated, and different substances may have to be detoxified.

Often in conjunction with the detox: The treatment with Classical Homeopathy (using a single remedy that can provoke resonance in the child and thus restore equilibrium) and Inspiring Homeopathy (a modern form of classical homeopathy developed by Dr. Smits to treat universal human problems such as lack of self-confidence, guilt, old traumas, lack of grounding etc) to treat the disturbances that are not directly linked to toxic substances.

In some cases in conjunction with the detox: The use of Nosode therapy, using homeopathic remedies made from a disease-causing microbe or diseased tissue (so highly diluted that no trace of the original substance remains in the remedy)

2. Supplementation

The use of orthomolecular medicine (i.e. naturally occurring substances, particularly nutrients); it is not essential but highly recommended as it speeds up healing ; it involves

the use of relatively high doses of vitamin C (both water and fat soluble)

the supplemental administration of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil with EPA and DHA) to help restore the integrity of the brain function

the administration of zinc and magnesium in conjunction with vitamin C to restore the copper/zinc ratio and to reactivate Metallothionein. Metallothionein is a protein that in its different forms is present in mouth, stomach, in large quantities in the intestines, and also in our brain; it is our first line of defence against heavy metals.

3. Dietary Advice

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride has shown clearly with her GAPS therapy that a proper diet together with adequate supplementation can help autistic children a long way. The CEASE Therapy does, however, only include minimal dietary advice, as Dr. Smits found that parents are already overwhelmed by the problems they are facing with an autistic child, and that excellent results can still be achieved. We advise

the use of healthy, organic food without sugar and other additives

the use of the homeopathic remedy Saccharum officinale to restore the integrity of the intestines; it can help to reduce the insatiable appetite many autistic children have, restore lack of appetite and reduce sugar cravings.

For parents who are interested in learning more about healthy diets: I also run one day “Food, glorious food” workshops, where you can find out more about (and taste) traditional, healthy food. See my “Events” page for details.
