A Girl Diagnosed with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder Malia was 2 years and 10 months old when her mother first consulted with me in January of 2022. She was diagnosed with autism and pervasive developmental delay. She had only just started to point and was very delayed with her speech, using only one word to express her needs occasionally. Her eye contact was poor, she had sensory issues around noise, became easily overstimulated and frustrated and hated having her hair brushed. She did not interact with other children at daycare at all. She was very hyperactive and restless and hated being constrained in a stroller: “She is moving all the time. She only spends one or two minutes on an activity and then quickly moves on. It’s very hard for her to learn if she will not sit still and listen or look at our mouths when we talk to see how we are forming words. She has trouble following two step instructions.” She also had a history of constipation and was not yet potty trained or even aware of stool in her diaper. She was a very picky eater and had difficulties chewing and swallowing. During the consultation mom followed Malia with her phone and I was able to observe just how restless this child was, aimlessly wandering from room to room, touching this, picking up that for moment, then moving to another place again. This went on throughout the entire hour of our visit. Health History The pregnancy with Malia was good and healthy. Mom had a DTaP shot and a few ultrasounds, she could not remember how many. The baby got vitamin K and Hep B shots at birth and the regular vaccine schedule later. “Within two hours of being born the problems started, she could not stop crying, could not be soothed, could not sleep and was nursing all the time. At six months constipation started and after her shots at 12 months (MMR and Pedvax Hib) her mouth hung open with her tongue out and she was drooling. Her development stopped between 12-18 months.” To me the restless wandering really stood out and Malia received US as her first remedy, although she also had obviously been impacted by her vaccines as well. Homeopathic Ultrasound Two weeks later mom happily reported: “She is repeating words more and saying new words. She has been calling us mama and daddy. She looks more awake. She has been going to the potty and saying ‘potty’ and is now aware of poop in her diaper. And she is wandering around much less.” A month later she had taken Ultrasound in 200C and 1M. “1M US caused loose stools with terrible smell.” (A detox reaction of note). She is much calmer since US. Today she played with play dough for 30 minutes, this would have been unthinkable earlier. Her eye contact is much better, and she is much more connected to us. She will request things and answer questions now.” I have seen this increased level of awareness and connection also with other children after taking US, sometimes within minutes. One autistic 9-year-old boy under my care who had been exposed to at least ten prenatal ultrasounds went over to his 5-month-old baby brother and hugged and kissed him tenderly within 30 minutes of his first dose of Ultrasound 200C. Previously he had ignored him or even tried to hurt him. Disconnection is a key feature of children with autism. They are generally not that interested in interacting with others. Homeopathic Proving of Ultrasound From the proving: “As the painful influence could not be avoided, the only option was to shut down. Four of us expressed a desire to be alone: ‘I only want to be alone and to meditate.’ – ‘I want to disconnect, to curl up into a ball, tighter and tighter, in order to keep the light and the noise out.’” “This is how a soul is taken, the heart of a living being sacrificed on the altar of technology. But now we reclaim our soul, we rage, we scream. You will hear us until you return what belonged to us. We are asking for the return of our sacred, innermost place. Give us sanctuary, give us quiet!” During provings, healing symptoms can be experienced as well. Both sides of the equation are expressed. We continued with US and then added a remedy made from the Hep-B vaccine she had at birth. After this Malia suddenly started painting! Mom sent me photos of her artwork and it was astounding, demonstrating a wonderful sense of shape and colour in a such young, barely three-year-old. From then on Mom noted that whenever she stopped painting, she needed a higher dose of US again. It was amazing! It was also interesting that the combination of the US and Hep-B vaccine remedy is what helped with this, as of course the Hep-B vaccine is usually the first vaccine given after birth. Health, Happy, Creative and Brilliant It has been a little over two years now since I first started working with Malia and I’m happy to report that she is now by all accounts a neurotypical, healthy, happy, creative and absolutely brilliant child. She just turned five, is social and talkative and already excelling in math. Mom just messaged: “She is SO smart. She took one look at a page with isolated shapes of different countries and knew every single one! I have no idea how, we don’t go over that at home or in school. She does have a globe she loves though and is very interested in geography.” Mom sent me a photo of the page with the shapes, and I only recognized half the countries… Malia had a lot of different remedies to help her recover step by step, but the US remedy was one of the most important ones for her. From the proving: “I feel grounded again, strong and safe.” - “I am calm again.” “I am home with myself again. Now I can reconnect with others, this was not possible before. “I go to the deepest and darkest part of the ocean. This is the womb of creation. My heart is opening and expanding. I touched the core of life.” “I hear angels whisper and giggle. Their message is love.” Homeopathic Ultrasound - an Indispensable Remedy in my Practice Based on the proving information, research and my and other’s clinical experience, prenatal ultrasounds have the potential to destroy the sacred space of darkness and safety in a mother's womb, create overstimulation of the senses and potentially the need to shut down and disconnect. In sensitive babies or with frequent and extended ultrasound exposure this may trigger or contribute to symptoms of ADHD and autism. Girls are more protected against developing autism, but extra ultrasounds may negate that protection. Homeopathic ultrasound may become an indispensable remedy to help heal such children and hopefully contribute to protect our children in the future from harm through such unnecessary exposures, returning creation of human life to the sacred wisdom of nature.
