The Tasmanian Devil - Homeopathic Ultrasound Helps A Boy with Severe Hyperactivity

IN BRIEF

A boy with a diagnosis of ADHD with very poor focus, extreme restlessness and trouble controlling his body improves with a homeopathic remedy created from ultrasound. The family had nicknames him 'The Tasmanian Devil' because he never stopped moving and often ran into people.

The Tasmanian Devil

Sawyer, a 9-year-old boy had a diagnosis of ADHD with very poor focus, lack of impulse control and trouble controlling his body. He was also diagnosed with a speech and articulation disorder and sensory processing disorder.

“We call him the ‘Tasmanian Devil’ because he never stops moving, running, jumping, and climbing”, mom shared. “And he is always in a hurry. He also has trouble controlling his body and often runs into people and accidentally hurts them. He puts his clothes on backwards, his shoes are on the wrong feet, he hates taking the time to brush his teeth, he can’t wait to get to the next thing. He is also argumentative and must have the last word or tries to make up the rules or gets very silly and makes silly noises.”

Sawyer also had fine motor skill issues plus, of course, was in too much of a hurry to write neatly. Mom showed me some of his writing samples which looked like chicken scratch.

I was able to observe the boy on camera during the appointment and he was constantly on the go, including jumping and swinging in large a playroom and running laps between rooms.

A Fussy Baby

“Sawyer was very fussy and demanding as a baby and was always vocalizing although his speech was delayed. He just made a lot of noise, constantly. The toddler years were tough, too, he was into everything, everywhere, always running off, getting into people’s cars.”

I felt a bit flummoxed by the fact that he only had two prenatal ultrasounds  - over the past ten years I had learned that some children with extreme restlessness had been exposed to more than two or three prenatal ultrasounds and that a homeopathic remedy made from ultrasound could be quite helpful in such cases.  I did mention this to mom and received a confession in an email in short order:

 “I was working as physiotherapist when I was pregnant with Sawyer, as was one of my colleagues at the time. We often would ultrasound ourselves quickly at work on the clinic ultrasound to see our babies. I forgot until today!” Aha!! There is was then!

Sawyer received homeopathic ultrasound of course.

On follow-up after two months: “With US he immediately seemed more content, less on the go and not needing to be told multiple times to get his shoes on. In the morning, he can now get dressed and brush his teeth by himself, this never used to happen. I watched him write the other day and his writing was much better, more legible, he took his time more! And he has only put his clothes on backwards once since taking the remedy!”

He has done very well on US and some other remedies since.

Ultrasound and ADHD?

Perhaps many cases of ADHD are at least partially related to prenatal ultrasounds? What is it with the epidemic of ADHD? And, of course, almost all children on the spectrum are also hyperactive, often severely so. Most of the children I have seen who have benefited from homeopathic US were extraordinarily restless, often wandering or moving aimlessly from place to place. Many of them were also clumsy, often running into things or people, dropping things.

From a homeopathic proving of ultrasound [1]:

“I feel restless and in a hurry.”

“I am overstimulated like after too much coffee, I need to rock back and forth on my chair. I am impatient.”

“I had little patience with my family.” 

"I feel invaded, disrespected, raw and exposed.”

“I have a sense of great vulnerability and I feel helpless.”

“A dark force is penetrating me; it reminds me of Star Wars.”
 
This remedy has become a mainstay in my practice, I always think of it now when I see a great irritability and fussiness from birth, excessive restlessness and aimless moving around and/or if mom had extra prenatal ultrasounds.

Notes: A number of homeopathic pharmacies produce the remedy, including Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy in the UK, Remedia in Austria, Hahnemann Apothek in Holland and I&E Organics in the US.
