Role of Homeopathy in Autism

@sunnyag16
Hi there...I would encourage you to find out more about complementary therapies and would not discount homeopathy if this is something your open to. Differentthings work for different people and nobody can say this or that is right or wrong ...its what suits the individual. We are treated by a health system that has many treatments that are not evidence based if truth is said. We all have to be more proactive i feel to educate ourselves and find the best ways of managing our conditions and just because something is not evidence based does not mean it is useless..I would look for the governing body for homeopathy and research a bit more if i was you . Good luck finding your way and i agree joing a neurodiversity group will be a good move .

I never said "treated" please dont mis quote me. I never advocated homeopathy as a "alternative " to any medicines either..I believe in a intergrated medical model where patients are able to find what suits them as individuals. Sometimes for whatever reason a patient needs to find complementary ways to manage their health issues as a " treatment" as in recovery is not the issue. By the way Acupuncture is not a alternative medicine it is also a complementary medicine that is not "proven " to work as all research states more trials required as there is a difficulty fitting the mechanism of health benefits into a scientific model .Also I would also recommend that good acupuncture be defined as someone who has trained in Traditional Chinese medicine and is part of the British Acupuncture Council as there are  western medical practitioners such as physiotherapist and doctors who attend training in dry needling who dont ( and are not members of the Acupuncture Council) understand the holistic model which as a Bsc Hons Acupuncturist myself I do and also have the knowledge to understand complimentary therapies in a wider context. By the way Acupuncture does not help everybody but like you said treatment is not the  need here.....maybe Homeopaathy could help in this case. My daughter used it for Childbirth and she swears by it ...she had her baby at.home with the help of independent midwives homeopathy and gas and air ! She also used moxibustion (used by acupuncturist) to turn her breech baby to enable the home birth. I believe in try it and see if its useful for the individual it is not that i advocate not using our healthcare system as in alternative methods. I think it is wrong to take away a option that may help the person involved.

I respect your opinion but I dont agree with you so I guess we have to agree to disagree on differing views. There are some things that dont fit into a scientific experiment but are still as valid IMHO. As you prefer science maybe i can change your mind on Acupuncture as it has been proved scientifically to have been around since prehistoric times? Our western medicine is very very recent and we have treatments available today that have not even had scientific trials. Our medical system was founded on anatomy studies and since body snatching was rife 200 years ago in the infancy of these studies i think that shows how recent our medical system evolved! unlike Acupuncture that is over 5000 years old. Also considered as pseudo-science .

have read widely on the opposing views of complementary therapies and still hold firm that not everything can be assessed using the scientific model and believe this is what stops scientist working out what is occuring when the placebo effect is triggered. The placebo effect is very interesting again IMHO and could lead to greater knowledge in medicine in  itself. I have a BSc Hons aka Science degree.
