It will be your responsibility whether or not to pursue any advice you receive during a consultation.
- The condition: 8-year-old diagnosed with ADD; prescribed Concerta 36MG. Was on this medication for a year. According to his parents, while he was on Concerta he was “a zombie, antisocial, and he lost quite a bit of weight, but he was doing well in school”. Because of the negative effects, he was taken off of medication for the summer; old symptoms soon returned.
- Cathleen's remedy recommendation: "Heavy metals detox, nutritional support, and a remedy specifically selected for this child’s unique case, which included rhythmic tapping and jumping from one subject to the next: Tarentula."
- Recovery: From the parents: “Since beginning our treatment with Cathleen we're happy to say that our son is more calm and focused, maintains a healthy body weight and is acting like himself. He is also doing very well in school where he recently was awarded his first-ever achievement certificate in math.”
Case #2: Autism
- The condition: 8-year-old boy with sensory, social and communication issues; a diagnosis of falling within the Autism Spectrum. Very oral (fingers, clothing, objects always in the mouth), tongue protrudes, interested in playing with babies toys, hyper active; also very social at school.
- Cathleen's remedy recommendation: "A combination of heavy metals detox, classical homeopathy specific to this child¹s case (Thuja followed by Baryta phos.) and nutritional mineral support."
- Recovery: "Our son's previous need to constantly put random objects in his mouth and to make "funny noises" has reduced. He is also calmer with an increased awareness of his surroundings and has a very strong desire to make more friends."
On the first appointment after recommending the heavy metals detox and the first remedy, this child walked through the front door to my office, stopped directly before me and said, "I love those drops (referring to the detox). I feel better." Upon observation I noted that he was no longer allowing his tongue to protrude, nor was he interested in the children¹s toys available to him, but instead wished to sit at my desk next to his mother and speak with us."
Case #3: Acute Therapy
- The condition: With flu season in full swing, Peter called me for a phone consultation with the following symptoms: He was feeling unusually chilly ("I can't get warm"), tired, and weak. He had been constipated for two days before the onset of these symptoms. In addition, he had been working a lot of overtime lately and, therefore, drinking more coffee than usual. He noticed that he had also become highly sensitive to noise and odors.
- Cathleen's remedy recommendation: "While speaking with Peter, I discovered that, along with the symptoms he reported, he was feeling angry about the number of hours that his manager expected him to work. This fact, combined with his aches, chills, and constipation, led me to recommend Nux vomica 30c twice daily until he noticed his flu symptoms lifting."
- Recovery: Peter took the remedy and immediately fell into a deep, refreshing sleep. Within a few days, his flu symptoms were completely gone, plus, he said he felt much calmer at work.
