Mothering Magazine Sponsored Chat with Amy Lansky--Amy's talks about her journey to try and help her three-year-old autistic son Max, finding the answer in homeopathy. As Max gradually made a complete recovery, she began to study this alternative therapy and eventually became a practitioner herself. Her best-selling Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy describes the history, philosophy, and science of homeopathic medicine, and includes the story of her son's cure along with dozens of first-person testimonials of cures for a variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions.

Webmama_Tina: tonite we are so happy to have amy lansky! :)
Webmama_Tina: amy why don't you introduce yourself
Webmama_Tina: and let us know when you're ready to start taking questions. :)
Webmama_Tina: (after your intro, i mean)
Webmama_Tina: i'll get the stragglers in here
AmyLansky: OK... Well, many of you might know me from my article in the Jan/Feb issue of Mothering.  I actually found out about homeopathy because of Mothering....
AmyLansky: My background was as a computer scientist (PhD researcher type from Stanford).  But then my son got autism -- about 12 years ago.  I discovered homeopathy through Mothering and we had an amazing experience -- described in the article.
cutie_patootie: hello
AmyLansky: I soon began studying homeopathy myself, eventually left my work in computer science, and wrote my book, which is called Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy" -- www.impossiblecure.com .  It's now one of the best-selling books on homeopathy -- it's a general intro, which tons of cure stories for a wide variety of ailments, and includes my family's experiences too... so it is also popular in the autism community"
purplepansy12002: hey everyone, is this the chat about homeopathy?
Webmama_Tina: yup!
Webmama_Tina: glad you made it!
AmyLansky: I'm also on the board of the National Center for Homeopathy ( www.nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org )

cutie_patootie: yey!  i sort of fell into this and I am so excited lol
purplepansy12002: ok cool
purplepansy12002: ?
AmyLansky: OK, I'm done for now... Ask anything you like.  Oh yeah, by the way, I do lots of referrals (I spend more of my time helping other parents on email, writing, speaking, etc. and only practice a little on the side)
AmyLansky: So if you would like to email me, send an email to lansky@impossiblecure.com
Webmama_Tina: ok angie, you got the queue?
cutie_patootie: ?
purplepansy12002: How long before you should notice a difference on a H remedy if it's the right one?
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):  dkeoshian  purplepansy12002  cutie_patootie
Webmama_Tina: there we go. :)
Webmama_Tina: looks like dkeoshian is first
dkeoshian: i find homeopathy terribly frustrating at times.  if i have a splitting headache, i can't stand having to go through 3 or 4 remedies and hours of pain to find the right one.  do you have any suggestions for how to make homeopathy easier?
Webmama_Tina: purple pansy, you're next :)
purplepansy12002: oh ok
AmyLansky: Well, it depends on what it's for.  If you are in an acute situation (e.g., flu, ear ache, etc.) you should notice a change really quickly.  Like within 1/2 hour.  A good sign in this situation is if you fall asleep or vomit and then fall asleep.  In a chronic case, even on the right remedy, it can take longer, though one would hope to notice something within a week.
purplepansy12002: It's for postpartum depression
AmyLansky: Hm, that's a toughie.  Well, it's true, homeopathy is often not for quick solutions".  It operates not by suppressing your symptoms (like conventional medicines do) but by actually removing the disease or disease tendency altogether.  So, if you tend to get a lot of headaches, the goal is to find the remedy that would remove this tendency altogether, not suppress a particular headache.  I have been very successful, myself, for example, achieving this for my menopausal headaches.  But to achieve this kind of thing, you need to see a practitioner."
AmyLansky: But quick prescribing for a true acute disease (and I would not put a headache in that category) is often easier.  Buy one of the home prescribing books like Dana Ullman's or Miranda Castro's.
purplepansy12002: Oh ok. It's just someone said they took sepia (which is what I started) for ppd and they noticed it the same day.
AmyLansky: By the way:  a handy tip.  If you do get a headache, reflect upon what happened just before that.  Often it's enough to get rid of it.  EFT is also helpful.
AmyLansky: In our family, we avoid suppression completely, so I would not medicate at all for a headache...
AmyLansky: I'm done.
dkeoshian: i have the ullman book, self-care.  what's EFT?  even for a headache that lasts for hours?
AmyLansky: This is in response to PPD.  Sepia is a very common remedy for this.  If it helped right away that's great!  That's ideal.  I'm just saying, it isn't always the case.  But you should definitely notice SOMETHING within a week, even if it's only very subtle.
solsticemom: ?
AmyLansky: If you have true headache problems that lasts hours on a regular basis -- e.g., migraine -- that falls into the category of a chronic disease treatment and you need to see a practitioner, not take OTC remedies yourself.  This has to be treated constitutionally", which means that the practitioner finds one remedy that matches you overall -- mentally, emotionally, and physically (this is classical homeopathy-- which is what I'm talking about)."
purplepansy12002: ?
AmyLansky: EFT, by the way, is Emotional Freedom Technique.  Nothing to do with homeopathy, but a very handy tool I use myself.  It involves tapping on meridian points.  Go to www.emofree.com    Very useful when you don't want to medicate yourself!
liser: My son has some delays, but he has oral motor problems. How will homeopathy help him?
Webmama_Tina: liser, we're taking turns

AmyLansky: Who's next?
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s): purplepansy12002   cutie_patootie    solsticemom
Webmama_Tina: did you get purple's question already? i know you got 2 at once there initially
purplepansy12002: to get treated homeopathically is it ok to see a naturopath instead of a homeopath?
AmyLansky: I think I answered that?  Did I?
AmyLansky: OK -- I got it now
hypnohobbit: ?
AmyLansky: If you want to really do homeopathy, my recommendation is to see a homeopathy or a naturopath who specializes in homeopathy.  You can tell if this is the case if they have the credential:  DHANP .  Most naturopaths get only very limited training in homeopathy, so you won't get the best homeopathy has to offer otherwise.
AmyLansky: The credentials to look for are:  CCH, RSHom(NA), DHANP, DHt
AmyLansky: Next.
cutie_patootie: i have the miranda castro book for pregnancy and baby....i can prescribe all right for common things.. but have the hardest time when it comes to a simple cold...stuffy and runny nose, cough...etc.  I get lost in the better for coffee" descriptions."
cutie_patootie: do i just disregard those descriptions when looking for a remedy?
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):  cutie_patootie  solsticemom  hypnohobbit
AmyLansky: Well, a simple cold is often something we shouldn't treat... It is the body learning how to heal sometimes, or the body getting rid of things.  If your child gets chronic colds, however, that's the time to see a practitioner and treat them as a whole.  For example, before I did homeopathy, I got more and more colds.  Now maybe I get a cold once a year and I do nothing but bed rest, etc.  and am over it in a few days.
cutie_patootie: and what would be your recommendation for the common cold for baby
cutie_patootie: what about nighttime relief because of stuffy nose etc
dkeoshian: ?
cutie_patootie: i rarely do anything right now except for a homemade chest rub, it is the nighttime uncomfortableness that i would like help with :)
AmyLansky: As far as better for coffee" etc.  Please remember that each remedy covers 100's of symptoms -- sometimes 1000's.  You want to match the overall gestalt of the remedy, not every symptom.  So if it's irrelevant, just ignore it.  The most important symptoms are the mental/emotional ones and modalities -- what makes things worse or better.  You might also check chapter 4 and 8 of my book."
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):  solsticemom   hypnohobbit   dkeoshian  MOD_Angie
AmyLansky: As far as nighttime relief of colds, you might also try humidifiers.  If you must suppress then you must, but it is great if you can avoid it.  If you actually know the constitutional remedy for your child, then giving it in an acute is also a good first step.
cutie_patootie: thank you
cutie_patootie: ?
AmyLansky: Also, one more thing -- be aware that things like Vicks Vaporub (mentholated types of things) antidote remedies.
AmyLansky: Next?
solsticemom: My son was diagnosed with PDD and sensory issues when he just turned 3.  He is now almost 3 1/2 and seems worse.  He's been having massive temper tantrum and I just don't know how to keep him calm.  He seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions?
AmyLansky: Are you seeing a homeopath? What kind of treatments are you doing?  I suggest you read the information here: www.impossiblecure.com/autism.html  and also buy and read my book.
solsticemom: I can't see a homeopath because I can't afford it.
solsticemom: (single mom, no job)

If you have a question, please post a single ?" and you'll be added to the queue. Have your question ready when your name is called."
solsticemom: He has started speech and occupational therapies
AmyLansky: Hm.  That is very difficult.  First start with the diets and see how far you get.  That's free. Can you qualify for any behavioral/language therapy offered by the state?  Next, remember -- no more vaccines.
mmmummy: ..what if a child has never had any vaccines but still has autism??
AmyLansky: If you tell me where you are located, maybe it's possible there is a practitioner or clinic nearby that does low-income treatment.  There's a clinic, for example, in San Francisco I know of.
solsticemom: I'm trying to get services through my state health right now.  And i haven't had him vaxed since his 12m
solsticemom: I'm in MA
AmyLansky: Finally, many homeopaths are very economical.  Compared to all the other autism therapies out there, it can be downright cheap.
AmyLansky: Send me an email (lansky@impossiblecure.com) and I'll try to recommend someone.  There is a school in Boston too that might take you as a teaching case.
solsticemom: Thank you.
aisraeltax: are there any recommendations to those of us who don't know much about homeopath but want to get started without feeling overwhelmed? i have purchased a few books but they basically name herbal remedies with a lot of cross references and its confusing.

hypnohobbit: I am a student of homeopathy and I just finished my first year.  My daughter developed thrush and my homeopath jumped at mercurius before taking her case.  I didn't feel right about that as her whole case was not taken into consideration.
hypnohobbit: my teacher suggests waiting to treat to let the vital force try to resolve it
hypnohobbit: what do you think?
AmyLansky: Hm.  I can't say what your homeopath is thinking of.  Is there a syphilitic miasm in your family?  Is your homeopath classical?  My view is that you should have a homeopath take the full case.
AmyLansky: O
hypnohobbit: there is but not very strong
hypnohobbit: she is classical and was taught in India
AmyLansky: I'm not sure if mercurius is specific for thrush or not -- I'd have to look it up.  Still, I would treat this constitutionally.
hypnohobbit: I agree, but would you postpone a consult to see if the vital force can handle it?
AmyLansky: In India they often prescribe more based on keynotes.  This may be what she's doing.  If it's the first remedy your child has, I would go a bit more cautiously.
AmyLansky: Sure you can wait a bit, but I wouldn't make her suffer for weeks or something.
hypnohobbit: neither of us is very symptomatic but she is now 10 weeks, this has been going on for about 8
AmyLansky: I would have her full case taken then.
hypnohobbit: I feel thrush never went away after nursing my son, I weaned him at 3 hoping to clear it for my newborn
AmyLansky: What is your remedy?  It might also be correct for your baby.
hypnohobbit: should I have my case retaken or hers or both?
hypnohobbit: Nat Mur
AmyLansky: Hers
AmyLansky: Maybe we should move on?
dkeoshian: so it sounds as though you're saying you don't tend to treat acute things, but let the body run its course.  do you do OTC things then?  i'm using the headache as an example b/c that's what i had last, but it was at 3 am and i could not sleep, not
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s): dkeoshian   MOD_Angie   cutie_patootie   purplepansy12002
aisraeltax: im sorry...this is my first time here MOD_Angie  MOD_Angie
Bestbirths: ?
dkeoshian: wanting to try to ride it out, i went through 3 remedies and gave up finally took advil.
AmyLansky: No, you can definitely treat acute things.  If they're not serious (cold, etc.) let the body heal on its own.  If it's serious, treat.  For a headache, if you know your constitutional remedy, try that if it's really bad.  Otherwise, suppress if you must.
dkeoshian: but any acute thing, wd. you just try to hold off w/homeopathy?
AmyLansky: Well, if someone's life was in danger, I would go to the hospital, but I'd try homeopathy on the way there.
dkeoshian: my constitutioal is carc M, should it always be taken first for acute?
AmyLansky: In many cases, it's better to take an advil than to throw a bunch of remedies at yourself, especially if you're undergoing constitutional treatment, because all those remedies will screw up your case.  That's why it's better to redose with your normal remedy and see if it helps.  Another option -- much less invasive -- is to take a deep sniff of the remedy (it really works, believe if or not).  You should discuss all this with your homeopath.
dkeoshian: thank you
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):  MOD_Angie cutie_patootie purplepansy12002  Bestbirths
MOD_Angie: what is your recommenddation for Seborrheic Psoriasis?
AmyLansky: Wow, psoriasis can be a real challenge.  Very difficult.  There is no specific remedy for it.  It could be one of 100's.  It 's constitutional treatment, I'm afraid -- based on the totality of all your symptom (mental + physical).  Also, be prepared for a long ride, especially if it's longstanding -- like man years.  One rule of thumb -- the shorter you've had something, the faster it usually is to treat.
MOD_Angie: we have ran into that already, I have been reading on it and I noticed it takes a long time to take care of it if at all
solsticemom: ?
AmyLansky: Yes, I have one patient with psoriasis.  She's improved maybe 40%, and it's been a couple of years.
AmyLansky: But that might just be my inadequacy!
MOD_Angie: wow thank you
AmyLansky: You should also do the home remedy kinds of things -- like oils, etc.
MOD_Angie: what type of oils?
AmyLansky: This patient likes' Dr. Mercola's coconut oil.  BTW -- this patient has has psoriasis for 20 years.  That's why it's such a challenge.
hypnohobbit: ?
MOD_Angie: same with my hubby who I want to help treat
AmyLansky: Find a good homeopath! :->
MOD_Angie: and it is getting worse, but I read today that stress inflames the problem more
AmyLansky: It really does.  I would also recommend EFT once again.  It's a winner.
MOD_Angie: do u have a website to find a local homeopath?
AmyLansky: Go to my book website and click on Autism and Referrals" -- look at the referral lists there.  That's what I use."
MOD_Angie: ok tyvm
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s): cutie_patootie  purplepansy12002   Bestbirths   solsticemom
cutie_patootie: what is your initial response to people who say they don't believe in homeopathy"?  Do you try to quick educate or just let it go?  Also can repost your website and book?  Thanks so much."
AmyLansky: First of all, my website it: www.impossiblecure.com
AmyLansky: In my experience, trying to convince a true skeptic is a waste of time.  There's an old saying -- (kind of snobby): homeopathy is for those who deserve it !;->  Anyway, that said, my book has turned some open-minded skeptics around -- like the husbands of many women.  My PhD  in computer science helps, plus Chapter 7 -- tons of studies are discussed.
AmyLansky: Finally, if you don't believe it's anything, then what's the harm in trying?
Webmama_Tina: 8 min left in this chat. :)
cutie_patootie: I'll throw the book at 'em" then lol"
cutie_patootie: thank you
AmyLansky: I'm happy to stay in the Chat till 10:15
Webmama_Tina: ok
AmyLansky: Next?
Webmama_Tina: purple, you're up!
purplepansy12002: Is there like a LOT of remedies for ppd, I mean if sepia isn't mine could it take forever to find the right one?
purplepansy12002: sorry i took 4ever
Kindermama: did I miss the homeopathy chat?
AmyLansky: Sepia is one of the more common ones, but PPD is the kind of thing that requires you find the remedy that matches you overall.  It could be one of many remedies, but my guess, off the top of my head, is that one of maybe 20 remedies may be commonly used.
purplepansy12002: ok and you said try it for a week to see a difference right?
AmyLansky: If you have a good homeopath, who takes your full case, I would give it maybe a few months of trying -- maybe 4-6 months.  You might only notice a little change at first.  There might be changes of dose required, etc.  Dosing can really make the difference too.
purplepansy12002: Thankyou
AmyLansky: If you are doing it on your own -- sure, you might take Sepia 30c a couple of times and see what happens.  But it's not the best approach.  Don't keep taking it because then you might develop a proving" -- which means you start developing the symptoms of the remedy and will screw yourself up."
purplepansy12002: develop the symptoms of the remedy?
AmyLansky: Look at my web site for homeopathic referrals.
purplepansy12002: I'm seeing a naturopath
AmyLansky: Yes -- the word homeopathy means: similar suffering.  Treatment is based on the Law of Similars.
AmyLansky: This means that if a substance can cause symptoms XYZ then it can cure symptoms XYZ.
AmyLansky: The way homeopaths find out what a remedy does is take it!  That means, if you take the WRONG remedy over and over, you will develop the symptoms it can cause (and also cure).
AmyLansky: If your naturopath specializes in homeopathy, then that's the same thing.  I have a pointer on my book web site to the homeopathic-naturopaths list too.
purplepansy12002: great, thanks
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):    Bestbirths   solsticemom
hypnohobbit: ?
Bestbirths: We have done hair tests and have toxic heavy elements. Can you explain how homeopathy cures without detoxing the body of toxins? say cadmium and antimony for example.
AmyLansky: Good question.  Homeopathy stimulates the body to heal itself.  For kids who can't excrete the metals effectively, this means that homeopathy helps their body function improve so that they can begin doing so.  But it also means that the body will excrete naturally (and therefore more slowly) than chelating.
aisraeltax: ?
Bestbirths: How do they get immediate cures for the autistic kids with chelating slowly i wonder?
AmyLansky: In my view, if you are seeing slow and steady improvement with homeopathy, that is a better route than chelation.  But if you aren't getting improvement, then you might consider chelation.  However, it's important not to get obsessed with these test scores.  It's your child's behavior that is the important factor.  if your child is behaving normally, stop worrying.  I never had my son tested for metals.  He got better and that was enough for me.
AmyLansky: Because it's not all about the metals.  We all have metals in our bodies.  It's much deeper than that.  Don't get obsessed with the metals.
AmyLansky: And by the way, no one really gets an immediate cure" in autism."
Bestbirths: Thanks.  Does your site give referrals near Kansas City?
AmyLansky: Even in my son's case, which was pretty optimal, it was a process -- the first couple of years got the first 80% or so, and the rest over the next 4-5 years.
AmyLansky: Hm, not sure.  The midwest is difficult.  There are people in Tennessee I know...  You might need to travel or try remote treatment (suboptimal) -- if you can make at least one visit to a practitioner, that really makes a difference.  Send me an email.
aisraeltax: thanks. my question was above. i wanted to know what you would recommend to ppl who are just beginning to learn about homeopathy. i have several books on home remedies but they are confusing and cross references all over the place.
MOD_Angie: Friendly Reminder: Please do not post unless it is your turn to ask a question. If you have a question, please post a single ?" and you'll be added to the queue. Have your question ready when your name is called. THANKYOU! :)"
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s): solsticemom   hypnohobbit   aisraeltax
AmyLansky: Well, my book is a general introduction, not a how-to book.  But it might help you understand these other books better.

MOD_Angie: np
dolphin917: ?
AmyLansky: Let's take 4 more questions
solsticemom: I've been having bad anxiety attacks for many months now.  I used to be on antidepressants but stopped years ago. Tried to go back on them but had bad reactions to two different kind.  Is there a way to treat this with homeopathy?
AmyLansky: Definitely.  There is even a story in my book about anxiety attacks.  This is constitutional treatment.
mmmummy: ?
MOD_Angie: At this time, the queue is full. Questions already in line will be asked, but we cannot take anymore today. Sorry for the inconvenience.
AmyLansky: I'm happy to come back some other time too.
cutie_patootie: yes please do :D
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):  hypnohobbit   dolphin917  mmmummy
hypnohobbit: My brother landed himself in ICU for respiratory failure, lots of respiratory issues and many bacteria, he has been off of steroids for a few weeks and is currently on antibiotics for systemic staph infection.  Can a remedy work through all of this?
AmyLansky: Very serious stuff.  I will tell you a story in my own life.
Webmama_Tina: 4min left in this chat
dolphin917: Amy, I have a great homeopath here in Dallas and am a student of the Texas Institute for Homeopathy under Joy Wilson's training. I could certainly get you info that might help in the midwest.
AmyLansky: My mom was in the hospital in February for endocarditis -- infection of the heart.  Yes she had to take 6 weeks of IV antibiotics (she is 91).  But after she came home from the hospital she was treated homeopathically and made such a rapid recovery that her doc was astounded.
MOD_Angie: CORRECTION upcoming chatter(s):   aisraeltax   dolphin917 mmmummy
hypnohobbit: :D Thanks, that is so good to hear!
AmyLansky: Yes, there is room for homeopathy.  In dire circumstances and an expert homeopath, it can be enough.  But in a true life or death situation I would go to the hospital and treat homeopathically on the side.  Yes, it can work through the antibiotics -- you just have to dose more often.
hypnohobbit: Thank You!
AmyLansky: BTW -- Joy Wilson is a good friend and is successful with autism.
dolphin917: Yes, she is also a great teacher!!
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s): aisraeltax  mmmummy
AmyLansky: Last two!
have2boys: new here
aisraeltax: how do ppl who do not know anything about homeopathy learn about common remedies? so many books are so confusion with cross references. i said it better the first time.
AmyLansky: First, I would start with my book as a general intro.
AmyLansky: For a home treatment book I usually recommend Miranda Castro's Complete Homeopathy Handbook, but I have heard that some find it confusing.
AmyLansky: You might try Ed Shalt's new book -- it's on Amazon -- I can't remember the name -- look for Shalts.
aisraeltax: thank you very much. i have enjoyed this.
AmyLansky: I would also recommend joining the National Center for Homeopathy.  Their magazine, Homeopathy Today will teach you A LOT>
MOD_Angie: upcoming chatter(s):  mmmummy
have2boys: what is the topic tonight?
mmmummy: for kids with autism who have never been vaxed,is treatment any different, and if so how and why and is it as successful??
Webmama_Tina: have2boys we're just finishing up our mothering mag chat
Webmama_Tina: but you're free to stick around in any of the chat rooms to chat as long as you like... :)
AmyLansky: I have heard that such cases can be more difficult, but treatment is the same, at least under classical treatment.  Find the remedy that matches the child overall and go from there.
Webmama_Tina: we'll be closing this one up as soon as we're done here
Webmama_Tina: oh and the topic is homeopathy
AmyLansky: There is definitely help for these cases too though.  Don't despair!  Homeopathy treats the uniqueness about the person , not any particular theory"."
have2boys: thank you
mmmummy: *nods* case-by-case..can def. see that..: )
AmyLansky: Does that answer your question Mummy?
AmyLansky: And don't forget, there's a lot more going on around us than just vaccination.  Mercury everywhere, toxins, also allopathic meds, and just the innate susceptibility.  It could be so many things.
mmmummy: yup..right now im looking for anything that may help my son..there are so many dif. diets/therapies..
AmyLansky: The homeopath has to take the full case and find what's gong on.
mmmummy: i think i'm going to have to pick up a copy of your book as well!! thank you for responding to my question : (
mmmummy: er :) sorry
AmyLansky: If you send me an email, maybe I can get you a referral.
AmyLansky: lansky@impossiblecure.com
mmmummy: thatd be great,thanks!!
Webmama_Tina: was that our last question then?
AmyLansky: are we done?  I'm hungry! ;-> it's 7:30 here..
