homeopathy has been a lifesaver for my asperger's sons
12 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
As a desparate last measure I tried homeopathy for my two sons with Asperger's. I no longer worried about how 'kooky' it would seem because I was desparate for help. I visited Dr. Riechenberg-Ullman with my sons on the recommendation of one of my student's parents (because of my boys' diagnoses I left the university setting and an adjunct position and became a special ed teacher).
I have found that this homeopathic treatment has totally changed their lives and destinies. My boys are now honors students in mainstream classes with a multitude of activities and social relationships. I urge anyone with a child with this diagnosis to give this book a look. It has been the turning point in my sons' and my life.

A Gem for Professionals and Non-professionals Alike!
17 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
I am a homeopath, and I have felt daunted by the increase in the number of debilitating mental and emotional illnesses that seem to be growing in our society. By anyone's standard, they are hard to treat. So, I was very glad to read this book, and I was very impressed for several reasons: the authors, who are all renowned and respected homeopaths within the profession, give a good overview of the current understanding and mainstream medical approach to these diseases; they give a good and reasonable idea of what can be expected with homeopathic treatment; they present several cases which are interesting and inspiring to both homeopaths and parents of children who may benefit from homeopathic treatment; they give an overview of other complementary treatments as well as other resources and support for families that are looking for help; and they reflect on possible causes for the increase in these syndromes, while focusing mainly on giving relief to those who suffer now. I found the book informative, well-documented and quite useful as a professional. But it strikes me as rare that the authors have been able to come up with a book that is also understandable and useful to non-professionals as well. They didn't use jargon or hype in presenting the information, nor were there any promises of over-night cures. At the same time, the reader will surely share their delight on reading about the young people who emerged from the prison of isolation and tormenting behaviors. I found myself feeling refreshed by the consistent tone of kindness and compassion for both patients and their families that permeates the entire book. The clear focus is maintained of presenting very important information in a practical, thorough and yet gracious manner. It is truly a gift to professional and lay people alike. I found myself feeling inspired by my fellow homeopaths. I also felt renewed and encouraged by these good doctors as they remind us all about the capacity of the human organism to become healthy again even from very serious and deep-seated pathologies.

Homeopathic guide for ASD
25 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Homeopathy is often mentioned in alternative treatments for ASD and autism, but usually it's only glancingly mentioned.
This book fills in more detail and understanding to what Homeopathy is and how it specifically relates to these special needs children. Most of the book is filled with sample cases (some actual cases and some that are amalgams of different cases used to illustrate specific tendencies). A couple of times, I found myself crying because I related to the experiences that the parents and children have. . .and other cases which, although not applicable to my family, were interesting to read.
I appreciated that it wasn't preachy. It takes into consideration the enormous exhaustion experienced by parents of high-needs children, and the ways that subtle (and not-so-subtle) family dynamics often shift when one or two family members find balance within themselves.
