ABOUT THE BOOK
Many treatments have been proposed for autism. Most seem to address the symptoms of the problem rather than the true underlying causes. There is a system of medicine called Heilkunst that addresses these causes and has an integrated approach to removing the autistic condition. Heilkunst looks at the individual circumstances of each child, since each case is unique, and includes homeopathy, as well as drainage, detoxification, diet, supplements, balancing of the autonomic nervous system, energy work and fungal treatment. Heilkunst means the art of making people whole - in body, mind, soul and spirit - and this book sets out the principles and foundations of this therapeutic system. It will change your life, and the life of your child. Heilkunst offers a consistent, comprehensive, integrated approach to transforming autistic children into active, healthy and fully-functioning contributors to society. The child blessed with autism has tremendous potential that is desperately seeking to be expressed. Heilkunst provides a key to unlocking that full potential.
"I really enjoyed this book. We just started with sequential homeopathy, and I felt this book gave a great introduction to what we were doing. The laymen's term explanations were easy to understand for the most part. I was very impressed that the case studies showed some of the negative parts of the process, but explained well why they were all part of the process and that "healing" was actually taking place. Being part of the Yahoo group devoted to this particular kind of healing has also been very helpful. The Authors of the book post almost every day. I feel like I have a personal relationship with them, and they are always ready to answer any question. These people REALLY want to see these kids healed, and see it as there lifes work to see this happen. "

"The majority of this book was case studies, which had they given details as to how they were treated, I would have found very interesting. But instead they simply made vague statements like they gave him remedies to remove dental trauma, constitutional drops, emotional remedies...That simply is not enough detail for me to evaluate their protocol. I want to know what remedies were given, how they were made (meaning by a computer or from a physical substance), at what potency, and the frequency. I don't want this vague "He was given a remedy for the shock of circumcision."
Beyond that, they do explain their method of homeopathy called the Heilkunst method, which takes a timeline of the person's life and works to clear each traumatic event including vaccines. I agree with the timeline approach, although I can't tell from this book to what extreme they take it. They also include bits and pieces that explain aspects of homeopathy.
The authors spend a lot of time talking about the dual nature of humanity, the split between inner wisdom and intellectual knowledge. They believe that autism is a result or magnification of this split. That may be the case, but I was looking for practical cures, not esoteric views.
The discussion on miasms I found somewhat interesting.
I've read a lot about autism and homeopathy, and homeopathic vaccine clearing. This book lacks the details to incorporate their methods into your own practice and it is definitely not a self-help manual. It is really probably aimed at their existing or potential clients as sort of a very long brochure to help them understand the basics of their philosophies.
Unfortunately there isn't one really great book on homeopathic vaccine clearing. But I do like The Natural Medicine Guide to Autism (The Healthy Mind Guides) (The Healthy Mind Guides) it contains a chapter on homeopathic vaccine clearing. I also like "An Educated Decision" by Christina Head, a homeopath in the U.K. It is still in print, but for some reason you can't get it on the U.S. version of Amazon. In it she describes how to treat vaccine preventable diseases with homeopathy. She also intersperses several cases of homeopathic vaccine clearing through out the book.

"This book is my glimmer of HOPE for my 16 year old non-verbal son who has "Autism." I have tried many treatments through the years...this one just plain MAKES SENSE. It is the treatment I knew must be out there somewhere, and I will be getting my son "on board" ASAP! May God bless you for caring about our special kids. Thank you Patti and Rudi!"
