The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Thuja and stimming
My 10 year old son in high functioning asd with some complusive interests and stims physically and verbally. I started seeing a homeopath for the first time about 5 weeks ago. He feels that my son is suffering from vaccine damage and Thuja is the constitutional remedy. We started with Nat. Mur 30c and then Thuja 30c and then 1m about 4 weeks ago. This improved my son's energy and concentration, but also increased his complusive interests and stimming. My homeopath now feels that we should stay with Thuja and increase the dosage to 100m. Im concerned about the increased stimming, can anyone give me some information on what to expect?bbmom on 2012-06-04

100M? That is an extremely high potency. What was his reasoning for such a jump?
Thuja is only really the 'vaccine' remedy for smallpox vaccination. We have plenty of other remedies that are suited to the other kinds of vaccines. Ultimately any one of our 5000+ medicines can cure vaccinosis, if the symptoms agree. The symptoms are always the primary lead to the remedy, not the (assumed) causation. What symptoms does Thuja actually fit in your child?
Symptoms usually increase as part of an aggravation. Aggravation should be followed by improvement, or there is some issue the remedy is not addressing. 1M is actually quite a high potency, and you would expect to see the symptoms that worsen, improve within a few weeks. Going up mechanically in potency is not the standard step to take.

Thank you for you replies. I am new to homeopathy and live in a small town with limited access to practitioners. Although I think the person I am seeing now means well, I feel the need to get another opinion on my son's case.
My son started making repetitive movements around 9 months of age and they progressed over the years and now include upper body/arms, facial expressions and vocal sounds. He also has concentration issues and had a hard time paying attention in class. He is very sensitive to sensory inputs and is very fearful of being hurt and will not do any sports.
I had an assessment with a homeopath who did a full history and felt that the problems stem from the vaccines he had as an infant. We started Thuja and saw improvements in his concentration at school and how he felt about himself. He was much brighter and happier. However, at the same time, his stimming and complusive interests increased. The homeopath said to stop the Thuja and everything would get better, but it would take some time. We also tried a dose of Hyos to see if that helped the stimming. It did not help.
Over the past few weeks, his improvements have leveled off and the stimming hasn't improved. My homeopath recommended increasing the dosage of Thuja to get 'deeper healing'. I am very reluctant to give my son anymore Thuja and feel there must be another remedy to help the stimming. The stimming really affects him socially and he is going to camp for the first time in July and I really hope we kind find a remedy to make it better for him.
