Autism: The Journey Back, Recovering the Self Through Heilkunst

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.

Rudi Verspoor and Patty Smith trained as classical homeopaths. Through their clinical work and experience they discovered an untapped fountain of insights by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, that amounts to a radical new system of treatment that is extremely effective, particularly in chronic, complicated cases. Rudi and Patty work together in the Hahnemann Clinic for Heilkunst in Ottawa, Canada, where they also teach Dr. Hahnemann's complete medical system to students internationally through the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst.
