​This young 10 year girl was first diagnosed with ADHD and received medicine in 2008. At first they gave her Ritalin, then Motiron, then Concerta, but none of the drugs worked very well. After the Concerta she became very quiet and introverted and now for a year she has been on 25 mg Strattera.
She came off the Concerta in the autumn of 2011. Before she came off it she had no facial expression, no happiness or sorrow. When she came off it she slept 13/14 hours a day and she would not go to school. She only receives the medicine in order to be able to concentrate. When she started on the medicine she lost weight and lost her appetite. She was on a protein drink for a year. On Concerta and the other 2 types of medicine she had diarrhea and headache. She does not get that on Strattera.

The case report presented here is a male child of 6 years’ age, diagnosed clinically as delayed development, especially delayed speech. The child was treated with classical homeopathic therapy by detailed case taking and individualizing the case.
 
The prevalence of developmental delay is yet to be established, but considering the global population, 10% of the children (toddlers and pre-schoolers) are found to have some or the other kind of delay. Under specific domains, the Global developmental delay rate is 1-3% in children falling under school age, cognitive delay rate is 1-1.5%, learning disability rate is 8%, speech and language delay rate is 2-19% and any delay to be 15%.5
 
The treatment strategies adopted are primary care provided by developmental and behavioral pediatricians, occupational therapists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, physical therapists, nutritionists etc. and establishing a therapeutic relationship with the patients.

Yes, as I was in London on my holidays I brought my now adult children to see a hospital that specialises in giving clinical services to people who want complementary medicines for their health choice. Conditions like cancer care, allergies to muscular skeletal issues, rheumatology to stress management and sleep management are treated there.. They offer access to conventional medicines too.

I was on holidays recently and visited London. It was a real ambition of mine to visit the homeopathic pharmacy Ainsworths. There it was on New Cavendish Street, not far from Oxford Street which is the main shopping area for central London.   John Ainsworth founded this homeopathic pharmacy in 1974.  Ainsworths  specialises in the making and provision of traditional homoeopathic remedies and the individual preparation of Bach Flower Remedies.  

​In my practice I use Dr. Heiner Frei’s Polarity Analysis when choosing a Simillimum. Polarity analysis (PA) is a method that leads to an efficient and reproducible choice of remedy and increases the precision of prescriptions. It is a development of Boenninghausen’s concept of contraindications.
