CEASE Autism Therapy
Treating Autism and other Autism Spectrum Disorders with Homeopathy
The therapy was developed by Dutch Homeopath DR. Tinus Smits, who until his untimely death in early April 2010 had treated successfully over 300 autistic children. DR. Smits’ colleague, Dutch Homeopath Ton Jansen has added valuable information to this therapy from his own extensive experience in treating autistic children.
DR. Smits interest was sparked by his experiences with detoxifying children who all had in common the fact that the parents claimed that their child had never been well since they were vaccinated or had to take anti-biotics ( in some cases several courses of anti-biotics) he found that many behavioural problems significantly improved and even disappeared when the child was detoxified Homoeopathically , many of these children came to his practice for completely different reasons, mood swings, aggression, restlessness, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and (ADHD) to name a few.
The CEASE Therapy consists of systematic detoxification by tracking down and eliminating causative factors of illness such as: Vaccination, Medication and Environmental toxins using homeopathic preparations of the substances that caused the autism.
Clinical experience has shown that it works in almost all cases, except when there is brain damage. Note that no conventional randomised, controlled trials (RCTs) have been carried out to support this statement (in the same way as such RCTs have not been carried out for most of the treatment you get on the NHS).
WHAT IS INVOLVED
1. Homeopathy and Isotherapy: The detoxification of the various causative substances using homoeopathically prepared remedies made from these substances that possibly triggered the autism. These are usually administered twice weekly over the course of eight weeks, in increasing homeopathic potency. Courses may have to be repeated, and different substances may have to be detoxified.
Often in conjunction with the detox: The treatment with Classical Homeopathy (using a single remedy that can provoke resonance in the child and thus restore equilibrium) and Inspiring Homeopathy (a modern form of classical homeopathy developed by DR. Smits to treat universal human problems such as lack of self-confidence, guilt, old traumas, lack of grounding etc.) to treat the disturbances that are not directly linked to toxic substances.
2. Supplementation
The use of orthomolecular medicine (i.e. naturally occurring substances, particularly nutrients); is not essential but highly recommended as it speeds up healing; it involves the use of relatively high doses of vitamin C (both water and fat soluble), the supplemental administration of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil with EPA and DHA) to help restore the integrity of the brain function, the administration of zinc and magnesium in conjunction with vitamin C to restore the copper/zinc ratio and to reactivate Metallothionein. Metallothionein is a protein that in its different forms is present in mouth, stomach, in large quantities in the intestines, and also in our brain; it is our first line of defence against heavy metals.
3. Dietary Advice
DR. Natasha Campbell-McBride has shown clearly with her GAPS therapy that a proper diet together with adequate supplementation can help autistic children a long way. The CEASE Therapy does, however, only include minimal dietary advice, as DR. Smits found that parents are already overwhelmed by the problems they are facing with an autistic child, and that excellent results can still be achieved. We advise the use of healthy, organic food without sugar and other additives
The use of the homeopathic remedy Saccharum officinale to restore the integrity of the intestines; it can help to reduce the insatiable appetite many autistic children have, restore lack of appetite and reduce sugar cravings.

Quotes from parents:
“In the 9 months of your treatment, our son changed from a non-verbal to a child that is able to attend a normal school, speaking in full sentences and making contact with everybody: Amazing! The Autism team says it’s a miracle. Your CEASE Therapy is great. Our life has already completely changed! – Mother of Stephan”
“After tree and half months of treatment she has become a different child. She has woken up, is able to express herself verbally and says what she feels instead of shrieking; she is more flexible, more open and more independent. It’s a world of difference – Mother of Dirkje”
The CEASE approach to treating autism “…stands out among many others for its clarity, simplicity, and, perhaps most importantly, its focus on cause. The fact that it costs a fraction of some other therapies is a bonus and makes it accessible to parents staggering under the cost of treating their autistic child”.
