1 Homeopathy An introduction to application in pediatrics By Denisa Hrncirik-Maruyama, ND and Paul Theriault, ND The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in pediatric primary care is common, with homeopathy being one of the most widely used CAM modalities in the world. In a recent survey done in the UK, the rate of homeopathic use in children amongst GPs is 22%, with most prescribing taking place for infants less than one year old with minor self-limiting conditions at a relatively low rate of approximately one per month. A smaller number of GPs report prescribing much more frequently (Ekins-Daukes 2005). In Germany, homeopathy is the most frequently used CAM treatment for childhood ailments, where nearly 50% of the homeopathic medicines are prescribed by medical doctors and Heilpraktiker, and used to treat a wide range of conditions with a greater rate of use for self limiting conditions (Du 2009). The publications on the use of CAM in pediatric primary care and oncology indicate that homeopathy plays a complimentary but largely unofficial role in pediatric oncology in Israel (Ben Arush 2006), Canada (Fernandez 1998), Italy (Steinsbekk 2006), and Netherlands (Grootenhuis 1998). In the US, it is estimated that over children are administered homeopathic medicines on a yearly basis (Barnes 2008). In India, homeopathy is widely used in pediatric care, as it is incorporated as a system of primary care within the established medical system (Ghosh 2010). Homeopathic remedies are potentized substances at a dilution level often greatly surpassing the Avogadro number. This naturaly gives rise to questions about the mechanism of action of homeopathic remedies. Despite much experimentation, the exact mechanism through which homeopathic remedies effect change remains elusive. Recent work has focused on the memory of water hypothesis in which properties of water are held to be influenced by the history of substances water has been in contact with (Chaplin 2007). Other work on the subject has focused on quantum interactions and entanglement of the remedies with the substances from which they are made, as well as quantum entanglement between the patient and practitioner (Molski 2010, Neuhouser 2001). Although no firm consensus has yet emerged, research into the question is gaining solid ground (Enserink 2010). Most homeopathic remedies are made from natural ingredients (plants, minerals, or animals), yet numerous recent remedies have been created from a wider range of substances, such as colored light (Griffith 2008) and physiological tissues from the birth process (Assilem 2009). In addition, more recent work by Jan Scholten and the members of the Mumbai school in India have introduced classification of remedies into thematically oriented groups, and have offered deeper exploration into the unconscious levels of remedy pictures (Sankaran 2008). Their work has re-energized the field of homeopathy, widening the number of remedies that can be matched to childhood ailments. Homeopathic remedies are symptom specific. Prescribing in pediatric patients requires keen observational skills as well as a strong knowledge of materia medica. The choice of remedy must take into consideration general temperament of the child, the emotional responses to challenges that they are facing, as well as the unique details of the physical symptoms they are exhibiting or experiencing. This requires careful observation on the part of the parent and the physician since children are often unable to report the subtleties of their symptoms. In addition, observation of the parents and the social environment of the child may offer great clues to remedy selection (Master 2006).

2 Homeopathic remedies can be prescribed to children on an acute or constitutional basis. Constitutional prescribing is mostly indicated in chronic or recurrent conditions and is based on the child s overall physical, emotional, and mental symptom picture. A constitutional remedy strengthens and stimulates the child s vitality, improves physical and mental development and helps maintain their overall health over time. For acute presentations, symptom-specific prescribing based on the totality of the presentation at the time of intake is most commonly employed. A matching acute remedy will promptly releave the child s symptoms and significantly increase rate of recovery. Dosing strategies in children are similar to adult protocols. Although most books on pediatric dosing recommend low dose prescribing, for healthy children with strong vitality, dosing higher potencies of 200c, 1M, and 10M often show great results, as long as the remedy is a close similimum. It is generally prudent, however, to begin with lower potencies (such as 6c, 30c) and gradually move up to 200c, 1M and 10M if vitality of the child is vague, or if the remedy match is not entirely revealed. For children with chronic illneses and disabilities, higher potency remedies may provoke aggravations or worsening of the presenting symptoms. In such sensitive cases, liquid dosing and LM dosing are recommended. The following protocol is designed to minimize aggravations in sensitive children, yet speed up progress of their condition considerably: Begin with 6c potency of the selected remedy diluted and succussed in alcohol and water. Administer 1-10 drops to the child and observe for a week. If no response, redose. If positive response results, redose only when you see child ceasing to improve. If progress comes to a plateau, dose more often until daily dosing. The typical progression of potencies in this protocol is 6c, 30c, LM-1, LM-2, and upwards (De Schepper 2004). Most Commonly Prescribed Pediatric Homepathic Remedies: (Master 2006, Vermuelen 2000, Zand 2003) Remedy Name Common Use Physical Mental Generalities Aconite First line remedy in acute condition, shock/fright Dryness, redness, heat, rapid pulse Shock/fright, extreme anxiety, panic, restlessness, fear of death Thirstless, or intense desire for cold drinks Allium Cepa Common cold Profuse clear discharge from eyes and nose, frequent sneezing, dry red raw throat in laryngitis Pain intolerance Strong hunger and thirst.
