Course I Homeopathic Approach to Autism I Intra-Uterine Questions offers an introduction to what autism means and how we should approach it homeopathically. Dr. Luc focuses on the emotions of the mother during the intrauterine period and the effects on the fetus. A full live-recorded case taking and case analysis with long-term follow up teaches you case analysis and case management specific to autism. Content details Autism I Total duration of video lectures: 6 hrs. 15 min., and if you also do all assignments and quiz questions: total lectures and assignments: 8 hrs.

Assignments and quiz questions Parts 9-18: Live-recorded case of a boy diagnosed with autism - consultation, analysis & follow-up (1 hr. 47 min.) Assignments and quiz questions. Part 20: Course summary, certificate, and final lecture. Course II Homeopathic Approach to Autism II Advanced Case Analysis offers a deeper understanding to case analysis, not only related to autism but also for other cases of challenged children and other cases in general. The case analysis steps can be applied to other chronic cases of challenged children as well, because in homeopathy the fundamental principles are the same and we always need to individualize. Dr. Luc discusses in more detail the conscious and unconscious, the never well since (emotional trauma), the creation of the core delusion (according to Jung) and the compensations (mask). The course Autism II includes two cases, a live-recorded case of a 15-year-old girl and a paper case discussed in great detail of a 5-year-old boy with a 5 year follow-up. Both cases illustrate Dr. Luc s advanced case analysis and the intra-uterine emotions of the mother affecting the child.

3 Introduction to Course Autism I & II The prevalence of autism In 2013 several previously distinct diagnoses were merged into one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The number of children diagnosed with ASD during the last decade increased enormously. At this point in time in the USA it is called an epidemic - because it concerns 1 in 68 children. What is autism Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. We now know that there is not one autism but many types, caused by different combinations of genetic and environmental influences. (Etc.) The course Dr. Luc De Schepper discusses in this course how a classical homeopath should approach a case with autism. In homeopathy we look at the whole case and we must treat the child who has autism, and not the disease autism itself. Special attention is given to the emotional events during pregnancy that can influence the occurrence of autism. Dr. Luc teaches how to question the mother in order to find the emotional intra-uterine trigger. Case-analysis more in general and specific to autism is discussed. An autistic child has difficulty developing his conscious and when there are difficulties the child easily retracts into his unconscious. Dr. Luc teaches in the case analysis how to get to the curative remedy. We need to find out which core delusion can explain why the child remained in his unconscious. Both courses Autism I and Autism II include live-recorded cases diagnosed with autism with the interviews, analyses and follow-ups. The course further includes the case transcript, handouts, assignments and quiz questions. Both course Autism I & Autism II are aimed at advanced students of homeopathy as well as medical and homeopathic professionals. Parents of a challenged child may also be interested in viewing both courses. They may not understand all homeopathic aspects discussed in this course, nevertheless it can help them to decide on homeopathic treatment and prepare the parents for a homeopathic consultation. It can also help parents to judge if their chosen homeopathic professional is treating according to classical homeopathic values. Dr. Luc's teachings are firmly based on the classical homeopathic teachings of Hahnemann. He offers many unique insights that will help you to use homeopathy effectively with this recent epidemic. Additionally to the theoretical lectures this course also offers example cases, which will demonstrate the theory in practice. The emphasis in course Autism I is on the intra-uterine period and in Autism II Dr. Luc expands on case analysis. After taking this course and seeing in-depth the use of the case-analysis steps that are taught and demonstrated with the cases, you will also be able to successfully apply what you have learned to all (chronic) cases in your practice, not only to cases with autism.

Course Location and Communication Course website with course details: Vimeo website: Autism I: Autism II: Facebook: course moderator Julia: julia@lucdeschepperlive.com A Note of Caution Some cases of autism can be cured fully; others can perhaps be improved or alleviated partially. Basically you approach a case of autism like any other (chronic) disease, additionally keeping in mind and using Dr. Luc's unique intra-uterine questions. Above all the children's continued safety is important, that includes for example not stopping their seizure medications (if they are on such medications) or similar. Only when definite and sufficient improvement is noticeable, and to stay with the example above, can medications be reduced or even stopped - but this must always be done with the consent of and under the supervision of the patient's (conventional) medical practitioner. 6

7 One very important aspect not to neglect is the timeline - your aim has to be to determine what may have triggered autism in the patient you are treating - ofttimes, possibly as often as in 95% of cases, the trigger is an intra-uterine event, but the trigger can for instance also be vaccination. These cases, as all cases of autism and any other chronic disease, should also be treated according to classical Hahnemannian homeopathic values. Keep in mind that a case of autism may need several years of treatment & follow-ups, even when using carefully applied 5 th & 6 th edition posology. There is no correlation between this course A Homeopathic Approach to Autism and the CEASE therapy. 7

8 Also check out Dr. Luc's e-learning course Advanced Posology Dr. Luc has also a course available Advanced Posology in Homeopathy. This is a magnificent course that will help you to greatly increase your results in practice. Worldwide, many cases do not succeed in practice because homeopaths are only familiar with Kent s dosing (30, 30, 200, 200, M, M, etc.), the wait and watch method, and know very little about the correct use. Study more with Dr. Luc s excellent books You can study more with Dr. Luc s excellent books, some of which he mentions in these lectures. Advanced Guide for Professional Homeopaths Hardcover: 256 pages Publisher: Full of Life Publishing (December 1, 2008) ISBN-10: / ISBN-13: The latest findings about potencies, miasms and observations of Hering are fine tuned for clinicians. Furthermore, eleven intrauterine questions and eleven questions for the homeopath to see if the clinician has the right remedy are explained in detail with clinical examples. In addition, the core delusion is defined and ways of finding it in the clinic. Jung's introductions of extrovert and introvert types, as well as the functions of consciousness, give the homeopath a solid introduction to use these characteristics to know the constitution and temperament of the patient. This is an invaluable guide for any professional in practice. Achieving and Maintaining the Simillimum Hardcover: 370 pages Publisher: USA (1995) Language: English (Also available in several other languages) ISBN-10: / ISBN-13: A companion book to Hahnemann Revisited; this unique book teaches the reader the most difficult aspect of homeopathy- how to stay on the right course in the challenging path to cure for a chronic patient. 8

Discovering Life: Homeopathic Portraits This book is available online from Luc's website This modern Materia Medica, the result of eight years of work, is very different from existing ones. Still based on the old provings, more clarity has been brought into these portraits though depth-psychology, philosophy, and clinical examples, while also addressing the problem of translating the language of the patient into the language of the materia medica and provings. Each portrait tells a vivid story, starting from the cyber delusion, causalities, and leading to its compensations. Additionally, from the unpublished "Gems and Pearls from Old Masters," valuable clinically proven tips are added to help the homeopath in his practice. Homeopathy and the Periodic Table Hardcover: 313 pages ISBN-10: Bridging the gap between homeopathy and the elements of the periodic table. Exploring and using only the provings from renowned and reliable sources such as Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases and Materia Medica Pura, from Hering's Guiding Symptoms, T.F. Allen's Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica, and Von Bonninghausen's Materia Medica, Dr. Luc created a fascinating book about the relationship between homeopathy and the periodic table. A chapter on dream interpretation in homeopathy, used to clarify the proven elements in the periodic table, introduces the serious student of homeopathy to yet another way of finding the simillimum. About the author Dr. Luc De Schepper is a licensed physician and acupuncturist in Europe (since 1971) and the US (since 1982).
