Homeopathy and autism: reviewing the old FAQ

The old FAQ presented remedy selection and improvement forecasts as treatment advice.

What this page originally claimed

The FAQ attributed changes in communication, behaviour and physical symptoms to individual remedies. It also suggested that some children would lose their diagnosis. Those forecasts were not supported by a comparison group or a method that could separate the remedy from other influences. A prescriber's confidence and a family's gratitude do not supply that missing evidence.

How the claim should be read

These public pages now provide editorial context instead of an autism remedy protocol. A personal account may be meaningful to the family while still leaving causation unresolved. Selecting a remedy from someone else's symptoms, copying a dose, or interpreting worsening as a good response is not a safe way to assess a child's needs.

Current support and vaccine information

Use Healthdirect's autism information for assessment and support options. The Australian Government vaccine safety guidance does not support a causal link between vaccination and autism. Discuss developmental concerns with the child's usual healthcare team; do not change prescribed medicines using an archive story.
