Problem children? - Spectrum of Homeopathy 01/2015
Children cause problems when they don't meet expectations – in terms of their genes, their development and their behaviour. The theme of the spring 2015 edition of SPECTRUM “Problem Children?” is an ambivalent one, hence the question mark. After all, the problem often lies with the excessive expectations of parents, teachers and a society with innovative information technologies that can overburden even the most developmentally normal children. ADHD and DMDD are diagnoses that may be associated with exaggerated expectations as much as with the sensory overload found in the modern world. With the choice of the cheeky girl for the cover picture of “Problem Children?” we were highlighting the amusing message of the photo: things aren't so bad after all! But that was before the latest fashionable diagnoses from the American Psychiatric Association (APA): “disruptive mood dysregulation disorder” (DMDD) as well as severe and recurrent verbal and/or behavioural fits of rage. With her case of a highly gifted and extremely angry Lanthanide girl, Resie Moonen raises the issue of whether such diagnoses can be justified. Further contributions from Paresh Varsani, Dinesh Chauhan, Wyka Feige and others show how parents these days frequently seek homeopathic help for their children due to fits of anger and aggression. Treatment is always individualized and the remedies come from all the natural kingdoms. Michal Yakir uses her plant table, for example, to find the most suitable remedy for a girl who is constantly irritable.
Alongside behavioural problems, school performance is also a major issue. The paediatrician Heiner Frei presents cases of “academic failure” due to a wide range of causes including learning disorders, poor concentration, lack of motivation, anxiety and hyperactivity.
Physical and mental development disorders have always been of concern to paediatricians. Bettina Baltacis reports in a professional and affectionate style on her work in the multidisciplinary team of the first Austrian Down's syndrome clinic. Sunil Anand describes the possible influence of multiple vaccinations on childhood development and the value of vaccine nosodes. Friedrich P. Graf describes the particular dangers of aluminium as a vaccine adjuvant. Andreas Richter examines the common and often highly fraught relationship between adoptive parents and their children. Without intervention and treatment, bonding disorders can often lead to traumatic family dramas.
The extract from this issue of SPECTRUM comes from Anna Koller-Wilmkings with her fascinating account of her paediatric practice, presenting the entire spectrum of the theme of this issue – from developmental and behavioural disorders through psychiatric problems to severe physical pathologies, from well-known to minor remedies, and from classical repertorisation to the sensation method.
All the authors of this issue of SPECTRUM demonstrate the beneficial effects of homeopathic help for children, not just for classical disorders but also for the pathological excesses of our modern world. |

Very exciting and informative reading
As an interested non-medical person (is there a female form of layperson??), I have read the articles very carefully and find them extremely informative. Fortunately, no one in our family has Corona yet, but we have been taking Influenzinum for several years and have been flu-free ever since. I would also see Bryonia as Genius epidemicus in our latitudes, as it shows the most similarities. read more ... 25 people find this helpful. Do you find this helpful?

I am thrilled!
I have now read several issues of "Spektrum der Homöopathie" and am enthusiastic about every issue. Reading them has given me an understanding of the topic in question that I didn't have before, and in a short space of time, because the basic and important information is well structured and presented in an interesting way. I also feel that there is a lot of passion behind this magazine, which has a very motivating effect on me. Thank you very much for having it! read more ... 13 people find this helpful.

After everything I am hearing at the moment, it was very good for me to read the reports of doctors from different countries who were able to help patients with homeopathy. I was very impressed by the article on CO2. All people worldwide who wear a mask are affected. This increases the CO2 content in the blood, which is harmful to us humans. It triggers symptoms that can easily be attributed to the virus.
To all those who have contributed to this issue: Thank you very much! read more ...
