A Holistic Approach
Mary Coyle DI Hom consults with families of children with ASD, ADD and SPD. Collaborating as a team with the family, we devise holistic strategies geared towards gently returning the child to a balanced state. Autism is a complex disorder which affects a child physically, cognitively and emotionally. Finding natural solutions to remove stressors that create blockages, and trigger disordered sleeping patterns, self-stimulatory and/or aggressive behaviors, and attentional deficits, are keys to a child’s future success.
The primary goal is to re-ignite the healing response buried within the ASD child, and bring them back on the path of wellness as quickly, and as safely, as possible.
Steps To Work With Mary
Working together, Mary collaborates with each parent to determine potential obstacles that maybe impede your child’s unique healing mechanism. The empowering phone consultations include discussing strategies on how to create and maintain the healthiest lifestyle possible. Toxins are obsequious throughout the environment, and so finding solutions to assist in removing those deterrents – with the goal to elevate your child to their greatest optimal health, is really what it’s all about. Recommendations for certain homeopathic remedies, nutritional counseling, and discussions on detoxification may also be included in each session.

What Is Homotoxicology?
Homotoxicology is a complicated name for a fundamentally simple, and pragmatic approach to health. Developed by the German physician, Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg in the 1940s, Homotoxicology is considered the “bridge” between homeopathy, and conventional allopathic therapeutics. Of course this wouldn’t make much sense if we didn’t understand the dynamics of homeopathy in the first place. In short, homeopathy was created by the German physician, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, during the 18th Century. It is based upon his discovery that minute amounts of a natural substance can alleviate the symptoms of an illness, but if given in larger doses, that same substance can create symptoms of the disease. This is accomplished through utilizing highly diluted and serially succussed (rigorously shaken) remedies to stimulate the body’s own defense mechanism to heal. For example, one might consider the high potency remedy, allium cepa, (onion) to address symptoms of a runny nose, and red eyes. “Let like cure like.” Therefore, Homotoxicology is essentially a version of homeopathy, just sifted through to our modern era. This system of health is basically designed to support the body in the removal of its own endogenous toxic body burden, such as yeast, bacteria, heavy metals, chemicals, etc., and restore it back to balance. This is primarily accomplished through the use of herbals, and complex homeopathic formulas geared to increase metabolic and circulatory functions which then support, and drain, specific organ systems. For example, herbal remedies, such as artichoke, may be used to drain and support the liver — and crataegeus for coronary circulation. Low-potency homeopathic tinctures, (which are usually not higher than a 12x potency), are unique remedies that function on both the bio-energetic and biochemical level. Theoretically, the energy derived from these bio-energetic remedies can then transfer from a vitalized substance to activate a less energetic one. For example, solidago is a homeopathic drainage remedy aimed to drain and revitalize the kidneys. The primary theory behind this system is to not only activate, but to embrace release responses. Therefore, a runny nose, a loose stool, and a mild fever are considered meaningful biological responses by the body. These are usually self-limiting, and are designed to re-establish homeostasis.
This is more fully understood through the six phases within Dr Reckeweg’s Table of Homotoxicology.
These three are the “reaction” phases, and signify the body’s capacity to react and eventually remove toxins.
- Excretion
- Inflammation
- Deposition
These three are the “reaction” phases, and signify the body’s capacity to react and eventually remove toxins.
The latter stages are within the “exhaustion” phases. This is when the body has only limited energetic resources to successfully remove endogenous toxins, and so damage from these toxins ensues.
- Impregnation
- Degeneration
- Neoplasm
The latter stages are within the “exhaustion” phases. This is when the body has only limited energetic resources to successfully remove endogenous toxins, and so damage from these toxins ensues.
In short, according to Dr Reckeweg’s chart, and his Theory of Homotoxicology, as the body progresses into a better state of wellness, a more insidious illness, such as asthma, might transition into a lesser state of disease, such as eczema.
Since a subset of children, particularly those on the autism spectrum, suffer from compromised eliminative and immune systems, an increasing number of these individuals have incorporated Homotoxicology into their current wellness protocols. Designed to stimulate certain bodily functions, the remedies are geared to assist those systems which are just too weak to adequately mobilize and remove toxins on their own.
