My daughter has had KLS for the last 4 years.  We were lucky that the school noticed her bizarre behaviour and referred her to a behaviour clinic who then referred her to a neurologist who had experience with KLS.  It has been a hard 4 years but I am hoping the episodes are over.

I’ve been training to be a homeopath for a few years and had tried to use homeopathy to help.  Often it would, but only to “push” the episode later rather then end it completely.  The two most useful remedies for my daughter were Conium Maculatum 30 ch and Cannibis Indica 200 ch.  The cannibis remedy is hard to get as the raw material is restricted.  For anyone who doesn’t understand homeopathy, the raw material is processed into a tincture and then is diluted over and over and shaken to extract the energy signature.  Thus even the cannibis remedy has no ability to make one high, and the conium one can’t poison you.

The breakthrough happened when I commented on my online study group and a homeopath in the US suggested using the sarcode (homeopathics made from healthy glandular tissue)  Hypothalmus.  Due to the Stanford studies we figured that regulating the hypothalmus might help.  These remedies are hard to get, I was able to purchase it from Aaronson’s Pharmacy in Vancouver.  We chose a 9ch which is regulatory to the hypothalmus.  This was 10 months ago and my daughter has been episode free. 

Originally her episodes were one week of every month, they they stretched out to three months between episodes but the episodes would then be 3 weeks long.  Her longest being 22 days on my couch.  It may well be that she just outgrew it, but I’m hoping not. 

If anyone wishes to try homeopathics, please visit a homeopath.  Unlike regular medicines the homeopath needs to do an assessment to decide which remedy is right and often there are cases where another remedy must be given first to allow the right remedy to work.  Otherwise, just trying it yourself may give good results or may do nothing.

I just wanted to share our good fortune with homeopathics.  I really think it is the best way for really complex disease.

Do you have an update on your use of homeopathic treatments?

As of today, my daughter has been episode free since we started the Hypothalamus treatment.  If she begins to get the feeling that an episode is coming on, she will take a dose at bedtime and the feeling will be gone by the next day.  She’d been having a hard time getting up for a few days and then when I was with her she became quite agitated.  Later when she went home I suggested she take Hypothalamus before bed as the agitation used to herald an episode. She woke the next morning early and refreshed with the fogginess gone. 

I’m pretty sold on homeopathy.  I really wish it was better understood in North America.
