Say what? A homeopathic remedy made from ultrasound? Yes, it exists, and its devel­opment and use open up a giant can of worms, especially in regard to children affected with the conditions labeled as attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. Not only can homeopathic ultrasound be help­ful to many of these children, but the fact that the remedy works can also help us understand just how damaging the routine use of prenatal ultrasound really is. This remedy has become a go-to in my practice, which is focused on helping children with ADHD, autism and many other developmental and behavioral challenges.

“CAN’T SIT STILL”

It all began on a bright spring morning in early 2015, when I saw a cute seven-year-old girl with suspected ADHD and her family in my office.

“Caitlin is always moving,” her dad shared. “She can’t sit still at dinnertime; she has never been able to sit through a meal. She will fall off the chair from moving so much. We get upset because she just can’t sit still at all. When she gets fidgety, she also can’t stop talking. It’s non-stop. We can see it coming—it’s like a wave of restlessness. She has a big personality and is very emotional and dramatic. If she eats any food dyes, everything gets ten times worse, and she becomes so fidgety that she almost loses control of her body.”

Caitlin explained the situation from her perspective. “Sitting still is so hard. I feel like I just have to move; I can’t stay still. I have to move, or I feel very frustrated. Waiting for something is very hard as well, like waiting for an appointment somewhere. And I’m always twirling and moving and tripping over things, kicking the table.” Her mother added, “If she comes into our bed at night, she will kick us; we’ll get a knee in the gut or back, or get smacked in the face with an arm.”

Caitlin had showed severe restlessness and excessive irritability and reactivity from birth. Her parents reported, “She was born with a scowl and was a very unhappy baby. It was hard to make her smile. It took us two years to really make her laugh. She also could not settle to sleep; she was up crying throughout the night.” They confessed, “The first few years were horrible!” Caitlin also used to freak out when her mom went out. She had severe temper tantrums from eight months old and would bang her head against the wall in frustration, even before she could walk.

Because Caitlin had experienced problems from birth, I carefully asked for more details about the pregnancy and delivery. Her mother reported having had several ultrasounds—“a couple of standard ones and then a 3D ultrasound.” She added that Caitlin “was trying to get away” during the 3D ultrasound, making it difficult to ascertain the sex, so at seven months they did another 3D ultrasound at a private clinic. According to Caitlin’s mom, “We had two sessions in one day, because again she got away and they could not tell the sex, so we went back later in the day.”

Uh-oh—two sessions of 3D ultrasound in one day? The baby tried her best to “get away” but could not escape. Maybe this was where the problems started?

At the time, I had only recently discovered that there was a homeo­pathic remedy made from ultrasound. The remedy is prepared by treating some water with an obstetric ultrasound transducer at the 3,500 mhz used for routine prenatal ultrasounds; it is then prepared into a remedy by a homeopathic pharmacy.

Homeopaths call remedies like these “imponderables”¹ as a way of describing remedies made from unseen, powerful forces or energies that can profoundly affect living systems.² Think about x-rays, magnets or radioactivity—all of which are invisible and not immediately felt but which can have significant effects on our health, and not generally for the better. Our modern world is brimming with technical devices emitting such energy, which in addition to ultrasound include cell phones, comput­ers, microwaves, televisions, and MRIs. Thankfully, we now also have homeopathic remedies prepared from these and other energies, which can be invaluable in today’s homeopathic practice.

“For my ally is the Force,

and a powerful ally it is.

Life creates it, makes it grow.

Its energy surrounds us and binds us.

Luminous beings we are,

not this crude matter.”

Jedi Master Yoda, Star Wars

HOMEOPATHIC PROVING INFORMATION ON ULTRASOUND

A homeopathic proving is a process in which healthy volunteers take or prepare a ho­meopathic remedy and carefully monitor and record their experiences, including physical, mental and emotional symptoms. They may experience both negative effects and healing symptoms from the substance being tried. Both sides of the equation are expressed.

When I mentioned Caitlin’s case to my colleague Dr. Roland Guenther, he told me about a proving, both fascinating and disturb­ing, that he had conducted to find out what an unborn baby might experience from prenatal ultrasound.³ In the early stages of the process, the provers experienced a lot of irritation as well as feelings of helplessness, fear and being invaded and exposed. As described in Guen­ther’s online account of the proving,³ these were typical reactions:

• “I feel restless and in a hurry.”
• “I am overstimulated like after too much coffee, I need to rock back and forth on my chair. I am impatient.” (This sounds very much like Caitlin’s state.)
• “I had little patience with my family.”
• “I am irritated by the presence of others.”
• “I feel invaded, disrespected, raw and exposed.”
• “This energy creates fear.”
• “I hear children screaming in silence.”
• “I have a sense of great vulnerability and I feel helpless.”
• “I feel helpless and hopeless.”
• “A dark force is penetrating me, it reminds me of Star Wars.”

Caitlin, too, reported anxiety. She said, “I worry a lot. I feel as if I’m missing something. I need to know where everything is. I get up and recheck to make sure my things are in the right place. I worry that something I love and might never get again will get lost. Then I feel very sad, and I’ll be freaking out, looking for it everywhere. I get really anxious and will look for it like crazy. It’s a horrible, sad feeling.”

According to Guenther, “Participants ex­pressed that the destruction of the inner space of darkness, stillness and safety felt as if it could not be healed again. The sense was not as if this inner space was only threatened or somehow affected negatively, the experience was that this space had been destroyed irreversibly. Some­thing seemed to have entered [their] being and altered [them]. ‘I will never be the same again. I will never be myself.’”³

“Once you start on the dark path,

forever will it dominate your destiny,

consume you it will.”

Jedi Master Yoda

This was Caitlin’s exact feeling: “I worry that something I love and might never get again will get lost.” However, two weeks after Caitlin received homeopathic Ultrasound 200C, her parents excitedly reported: “The restlessness is much better! She has way more control over herself now. She can actually sit at the dinner table now. She has never been able to sit through a meal in her life! She is also worrying less and gets less upset if she can’t find something. She is still a bit fidgety, but since the ultrasound remedy she is about 80 percent better.”

I thought it was very interesting that the worry had also improved; the remedy was heal­ing the feeling of irretrievable loss. Caitlin had a few more doses of the Ultrasound remedy, and after that, there were no more complaints.

AUTISM, BOYS AND GIRLS AND THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER

Over the past fourteen years, I have seen about eleven hundred children on the autism spectrum in my practice, but only about thirty of them (less than 3 percent) have been girls. Then I noticed that about 80 percent of the girls had received between eight and ten prenatal ultrasounds.

Boom. There had to be a connection be tween prenatal ultrasounds and autism—not only for the girls, but also for the boys, of course.

In the 1970s, autism rates were around one in ten thousand. The autism epidemic started to kick into high gear around 1991. At present, the official numbers cited are one in thirty-six or possibly even higher, especially in boys. As for the boy-to-girl ratio, officially it is five to one,⁴ but the ratio I see in my practice is much worse.

What happened around 1991? There were three major changes. First, the vaccine sched­ule doubled and then tripled after the federal government granted vaccine makers liability protection through the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. Second, glyphosate started to be used on a much more widespread scale. And third, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed the output of ultrasound devices to be increased by eight-fold.^5,6 A number of research studies have linked prenatal ultra­sounds with autism and other developmental conditions.^5,7

It is known that girls are less susceptible to autism and that their symptoms tend to be milder, maybe due to the protective effects on the developing brain of baby girls’ high levels of estrogen. I had pondered the question of whether extra ultrasounds might cause a disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB); perhaps in girls whose mothers received many ultrasounds, that additional exposure could increase the girls’ autism risk to the level found in boys?

Indeed, while doing research for this ar­ticle, I discovered that it has been known for over twenty years that ultrasound can open the BBB.⁸ Although creepy to me, medical research­ers posit that this may have some therapeutic value; it is generally difficult to get drugs into the brain, but disrupting the BBB can help. In fact, researchers are fitting people’s heads with ultrasound-emitting helmets to treat depression, brain tumors and Alzheimer’s, cleverly smug­gling drugs past the BBB in just this way.⁹

This technology can also be used to open the tight junctions in the gut, allowing medica­tions to reach the gut lining to treat conditions like Crohn’s disease or to force larger molecules directly into the bloodstream through the back door (pardon the pun). The start-up company Suono Bio, for example, is researching and patenting the use of ultrasound technology to supercharge medicated enemas.^8,10 This conjures up a disturbing image, especially considering that almost all children on the autism spectrum suffer from gastrointestinal problems.

Is it possible that prenatal ultrasounds somehow open these barrier membranes, allow­ing whatever toxins are in the system to pass through? And for how long? What if mom gets a flu shot or DTaP vaccine around the same time as a prenatal ultrasound? Or eats a tuna sand­wich? Even without those effects, research has already established that ultrasound heats tissue, creates audible sound and even causes genetic damage.⁵ In fact, targeted ultrasound is now being studied for its potential to destroy tumors with heat and aid in genetic engineering.^11-13

On that note, I just had a follow-up for a five-month-old baby who developed both eczema and constipation within two weeks of birth. He did not receive any vaccines but did get the vitamin K shot and was exposed to more than ten prenatal ultrasounds. He is now able to have a bowel movement if he gets homeopathic vitamin K and homeopathic Ultrasound on the same day, but not on separate days. Oh, and the homeopathic vitamin K cleared up his eczema pronto! Food for thought.

THE “TASMANIAN DEVIL”

In December 2022, I saw Sawyer, a nine-year-old boy with an ADHD diagnosis, very poor focus, lack of impulse control and trouble controlling his body. He had also been diag­nosed with a speech and articulation disorder and a sensory processing disorder.

His mother shared, “We call him the ‘Tas­manian Devil’ because he never stops moving, running, jumping and climbing. And he is always in a hurry. He also has trouble control­ling his body and often runs into people and accidentally hurts them. He puts his clothes on backwards, his shoes are on the wrong feet, he hates taking the time to brush his teeth, he can’t wait to get to the next thing. He is also argumentative and must have the last word or tries to make up the rules or gets very silly and makes silly noises.”

Sawyer also had issues with fine-motor skills, and of course, he was in too much of a hurry to write neatly. His mother showed me some of his writing samples, which looked like chicken scratch. I was able to observe him on camera during the appointment, and he was constantly on the go, including jumping and swinging in a large playroom and running laps between rooms. His mother added, “Sawyer was very fussy and demanding as a baby and was always vocalizing, although his speech was delayed. He just made a lot of noise, constantly. The toddler years were tough, too; he was into everything, everywhere, always running off, getting into people’s cars.”

I felt a bit flummoxed by the fact that apparently, he had only had two prenatal ul­trasounds—until mom confessed in an email afterwards: “I was working as a physiotherapist for dogs when I was pregnant with Sawyer, as was one of my colleagues at the time. We often would ultrasound ourselves quickly at work on the veterinary ultrasound to see our babies. I forgot until today!” Aha!

Sawyer received homeopathic Ultrasound, of course. In a two-month follow-up report, his mother stated: “With Ultrasound, he immedi­ately seemed more content, less on the go and not needing to be told multiple times to get his shoes on. In the morning, he can now get dressed and brush his teeth by himself; this never used to happen. I watched him write the other day, and his writing was much better and more leg­ible; he took his time more. And he has only put his clothes on backwards once since taking the remedy!” Sawyer has continued to do very well on Ultrasound and some other remedies since then.

CREATIVITY UNLEASHED

Malia was two years and ten months old when her mother first consulted with me in January 2022. She had been diagnosed with autism and pervasive developmental delay. She had only just started to point and was very delayed with her speech, using only one word to express her needs occasionally. Her eye contact was poor, she had sensory issues around noise, became easily overstimulated and frustrated and hated having her hair brushed. She did not interact with other children at daycare at all.

She was also very hyperactive and restless and hated being constrained in a stroller. Her mother commented, “She is moving all the time. She only spends one or two minutes on an activ­ity and then quickly moves on. It’s very hard for her to learn if she will not sit still and listen or look at our mouths when we talk to see how we are forming words. She has trouble following two-step instructions.” In addition, she had a history of constipation and was not yet potty trained or even aware of stool in her diaper. She was a very picky eater and had difficulties chewing and swallowing.

During the consultation, mom followed Ma­lia with her phone, and I was able to observe just how restless this child was, aimlessly wandering from room to room, touching this, picking up that for a moment, then moving to another place again. This went on throughout the entire hour of our visit.

Malia’s mother reported that her pregnancy with Malia had been healthy. Mom had received a DTaP shot and “a few” ultrasounds—she could not remember how many. The baby received vitamin K and hepatitis B (HepB) shots at birth and continued with the regular vaccine schedule thereafter. As her mother recounted, “Within two hours of being born the problems started. She could not stop crying, could not be soothed, could not sleep and was nursing all the time. At six months, constipation started and after her shots at twelve months [MMR and Pedvax Hib], her mouth hung open with her tongue out, and she was drooling. Her development stopped between twelve to eighteen months.”

To me, the restless wandering really stood out. Thus, Malia received Ultrasound as her first remedy, although she also had obviously been affected by her vaccines. Two weeks later, her mom happily reported: “She is repeating words more and saying new words. She has been calling us ‘mama’ and ‘daddy.’ She looks more awake. She has been going to the potty and saying ‘potty’ and is now aware of poop in her diaper. And she is wandering around much less.”

A month later, Malia had taken Ultrasound in both 200C and 1M potencies. The 1M remedy initially caused loose stools with a “terrible smell” (a detox reaction of note), but then her mother reported that Malia was “much calmer.”

She observed, “Today Malia played with play­dough for thirty minutes; this would have been unthinkable earlier. Her eye contact is much bet­ter, and she is much more connected to us. She will request things and answer questions now.”

I have seen this increased level of awareness and connection in other children after taking Ultrasound, sometimes within minutes. One autistic nine-year-old boy under my care, who had been exposed to at least ten prenatal ultra­sounds, went over to his five-month-old baby brother and hugged and kissed him tenderly within half an hour of his first dose of Ultra­sound 200C. Previously, he had ignored his brother or even tried to hurt him. Disconnection is a key feature in children with autism. They are generally not that interested in interacting with others.

As Malia continued with Ultrasound, I next added a remedy made from the HepB vaccine she had received at birth. After this, Malia suddenly started painting! Her mother sent me photos of Malia’s artwork and it was astounding, demonstrating a wonderful sense of shape and color in a such young child, then barely three years old. From then on, her mother noted that when Malia stopped painting, she needed a higher dose of Ultrasound again. It was amaz­ing! It was also interesting that the combination of the ultrasound and HepB vaccine remedies is what helped, as of course the HepB vaccine is usually the first vaccine given after birth.

It has been a little over two years since I first started working with Malia, and I’m happy to report that she is now by all accounts a healthy, happy, creative and absolutely brilliant neuro­typical child. She just turned five, is social and talkative, and is already excelling in math.

Her mother recently messaged me: “She is so smart. She took one look at a page with isolated shapes of different countries and knew every single one! I have no idea how, we don’t go over that at home or in school. She does have a globe she loves, though, and is very interested in geography.” Mom sent me a photo of the page with the shapes, and I only recognized half of the countries! Although Malia had a lot of dif­ferent remedies to help her recover step by step, the Ultrasound remedy was one of the most important ones for her.

“AT HOME WITH MYSELF AGAIN”

What is it with the epidemic of what is called ADHD? Perhaps many cases of ADHD are at least partially ultrasound injuries. And, of course, almost all children on the autism spectrum are also hyperactive, often severely so.

Based on the proving information, research studies and my own clinical experience and that of others, it seems likely that prenatal ultrasounds have the potential to destroy the sacred space of darkness and safety in a mother’s womb, overstimulating the senses and potentially creating a need to shut down and disconnect. In sensitive babies, or with frequent and extended ultrasound exposure, this may trigger or contribute to symptoms of ADHD and autism. Girls are more protected against developing autism, but extra ultrasounds may negate that protection.

As a participant in Guenther’s proving stat­ed, “In my core there is usually a quiet place of peace and safety. This peaceful core of stillness is destroyed here.”³ Guenther describes what the unborn might be thinking when subjected to ultrasound:

“Boy or girl? What does it matter? Quit looking! You see but a shadow. I will reveal myself to you in time. Let me be! Your pok­ing and prodding and untimely seeing can only disappoint. Am I what you want?”³

Guenther’s exploration of what the unborn go through with ultrasound also suggested that “As the painful influence could not be avoided, the only option was to shut down.”³ Four of the proving participants expressed a desire to be alone, stating “I only want to be alone and to meditate” or “I want to disconnect, to curl up into a ball, tighter and tighter, in order to keep the light and the noise out.” Again, the experi­ence points to what the unborn might say:

“This is how a soul is taken, the heart of a living being sacrificed on the altar of technology. But now we reclaim our soul, we rage, we scream. You will hear us until you return what belonged to us. We are ask­ing for the return of our sacred, innermost place. Give us sanctuary, give us quiet!”³

Following the proving, the participants shared comments about feeling “grounded” and “calm” again and feeling “strong and safe.”³ One person commented, “I am home with myself again. Now I can reconnect with others, this was not possible before.” Another stated, “I go to the deepest and darkest part of the ocean. This is the womb of creation. My heart is opening and expanding. I touched the core of life.” And also, “I hear angels whisper and giggle. Their message is love.”

“The Force will be with you. Always.”

Homeopathic Ultrasound may become an indispensable remedy to help heal children with ADHD and autism and, hopefully, contribute to protecting them from the harms caused by such unnecessary exposures, returning creation of human life to the sacred wisdom of nature.
