The CDC recently reported that the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children continues to rise at staggering rates.  Anxiety disorders, ADHD, Autism and OCD may be viewed as points on a spectrum of disordered developmental that share common features and etiologies though they may manifest differently and yet conventional western medicine offers children few options other than potentially toxic pharmaceuticals to relieve symptoms.  The Hippocratic oath demands that we first do no harm. This has led practitioners to search for more holistic approaches to help children suffering from these disorders.  Homeopathy, originally developed by Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700s, and Chinese medicine, evolving over the past two thousand years, both share a fundamental belief in the existence of a vital force that can be potentiated to promote healing. 

Through case discussion, Alex Riccio PhD and Stephen Cowan MD will offer their novel perspectives on how Classical Homeopathy and Chinese medicine can be utilized to relieve suffering and promote healthy development in children.
