He acted as though a switch inside him were turned on, and no one, least of all Teddy, knew how to turn it off. I changed the prescription to Veratrum and gave him one dose. When Teddy's mother brought him back for an office visit two months later, she was delighted with the changes, Within two days of taking the Veratrum, the hyperactive behavior had almost disappeared. His teacher even called the home to ask what had been done. Two years after taking the Veratrum, Teddy has continued to do well and has not needed further homeopathic treatment.
Many homeopathic medicines are available in natural food stores.
For a more permanent solution to a chronic condition, however, such as hyperactivity, it is important to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner. One dose of the proper remedy can usually last six months to a year or more, and the treatment will not have to be repeated unless the behavior deteriorates. I have found that about 70 percent of children professionally treated with homeopathy for hyperactivity improve significantly, and many, dramatically.
