Abstract

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by apathy, alterations in social communi cation, as well as repetitive behavior. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autism is related to insufficiency of the Heart, Liver, Lungs, Kidneys and Spleen.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show that autistic patients have an energy deficiency in their five in ternal, massive organs (Liver, Lungs, Heart, Spleen and Kidneys) and the treatment to rebalance and replenish these organs is of major importance in the improvement of ASD patients.

Methods: Two case reports of patients with the clinical diagnosis of ASD. Both of them including their parents were submitted to the measurement of their internal energy applying the radiesthesia procedure using a crystal pendulum.

Results: All of them, including their parents, were at the lowest level of energy in the Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lungs and Kidneys, rating one out of eight. The treatment consisted in changes in their dietary aspects to improve the energy of these organs using Chinese dietary counseling, doing auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting. Also, homeopathic medications were used to replenish the energy of these organs according to the theory of Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Fur thermore crystal-based medications and highly diluted Chinese herbs were used. All those involved improved greatly with these treatments, and they began to communicate more and socialize normally, reducing their rate of anxiety and other emotional symptoms. So, the need for psychotropic medications was reduced, creating a favorable situation as these medications could very well aggravate the internal energy condition even more, leading to the worsening of the cause of the ASD symptoms.

Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the patients with ASD and their parents had energy deficiency in the five internal massive organs (Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lungs and Kidneys) at the lowest level of energy, which corresponds to the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) of the five elements theory of TCM. The use of Chinese dietary counseling, auricular and systemic acupuncture and replenishing the energy of these organs using the theory titled Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine was very important in treating the cause of the formation of ASD symptoms and not just treating the symptoms using psychotropic medications recommended nowadays in some literature. The treat ment focusing on the "root" of the problem proved to be excellent working within the entire mind and body of these patients, and it has become the recommended treatment nowadays of this new global immunodeficiency that we are facing because of the modernization of telecommunication, one cause of this energy deficiency situation.
