Success Stories: Jai

Three months prior to his third birthday, I knew Jai was on his way to some sort of diagnosis. I didn’t know what was wrong with him, but I, and other people, just knew that he was not a normal two-year-old boy. Something was not right. I started him on the Feingold Program at this time, and eliminated all artificial colors and preservatives from his diet. Jai’s disposition changed rapidly. I saw him happily singing and hugging for the first time in a very long time. If he ate anything he had a sensitivity to, then a very miserable child emerged again. I knew he could not live the rest of his life like this. Changing his diet made a lot of symptoms disappear, but I knew there had to be a reason beyond food sensitivities that was causing such a young child to have such a horrible disposition. Through the advice of a mom whose child was helped by homeopathy, I decided to make an appointment.

In our first telephone interview with Dr. Luepker, we spent two hours talking about Jai from head to toe, inside and out. We started with him in the womb and worked our way up to the present time. Jai was too young to talk to the doctor himself, but Dr. Luepker knew what questions to ask in order to figure out what was going on with him. It was kind of amazing to spend two hours with a doctor who was asking for more information about all the little things that everyone else just patted you on the head for, and sent you on your way thinking that you were crazy. It’s not easy for a mom to view her child as not normal, especially when everyone else wants to blame you for not parenting properly.

Because of knowing another mom whose child was helped with homeopathy, I expected that within two years Jai’s food sensitivities would be gone, just like her son’s. I was surprised when, within a year of starting his treatment, Jai was able to eat almost any food without having reactions. I knew we were getting to the root of his problems with homeopathy. Jai is no longer hyperactive. He doesn’t have temper tantrums. Our son is one of the most affectionate four-year olds I know. Jai doesn’t let any of us leave the house without giving him hugs and kisses. He’d cuddle on our laps and read books for hours if he could. Although still hesitant in showing loving affection to people outside the home, Jai no longer growls and snarls at people who talk to him. Still a shy child, he does try more and more to speak to people when spoken to. Jai is also much more sensitive to younger children, realizing the need to care for them.

Thanks to homeopathy, we see a normal child before us. Jai will be able to function in a normal classroom, without sticking out like a sore thumb. Other people don’t complain about his discipline problems anymore. I knew I would never medicate my son, no matter what it took. By the grace of God, homeopathy has given Jai the freedom to eat what the other kids eat at birthday parties, and the freedom to run and play like other boys his age, instead of standing on the sidelines watching the fun and not having any himself. Homeopathy gets to the root of the problem instead of just covering up the symptoms like medication does. One of the best gifts a parent can give a child is to make sure they are the healthiest they can be, so they can reach their fullest potential in whatever they do. Homeopathy can achieve this without side effects. Now that Jai has done so wonderfully, I have just begun to be treated myself.”
