Symptom specific treatments: where only the symptoms or the effects of autism are treated. This will also give very poor results. This is also called HOMEO-ALLOPATHY. Thyroidinum or IODUM will never be able to cure you of Thyroid issues it’ll only act as and anti-thyroid drug like in allopathy.

Classical homeopathy has been used with some success to alleviate symptoms, both mental and physical, or to cure individuals with Thyroid Problems. For many patients who have seen a large overall improvement in their Thyroid Problems, homeopathy has played a major role.
