Behavior Problems in Children

CFI and Children’s Behavior Problems

I brought my daughter to see Dr. Hellmuth Hinz, N.D., Ph.D., R.M.T. for the first time in early spring of 1999.  She was 7 years old at the time.  I was in a total panic at the time.  My daughter had been diagnosed with manic depression when she was 5 years old.  She was put on antidepressants at the time.  I was very concerned about this  not knowing what these chemicals would do to her growing body, but due to her condition felt I had no choice.  Her symptoms had begun to reemerge over the winter of 1998  1999.  She had again become very violent with her sister and me, and finally herself.  She had been  put on different antidepressants by her psychiatrist and was in therapy at the time.  She was only becoming worse.

Let me describe her condition during this time period and when I took her into the Arcturus Foundation offices to see Hellmuth Hinz:  She had a terrible fear of separating from me.  I could not get her to school most of the time.  She would lay in the halls outside of her classroom and scream and cry.  If I pulled her to her feet, she would run about wildly  into the street and traffic on one occasion.  An observing school staff person once asked if she were possessed.  Her whole body would be stiff; talking and pleading with her would make no difference.  If I could get her into her classroom she would be fine  in fact she was and has remained an honor student.

At home she would physically attack her older sister and me.  She would throw and break things, screaming she hated us.  These ”fits” or tirades would be set off by anything  me asking her to do her homework, her sister not sharing a toy, bedtime, suddenly disliking an outfit  you name it.  Regular everyday occurrences  nothing shocking or unusual.  Her strength and energy were amazing  these episodes could last up to an hour.

She wasn’t sleeping.  She would sleepwalk and began to wet the bed.  She experienced chronic nightmares. 

Then she began to attack herself.  She would talk (sometimes scream) about hating herself and wanting to die.  She would take her cat’s paws, eject the claws, and run them down her own face.  Once I had to hold her for over an hour because she was trying to smash her fists through the glass fireplace doors.  She would lash out in the car, kicking me, the gears, the windows, and trying to open the doors while the car was moving.  Once she kicked off the rear view mirror because she was using such force.

These outbursts would always end in the same way.  She would finally wear herself out and lay on the floor crying that she was a horrible person, she hated herself, she was so very sorry.  Her screams would become sad tears.

After her first visit with Hellmuth Hinz I could see an immediate difference.  I could visibly see some of the tension leaving her body.  She began to go to school with much more ease.  I could see sometimes that she was about to “go off”, but would stop herself many of the times, and talk her way through what was upsetting her. 

From the onset, she trusted Hellmuth Hinz completely.  She looked forward to her visits with him and would tell me she knew he was taking care of her.  It was like she knew she was getting well.  And on some level that I can’t explain or understand, she knew why.  After her third visit, she literally danced out of the office, twirling in circles in the sunlight saying, “I am so happy.”  It had been so long since I had seen this side of her; I had been so afraid that I never would again.  I cried.

The outbursts stopped.  She began to act like a “regular” child.  When she didn’t get her way or was angry, she might fuss a bit like any child would, but could be talked to and the problem resolved.  Her school attendance became regular.  Again, she loved school, her teacher, and the work she did.  Rather than striking out at her sister, I have seen her finding ways to reach out to her  she will hug her now and tell her she loves her, offer her things, do her favors, think of her feelings.

Her self esteem continues to rise.  She is more apt to try new things and not become angry if she doesn’t do them perfectly the first time.  She talks about her feelings now and there are NO more tantrums and acting out.  She has settled into herself and can now reach out to the world around her.  She is loving with her friends, her cats, and with me.  When she is having a bad day or in a bad mood, it is one that anyone would have.  There is no more talk of self-hatred.  Not long ago she made the statement, “My life is complete.”

I know this sounds like a miracle.  And it is.  I honestly feel like Hellmuth Hinz saved her life.  He is a healer.  He has given my daughter her life back.

CFI Successful with ADD

“My daughter, Ayala, was diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in the summer of 1997.  We opted to not put her on Ritalin as advised by physicians.  The first nine weeks of school (second grade) was proving too difficult for her to stay on task.  After one session with CFI Therapy, she made the honor roll in behavior and grades.  In the beginning of the third grade she seemed to be struggling and unable to stay on task.  After another session, she is once again coming home with A’s and seems to be better able to comprehend the school work.”
