Frequently asked questions
Why is this website titled CHILDREN'S DESTINIES?
We live in these unprecedented times or rapid changes on many levels. When we speak of children's destinies, we understand that modern conditions of life pose challenges that have not been known to preceding generations. Never before our time we have seen so many chronic, severe, and disabling diseases in so many children.
​
We define children's destinies in modern conditions of life as a collective happening and an existential problem. It is a collective destiny of children because they are all subjected to identical or similar conditions. There are several contributing factors that could be useful to consider in trying to understand the possible causes of this problem:
​
- environmental pollution and constantly increasing quantity of toxins in the soil, water, and air;
- alienation from the natural and healthy environment, living in the exponentially growing artificial reality;
- globalization with rapid and unrestrained changes across the entire world, absence of cultural boundaries and safeguards;
- lack of knowledge of the three-fold human organization: three systems for thinking, feeling, and willing;
- standardization and conditioning of behavioral patterns, emotional reactions, and thinking abilities in children.

What is the biographical diagnostic method about?
A child's development proceeds in clearly demarcated seven-year cycles. Each seven-year cycle results in a specific event: change of teeth at the end of the first cycle, sexual maturity at the end of the second cycle, social maturity and sense of responsivity at the end of the third cycle. Every such cycle is hallmarked by the predominance of corresponding natural ability, or centers for thinking, feeling, and will.
Moreover, a child may have a certain physiological or psychological predisposition to specific ailments; these tendencies are sometimes called the constitutional tendencies in reference to a child's unique organizational makeup. It is important to recognize and address these tendencies before they reach their full manifestations as ailments or diseases.
Biographical method is very valuable in determining the weak spot in a child's physiology and psychology. It allows a practitioner to gain the insight into a child's development in the course of these seven year cycles and define strategies for targeted improvements with certainty and precision.
How do I request a consultation for my child?
We are offering both remote and in-person consultations. Currently, due to the global pandemic, we are able to conduct only remote sessions with the video meeting platforms such as Zoom, Skype, and Go ToWebinar.
During the initial session, a detailed biographical and other relevant data about the child will be gathered and used for in-depth evaluation of presenting problems. While the larger part of an initial session will be communication with the child's parents, a smaller portion of it will be assigned to observation and talking to the child. As a result of the entire assessment, a set of recommendations will be given which may include detailed nutritional, life style related, and therapeutic advice.
No clinical medical diagnosis will be given, and there will be no interference with the existing prescription medications, if any. The aim of biographical assessment is to elicit the deeper subtle functional and energetic workings of the child's body, emotions, and thoughts; and to provide precise balancing corrections in simple, yet effective ways.
My child has the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Can you help?
ADD and ADHD are very common disorders in children. Although these disorders may seem similar in different kids, they are not at all the same. By no means can the attention deficit disorders in children be standardized and approached indiscriminately. Each separate ADHD in each separate child requires a totally fresh individualized approach. In order for us to be effective in each given situation, we need to recognize the potential causes and tendencies that have led to this disorder and determine the main source of a problem. In most cases, the root cause of ADHD is weakness of the child's metabolic center, or the will. Therapeutic measures will be directed at optimizing the child's diet and daily rhythm.
