The Solution ~ Homeoprophylaxis: The Vaccine Alternative

• I got an email this morning from a mom who lives in Texas. She wants to do homeoprophylaxis (HP) for her two boys but was wondering if her Private Catholic school would accept the HP instead of vaccines and would HP produce titers sufficient to be accepted as immunity: The doctor would not write a medical exemption for vaccines as he did not see there being any medical condition that would preclude them. The school said if she did not vaccinate they would have to leave the school. I explained that HP did not satisfy state requirements or school requirements and that HP does not always produce titers even though it lessens susceptibility to disease.
• The mom of my 11:00am new patient appointment with a 9 year old autistic girl with excessive violence problems called to reschedule as the she believes the child has PANDAS:  They wanted to address the PANDAS with Antibiotics. I explained that homeopathy can help with not only the autism but also the PANDAS.  More often than not the PANDAS are a result of too many antibiotics given for ear infections that are a direct result of the vaccines. In my mind I am not sure how more antibiotics are going to help.
• A mother called about her two and a half year old son who had been having a fever on and off for the last three days: This mother was new to homeopathy when her daughter got a full body skin rash from her first DTaP vaccine. After Clearing the DTaP vaccine with the CEASE protocol in homeopathy the skin rash completely resolved.  We had also been working on clearing the Pediarix vaccine from her son. He had behavioral issues, was not talking, and seemed to be having a variety of symptoms that looked like developmental delays. With every vaccine he had been given she was instructed to give Tylenol so that he wouldn’t get a fever. I had explained that in order for the vaccine to do what it is intended to do, ie to stimulate immunity, the child needed to get a fever. The reason her child was suffering from the developmental delays was that because the fevers had always been suppressed. In these last two months with the CEASE clearing of the Pediarix vaccine he had been developing fevers and discharges and now his behavior is normalizing. He is speaking more and development seems to be returning to normal.  This fever today was a random fever not relating to any clearing protocol. She said this is the first natural fever he has had she has not given Tylenol for. Based on the symptoms I suggested Gelsemium and to call back in a few hours. My expectation was that he should sleep, the fever would go up, and he would sweat. When he wakes the fever should be gone.
• I got a call from a long-time patient whose neighbor got a flu shot three weeks ago and is now in the hospital with Guillain–Barré Syndrome: The symptoms started shortly after the vaccine with weakness and paralysis of lower limbs but progressed quickly to full body paralysis with an emergency tracheotomy as he was suffocating. During the surgery they accidentally cut his vocal cords so now he can’t speak. She wondered if homeopathy could help? I said yes we would need to address why his immune system is attacking his nerves.
• Later, while registering a new family for the HP program for their second child I had a long discussion with the mom about how to talk with the nurse mother-in law about not vaccinating: This mom had initially come to me for help with their three year old who, after the Pediarix vaccine started to develop OCD type behaviors after the second round of antibiotics given to address the recurrent double ear infections she had been having. The mother was remarking that since we had initiated the CEASE Clearing protocol with the Pedirax vaccine nosode and Carcinosin, and after the fevers and sweat which developed in the clearing process, her child had stopped screaming and throwing tantrums, had begun to talk, and toilet train and no longer screamed in the bath. It was after these improvements and a new understanding of how her child’s immune system had been struggling with the vaccines that she and her husband decided that they did not want to vaccinate their new born. During our conversation as I was explaining that HP nosodes are just the pure disease energy without any other ingredients like bovine casein, pig’s intestines or human diploid cells (aborted fetal tissue), she stopped me and said she started to feel really sick. I asked why? She said it was because her brother-in-law, who developed the Hib vaccine, was over just recently getting more cows blood from their dairy cows for his vaccine lab; She was becoming sick at the realization of her small little part in the production of vaccines that in turn were being injected into millions of children who in turn could end up with developmental delays and more. She was sick to her stomach at the implication of it all- this mad-scientist method of disease prevention we have indoctrinated everyone into believing is truth.
• My day ended with the mother of the boy with the fever calling back saying that yes he had been sleeping all afternoon: She had given all three doses. The fever had gone up as expected and now he was really sweaty. He woke up happy. Was there anything more she should do?  I said the fever is passing, his immune system is doing what it needs to do.

How was your day?

This week I have had the opportunity to step outside of my country of residence (USA) for a week, and with much rest have had the time to examine the state of affairs in the US with regards to vaccines, autism, and states encroaching on parent’s rights to raise their children the way they see fit.

In my sojourn I have traveled to England where  a band of people have dedicated their lives to defaming homeopaths. They stand by their assertions that all homeopaths are delusional  and there is no way homeopathy could ever help to prevent or treat infectious contagious disease amidst a growing measles epidemic.

I have read blogs discussing how  vaccines have killed, maimed, or otherwise damaged the health of children, and other blogs on how people are fired from their jobs, or kicked out of schools for not vaccinating. There are posts from mothers who have lost the ability to know in their own gut what is right for their children; who are easily persuaded by fear and propaganda while the government is busy making plans to track everyone’s vaccine status.  All this is happening in a country where infectious disease is nearly nonexistent.

There are those who would argue that the reduction of infectious disease is because of vaccines.  There are also those who can demonstrate it is vaccinated children who are now contracting the diseases.

The whole thing seems way out of control. The reason and rationale that should prevail in ordinary, thinking people’s minds is shot out the door. Pregnant pro-vaccine moms are pitted against life-long friends who are parents of non-vaccinated  children.

For me it is not whether you vaccinate or not, but rather if the rationale you rely upon to make the choice regarding your children‘s health is sound. If you let fear be your guide – whether it is fear of the disease, or fear of vaccines – you are denying yourself the opportunity to really understand the problem and any possible solution.

We must first try to understand the true nature of infectious disease. Next we must understand how the immune system really works, and then seek to find a system of medicine that helps the individual learn about the disease process and how to recover from it. People may come and go, but no matter what we do, infectious disease is here to stay. It is our job to figure out how to live with these viruses and bacteria in harmony.

If we let the government tell us what to inject into our blood, have we lost the sovereignty over our own bodies?  Then is it really possible for us to think for ourselves anymore?

Let’s calm down bit, let ration be our guide, and look towards a Solution that can help get us out of this mess.

From Penn State University – Managing bacteria and other microorganisms in the body, rather than just fighting them, may be lead to better health and a stronger immune system, according to a Penn State biologist.

Researchers have historically focused on microbes in the body as primarily pathogens that must be fought, said Eric Harvill, professor of microbiology and infectious disease. However, he said that recent evidence of the complex interaction of the body with microbes suggests a new interpretation of the relationship.

“Now we are beginning to understand that the immune system interacts with far more beneficial bacteria than pathogens,” said Harvill. “We need to re-envision what the true immune system really is.”

Harvill said that this reinterpretation leads to a more flexible approach to understanding how the immune system interacts with microbes. This approach should balance between defending against pathogens and enlisting the help of beneficial microbes.

While the role that some bacteria play in aiding digestion is better known, microbes assist in improving body functions, including strengthening the immune system and responding to injuries.

In some cases, attacking pathogens can harm the beneficial effects microbes have on immune system, according to Harvill. For example, patients on antibiotics have an increased risk of contracting yeast infections and MRSA.

“Viewing everything currently considered immunity, including both resistance and tolerance, as aspects of a complex microbiome management system that mediates interactions with the sea of microbes that surround us, many of which are beneficial, can provide a much more positive outlook and different valuable perspectives,” Harvill said.

The system that includes bacteria and other microbes in the human body, or the microbiome, is much larger and more integrated into human health than most people suspect, according to Harvill.

“The human body has 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells,” said Harvill.

Adding to the complexity is the adaptive capacity of the human immune system. The immune system can develop antibodies against certain pathogens, which it can reuse when threatened by future attacks from the same pathogen.

Harvill, who described his alternative viewpoint in the latest issue of mBio, said that some researchers have not yet accepted this broader approach to the immune system.

“Among immunologists or microbiologists this is an alien concept,” said Harvill. “It’s not part of how we have historically looked at the immune system, but it’s a useful viewpoint.”

Other researchers who study plant and nonhuman biology are already starting to embrace the concept. For example, plant biologists are beginning to recognize that viruses can help plants resist drought and heat.

“Within nonhuman immunology, this is not an alien concept because they have seen many examples of beneficial relationships between the host and its microbial commensals,” Harvill said.

Harvill said adopting this new perspective could be the first step toward new medical treatments.

“This new viewpoint suggests new experiments and results will published,” said Harvill. “And, hopefully, the concept becomes more and more mainstream as supporting evidence accumulates.”

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences supported this work.

We thought we would compare the public health care campaign of homeoprophylaxis to the campaign of vaccination.  This is in light of the latest autism statistics -  1 in 50 children now suffers from an autistic spectrum disorder!*

If we are to inject multiple disease agents into the blood stream of infants to elicit an immune system response, then we must be able to recognize the response we are getting and determine if it is the desired response.

Campaign for Homeoprophylaxis:

• Parents want to keep their children healthy
• Parents know what is best for their child
• Parent are nervous about fevers but understand fevers are a good and normal part of immunological childhood development
• Disease prevention programs should come with signs that the immune system is responding and recovering  completely from stimulation
• Stimulation of the immune system is done in such a way as to educate the immune system from the periphery to the interior without putting the child at risk
• Homeoprophylaxis uses doses of disease at the energetic level, one disease at a time, to gently stimulated an orchestrated immunological immune response to build deeper and longer lasting immunity
• By these gentle immunological stimulatory events your child’s immune system is now healthier and remembers how to get sick and how to recover
• Voluntary participation in homeoprophylaxis actually helps to keep disease incidence down to protect the rest of the public
• Documentation and full disclosure of all reactions allows us to know what is happening with your child and what is actually happening as a result of the immunological stimulation on a short and long term basis
• Children can grow up free, happy and healthy without risk of adverse events that results in death, allergies, seizures, etc.

Campaign for Vaccination:

• Disease should be feared and avoided at all costs
• If you do not vaccinate, you are a bad parent and putting your child at risk of the disease which can be fatal
• If you do not vaccinate you are putting the rest of the population at risk as your child may be riddled with disease
• You are putting your child at risk if they have a fever
• Infants immune systems can easily accommodate up to 10 diseases at one time without any immunological signs of reactivity
• Fever reducers should be given at the time of vaccination to reduce the risk of high fevers and suppress any immunological activity because somehow we can stimulate immunity with a vaccine without getting a fever
• Those fevers, ear infections, neurological aberrations that occur after vaccines have nothing to do with the vaccines but just show that the child has some sort of immunological condition
• We are not tracking reactions other than those that occur in the first 48 hours after vaccines as reactions that occur after this time period have nothing to do with the vaccines
• It is no problem to keep giving vaccines if these symptoms are present because none of these symptoms have anything to do with the previous vaccines given
• Your child who has behavior problems, emotional outbursts or night terrors is lacking the proper parenting
• Food sensitivities have nothing to do with the vaccine ingredients, but rather our food sources are polluted somehow
• Aren’t you glad you vaccinated because if you didn’t, you would probably have a child die from infectious disease
• Occasional adverse events from vaccines are expected and they are the reasonable expense of a public healthcare model. Some children will die or suffer permanent damage
• Most immunological responses after vaccines are considered coincidental to the vaccination and should be ignored. Both short term and long term health outcomes of our children have nothing to do with vaccines because studies have proven vaccines are safe
• The CDC will now study and compare the health outcomes of unvaccinated and vaccinated children but this study will not be open to the public

What do you think? Which campaign elicits fear and which campaign speaks to the reason of inquiring parents?

To vaccinate, or not to vaccinate, is the question. What happens in your family? The conversation has evolved over time. Ten years ago, if one were to say he was opposed to vaccination, he would have been scorned.

The common convention was for everyone to vaccinate; it was just assumed.  Only in private groups could you find like-minded individuals who didn’t feel right about vaccination. In these groups you could discuss other options, like what homeopathy might have to offer, or what an alternate vaccine schedule might look like?

Back then the big concern in children’s health was ADD or ADHD, and whether or not Ritalin was the appropriate medical treatment for such a condition. No one ever really talked about autism, or pervasive developmental delays. Nor was the public media full of hype about the importance of vaccination, the neglect you were exercising over your children if you didn’t vaccinate, and more importantly what a risk you were to society if you didn’t vaccinate.

Now the story is very different.  1 in 54 boys is on the autism spectrum, our schools are full of children with some sort of learning disorder, and nearly every child has some sort of food intolerance, allergy, immunological problem, behavior problem or more. The officials say it has nothing to do with vaccines.

This is where it gets interesting. How have we, as humans, allowed things to get to such a state of affairs? These are our children. Do we not have a say in how they grow and what goes into their bodies? We must keep the discussion going. Even if we don’t know the answers, we must keep asking the questions and we must start doing something differently. When it comes to vaccination or not vaccinating, how does the discussion go in your family?

In some families the difference of opinion between husbands and wives is sufficient to arrive in divorce courts. Until recently the court would usually side with the parent wanting to vaccinate the children. In other families the discussions are more amicable and the husband goes along with the decision of the mother. Maybe she is the one doing all the research. Maybe she has a gut feeling that vaccines are not good for the children.

Until recently it has looked like the only options would be to either vaccinate, give a modified vaccine schedule, or to not vaccinate. Now, however, under the umbrella of Free and Healthy Children International, we have the option of Homeoprophylaxis to educate children’s immune systems. Now across America a hum is growing about this new way of disease prevention that keeps children’s immune systems healthy.

How is this hum changing the discussions in families about their children’s health?  How much time needs to pass, or how sick do our children need to be before we fully embrace another way? How much proof about the effects of vaccines needs to be revealed?  How can each individual’s participation in this discussion help to change the course of history?

Carl Jung said, “rather than being sufferers of our time, we are creators of our own epoch.”  With homeoprophylaxis we have the opportunity to change a paradigm. Rather than sit back and watch as more and more children fall like lemmings over the cliffs of bad science and financially-motivated agendas, we can forge ahead, into a new and healthier future.

Parents often will express that when they think about giving their child a vaccination, or a collection of vaccines, their ‘gut feeling’ is telling them it’s just not right. They may talk to their partner or doctor about this only to be told that their ‘gut feeling’ is nonsense and they should look at all the data stating vaccines are perfectly safe, and if one doesn’t vaccinate they are putting their child at risk for disease.

The thought of putting one’s child at such risk is often enough to register a new feeling in the gut. This is one of fear and protection. This feeling is obeyed since vaccines are the only option presented for infectious disease prevention. The initial gut feeling that vaccines may harm their child is overruled by the natural instinct to protect one’s child.

Why is it in one instance the ‘gut feeling’ is to be ignored while in the other  the ‘gut feeling’ is to be obeyed? In the first, the feeling is dismissed as being uninformed, not listening to facts, or emotionally driven (as if this has no value), while in the other instance the protective (emotionally driven) instinct we have for our children in the face of disease is valued, encouraged and honored? Are not both of these emotional prerogatives arising from the same place inside of us; that of protecting our children?

The reality is that all ‘gut feelings’ inform us of important truths that sometimes the outward appearance of things seems to contradict.

What we have been told to be true about vaccines may be true in theory. What we see in clinical practice is a very different story. Many parents come to our homeopathic practices to repair the damage from vaccines saying, ‘I had a gut feeling that the vaccines weren’t right, but I didn’t have any information to back it up so I gave them anyway.’ How they regretted their choice when they realized that by ignoring their ‘gut feeling’ they unwittingly damaged their child’s health.

We advocate that when it comes to protecting children’s health you must trust your gut. Children naturally trust us to protect them.  If we live in integrity with ourselves, our gut will inform us well about both the simple decisions and the more difficult ones – whom we should be friends with, what we want for dinner, which job to take, and how to protect our precious children. It is that simple.

What does your gut feeling tell you about Homeoprophylaxis? Perhaps you need more information before you know what you are feeling. Are you wanting to know more? We are here to answer your questions and share our own experiences. We are here to offer an alternative to raise more free and healthy children.  Kate and Cilla

In December of 2008 I had the amazing opportunity to speak at an international conference in Havana, Cuba, on the subject of the Role of Government in Infectious Disease Prevention. The Carlos J. Finlay Institute (A Cuban World Health Organization approved vaccine manufacturer) hosted NOSODES2008,[i] an International Meeting on Homeoprophylaxis (HP), Homeopathic Immunization, and Nosodes for Epidemics. Representatives from twelve different countries spoke on a variety of programs demonstrating the efficacy of homeopathy for infectious disease.

As the conference progressed, and speaker after speaker, from most every continent of the world, presented their papers it was easy to see that those of us who share the vision of the global application of homeopathy, for the prevention and treatment of infectious contagious disease, now had before us tangible and successful methodologies by which it could be applied.

Cuba has long been extoled as having one of the best medical systems in the world. Dr. Gustavo Bracho and Dr. Conception Campa Huergo, of the Finlay Institute  (created the first ever meningococcal vaccine) have been respected worldwide for their excellence and diligence to the scientific method. They have published articles in respected Medical journals for the last 20 years.

Under the direction of the Vice Ministry of the Ministry of Health known as Direccion Nacional de Medicina Natural y Tradicional, studies into the homeopathic prevention of Leptospirosis were made. The Cuban Health Ministry had been studying incidence rates of Leptospirosis since 1981. They had observed that incidence rates go up according to rain fall, and with flooding or natural disasters. The Finlay Institute had developed a vaccine for Leptospirosis but despite its use, disease incidence had remained the same. In 2007 and 2008 Cuba was struck by Hurricanes Noel and Dean, Gustav and Ike respectively.  In preparation for the extensive flooding, and subsequent increase in incidence of leptospirosis that was to follow, The Cuban Ministry set the task to inoculate three of the most vulnerable eastern provinces with nosoLEP, (a homeopathic preparation of 4 strains of leptospirosis). As compared to the rest of the country, which was used as the control, leptospirosis incidence was reduced by 84% while incidence rose by 21% in the rest of the country over the same time period.[ii] For reasons I can only surmise not a single conventional medical journal would publish this undeniably favorable outcome of homeoprophylaxis.

One of the other papers presented at the conference was the results of the world’s largest long-term study trial of homeoprophylaxis for childhood infectious contagious diseases. This program was developed by Dr. Isaac Golden, PhD, D.Hom., N.D., of Australia. Some 3000 individuals participated in his HP program. He found that the efficacy of HP was higher than that of vaccination. Furthermore his results demonstrated that children who underwent the program were also statistically healthier than those who are vaccinated or received no treatment or prevention at all.[iii]

As I have researched the subject more in the last few years I have come across numerous studies around the world demonstrating the effectiveness of HP in a variety of diseases: Polio,[iv] cholera,[v] Dengue,[vi]  Meningitis, [vii] and Diphtheria.[viii] ,[ix], [x] With these results in hand and due to increased concern over possible lack of safety with vaccination I knew I needed to make available in North America the same HP program.

Correspondingly, due to growing numbers of parents with concerns over vaccines, studies on the effects of vaccines[xi],[xii] and 2011 autism statistics released by the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS[xiii]) parents are actively seeking out alternative methods of disease prevention. In hopes to satisfy their obligation to society by participating in public health care campaigns to keep disease incidence down, many parents are looking to HP as an alternative to the regular vaccine schedule.

Under the auspices of further research into the effectiveness and efficacy of HP, Cilla Whatcott and I have embarked upon the task of educating Homeopaths to supervisor their clientele throughout North America.  We currently have over 300 children participating. All participation is voluntarily and supervised by a trained homeopath. We have written the book, The Solution ~homeoprophylaxis: The Vaccine Alternative to serve as a guide to understanding how HP works in the developing immune system.

What we have come to learn is that the primary goal of HP is to educate the immune system to a variety of infectious agents, in so doing, disease incidence goes down. This goal differs from that of vaccination programs which are more about trying to eradicate disease regardless of the consequence in the immune system of the individual. The nosodes used for HP are prepared according to the HPUS a branch of the FDA. In their preparation, they have been serially diluted and succussed so as to reduce their crude form to energetic.  Dr. Luc Montagnier, The French Nobel Prize winner for his discovery of the HIV virus, has been working for the last eight years on the ramifications of his findings that diluted solutions of infectious agents emit the same frequency as the original agent does.[xiv] His findings give a possible explanation of how dilute preparations of disease agents can stimulate biological action and accordingly have the potential to produce immunity and alter disease incidence.
