Finding Reason in the Infectious Disease Prevention Debate

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 parents’ rights to raisFront covere their children the way they see fit.

In my sojourn I have traveled to England, Belgium and the Netherlands. Stepping outside of the country allows one to see things from a distance and to gain perspective. Different cultures have different views and understanding of health and disease. In America it seems like there is more emotional energy spent on casting certain people aside based on their views, rather than wanting to understand the problem. The Media is as implicit as the CDC in giving half baked rationalizations touting the vaccine model when more and more scientific research is demonstrating that aluminum is causing brain damage(1) and the Hepatitis B vaccine is increasing the likelihood of autism(2), along side evidence that vaccinated children are more likely to contract the infectious disease than non-vaccinated children.

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. Husbands and wives are getting divorced because they don’t agree on the issue and grandparents are denied the ability to see their grandchildren if they don’t get vaccinated.

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. Infectious diseases are intelligent beings that are here to educate the immune system towards resolution of a problem. The goal is to understand the lesson and to harmonize our relationship with the infectious disease and the problem it is trying to solve. A true infectious disease prevention program needs to have this mechanism at the center of its goal. The immune system needs 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 in harmony with these viruses and bacteria.

If we let the government tell us what to inject into our blood, we have lost the sovereignty over our own bodies.  Our immune system is ours and is designed to protect us. How we go about educating our immune system is an innate part of our own survival mechanism.

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

Homeoprophylaxis as a public health care campaign

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 68 children now suffers from an autistic spectrum disorder! 1 in 42 boys versus 1 in 189 girls.*

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 childmaya
  • Parent are nervous about fevers but understand fevers are a good and normal part of childhood immunological 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 stimulate 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 result in death, allergies, seizures, etc.

Campaign for Vaccination:

  • Disease should be feared and avoided at all costsChild recieving a vaccine
  • 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?

The Discussion: to vaccinate, not to vaccinate, or what about HP

lemmingsTo 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 34 boys is on the autism spectrum, our schools are full of children with some sort of learning disorder (1 in 6), 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. Parents are saying it is the 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 her 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? We invite you to enter the discussion with us.

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.

Can my HP Child Play with Your Vaccinated Child?

There are three parts to this question. First we need to understand how disease actually works in the healthy immune system.  Next, what have vaccines done (and not done)  for the immune system?  And finally, how does homeoprophylaxis (HP) strengthen the immune system?

 

Point one-The way acute disease really works: Acute infectious disease shows itself by way of active symptoms, including but not limited to; fever, discharge, cough, eruptions, etc. If one is sick there are signs and symptoms of this sickness. Usually a child would be kept home from school and stay in bed while their body works out this infectious process. This mechanism is true for vaccinated, unvaccinated and HP children.  An unvaccinated or HP child with no visible signs of sickness is not contagious, nor do they harbor a list of infectious agents to infect other children with.

Susceptibility to sickness has to do with the inherent strength of the child’s immune system. The stronger the immune system, the better able the child is to defend and recover from acute illnesses. Some say acute illness actually comes along to serve this purpose: To strengthen the immune system. Sometimes children need the help of homeopathy to move all the way through a sickness.

Point two- What do vaccines do to the immune system? It is assumed that when your child receives a vaccine they are immune to a disease. Antibodies have been forced to be produced with adjuvants. This is a one-sided immune response. It is assumed that antibodies mean they will remain healthy. Truth is antibodies are not the same as immunity. Vaccinated children can still contract the disease as their general immune system function has not been keyed to the infectious agent. Truth is many vaccines are made with live attenuated viruses. These viruses can then be shed into the surrounding population even if the vaccinated child doesn’t show any visible signs of sickness. This is in direct opposition to the afore-mentioned statement that unvaccinated and HP children are not reservoirs of viral and bacterial agents as vaccinated children are.  Truth is vaccines have done nothing to strengthen the immune system or prepare that child for real infectious processes. They skew the immune system, manipulating production of antibodies.  This leaves the child in a state of sequelae from the vaccine with a variety of possible unresolved ear infections, upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Vaccines have done nothing to strengthen the functioning of the immune system. Recent studies have shown that in fact, this can leave the child more open to other infections. (1)

Point three- How HP educates the immune system: The key to understanding HP lies in the attenuation process. With a homeopathic nosode the disease entity has been diluted out of the solution. This means that there are no viral or bacterial particles left in the final preparation. This potentization process imparts an energetic frequency to the solution which is then understood by the human system. Upon exposure to the homeopathic nosode, the immune system reacts as if it has seen the disease. It learns about the disease process, and then recovers with no lingering symptoms – there are no viral or bacterial particles to transmit to others. What remains is an educated immune system and no after effects. This experience strengthens the immune system. The child is less susceptible to contacting the diseases for which the nosodes were given. The immune system has also been exercised and the child remains less susceptible to contracting other sicknesses as well. When the next virus comes along, the immune system has been educated in knowing how to develop a fever, mount a natural immune response, develop a discharge and resolve the illness.

So in answer to the question, yes, your vaccinated child can play with my HP child, because my HP child’s immune system knows what to do when it sees sickness and the viral particles your child may shed. However, your vaccinated child may be too sick with other lingering problems to come out to play.

Vaccines and Homeoprophylaxis Share the Same History

Did you know Homeoprophylaxis was developed at the same time as the smallpox vaccine? And that the cowpox vaccine for smallpox worked by the homeopathic law of similar disease?

Extracting cowpox from infected cow udders

Historically, with the smallpox epidemics in Europe, it was observed that those who previously contracted cowpox were immune to smallpox. This observation led scientists to the idea of inoculating people with cowpox disease to prevent smallpox. This was the first vaccination used on people. The inoculation material produced a mild local infection similar to that of smallpox and in some people generated life-long immunity to smallpox. At this same time homeopaths developed a homeopathic preparation of the smallpox vesicle and used this with equal effectiveness for the prevention of smallpox. This homeopathic nosode is called Variolinum.

Scientists researched the potential of preventing other diseases by introducing live viruses to stimulate immunity. Experiments were begun with dogs and the rabies virus. Unfortunately, this  method killed many dogs until Louis Pasteur had the idea to incubate the virus in rabbits to lessen its virulence. This was the first attempt at attenuation, or the weakening of the virulence of a disease.

This method of attenuating the virus in another host species tissue is still used today in the production of vaccines. Homeopathic attenuation is done instead through dilution and succussion.

The problem with the vaccine method is threefold:

  • The final product not only has the original pathogen but also the possibility of pathogens found in the host cell culture,[i]; [ii] viruses, and also DNA from the host cells. In addition, vaccines are loaded with a variety of other ingredients such as bovine casein, peanut oil, antibiotics, yeast and also aluminum adjuvants, which force the immune system into a hyperactive allergic response. In flu shots, the preservative Thimerosol, which contains mercury, is used.
  • Vaccines are injected, which bypasses the peripheral aspects of the immune system.
  • The vaccine schedule now lists multiple diseases to be given simultaneously and repeated often in a short amount of time. Infants’ immune systems are too immature to develop the appropriate immunological response to so many diseases at once.

As a result of this method, the ill-health of children in America has reached epidemic proportions.[iii] ,[iv], [v]

It is for these reasons we need Homeoprophylaxis (HP). It is a time-honored practice of infectious disease prevention and its effectiveness is well-documented throughout history.. [vii]  The difference between homeoprophylaxis and vaccination is the method of attenuation, delivery, and dosing schedule.

  • HP nosodes only contain a simple dilution of the original disease material, where the solution contains the memory of the substance only – nothing else; no chemicals, no additives, no antibiotics.
  • HP is given through the mouth in small pellets, so the intestines, where 80% of immunity resides, can recognize the disease material and start the work of building immunity.
  •  HP gives one single disease at a time. Developing immune systems are unable to resolve too many diseases at once. This is the safest and most natural way to allow sufficient time for developing immune systems to identify, mount a natural response, and resolve this immune system stimulation.
  • The end result is pure education of the immune system in how to mount an appropriate response in an unconfused way. But because there is actually no disease particle present in the final solution there is no risk of harm and the reactive process just passes on its own, leaving its imprint in the memory of the immune system.

With Homeoprophylaxis you get the learning of the disease without the suffering and without the attended side effects of vaccines. It educates children’s immune systems gently and safely.

What is Health Freedom?

Homeoprophylaxis (HP) provides another option to those parents seeking a safe alternative to vaccines. HP offers a way to educate your child’s immune system.  The right to choose one’s own healthcare and disease prevention option is a basic human right. This lies at the heart of health freedom.

The autism rate has been steadily increasing over the last two decades. It has reached epidemic proportions while U.S. health officials have been helpless to tell us the cause or the cure. In the U.S. one child in 50 now suffers from an autism spectrum diagnosis! Studies by independent researchers have identified vaccines as a causative factor.

Are you aware of how governmental actions can impact your life? When health care options are eliminated through restrictive laws and regulations, the freedom to choose is eliminated. Access to personal options becomes meaningless and erodes our basic right for the pursuit of freedom and happiness. The vaccine paradigm that has been imposed upon us is based on a construction of assumptions about how vaccines work in the immune system, rather than how the immune system actually works with infectious disease.

The National Health Freedom Coalition envisions “a healthy nation, with empowered people, making informed health care decisions.” This vision includes the right for individuals to choose their own disease prevention method. Education is a key ingredient in this process.

Democracy aims to provide individual freedoms – a true democracy includes the right to choose for one’s own health, or that of a child. What is the choice you need to make for your own family? Or have you mistakenly been swept along in the tide of those people who have let others choose for them? If we stand together and fight for freedom in health care choices we will make a difference.

We are all getting educated the hard way in retrospect of vaccine damage. Let’s go pro-choice and support other ways to protect our children’s immune systems and keep disease incidence down. Homeoprophylaxis offers another way.

Do You Want to Pay Now or Pay Later?

Have we been to bargaining with the health of our children?

cash or creditThe vaccine paradigm has been trading fevers and childhood illnesses for compounded chronic disease. According to Donald Miller, MD, a cardiac surgeon at the University of Washington Medical School, “developmental disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, cancer, and chronic diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes are the biggest problems among children today.” This is what we have traded for chicken pox, measles and mumps.

Chronic disease is the accumulated interest of eliminating acute disease, stopping fevers and suppressing all symptoms. It is a misguided effort to suppress the normal and necessary elimination processes of acute disease to maintain the illusion of “health.”

Getting the latest vaccine is alluring when all the “experts” tout the benefits of eradicating yet another strain of pneumonia. This has hoodwinked us into believing that all germs are bad. The truth is that exposure to these organisms and the purification of fevers is what keeps our children healthy.

True health is the result of a vibrant, well-exercised immune system. Every illness, cold, or fever makes a deposit into this health bank account. The goal is to capture the benefit of disease without the suffering.

This is the goal of homeoprophylaxis. Tiny doses of disease educate the immune system in a safe and effective way.  Allowing the natural cycle of a fever and resolution to build immunity is the dependable deposit into the lifelong health account. Avoiding all illness is simply accumulating interest to be paid later in the form of chronic ill health.

What is a Homeoprophylaxis Fever?

thermometerNot all fevers are alike!

A fever is the body’s attempt to remove invasion. It shows us that the immune system is working correctly! The goal is to receive benefits from the right kind of fever without risk. Let’s look at both curative and pathological fevers.

Infections are only one cause for a rise in temperature. Heat-stroke and head injuries can also produce fevers. Over exposure to a cold wind is another cause. Emotional responses, such as shock or trauma, can result in fevers. Teething children can develop a temperature with or without infection. The fever can actually be an important part of the developmental process!

The difference between a curative fever and a pathological one is shown by the general symptoms of the child. Fevers accompanied by restlessness, pain, agitation, listlessness, or stupor along with rapid respiration or feeble pulse are cause for concern.

A healthy immune response fever will come without worrisome symptoms. The child will exhibit a level of calmness and want to sleep and be left alone. Or they might be playing happily despite an elevated temp.

It is the level of suffering rather than the intensity of heat that indicates what supportive measures are needed. Intense pain, vomiting, delirium, or excess lethargy tell you to consult a practitioner for homeopathic remedies to ease the fever and support the immune process. How high is too high? A child who is up and playing can withstand a fever of 104 °F for several days with out worry. I child with a 100 °F fever who is limp and listless is cause for concern.

Parents have become increasingly afraid of fevers. Conventional treatment is to control fevers and suppress them. Doctors even recommend giving Tylenol before vaccinations. This is counter productive since we know the goal of vaccination is to mount an immune response. The fever is instrumental in accomplishing this!

It is important to monitor fevers. The concept of a curative fever must not be confused with letting a fever run wild. If left on their own, we don’t want fevers to be life-threatening. If left too long or allowed to get too high, fevers can cause serious complications. Dehydration is one of the most common side-effects. Convulsions can be the result of cerebral congestion if left untreated.

Homeopathic remedies support the body in the fever during this important immune system process. Suppressed fevers and unresolved sickness will often lead to more serious chronic illness, and a general state of weakness can thereby ensue for months or years.

Homeoprophylaxis Nosodes stimulate a mild fever while engaging the appropriate immune system disease recognition pathways, which in turn strengthens and educates the immune system.

The goal is to get the right fever, support it appropriately, and derive the most benefits for the immune system!

How Homeopropylaxis Educates the Immune System

Is disease bad?  What are we all afraid of?  What if there is really a beneficial purpose to acute disease?

Part of that purpose is to educate the immune system! What if in the suffering of childhood diseases there is the possibility of liberating the system from inherited encumbrances?

What we know is that the development of a fever equals a cleansing process. Metabolism is increased, toxins are cleared from the system, and we see developmental leaps after an acute illness resolves. Acute disease is called into the system to stimulate this process. The immune system is being exercised and is maturing through this natural and amazing process!

The problem is that, in some cases, the dose of acute disease may be too strong. What then? The question is how can we support the natural process of disease but not let this process be too violent?

Facilitating this process safely is the goal of homeoprophylaxis. The real goal is not to avoid disease but to capture the benefits without the suffering. The size of the dose of disease is critical in accomplishing this.

How does homeoprophylaxis get the right dose? By reducing disease to an energetic form through the homeopathic dilution process. This preparation is called a “nosode.”

Nosodes emit the same frequency as the original disease agent. This frequency acts to stimulate general immune system function. Taking a dose is like taking a tiny dose of the disease itself. Because the nosode is energetic there is no actual disease present, however when introduced to the body, the body behaves as if it has the disease for a moment. This process is sufficient to educate the immune system about that particular disease.

This is the similar principle vaccines were historically based upon. But……nosodes are made without additives, adjuvants (chemicals added to increase the action of vaccines) or preservatives!

These days vaccines have been used as an attempt to avoid disease at all costs.  However with increased chronic disease and disruptions in normal childhood development people are now questioning the costs of conventional vaccines.

With homeoprophylaxis your child can receive the benefit of catching the disease without any of the risks or suffering! THIS is true education of the immune system.

Benefits of Homeoprophylaxis

Vaccination and homeoprophylaxis (HP) share the same goal of protecting us from disease. They both use tiny doses of the disease with the intent to stimulate the immune system.

But there are some big differences.

Let’s look at the differences between them and see some distinct benefits of HP.

Vaccines contain ingredients to cause the body to recognize the disease and react. These are called “adjuvants” which increase the inflammatory response. Also included are antibiotics and preservatives. In flu shots, the preservative Thimerisol is still included in some vaccines.

HP only contains the disease material in very minute amounts – nothing else; no chemicals, no additives, no antibiotics. This material is not incubated with animal or human DNA.

HP is given through the mouth in small pellets, so the intestines, where 80% of immunity resides, can recognize the disease material and start the work of building immunity.

HP gives one single disease at a time. Developing immune systems can get confused trying to resolve too many diseases at once. The safest and most natural way is to allow time to identify, mount a natural response, and resolve the disease.

HP is safe for any age child, can be administered by the parents and most importantly, clinical studies have shown that it lessens the incidence of long-term chronic disease.

With Homeoprophylaxis you are educating your child’s immune system gently and safely.
