In order to find out if your child has developed antibodies to a particular disease in a vaccine you can go to your local doctor and have a antibody titer ( blood draw). Also keep in mind that it takes several doses of a vaccine to stimulate antibody production and it also takes your child to be several years old before they are able to make antibodies. Also antibody production is not necessarily equivalent to immunity. The same is true for the use of nosodes. It takes several doses and for the child to be a few years old to stimulate antibody production. However the nosodes have the added benefit as they stimulate the peripheral immune system along with antibody production resulting in a more complete immunity. As for how this program is set up in order to keep it within the confines of the research aspect all children are advised to take all of the remedies in the kit, even if there has been previous vaccination, and especially if the previous vaccination caused an adverse event. Taking the nosode will help to clear the vaccine and help the body reconcile it and develop a more balanced immune system response to it.
The other benefit of the program in it entirety is that we are embarking on stimulating the immune system in a healthy way, with this there is the potential to have the benefit of the disease without the suffering of the disease. This is based on the concept that diseases play an evolutionary role and help to reconcile inadequacies within us.

What about the required vaccinations for overseas travel, are there homeopathic alternatives.

Hello, As for as required vaccines you have to check with the CDC. so far homeoprophylaxis is not recognized at a state or federal level. However the only required vaccine I know of is the Yellow fever one for returning from yellow fever endemic areas. Unless you are in a program that requires other shots to you can create your own prophylaxis protocol based on where you are going and what the actual disease incidence is. See the Tropical Disease tab on this site for suggestions and consult a homeopath for a specific program for you.

Kate,
My 18 yo daughter had (was forced to have) the flu vaccine two weeks ago. At 2 weeks to the day, she developed excruciating back pain (we now think is kidney related), ascending paralysis which included her legs, hands and jaws ‘falling asleep’ (this is now ok). She also had nausea and weakness. That was 6 days ago. She now still has mild back pain, some nausea and weakness. What can I do for detox to prevent kidney damage, which is my main concern? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would call a homeopath right away and go in for a consultation. I can not give out medical advice online. I am available for consultation if you would like. I would need to see your daughter.
I think the flu vaccine has made it in o her spine and that is causing the ascending paralysis, check out the CDC website for adverse events from flu vaccine, I am sure you will find these symptoms listed. I would also call the doctor who gave the vaccine and make sure they report this as an adverse event to the CDC. If they don’t want to you can report the event yourself to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Board. Normally they only register those things that occur in the first 24-48 hours, but if after you go to a homeopath and they treat it as if it was an injury from flu vaccine and your daughter gets better then you know for sure this is the case. I am not sure where you live but if you let me know I can refer a local homeopath. Thanks

Hello,
I am considering using homeoprophylaxis with my newborn but only for the first 2 years of her life and then switching to traditional vaccines. How would that work? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance for your reply – and a huge thanks for your work!!!

Hello, You ask an interesting question which makes me think or more questions for you. I understand the reason to postpone vaccinations until a child’s immune system is more mature so as to be able to properly respond to the vaccines with less damage. Following that line of reasoning, it would also make sense to give one vaccine at a time and wait a long time between doses to be sure the immune system had fully responded and recovered to the previous vaccine. It might even make sense to re-evalaute if you still wanted to give all the vaccines at after waiting that time. Some diseases have more potential to be life threatening in infants, such as diphtheria, whooping cough, pneumonia, meningitis etc and that is why they are in infants vaccine schedules. As the child gets older they are less susceptible to complications to those diseases. So if one were to postpone the vaccines until the child is older then why vaccinate at all?
If I follow your line of thinking for homeoprophylaxis, if it worked, would then help to protect the infant in those early years it would be a far less toxic method that would work to stimulate the child’s immune system without causing any side-effects or damage. but then why at two years of age start the regular vaccines? If the homeoprophylaxis works as it is supposed to then to continue and finish the repeated dosing aught to be sufficient to complete the immune system response. Normally while only one dosing of the HP is sufficient in providing short-term protection, repeated dosing over the next years is needed to provide lasting immunity.
Switching to vaccinations at this time would not really allow the full benefit of the HP. And you would still get vaccine responses with their adjuvants, thimerosol and incomplete disease expression side-effects. The prior doses of HP may provide some protection from adverse effects from the vaccines and may actually help the vaccines to work better. This is often the protocol we give to people who have to be vaccinated for work but want some protection from the vaccine. In these cases we give the nosode of the disease in the vaccine 24 hours before hand so as to reduce its Mal-effects. But then it is possible to just use the nosode for disease prevention and not take the vaccine at all.
Now if the reason for doing the vaccines after the first two years of HP just to make sure that there is immune system response/ antibodies produced this is one way to go. As far as adverse reactions, between the two methods I don’t think there would be.
I hope this helps to answer. Please clarify if you need more information thank you

Thanks very much for your reply. Well, my reasoning is that as much as I know that it would not be right at this stage to introduce vaccines in my newborn and as much as I know I can protect her through breastfeeding at this stage, I am not sure how much I truly believe homeoprophylaxis will protect her as much as traditional vaccines in the future. Not only that, but I know we’ll travel a lot, to Europe, Africa, Asia, and I need to make sure she’s as protected as possible. At this stage, I am considering getting her tested in the future to find out if she carries the required antibodies against a given disease she would have received a homeopathic remedy against. May I ask you if you would recommend using 200 cc or 30 cc potenties when administering the nosodes, knowing that we may switch to traditional vaccinations in the future?

Yes I was thinking that this was the reasoning behind the question. It is true that we don’t have a sufficient body of evidence examining the process of how many doses, what potency, how old the child has to be before they will begin to develop anybodies. Previous research in Columbia, South America demonstrated that it takes three years of a program like this with at least four separate dosing incidence for antibodies to develop in 3 year old children who have been taking the program since 1 month of age. What this research does not say it what is the best potency to produce this action? does the child need to be three years of age before they will develop these antibodies? Does it take this many doses over three years to make antibodies? and if so, how long will the antibodies remain elevated?
In contrast we know that it takes 4-5 doses of the DPT vaccine to develop sufficient antibodies and these antibodies will remain elevated for 5-10 years after which a booster TDaP is needed. But then even after all those vaccines the child may still get Whooping cough as the wild virus has mutated.
We do know from the action of homeoprophylaxis remedies that each dose does make a change on the immunological level of susceptibility, and that children who have undergone subsequent dosing of HP nosodes are less susceptibility to getting many other sicknesses even if they have not yet developed antibodies. It is like the exposure to the energetic nature of certain sicknesses actually is strengthening the immune system. In this way, especially for travel where you don’t know what you will be exposed to and you may be exposed to diseases there are not any vaccines for, even if specific antibodies are not present the immune system is much more geared to preventing many diseases. This mechanism is not true for vaccines. Each vaccine tends to weaken immune system reaction, produce skewed immune system reactions or increase immune system reaction to the point of continued sickness.
As for potency the question remains as to which is best and which will for sure produce antibodies. Dr Isaac Golden in Australia has been working with HP since 1985. He used to give ascending potencies. I.e. 30C, 200C, 1M 10M. and then repeat this series. After a time he switch to the existing protocol of 200C then 10M repeated. I have adopted his method as I feel this is sufficient. For influenza prevention it is possible to use a 30C, 200C or 1M. It depends on the health of the person also availability and how knowledge the person has about usage. Usually the 30C is is self administered while 1M is through a practitioner. The 1M would last longer. But I have never had the person test for titers even though they do not get the flu and actually remain quite healthy through the winter.
As to how the program is set up on this site is, as it is a research project, everyone is registered and results will be tallyed. Each participant is registered with a supervisor so they have a point of contact for any questions a long the way. 30C usually has a shorter duration of action and not as deep. 10M is of course much deeper and longer in its action. Accordingly 30C is available over the counter while 10M potencies are only via a practitioner.
As for how they will react with the Vaccines? How they will work against or with the vaccines in which potency? It would depend on the child, which nosodes you are using, how much time there is between dosing and vaccination and so on. As with all disease prevention and modification methods it is advisable to work with a practitioner experienced in this kind of work. I hope this helps

Hi Kate,
Your website is fabulous! I have been working with every healing method I can find to cure my son’s sensory processing disorder and my daughter’s food allergies. I also have pain issues myself, and I know that vaccines are to blame for much of our ails. Can you recommend a good homeopath in the Phoenix area that might be a good fit for our family? I really want to get pregnant again, but I want to rid my body of some of the toxic imprints.
Thanks!
Nicole

HI Nichole, I would refer to the North American Society of Homeopaths, or the Council for Homeopathic Certification web pages for a homeopath in Phoenix. You want to find someone who is either Certified or Trained in CEASE protocols. This website has practitioners from around the world but perhaps you can find one in AZ: http://www.cease-therapy.com/make-appointment/all-certified-practitioners. Good luck

Hello Kate,
I’m writing in disparate need of help for my 11 month old son. He has been having food sensitivities and allergies since 2 months old. He had blood in his stool because I was consuming dairy while breast feeding. He has been vaccinated, and I decided to split the vaccines so he would not receive more than 2 at each visit. Since I chose to split them up we were going in every month!
He now is allergic to dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts, almonds, and has food reactive Eczema to just about everything else he eats.
I know there is something wrong with this picture, and would like to find a homeopath who can help rebalance his health and immune system.
We live in Illinois so I am willing to travel if need be, but my question is; is there hope for him, can we desensitize him from all of these food allergies?
Is there a specific homeopath I should be looking for?
Thank you,
Linda

Hello Linda thanks for your inquiry. Yes it sounds like even though you were trying to minimize the impact of the vaccines they did their work anyways in disturbing immune system functioning and making him allergic. Vaccines have Eggs, bovine casein, Peanut oil, soy lecithin and a host of other ingredients so it makes sense that with his immune system being instructed by the aluminum adjuvants that it is responding according to plan with vaccines. That said it is still possible to work with homeopathy to restore immune system balance and to clear some of these reactions. Yes you would want a homeopath versed in treating vaccine damage. I myself am one. I am not sure of the homeopaths in Illinois. I can do long distance but would like to see you in the office for the first visit if you could. Otherwise I do skype consults. Best is to stop all vaccines at this point and let his system work out what it has been bombarded with so far. Let me know if you have any more questions. thank you, Kate

hi i want homeopathy detox vaccine
By: jai cheema on January 10, 2013

I am not sure what you are asking for here as there is no such thing. The process of detox is a process, not a one time cure all pill. Vaccines are injected and are used for prevention of disease. Homeopathic remedies are never injected, though in the prophylaxis protocol can be used to educate the immune system about how to handle disease. If you are interested in the detox process then a consult is needed to evaluate on a case by case basis.
