Vaccination Issues – We All Need More Information

By Anais on February 8, 2015 • ( 1 )

You can hardly turn on the news these days without hearing about the current measles outbreak in several states, and vaccination issues. The energetic field of the topic has expanded by leaps and bounds. I believe a large slice of the expansion has to do with fear.

I have to say at the outset that I am a trained and practicing homeopath (DIHom from the British Institute of Homeopathy), I have two grown children who, in their lifetime, received one round of vaccinations, after which I discontinued the practice, and I have definite opinions about the validity and efficacy of modern vaccinations.

Knowledge is power, and good information is the foundation for making good decisions.

I would like to introduce you to a book I’m reading: The Solution, Homeoprophylaxsis: The Vaccine Alternative (A Parent’s Guide to Educating Your Child’s Immune System), by Kate Birch and Cilla Whatcott.

Here is an outline of the book’s contents:
– Explanation of infectious disease and overview of the immune system, its development, and the beneficial role of fevers
– Introduction and overview of homeoprophylaxis (HP) as an alternative to vaccination for preventing infectious contagious disease
– Questions and answers on HP
– Discussion of how HP effectively stimulates the immune system towards immunity without the side-effects caused by vaccines and captures the benefits of acute disease without the attendant suffering
– Discussions on the method and problems of vaccination
– Overview of clinical findings and access to HP
– A reference of acute disease and related remedies to sixteen commonly-vaccinated-against diseases and five tropical diseases (for those that wish to travel)
– Comparing and contrasting HP with the current methodology of vaccination

I have several books on the subject of vaccination written by reputable Homeopaths. All of them are packed away now until our hew house is ready to receive them. So if you have questions, please make your own inquiry. We do have options now – State laws vary. To find out where your State stands in relation to vaccines, visit The National Vaccine Information Center’s website. Their NVIC Advocacy Portal has detailed information on pending and current legislative stances regarding vaccination.

Here are some links to information:

– Author, Kate Birch’s website
– The Vaccine Alternative: A Film About Homeoprophylaxis
– The Vaccine Guide: Risks and Benefits for Children and Adults, by Dr. Randall Neustaedter
– An excerpt from Dr. Neustaedter’s book on diseases and associated vaccines

The current climate provides us all with an opportunity to dig further into issues now presenting; to edify ourselves and not take everything we hear in newspapers or on the evening news at face value. There’s more to the story!
