Homeopathy
For Your Child
by Dr.Rajesh Shah and Dr.Rupal Shah
Homoeopathy is extremely effective for practically all sorts of complaints
occurring in children.
Ever
since the science of homoeopathy was introduced 200 years ago by a German
doctor Samuel Hahnemann, it has won praise especially for the treatment
of little new-born, neo-nate, infants and children; of course for variety
of reasons. Today, there are many paediatricians preferring homoeopathic
treatment for their children and patients in various paediatric conditions.
Essentially, any medicine administered to children must be free from harmful
effects. Homoeopathic medicines are prepared mainly from herbs, vegetable
kingdom, minerals and are given in very minute doses so that they are 100%
non-toxic, having no adverse effects whatsoever.
Unlike antibiotics and other such medicine, homoeopathic pills do not
hamper digestion; does not lower resistance power; does not produce allergy
and does not harm even if taken for long-term. Homoeopathy pills being
sweet in taste, is accepted with pleasure by children. They are never bitter,
cause no nauseative feeling and kids do not make fuss while taking homoeopathic
medicines. It is so easy to take that even one day old neonates can be
administered treatment without forcefully inducing in them, saving them
from lot of weeping, crying and inconvenience. Homoeopathic therapy is
superior to traditional treatment of administering medicine through injections.
No injectables are required while you are on homoeopathy. Even a comatose
child may be administered homoeopathic medicines without injections, that
is the beauty of this science. To name some eminently children disorders,
where homoeopathy works very well : Infant’s colic, Fever, Teething problems,
Vomiting, Dysentery, Nephrotic Syndrome (Kidney disease), Growth related
problems, Convulsions (Epilepsy), Infantile Eczema, Jaundice, Brain infections
(Meningitis), Fungal infections, Warts, Hair-Loss (Alopecia), Growing pains,
Poor concentration, Arthritis in children, Psoriasis, Leucoderma (white
spots), Pimples, and Thyroid problems to name a few. Homoeopathy can be
proclaimed to be definitely effective, for various emotional disorders
occurring commonly in the new generation children of this 20th century.
Various psychosomatic disorders such as Bed-wetting, Headaches, and Gastritis
respond to homoeopathy. more
Homeopathic
Medicines for Children and Infants
Whether children actually know or sense that homeopathic medicines are
good for them for not, they deserve safe medicines. It is time that parents
and physicians seek safe, natural and effective alternatives to conventional,
potentially harmful drugs. Homeopathic medicine is one such alternative.
Homeopathic remedies are able not only to relieve many common acute problems
of children, but can help prevent recurrent bouts of illness. And homeopathic
medicines can treat both physical ailments and emotional upsets.
A new study, published in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal on
2/12/01, is the first placebo-controlled study to suggest that homeopathy
is effective in the treatment of acute otitis media in young children.
Their randomized, double0blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study of 75 children
aged 18 months to six years with middle ear effusion and ear pain and/or
fever for no more than 36 hours was conducted in Seattle Washington, by
Jennifer Jacobs, M.D.
Homoeopathy
for Children
by Frederick Cole D. Hom(Med). FHMA (Frederick Cole has
been a practising homoeopath for 15 years and is president of the United
Kingdom Medical Association. )
My younger daughter then aged two had a severe case of measles and was
treated with homoeopathy to ease the symptoms. She had not been vaccinated
but she caught the infection from her equally as ill older sister who had!
When she was six the same daughter woke one morning with swelling on one
side of her jaw. A visit to the GP confirmed our diagnosis of mumps. No
treatment available was the GP's statement, just keep her warm in bed and
she would be over it fully in about ten days. As there were no distinct
indications my daughter was given a tablet of Merc. cor. 6 to hourly. By
bedtime the swelling had gone totally. The next morning she woke with the
swelling on the other side, but with distinct symptoms pointing to Belladonna,
hot, flushed face, pain on slightest movement. With the remedy given at
two hour intervals the swelling had reduced by fifty per cent by the next
morning. By the third evening it had gone completely and on the evening
of the sixth day my daughter was dancing, whooping and yelling at her elder
sister's birthday party as if nothing had occurred.

Treatment of Children: Pediatric Constitutional Types by Paul Herscu,
ND
"Dr. Herscu's work is the first modern pediatric materia medica. This
book represents a significant step forward in helping practitioners who
treat children to understand the importance of seeing the integration of
body and mind, the developmental aspects of each, and their manifestation
in health and disease. This book will greatly aid my pediatric practice,
for his writings enabled me to see, hear, smell, taste and experience each
of the major childhood constitutional types." - Richard Solomon, M.D.,
Assistant Professor, Medical College of Pennsylvania, Allegheny General
Hospital
"This book is a compelling description and impressively practical guide
to the use of homeopathic medicines in treating underlying health problems
of children. Herscu's clear and vivid depictions of these constitutional
types will help anyone understand children more deeply and help to cure
them more completely" - Kenneth P. Stoller, M.D., Fellow of the American
Academy of Pediatrics.
Linda Johnston, MD - "At the turn of the last century, mothers
treating their children's problems easily and inexpensively caused the
news of Homeopathy to spread like a brush fire. Many people successfully
treated typhoid, cholera, measles, mumps, tuberculosis, smallpox and other
diseases with their Homeopathic remedies and without doctors."
"Most parents feel compelled to take some disease-preventing action
for their children. While there is no 100% guarantee anywhere, there are
viable alternatives. Historically, homeopathy has proven many times to
be more effective than allopathic medicine in the treatment and prevention
of disease, with risk of harmful side effects. In a U.S. cholera outbreak
in 1849, allopathic medicine saw a 48-60% death rate, while homeopathic
hospitals had a documented death rate of only 3%. Roughly similar statistics
still hold true for cholera today. Recent epidemiological studies show
homeopathic remedies as equaling or surpassing standard vaccinations in
preventing disease. There are reports in which populations that were treated
homeopathically after exposure had a 100% success rate-none of the treated
caught the disease. There are homeopathic kits available for disease prevention.
Homeopathic remedies can also be taken only during times of increased risk
(outbreaks, traveling, etc.), and have proven highly effective in such
instances. And since these remedies have no toxic components, they have
virtually no side effects. In addition, homeopathy has been effective in
reversing some of the disability caused by vaccine reactions, not to mention
many other chronic conditions with which allopathic medicine has had little
success."

Vaccine
Free Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Contagious Disease with Homeopathy
This book provides an introduction to homeopathic philosophy, discusses
the side-effects of vaccines, and succinctly outlines the homeopathic prevention
and treatment of childhood illnesses, tropical diseases, and sexually transmitted
diseases. The philosophy and practical applications of homeopathy described
in this book offer the world an alternative or conjunctive path to the
use of vaccination for the treatment and prevention of infectious contagious
diseases. Moreover, this book is full of useful information and advocating
for the effective treatment of infectious contagious disease with homeopathy.
Considering the state of affairs in world health, where more than half
of the world lives in poverty, without clean water, and adequate food supplies,
the annihilation of infectious contagious disease with any healing modality
is very difficult. Homeopathy offers an inexpensive and effective treatment
plan which can more radically improve the status of health on this planet
for its human inhabitants than any other system of medicine has so far.
Not only is the information herein useful for the treatment of infectious
contagious diseases but it also lays a foundation for deeper study into
chronic disease. The philosophical chapters introduces the basic tenants
of homeopathy, and overview of the immune system, and discusses vaccine
injury in the immune system in the light of homeopathic philosophy. The
clinical chapters cover: childhood eruptive disease such as chickenpox,
measles, and scarlet fever: diseases that have a historical significance
and/or raise concerns due to biological warfare, smallpox, anthrax, and
plague: more common household illness of Haemophilus influenza, otitis
media, influenza, mononucleosis, and pneumonia: sexually transmitted diseases
of herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS and hepatitis, accompanied
with an in depth look at the expression of human psychology associated
with these diseases: five of the most common tropical diseases, yellow
fever, typhoid, dengue fever, cholera and malaria providing sufficient
information for prevention and treatment:. The remaining chapters cover
homeopathic prevention and treatment for rabies, tetanus, diphtheria, mumps,
and tuberculosis.

A proof by cure with homeopathy
In this article it is intended to show evidence of the relationship
between vaccination and behavioural problems in children, from mild to
severe (ADHD and autism), through 30 case histories. The evidence is provided
through the use of potentised vaccines. The hypothesis is that if the complaints
disappear or strongly ameliorate with the treatment of the potentised substance
which is supposed to be the cause of the complaints, the proof is delivered
that the particular substance caused the damage. The fact that mild, moderate
and severe cases of behavioural problems, often with concomitant physical
problems, are seen and cured by this method strengthens the evidence of
a causal relationship between vaccinations and behavioural problems. more

Homeopathy
a Good Alternative for Treating Ear Infections
By Laurie Barclay, MD
The applications of homeopathy are widespread -- everything from treating
the common cold to clearing up childhood ear infections. It's this latest
use that caught the attention of a group of West Coast researchers, who
set out to evaluate in a scientific way the many reports of homeopathic
success.
"We set this up as a pilot study, not really expecting to see any positive
effect from homeopathy," says researcher Jennifer Jacobs, MD, MPH, clinical
assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington School
of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle. "We were surprised
that homeopathy decreased symptoms [of middle ear infections] in the first
24 hours of treatment."
The implications are important. Not only did the researchers determine
that individualized homeopathic treatments can give early relief to the
ear pain, fever, and fussiness associated with ear infections, they also
say such treatment could potentially help reduce antibiotic use in children,
something which has been associated with increasing rates of antibiotic
resistance.

Help With Homeopathy - Children and Babies, Pregnancy and Birthing
Remedy Kits
"For the child, homeopathy can help with clingy behavior, difficulties
with sleep, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, fears, shyness,
excessive anger, skin conditions, reactions to vaccines and many other
frequently encountered problems. It is unsurpassed in the treatment of
childhood acute diseases, yielding rapid results in a gentle manner, by
stimulating the child's immune system rather than suppressing it.
During the teen years homeopathy can help with the hormonal changes
of puberty and the acne that often appears at this time, but primarily
it can assist with the emotional upheavals, which frequently occur as little
girls make the transition to womanhood." Deborah
Olenev, C.C.H.
Homeopathic medicine developed much of its popularity in the United
States and Europe because of its success in treating people with cholera,
scarlet fever, yellow fever and other infectious diseases that were ravaging
populations. Homeopathy also provides many valuable medicines in treating
people who suffer from accidents and injuries. When these medicines are
used in conjunction with conventional first aid procedures, the risk of
long-term damage from an injury can be significantly decreased and the
healing process can be noticeably enhanced.

Homeopathy
can be of great assistance when dealing with minor injuries at home or
out in the world. Often an injury is not serious enough to warrant a trip
to the doctor's office. It is a good idea to put together or purchase a

back to over and over again. The kit is recommended for use in self-limiting
conditions and conditions that do not require medical monitoring or diagnosis.

I
own several homeopathic
kits at home and I keep one kit in the clove compartment of my car
for emergencies. I find the cost of the kits to be much more economical
than individual bottles. On average one homeopathic bottle in a kit cost
about US$ 2.35 instead of $9+ for a single individual bottle. I only
use one to three tiny little pellets as a dose when treating myself, my
family or my pets. Unlike allopathic medicine, the size and quantities
of homeopathic pellets make no difference in the therapeutic results. One
pellet, the size of a grain of sugar has the same therapeutic effect as
a pellet the size of a pea. Likewise, twenty pellets have the same therapeutic
effect as one pellet. Avoid exposing your remedies to direct sunlight and
strong odors (cleaners, mint, camphor). Endeavor to refrain from handling
the tablets directly with your fingers--it is better to put the tablet
into the bottle cap and dispense it from there.

A
homoeopath explains how Homoeopathy can help in childbirth
"Homoeopathy can be wonderfully effective during labour, often reducing
the need for drugs and surgical intervention. Every woman's experience
of labour is different and this is why Homoeopathy is particularly suited,
since remedies are prescribed on the whole state, i.e. the emotional and
physical symptoms of each woman.
Homoeopathy can help in many labour situations, often where there is
no medical alternative. For example, the remedy 'Caulophyllum' can strengthen
weak contractions, speeding up an exhausting and lengthy birth. 'Pulsatilla'
is a remedy which can sometimes help turn a breech baby into the correct
position. 'Arnica' can be taken before and after labour to promote healing
and minimise bruising, and often speeds up recovery after a caesarian.
It can also be given to the newborn baby to help cope with the shock of
being born, and again to promote healing. The remedy 'Calendula' can be
taken when there is a very sore birth canal and the possibility of tearing.
It can alleviate the soreness very quickly, and in doing so reduces the
likelihood of tearing. A few drops of 'Calendula' tincture can also be
added to the bath after birth to help heal soreness and wounds quickly.
Many other situations - such as retained placenta, fear, severe pain and
exhaustion - also respond very well to Homoeopathy, often preventing the
need for drugs which may have lasting side effects. Remedies during labour
work rapidly and the effects are felt almost instantaneously. Louise, for
example, became terrified at the beginning of labour - a common reaction
- and was very fearful of losing control, feeling that she was going to
die. The remedy 'Aconite 200c' was given and within minutes her fear dissipated
and she gained the courage to go on. The remedies also worked very quickly
on Joanne, who had very severe labour pains to the point that she was weeping
with them. She wanted someone to take the pain away, and was holding onto
her husband for reassurance. The remedy 'Pulsatilla 200c' was given and
almost instantly the pain subsided together with the weeping, enabling
her to carry on with renewed vigour. more

explanation of how homeopathic remedies work. Next, they've organized the
book by various common ailments - everything from the common cold to poison
ivy. Each ailment section contains easy to use, step by step instructions
for evaluating symptoms and choosing a remedy. Including a handy chart
listing several possible remedies and the various indications for it. You
use these charts to examine both your physical and emotional state and
what makes you feel better or worse. Based upon this information, you choose
the remedy that best fits your symptoms. These charts are effective for
personal treatment or treatment of family and friends. I like to let my
family look at the chart and pick the remedy they think they need.
"After
40 years of pushing antibiotics for any ailment, physicians are now confronting
bacteria that have built defenses against those same drugs. Some infectious
bacteria that were once treatable are stronger and often deadly. The reappearance
of highly infectious bacteria is caused in part by the overuse and misuse
of antibiotics, but the resilience of bacteria also stems from the ingenious
biochemistry of the microorganisms themselves. To survive, microorganisms
and fungi mutate into resistant strains." Morton Walker, D.P.M.

Homeopathy
for Children...Beyond Antibiotics
How many of us have sat at our child’s bedside feeling helpless as
the child suffers with repeated colds, fevers, respiratory complaints,
painful earaches, etc. Not knowing if anything is seriously wrong and wanting
to seek some sort of relief for our child, we may take her to see a medical
doctor. Chances are likely that she will be given an antibiotic, cough
suppressant, a decongestant or maybe you will be told everything is fine
and advised to just give her a dose of acetaminophen to ‘keep the fever
down’. You do as advised, your child recovers only to relapse again shortly
after. Now what? Another round of antibiotics and more drugs?
"Homeopathic treatment will help at all stages of a childhood illness:
with an itchy rash or painful, swollen glands; with an accompanying cough
or sore, sticky eyes; and children usually recover quicker and easier and
without complications. Antibiotic treatment is ineffective for viral infections
(except scarlet fever) and will only add to your child's stress load. Avoid
them during this time and use homeopathic remedies to help stimulate your
child’s inner healer."

Hyperactivity, ADHD, ADD
The homeopathic approach is
growing in popularity as an alternative treatment for hyperactivity in
children. Homeopathy is gaining recognition in the conventional field of
medicine and has been subject to many clinical trials.
"Clinicians using homeopathy for ADHD have reported good results, but
objective evidence has been lacking. Now, a double blind, placebo-controlled
study of 43 children with ADHD shows that homeopathy can be effective in
treating the disorder. In the study, children afflicted with ADHD were
given either a homeopathic treatment or a placebo for ten days, then parents
or caregivers rated the children on the amount of ADHD behavior they displayed.
Those receiving homeopathic medicines showed significantly less ADHD behavior
than those given placebos. When evaluated in a follow-up interview two
months after the study's end, 57% of the children showing improvement with
homeopathy had continued to improve, even though they had discontinued
the homeopathic medicines; twenty-four percent relapsed by the time of
the follow-up; and the remaining 19% continued to experience positive results,
but only while taking the homeopathic medicines." Homeopathy

Homeopathy
for Hyperactivity
by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, N.D., M.S.W.
Hyperactive children are unique, fascinating, and often brilliant children,
but they frequently end up in exceptional student education programming
for learning or behavioral problems. Untreated, some children will outgrow
the condition; others will become hyperactive adults. An increasing number
of families are dissatisfied with stimulant medications, like Ritalin and
Dexedrine, and more parents are seeking deeper answers for their children’s
behavior through natural alternatives. The homeopathic approach to attention
deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD) is very different from that of conventional
medicine. There are over 2000 homeopathic medicines, rather than the small
number of conventional medications used to treat ADD/ADHD. Homeopathy can
offer an effective solution for many children. As an example, let's look
at the case of "Teddy," a nine-year-old. more
An
Alternative to Ritalin: Homeopathy as a Highly Effective Treatment for
ADD
Homeopaths are able to treat ADD effectively in many cases by bringing
the individual into balance.
Homeopaths treat people with ADD, not the ADD itself. For a homeopath,
what needs to be treated is the specific pattern of symptoms which an individual
presents. Only the one homeopathic medicine that specifically matches the
unique symptoms of the individual will allow the person to live in a functional
way.
Each of these individuals included in this book is unique, and it is
that uniqueness that leads to the homeopathic prescription in such a different
way than with conventional medicine. Our clinical experience, presented
in the case studies in this book, as well as the published experience of
other homeopaths, suggests strongly that homeopathy is a useful treatment
for ADD. Homeopaths always take the whole person into account. If the chief
complaint of the person is his inability to sit still, difficulty concentrating,
or other symptoms of ADD, these behaviors would certainly be taken into
account, but in combination with all the person's other symptoms. The homeopath
would note anything unusual about that person. That might include a history
of scarlet fever during childhood, a strong fear of birds, recurrent dreams
of falling out of bed at night and no one coming to the rescue, or a craving
for persimmons. The homeopath sincerely seeks to understand the uniqueness
of the patient. more

A baby’s cry is one of nature’s loudest sounds. At eighty to eighty-five
decibels, it is as loud as an unmuffled truck, not far below the pain threshold!
Some babies cry more than others, those who do cry usually settle down
within three to six months. This is a long time in the life of a new parent!
It is easy to understand how these parents become desperate and frayed
around the edges. Babies have different cries–a grating scream, a constant
whining, a miserable moaning, a shrill wail–which can drive their parents
mad. Some cry more during the day, only really settling when they are being
fed or carried; others cry more at night, waking an unbelievable number
of times. And some poor unfortunate parents have babies that cry day and
night. Learn

Medicine for a Healthier Child : A Practical A-To-Z Reference to Natural
and Conventional Treatments for Infants and Children by Janet Zand
This would be a great gift for new parents - it is a wonderful resource
for parents who want the most information possible when making health care
decisions for their children. It includes everything from more conventional
treatments for illnesses to less conventional methods such as dietary changes

unfamiliar with less conventional treatments - it gives helpful descriptions

Remedies for Colic in Babies
by Miranda Castro, FSHom
Colic in Babies, Every Parents Nightmare. The constant crying of a colicky
baby is heart-rending. It comes at a particularly bad time, when expectations
for enjoying a newborn are cruelly dashed. It can make a new parent feel
distressed and ineffective if nothing seems to help. It is also exhausting
for those parents who find themselves walking the boards day and night
in an attempt to soothe their little ones. Homeopathic treatment can be
a real life saver for these parents at a time when they are concerned to
find some relief for their baby's pain .

Medicine at Home : Natural Remedies for Everyday Ailments and Minor Injuries
by
Maesimund, M.D. Panos, Jane Heimlich
"Of all the homeopathic books written for the general public, this is
one of the most useful. If you've suffered a minor injury, or come down
with a cold, flu or earache, or if you are having an upset stomach, this
book will quickly guide you to the correct remedy. It is easily understood
by the medical layperson, and it will give you solid knowledge of how to
treat yourself and others in a safe, natural way, without the risks, side-effects
and costs of conventional drugs. It goes without saying that any self-help
book, no matter how good, does not replace the care of a medical professional.
If you have a serious or chronic condition, and you think that homeopathy
can help, go see a qualified homeopathic practitioner." an amazon.com reviewer
An Autistic Child and Homeopathy
Max's
Story --- A Carcinosin Cure by Amy L. Lansky, PhD
Most homeopaths come to this great art of healing because of some "conversion"
experience. Typically, some miracle -- large or small -- has alerted them
to the mystery and monumental nature of Hahnemann's discovery. In my own
case, my younger son Max was cured of an "incurable" condition: mild autism.
He began treatment at age 3.5. A year later, none but the most discerning
would suspect that he had had any kind of problem at all. Obviously, this
miracle changed the entire dynamic and potential future of my family. It
also propelled me to alter my career course and devote myself to the study
and promotion of homeopathy.
A
Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies : First Aid for Your Child by
Janet Zand
At first glance this looks like your standard first-aid guide for parents,
but an interesting surprise awaits inside. Yes, there's the standard (and,
in this case well-written and easily accessible) information for dealing
with emergencies, and yes, it's easy to reference. But this is the only
book I've found that deals with what happens once the immediate crisis
has passed. Written by a doctor, a naturopath, and a registered nurse,
A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies includes homeopathic and herbal
recommendations; for example, did you know that after an asthma attack,
licorice tea can help calm and soothe the respiratory tract? An excellent
section on ways to deal with trauma during--and after--a crisis.
Healing Asthma: a Drugless Approach
Conventional drugs used for treating asthma, particularly steroids,
can impair immune function and lead to more serious health problems. Learn
about safe and effective alternative treatments.

Correctly
prescribed homeopathic remedies can often undue the damage caused by vaccines
Homeopathy
is noted for its success to antidote or remove the toxic effects of vaccines
and to re-establish balance in the organism and restore health. Certain
homeopathic remedies can minimize vaccine damage. A professional
homeopath
should be consulted for more information. (If you are
not already familiar with the toxic effects of vaccines click

Homeopathy
in Epidemic Diseases by Dorothy Shepherd
This excellent reference provides vital information for dealing with
infectious diseases. Homeopathy can be used successfully to prevent and
treat measles, whooping cough, chickenpox, and other ailments.
Smallpox
Smallpox vaccine can cause horrific and dangerous reactions (see
pictures). Homeopathy has been successfully used to prevent and
cure smallpox.
On page 576, of “Dose and Potency” by Dr. P.S Rawat, Constantine
Hering, M.D. (1800-1880) is being quoted about the action of
Sarracenia
Purpurea. (the numbers 3, 6, and 9 refer to the potency).
I
strongly recommend that you do not take homeopathic remedies without
consulting with a professional homeopath first. This is not a usual disclaimer.
I really mean it. Shirley
1 A
women far advanced in pregnancy was cured of small-pox with Sarr. 3, 6,
and 9, delivery being happily accomplished during her convalescence, the
infant bearing on its body numerous red blotches, indicating that it has
been affected with the disease.
2. An infant, a few
months old was attacked with a grave form of small-pox, with variolous
angina so severe that it was with difficulty it could take the breast;
the mother took Sarr. 3, 6, and 9, and continue to nurse the infant, which
promptly recovered, the mother not taking the disease.
3. In an epidemic
occurring in the environs of Wavre, Sarr. Was given to two thousand persons
living in the very middle of the disease and coming in constant intercourse
with it, but all who took Sarr. Escaped; during the same epidemic two hundred
cases were treated with Sarr. Without a death” (JHC)
Dr. Pitcairn has
a very good article on variola (smallpox) where Sarracenia is
also mentioned, as well as other homeoapatic remedies for the prevention
and cure of smallpox: "The successful internal application of Malandrinum
as a preventative has been confirmed this season (1880-81), by Dr. R. Straube
and myself." (Dr. H. Boskowitz, of Brooklyn)
HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS (Golden Seal) "The power of Hydrastis internally
and locally over smallpox seen in modifying the disease, abolishing
its distressing symptoms, shortening its course, lessening its danger and
greatly mitigating its consequences (J. J. Garth Wilkinson)."

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT WITH HOMEOPATHY by Jeffrey J. Starre,
M.D.
This excellent book provides homeopathic alternatives to vaccines.
Includes case studies and several remedies for the most common infectious
diseases.
Dr. Smits MD writes:
"Once
the diagnosis of The Post-Vaccination Syndrome (PVS) is considered a simple
and efficient treatment can restore health by giving the vaccinations that
caused the disease in homeopathic potencies. Even severe damage as paralysis,
epilepsy, general decline, etc. can partially or completely be restored."Dr.

Gina Tyler DHOM writes:
"I
have had great results with homeopathic remedies to stop seizures from
vaccines. I've seen it work in front of my eyes within 20 min the seizure
stoped (after 24 hrs, of convulsing) Homeopathy also helps pets suffering
from adverse efects of vaccines"Gina Tyler DHOM practices

"Vaccination in children
and adults can result in a variety of chronic health problems."
Dr.
Tinus Smits MD
The Post-Vaccination Syndrome
Dr.
Tinus Smits MD "Paediatrician Yvonne Pernet has recommended Thuja 30C
to the parents of all the children she has vaccinated for several years.
When she stepped over to the preventive use of potentised vaccines the
difference in the results was indisputable. There were patently fewer side-effects
to vaccination with this novel method. In fact, the energetic level becomes
safeguarded so it can no longer be disturbed by the vaccine. It is as if
the organism is warned of the approaching ‘artificial’ illnesses and can
therefore better maintain its balance. It must be remembered that chronic
complaints can only occur because the deeperlevels
of our energy have been disturbed."Documented
medical case histories ( too technical for lay people)
Homeopathic
Alternative to vaccines Nosodes are homeopathic preparations
made from cultures of microbes and viruses.. The nosode is prepared by
serial dilution. Nosodes are administered in different two basic ways.
In the case of nosodes from bacteria and viruses, the preparation carries
the molecular imprint of the proteins and other constituents of the pathological
agent. The working of the nosode is based on the fact that the immune system
is sensitized to this molecular imprint without being exposed to the virulence
of the living agent. The use of nosodes as a replacement for vaccination
is based on this mechanism.
A nosode from a pathological agent, such as the measles, whooping cough
(pertussis), etc., carries the molecular imprint of the agent and therefore
sensitizes the immune system in such a way as to prepare the body for the
defense against that same pathological agent. This is important in the
case of children's diseases, where a primary infection is necessary to
immunize the child, often for life, at a moment when the baby is highly
vulnerable.
Whether a baby will be immunized with a vaccine or not, the administration
of a nosode for each of the common children's diseases is an ideal way
to start building immunity. Because of the fact that the agent is present
in the nosode as an imprint and not as a virulent entity, it is a safe
and gentle way to sensitize the immune system. It will protect against
shock and serious consequences in the case of infection or vaccination.

A handbook of Homeopathic Alternative
to Immunization
by Susan Curtis BA, MCH, RShom
This book was written as a practical guide to explain what homeopathy
has to offer as alternatives to immunization
Vaccines:
are they really safe and effective? Why are a growing number
of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination?
The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities
attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical
studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible
sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine
safety and effectiveness.
"Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates
rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine
campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply
in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced."

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic 
diseases
such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and
the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic
diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues. Learn

Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government
agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing
to protect American children.
Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana)
during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've
been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from
1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?"
For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what
they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury
compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause
immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

Homeopathy
can be used successfully to prevent and treat smallpox, measles,
whooping
cough, chickenpox, and other ailments.
The U.S. Congress was urged in testimony before the House
Government Reform Committee, Dan Burton (R-Ind.), chairman, full committee
hearing, November 14, 2001, to consider the use of homeopathic medicines
for both viral and bacterial illnesses associated with bioterrorism. In
testimony from Wayne B. Jonas, MD, former director of the Office of Alternative
Medicine at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and current director,
Samueli Institute for Information Biology, Alexandria, Virginia, and associate
professor, department of family medicine, Uniformed Services University
of the Health Sciences, F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine, the panel
learned that: * Homeopathic medicines have a 200-year history of safe and
successful use in epidemic disease of both viral and bacterial origin;
* Homeopathic drugs are recognized by the FDA; * Homeopathic medicines
are generally inexpensive and widely available in the United States. In
addition to their use against infectious disease, homeopathic medicines
are being commonly used for stress related symptoms following trauma.Learn

What if everything you thought you knew about
AIDS was wrong? A growing number of scientists world-wide have
publicly denounced the total failure of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, questioned
the meaning of the "AIDS test", and criticized the use of AZT which has
been proven to be a toxic poison that makes the patient sicker and is actually
the cause of AIDS deaths. The group includes scientists such as Kary Mullis,
who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1993 for inventing the polymerase
