Vaccines…
the word alone stirs the social tension in the atmosphere. For some there is no questioning their efficacy and the social negligence of opting out; for some who have grown up vaccine-free it seems like an inalienable right to make your own choice regarding the issue altogether. Nevertheless, this topic sets a highly contrasted mood that can be blended into a much less intimidating shade of gray with reliable alternatives and research to support it!
As responsible and educated health consumers it is crucial now more than ever to understand what our options, social obligations and safety measures include with the rapidly changing regulations around vaccines and vaccine exemption within our local communities and education system.
From the homeopathic perspective homeopathic remedies can help prepare, soften the impact and provide adequate support for proper detoxification of all the harmful additives from conventional vaccine measures.
To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate:
Simplifying the matter somewhat to present an unbiased viewpoint, it’s a common misunderstanding that we only have two options:
Choice A. TO VACCINATE: When your child is vaccinated following the CDC recommended vaccine schedule, they will receive immunity to roughly 14 diseases by the age of two in as many as 18 shots if using combination vaccines, or as many as 26 shots if using individual antigens.
Choice B. OPT OUT: It’s become a popular phenomenon to delay or stagger the conventional vaccine schedule until a child’s immune system is more developed and equip to handle the adjuvants in each vaccine as well as the antigen itself. Many families feel more comfortable observing how their child responds to each vaccine and to remain watchful for any unusual effects.
Choice C. HOMEOPROPHYLAXIS: Homeopathic remedies have been used as a reliable alternative to inoculation altogether AND/OR support those who choose to stagger and delay conventional inoculation practices to eliminate/reduce any possibilities of vaccine side effects, or damage whatsoever.
Homeoprophylaxis:
or HP for short has been well utilized for centuries in India, Brazil, Australia, Europe, Africa, Cuba and elsewhere as both short-term prevention during epidemic disease outbreaks as well as long-term prevention of childhood and contagious diseases.
HP is a natural, non-toxic method of disease prevention to reduce susceptibility and manage illnesses more effectively in the event that it is contracted.
Mindfully Vaccinating:
Now that we know there are alternative solutions we have even more personal responsibility and an obligation to protect our family and community. Homeoprophyalxis provides us with arguably the same disease protection (referenced in Part 2) as the conventional approach; however, given the current socio-political climate I do not recommend opting out entirely. Instead I often recommend working with the current system we have in place; delaying vaccines and designing a homeopathic program to mitigate and side effects or associated risks. If you are part of the holistic-minded community, and chances you are – if you are reading this, then you may have experienced first hand the damaging effects of vaccines within your family or know friends who have.
You have every reason to proceed cautiously, but I advise not letting that lead to avoidance altogether. Homeoprophyalxis is re-emerging at a crucial time with disease outbreaks not far from us all. Vaccinate mindfully, with homeopathy.
Frank has worked extensively in the mental health field as a homeopath, biofeedback and neurofeedback specialist. He facilitates a deep connection to well-being integrating unresolved trauma and through his practice supports individuals in moving from contraction to expansion, from limitation to freedom.
Soon after Frank began studying Homeopathy he contracted Lymes Disease. Having no health insurance at the time became a blessing because he very quickly learned to test and rely on homeopathy as the effective alternative medical practice it is. After becoming symptom free, Frank practiced Biofeedback and Neurofeedback therapy for 5+ years at the The Gedroic Medical Institute in Morristown, NJ and the Psychiatry Center in Clifton, NJ where he treated individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, psychological disorders, Lymes disease, and various physical conditions like IBS, Asthma, etc.
Now practicing in Bloomfield, NJ he uses homeopathic medicine to resolve recurring ailments and long-standing conditions by addressing the underlying root cause of unwellness that manifests as a seemingly unrelated complex of mental, emotional, or physical symptoms. In his biofeedback & reiki practice he supports individuals in developing the skills to mindfully manage stress, nourish the self and break unconscious patterns.
