Homeoprophylaxis & the Public Health Care Campaign – What do you think?

May 2, 2013 by liseb

The folks at HPSolution were thinking aloud and are sharing it with us.

“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 50 children now suffers from an autistic spectrum disorder!*”
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 child
Parent are nervous about fevers but understand fevers are a good and normal part of immunological childhood 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 stimulated 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 results in death, allergies, seizures, etc.

Campaign for Vaccination:

Disease should be feared and avoided at all costs
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?

Teach your children well. The Vaccine Alternative.

Mar 28, 2013 by liseb

200 year old Vaccination Alternative, supports our children through childhood illnesses ,  reduces chronic illness in adulthood and IS SAFE.

Homeoprophylaxis – The Vaccination Alternative

Article written by guest blogger, Lise Battaglia, constitutional homeopath, Bach Flower Essence Practitioner & GAPS educator.

In recent years vaccines have been accused of  damaging children rather than protecting them. Parents are losing faith in standard immunization protocols offered by conventional medicine.

Parents who wish to protect their children from these risks anxiously contend with  school systems that require vaccination of all children. The  philosophical, religious and medical exemptions available to parents are coming under attack and at present do not always guarantee entry into public schools.  Greater numbers of parents are accepting the additional stress and cost of homeschooling their children just to protect them from the risk of FDA approved and state required/recommended vaccinations.

Some of our concerns are :

• Scientific studies suggest the additives to vaccines may be  responsible for allergies, autism and  developmental delays in our children.
• Medical research has discovered that the immature immune systems of children do not produce antibodies – the main argument for vaccinations  as a protection against disease- until sometime between the age of 12-24 months.
• Medical research suggests that immunity is not created by multiple vaccinations because antibody production is compromised by the effect of extensive vaccination.
• Furthermore,  clinical studies are demonstrating that vaccinated children are missing out on important developmental milestones that acute  childhood diseases offer .

We are seeking a safe, healthy solutions that  we can feel safe and confident choosing.

American Homeopaths, Kate Birch and Cilla Whatcott are working to do just that.
Homeoprophylaxis    has been successful in protecting children from childhood illnesses at a better rate than conventional vaccination. It is  a series of homeopathic remedies given at intervals during childhood, similar to the conventionally recommended  vaccination schedule.  These remedies educate the immune system, decreasing the suffering of our children and allow for the essential developmental leaps  which occur as a result of childhood illnesses.
Thanks to Ms. Birch and Ms. Whatcott, homeoprophylaxis is available  in the United States.  Their non profit organization, Free and Healthy Children International is training professional homeopaths throughout the United States and Canada, to administer homeoprophylaxis .

According to Doctor of  Acupuncture and Certified Homeopath, Diderik Finne, 

“Homeoprophylaxis has been used for over a century to prevent disease and cure it. There are two components: short-term and long-term homeoprophylaxis. The former is to prevent the immediate threat of an infection; the latter, to build a healthy immune system that can resist all kinds of disease.”

In the 15 year study conducted by  Isaac Golden, PhD,   involving 1,159 children given homeoprophylaxis against pertussis, pneumococcus, polio, Haemophilus influenzae, meningococcus, and tetanus,  it was discovered that :

1.Homeoprophylaxis was 90% effective in preventing disease. This is a very strong figure, much higher than that of vaccination .
2. The children in the study experienced better general health and fewer chronic ailments than the population as a whole.
3. There were no cases of injury from homeoprophylaxis.
4.Long term effect of Homeoprophylaxis is overall improved, lifelong health.

This notion that lifelong health is improved by allowing children to have childhood diseases seems counter intuitive.  We want to protect our children from all suffering . To consider that the opposite is true  requires faith in the supreme intelligence of the human body.  The  fevers  of  acute childhood illnesses are  something we usually  suppress.  Pediatricians are speaking out against this practice, encouraging parents to support our children through the fever and the childhood illnesses rather than suppressing or avoiding them altogether (vaccination). Homeopathy is effective in supporting us through disease of nearly every type by giving our immune system the molecular information it needs to suffer less and often speed through  illness.  Birch and Whatcott have seen children experience little more than a runny nose during homeoprophylaxis. It is the kind of support that Pediatricians are advocating.
According to Dr. Palevsky, Integrative Pediatrician,  in an interview with Dr. Mercola

“…many of the illnesses that we vaccinate against are actually important illnesses for children so that their immune systems, nervous systems, and brains mature. I learned this back in the 1980s when I was a medical student being taught by physicians who practiced pediatrics in New York since the 1940s. What they said was that the kids in their practice who would get their measles, mumps, chicken pox, rubella, and flu illnesses, if they were left to their own devices, not medicated, and just left to be supported through their illness, after the illness was over, the physician always saw a developmental growth spurt.”

A Swiss study completed in 1995  demonstrated that supporting a child through their acute childhood illnesses without suppressive medication decreases the incidence of cancer in adulthood.  “a history of at least one infectious childhood disease reduced the risk of all  types of cancer (except breast) by 10-30%. Chicken pox was the most effective in reducing risk.” D (Albonico H. U., 1995)

Birch and Whatcott assert that cultivating our innate intelligence may be our best goal for our children.

“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.”

Education it would seem, is a worthy goal.

Annie Appleseed Project, 2013

Mar 27, 2013 by liseb

Annie Appleseed Project
Annual Conference for  Evidence Based & Complimentary Cancer Therapies in West Palm Beach Feb 28-March 2, 1013

In late February I spent 3 days with hundreds of  amazing, tenacious men and women passionately engaged in a  new conversation about Cancer.  We were in  West Palm Beach at the annual  conference of the Annie Appleseed Project.  Ann Fonfa  , cancer survivor and founder wants the conversation to change the cancer healing paradigm.

“From its inception the Annie Appleseed Project decided to Challenge the Existing treatment paradigm, to Question the existing research methods and subjects, and to Propose new directions for both ending with true Integrative Oncology. Thus the program name Cheqpt, designed to bring complementary, alternative therapies to the mainstream as soon as may be, while serving as a place where all ideas are scrutinized.” from www.AnnieAppleseedProject.org

” Evidence Based & Complimentary ” is the category of therapies that usually falls between the cracks. Their results or mode of action  can’t be measured by double blind studies, may not be profit generating , are not patentable, not covered by health insurance are inconvenient in some way or hard to find. Yet, thousands, and in many cases, millions of people are significantly improving their health and increasing their chances of being cancer free.

I am proud and honored to have been a Practitioner during the conference.  Bach Flower Essences are extremely helpful when we face health challenges.  Dozens of visitors consulted with me to learn how the flower essences can help reduce stress, balance emotions and profoundly harmonize the  mind and body, essential for real healing.

We are not limited to  surgery, chemo and radiation treatments. Dozens of 20 and 30 year survivors of Cancer inspired us with their stories. These spokesmen and women for this changing paradigm shared and continue to share on Annie’s website their  successful healing with  detoxification, energy healing, ortho-molecular vitamin therapy, Chinese herbs, Hypothermia therapy,  Chi qong, and Mind Body medicine.

Health is a birthright we must defend everyday.

It gets discouraging-daily our Facebook newsfeeds bring stories of an uncaring and predatory health care system, a food supply that is invaded by GMOs,  news that the conveniences we depend on cause cancer one way or another and the lobbyists for big pharm and conventionally/chemically raised foods fight to make our best efforts illegal. It is challenging and emotional to carry on despite a world that dares us to heal.

Be encouraged.    Healers and  Survivors are speaking out. Access to complimentary treatments is improving.  A paradigm shift is only possible if we shift ourselves. Be brave, be tenacious. Be informed.

Oscillococcinum– can’t spell it, can’t pronounce it. Can’t live without it for colds and flu.

Jan 2, 2013 by liseb

B I L L    C O S B Y    S W E A R S    B Y    HO M E P A T H I C  R E M E D Y     FOR   COLDS   AND    FLU!
“His regimen to fight his cold includes Vitamin C … A secret ingredient to his recovery is Oscillococcinum…. his wife turned him on to alternative health when they moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1960s… But he says he’s trying to spread the gospel of Oscillococcinum. ‘I’ve learned to pronounce Oscillococcinum because so many people don’t know anything about it,’ … ‘If you call people and they say, ‘Oh, man, I’m coming down with…,’ you tell them ‘Go to the drug store and get that box. It’s the only medicine with a lot of S’s and a lot of C’s in the first word. …’ ‘They call back. ‘Did you get it?’ ‘No, I haven’t gone yet.’ They’re wheezing and sneezing and (have a) headache. ‘Here, hang up the phone and go.’ And they still don’t go. Why? ‘Because I don’t know how to pronounce it.’ So it becomes very, very funny and you get frustrated because you know  it’s going to work.’” —

In the News: Anti-depressants and Sedation Under Fire.

Jul 20, 2012 by liseb

In the News: Anti-depressants &  Sedation Under Fire.
The Homeopathic Alternative.

Some facts:

• Depression affects approximately 14 million adults in America today and use of anti-anxiety drugs is soaring.
•  In children as  young a 6 months these toxic and dangerous drugs are being administered.
• Up to 37,000,000 Americans, or one out of every six Americans, most of them women, regularly used emotion controlling medical drugs in 2011.
•  5,000 died from psychoactive drug treatments. 600 to 1,000 were lobotomized, most of them women.
• Antidepressants were the third most common prescription drug taken by Americans of all ages in 2005–2008 and the most frequently used by persons aged 18–44 years .
•  From 1988–1994 through 2005–2008, the rate of antidepressant use in the United States among all ages increased nearly 400%.

This  past week in the news:

• Last week,  ABC news reported about the 18 month old who died from adult doses of sedative given during a teeth cleaning.
• On Tuesday,  Dr. Drew the beloved Addiction specialist on television has been found guilty of accepting over $275,000 to lie about the anti depressant Wellbutrin (also sold as the smoking cessation drug Zyban).

Earlier this year Antidepressants were found not more effective than placebos in treating mild and severe depression’

“Dr Tim Kendall, deputy-director of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Research Unit, said the findings were ‘fantastically important’.A group of experts analysed 47 clinical trials using data released under Freedom of Information rules by the US Food and Drug Administration.The researchers looked at four commonly- used antidepressants and the clinical trials submitted to gain licensing approval. They included antidepressants regularly prescribed in Britain – fluoxetine (Prozac), venlafaxine (Efexor) and paroxetine (Seroxat).They found little evidence of benefit from analysing both unpublished and published data from the drug firms.” (metro.co.uk)

How much evidence  is enough?

We see these facts and yet we still seek the prescription drugs to ease our anxiety, calm our fears and resolve the emotional dis-harmony we have.

I ask, as may you: isn’t this enough to turn us off the drugs, the sedation?

Clearly no.  And why?

 Because people are suffering. The reasons for this overriding free flowing and frightening anxiety is multi-layered. There are vitamins, proper nutrition, EFT, many forms of energy work, psychotherapy and amino acid therapies to support the inner health of those living with depression anxiety and mental illness. There are Bach Flower Essences & Homeopathy.

Can we blame the patient for seeking relief? Of course not. But we can consider alternative paths to relief.

Why we seek  alternatives & why we don’t

Questions we must ask
Speaking for myself my family and my clients: I don’t like suffering and don’t believe in it.  I believe that we can learn through disease, but not that it is the only way. I believe we were born to be well and sometimes becoming well may be the lesson. But being well is the objective. As a people we seem to have lowered our expectations for health. We settle for managing chronic illness. We get a ribbon, join a club and are rewarded by our camaraderie with our fellow suffers. Not because we want to per se, but because we have become accustomed to it.

It has been tiring. We have been beaten down by the private financial interests of a for profit medical system.  Why do we take medicine that is damaging to us?

We are malnourished by an unethical food system whose alliances with government has made the purest food illegal.

How can medicine heal us if we are worse for taking it?

How can we feel nourished while we wonder if the food will kill us?

I wonder if we feel these contradictions on a soul level. Perhaps these are partly responsible for our anxiety

.
There are alternatives.We have choices. We have a huge variety of healing support available to us.

As a homeopath, I NEVER TAKE ANYONE OFF MEDICATION. This bears repeating. I NEVER TAKE ANY ONE OFF MEDICATION. I also never encourage anyone to get off medication.

If I am giving good homeopathic advice and they are following the advice, the client becomes stronger and will need less medication or no medication. Their attending physician or psychologist or psychiatrist will make adjustments if indicated in dosage. For those hoping to ”get off meds” it is a process that must be undertaken with the utmost care.

When we take meds we are ingesting poisons. The toll that these take on us is frightening, but not as much as the mental and emotional realities of panic attacks, depression, & anxiety.

Homeopathic consultations will educate the client in the unpeeling phenomenon of healing from the inside out. Part of this unpeeling will naturally and necessarily address the side effects of the medications.
We do not promise a cure, we do not promise an eradication of illness or symptoms.

There are 4500 remedies in Homeopathy to strengthen our constitutional vitality. When we accept the help of homeopathy or proper nourishment, our bodies are strengthened to heal themselves. The language of the body healing itself is different than that of the one suppressed by conventional care. The headache, in this instance may improve more slowly overtime until there is no recurring headache at all. The negative effects of previous suppressive treatments may be resolved on a deeper level out of site.

The scientific studies demonstrating homeopathy effectiveness in treating depression.

As reported by Dana Ullman in the  Huffington Press in January, this year, there are scientific studies demonstrating homeopathy’s efficacy compared to antidepressant drugs.

“Jonathan Davidson, MD, a professor of psychiatry at Duke University, conducted a small study of adults with major depression, social phobia, or panic disorder. He found that 60% of the patients responded favorably to homeopathic treatment.(9) When one recognizes the considerable safety of homeopathic medicines and the benefits that some patients get from this safer method of treatment, it is remarkable that the majority of psychiatrists and psychologists do not yet refer appropriate patients to homeopaths prior to prescribing powerful conventional drugs for them.”

“A clinical outcome study of interest involved 14 physicians of the United Kingdom’s Faculty of Homeopathy (13 NHS GPs and 3 private practitioners) who treated a wide variety of people with chronic ailments.(10) The outcome scores from 958 individual patient conditions having two or more appointments found that 75.9% experienced a “positive outcome,” 14.7% had no change, and 4.6% experienced deterioration in health. Patients with the highest positive scores (over 50% of patients who self-scored a +2 or +3 on a 7-point Likert scale from -3 to +3) were achieved in the treatment of anxiety, catarrh, colic, cystitis, depression, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, and PMS. A total of 63.6% of patients with depression self-scored a +2 or +3 result from homeopathic treatment.”

Homeopathy is recognized as a safe, viable alternative to antidepressants. Ready to learn more?
