The vaccination controversy is very sticky. But consider these facts dispassionately. It is a well-known fact that ever since mass vaccinations of infants began, there have been endless reports of serious brain, cardiovascular, metabolic disease like diabetes. In fact, the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine has been used to induce encephalomyelitis, which is characterized by brain swelling and hemorrhage in the brain. Indiscriminate vacation has also been incriminated in the increase incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and increased cases of autism.
The Parental Dilemma:
Parents are always in a dilemma. If they do not vaccinate their children and if the children get a disease like polio, they face a lifetime of grief and guilt. There are legal issues that can also accrue. The state may take charge of the children and the parents can face imprisonment in some countries.
On the other hand, vaccination reactions take place within seven days of vaccination and the symptoms can include paralysis, convulsions, nausea, diarrhea, fever, central nervous system disorders, brain inflammation, permanent brain damage and even death of the child.
Homeopaths use Nosodes:
Nosodes belong to those classes of remedies that are prepared from disease products. Many homeopaths use nosodes to try and protect children from illness and these serve as an alternative to immunizations
Some examples of nosodes are:
- Pertussin made from the infected sputum of a case of whooping cough. This nosode is useful in preventing and treating whooping cough.
- The nosode used in Measles Morbillinum.
- In Mumps – Parotidinum.
- In tetanus prevention – Ledum palustre.
Different homeopaths prefer different potencies. But, most use the 200C potency, which act as good homeopathic vaccinations.
Other homeopathic remedies for common childhood infections:
Homeopathy heals in all realms of life including the physical, mental, emotional as well as inherited or genetic weaknesses. It is possible to prevent diseases in homeopathy by giving nosodes. It is also possible to correct and prevent vaccine reactions and prevent many childhood diseases with this marvelous system of alternative therapy.

A Word of Caution:
It is better to consult a competent homeopath before taking an informed decision either for or against immunizing your children. These remedies can be taken individually or found in a formula for a broader therapeutic spectrum against vaccination reactions.
These remedies will cover the broad variety of symptoms associated with vaccination reactions, which include inflammation at the site of vaccination, , swelling, edema, hives, restlessness, sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, headaches, nervous changes, fear and anxiety.
When parents decide to use homeopathy for their children, they have the better of the two worlds. They can be free of fear of getting into legal trouble with the state and they can also give the vaccines, knowing fully well that the use of homeopathy will ward off adverse reactions.
As an allopathic physician who has learnt alternative medicine, I find it very difficult to take a stubborn stand against vaccination. I prefer the middle path. I advise my patients to judiciously immunize their children and then take homeopathic remedies to prevent vaccine reactions.
But, deep in my heart I do believe that we should not unduly tamper with the immune system with indiscriminate vaccination. Naturally occurring diseases confer much better immunity than the immunity conferred by vaccines.

I blindly allowed doctors to vaccinate my child when he was a mere one day old. he continued to receive vaccinations (per doctor’s suggestion) until he was 18 months old. We prcatice natural health and always did. But I chose who I thought to be a hip doctor — someone who understands the ramifications of meds.
I regret the shots. My son began to regress in development immediately after his 18 month shots. I have chosen not to vaccinate and my 3 year old is on a major detox. The fact is that if we raised awareness about creating healthier beings, our children would not even need the shots. But, in a toxic world — we fear the comeback of whoopping cough, polio etc.
when u choose not to vaccinate you join a very outcast type group. and if you are not careful you can get into legal trouble too. People act as if parents who choose not to vaccinate don’t care about their kids — but in fact we care enough to reaserch the consequences.
if any parents out there need someone to talk to about this… or just some support – I am glad to lend an ear. This is a hard decision.
hopefully you get this. My son had a bad reaction to his month mmr. Three weeks ago he had his dpt shot and within 48 hours had fever,
when into shock like state and then had seizure.
I am consumed with guilt right now but I am trying
to intervene with the damage that has done. A homeopathic person told me to start giving him
thuja. Which I started today. I also have contacted early intervention to start him on both speech and occupational therapy. He has not been the same child since. When did you notice any regression and did you have to obtain services to help him. And most importantly how is he doing?
What a heartwrencing thing for a parent to go through. Thomas will no longer be vaccinated.

Hello,
I appreciate the forum. I am a mom of a two year and trying to make the right decisions. Thus far I have chosen not to give any vaccinations. I had always thought that if I decided to do any, I would wait until two years old when she was more developed. Since she is now two, I need to start my education of this subject. Can you please tell me what legal problems there may be from no vaccination?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Cathy,
thanks for reading and sharing! By law, u are not required to vaccinate. it is only strongly suggested. so there are ways around it. usually you van get a medical exemption from your doc that states potential metal poison or threat of metal poison. Thats what I got. my son actually has metal poison. But if you use a pediatrician who believes that immunizations are not necessary, they should have the form. You can also go the religious route — which I know nothing about. but some states have religious exemptions. Each state has different rules. read carefully. I love in Illinois. make sure u get the proper forms filled out and u will be fine.
I did hear that one judge threatened to put many parents in jail who simply neglected to get their kids vaccinated. he saw it as inconsiderate to others and as bad parenting. I will never let my boy get another vaccine unless it is COMPLETELY necessary. don’t let anyone scare u.. just educate yourself on how to build her immunity. its great that u waited because she is much stronger now. My doctor suggest waiting until they are 4. you can view his website here http://www.pathwaysmed.com. he is awesome. he does online appointments if u live out of state. I don’t know where u live.. but if u need exemption he may be able to provide u with it.
let me know if there is anything else I can do for you

Families who choose not to immunize should be quarantined on a remote island somewhere so they don’t present a contagious risk to the sensible people of the world.
well if your a stupid parent who doesnt do research on this type of stuff and like to inject your child with diseases and tons of chemicals and get your children vaccinated then your child wont catch anything if the ones not vaccinated get something.
Well said, Stan. To JT, I want to say, what are you so afraid of? If your children and you are vaccinated, aren’t then you “protected” from all those diseases? What is the risk then posed to you and your children by those not vaccinated? Oh…no…that’s right, I know remember that in a co-worker’s children’s school, there was an outbreak of varicella, her kids, all vaccinated, got sick…the neighbor’s kids, one of those that according to you JT should be quarantined, did not. I guess it’s the other way around….those vaccinated have their immune systems so screwed up that are the ones catching all the diseases and making everybody else around sick.
i’m pregnant with my first child, and am now faced with the decision of whether to get my baby vaccinated. i have not had any vaccinations as my mum decided she didn’t want me to have them, though she is/was quite “alternative” in many ways and i am alot less so, my partner comes from alot more of a “normal” vupbringing and his parents didn’t think twice about giving him the vaccines, but now we face the dillemma of what to do for our own child. though i know it is a very individual choice i am just interested to hear other peoples thouyghts on the subject, as i want to make a fully informed decision either way. i think that one of the main issues/concerns for me is that i don’t wanmt to be outcasted if i choose not to immunise my baby, but i’m interested as to if it is really neccesary more than anything? i simply think it is wrong that so many parents these days don’t fully know what they are doing to their children and blindly let doctors do whatever they want without asking any questions or thinking twice. any body elses thoughts, oppinions or information on the matter would be greatly appreciated as i am so confused!!!!!
