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 and 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 increased 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.
Aconitum Napellus: This is a grand remedy in the early stage of fever where the fever is associated with fear and anguish of the mind. It relieves physical and mental restlessness.
Apis Mellifica: This is a good remedy for swelling, puffiness, edema, stinging pain, soreness, and intolerance of heat, touchiness and red rosy hue of various body parts. This remedy is also useful in hives and after bee stings.
Chamomilla: This remedy is useful for children with peevishness, restlessness and who have abdominal colic. This remedy is suited for children who are extremely sensitive to pain.
Hypericum Perforatum: This remedy is useful in ameliorating the excessive pain after punctured wounds.
Ledum Palustre: This is considered to be a homeopathic anti-tetanus vaccine. This is a specific remedy for puncture wounds produced by sharp-pointed instruments or bites.
Pulsatilla: This is a great remedy for stuffy cold, where the child is weepy and temperamental.
Silicea: This is a specific remedy for ill effects of vaccinations. The child who requires silicea will lack vital heat and has prostration of the body and the mind.
Thuja Occidentalis: This is another specific remedy for ill effects of vaccinations. It counteracts any adverse skin reactions and diarrhea or brain damage after vaccinations. In addition, it has a specific antibacterial action. It is also useful in neuralgias after immunizations.
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.

Dear Gina, I notice that the post you wrote has been a few years ago so I pray you get this. I am so worried about my son. He is just about 27 months old now. I started noticing that he too is regressing in his development. It hit me that it may be because of his vaccinations and now I’m scared to death. He is not talking at all. Well, all he says is mama and dada and some baby babble and noises. He did say a few words a very long time ago. Also he used to be able to point to different body parts when we would ask him for example I would say where is your hair and he would put his hands on his head. He knew where his feet,ears,nose,tummy and eyes were but now when I ask him he doesn’t do anything. Months ago, he would lay on the floor and play with his cars but he does not do that anymore. He doesn’t play with his toys anymore all he does is throw things. So I am wondering what happened with your son. Is he okay now? Do you have any information that would help me or any tips? I need some help fast, I am so scared for him. Will you please e mail me at cja76@comcast.net if you get this PLEASE. I hope all is well with your son and your family! Thank you, Cheri

Hi Carolyn. my heart goes out to you. I know exactly how u feel. The guilt is natural, but it is NOT your fault. we really don’t hear about this type of reaction.
how long has it been? just 3 weeks? You are doing the right thing by acting quickly. But, by no means should you consider that your son has a specific illness like autism etc. you can prevent him form slipping further with the things that u are doing. There are many dietary things I can recommend and doctors whom I can recommend, but I would need to know more about your son. if you’d like… go ahead and e-mail me personally.
meantime: check out
my son’s regression was gradual (beginning at 12 months) and I don’t blame all of it on the shots. The shots at 18 months triggered something huge. and I do not believe that the MMR contains mercury. (check:ageofautism.com) Its just too much biological material for their little bodies to deal with. my son is 3.5 yrs old and we just finally got him into speech and OT and the public school. Up until now it has been my job to do it all. hopefully you live in a state where the school system works faster.

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.
JT says
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.
Brit says
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.
Veronica says
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!!!!!
Adam says
I just want to know the statistics…
How many vaccinated children develop problems in regards to the vaccination.
How many children who do not get vaccinated develop diseases that they are not protected against.
Why cant they just not use thimersol or mercury in the vaccinations? I dont undestand….
