Question:

Is there an oral vaccine alternative to the Gardasil Vaccine?

Answer:

No, there is no specific Homeopathic Remedy that can function like the Gardasil Vaccine because the focus of this vaccine is to target cervical cancer.

Homeopathically, the best way to address cervical cancer or the potential for cervical cancer is by getting 'Constitutional' treatment which is what Classical Homeopaths do best. This entails using homeopathic remedies specifically prescribed for the individual according to the many details about the person and their health that the Homeopath will ask about during the first consultation.

Use of the remedy Influenzinum as a flu preventive was 90% effective in a French survey.

Excerpt from FLU: Alternative Treatments and Prevention
by Randall Neustaedter OMD, North Atlantic Books, 2005

In 1998 the French Society of Homeopathy conducted a survey of 23 homeopathic doctors concerning their use of Influenzinum as a flu preventive (Coulamy, 1998). The survey included use of Influenzinum over a 10 year period (1987-1998) in 453 patients. The protocol for the frequency of doses varied considerably among these doctors. Weekly doses were used by 26 percent of participants and monthly dosage by 23 percent. Another 16 percent used a weekly then monthly dosage plan, and 35 percent applied some other dosage protocol. 80 percent of respondents began treatment in the fall (September through November) and ended between February and April. In this French survey 70 percent of participants used a 9C strength of Influenzinum. (In the US one would assume a higher proportion of practitioners use a higher strength because of the different prescribing preferences between the two countries.)

Results of the survey were remarkable. In approximately 90 percent of the cases no instances of the flu occurred when Influenzinum was used preventively no matter what the dosage protocol. Among the physicians the effectiveness was deemed good to very good in 90 percent of the cases. In 5 percent there was no protective effect. Of the patients, 98 percent expressed a desire to take the same preventive treatment the following year. Certainly this confidence in homeopathic prevention among physicians with many years of experience and their patients speaks to the effectiveness of Influenzinum as a flu preventive. It should be noted that a clinical study that approaches statistical significance evaluating the preventive effects of any homeopathic preparation would probably be prohibitively expensive.

symptoms were obtained directly from a significant number of H1N1 confirmed infected patients, homeopathic medicine can be used

Since the outbreak of H1N1, all national and international health organizations, governments and the worldwide population have been concerned about the progress of this disease. We all know that homeopathy offers a good alternative to the standard treatments by university medicine. The LMHI gathered the already documented experience of our Mexican colleagues in the treatment of H1N1 and wants to disseminate this information. In this way The LMHI fulfills its mission to participate actively in maintaining and improving the health of human beings. With this first bulletin on H1N1, LMHI wishes to contribute to the application of homeopathic medicines in this pandemic.

The H1N1 flu is a respiratory infection caused by a strain of influenza virus of the type A, which normally causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The disease affects pigs almost exclusively, however, a new strain of virus, derived, in part from the human influenza virus, and, in part, from the pig influenza virus, has been demonstrated to be transmissible to humans and, worse, from human being to human being. Another concern that has arisen is the serious form of disease and, because of the high mortality rate of this strain of virus and of its capacity to be transmitted between humans, there is the concern that the H1N1 flu could become a global pandemic.

The H1N1 flu epidemic has spread rapidly in the past weeks. The World Health Organization increased the level of global pandemic alert from level 4 to level 5, which means that, even if the majority of the countries has not been affected yet, there are strong signs that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to organize a contingency plan is short. The increase in alert level indicates that the probability of an emergence of a global H1N1 influenza pandemic has grown during the last weeks. It should be noted that there are reports of cases of influenza caused by other viruses which are not the H1N1. They must be distinguished from the epidemic of human influenza as they present different behaviors. The human influenza has a sudden appearance that evolves more quickly toward pneumonia, with severe attack on the general state of the patient. On a parallel level, there are many cases that do not correspond to human influenza, or to seasonal influenza. They represent rather common colds that have no connection with influenza. At present the homeopathic colleagues of Mexico have been able to identify indirectly, by the written reports of doctors in hospitals, the following symptoms:

•Fever
•Proceeded by 40% great chills
•Persistent fever between 38.5 °C (101.3°F) to 39.4 °C (102.9°F) accompanied by fresh diaphoresis on the back, face and neck
•Generalized weakness, adynamia without extreme prostration
•Profuse sweating during fever
•Sore throat
•Severe
•Pain by intake of solid initially and then even liquids
•Scarce cough
•Non painful
•Dry
•In attacks
•Constant arthralgias in the hands, elbows and shoulders at the febrile peak
•Cold Applications amel
•Retroocular headache or eyeballs pain ("My eyes hurt")
•With rest amel
•Occipital and neck headache aggravated by being raised on a pillow
•Some patients with occipital pain of throbbing type
Complications:

•Pneumonia with infiltrated interstitial or multiple pockets
•Productive cough with yellowish expectoration
Between 48 and 72 hours the medical situation has developed or has become complicated. The symptoms are vague and have limited clinic homeopathy application, but, as the symptoms were obtained directly from a significant number of H1N1 confirmed infected patients, homeopathic medicine can be used. Influenza ranks among the category of respiratory diseases, but, in reality, the whole body is disrupted when the person gets sick. In short, people affected are often very sick and are suffering from all or some of the symptoms:

•High fever.
•Headache.
•Clear nasal discharge.
•Sneezing.
•Cough, often becoming severe.
•Severe aches and pains.
•Fatigue for several weeks.
•Sometimes sore throat.
•Extreme exhaustion.
•Fever and pain throughout the body generally last from three to five days, but the cough and fatigue can last for two weeks or more.
•Mexican fever may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Diagnostic Guides
Until now the guidelines that have been given to define a case of Mexican influenza (case definition / swine flu) by CDC (Influenza like/illness ILI) are as follows:

•A confirmed case of influenza A H1NI defines a person with an acute breathing illness with laboratory confirmation of the A H1N1 influenza virus through the following laboratory diagnosis:
1. PCR/RT in real time
2. Viral Culture
•A probable case of infection by influenza A H1NI defines a person with influenza type symptoms
1. Positive for influenza A, but negative for H1 or H3 influenza by PCR/RT
•A suspected case of influenza A defines people who do not meet the criteria at the top and have H1NI negative tests:
1. Healthy person, under the age of 65 years, hospitalized with symptoms similar to the influenza.
2. Lives in a state (country) where no cases of influenza have been confirmed, but has traveled to a state (country) where there are one or more probable cases.
3. Has been in contact in the last 7 days with a person with similar symptoms to the influenza (ILI).

Homeopathic Medicines
Homeopathic medical treatment is individual, but in the face of an epidemic, we can obtain groups of drugs characterized by the peculiarities of the symptoms of the sick.

For this specific epidemic, we have obtained the following remedies for the symptoms found in different patients.

The symptoms listed above are the common symptoms of the disease that, for the homeopathic doctor, serve to show whether or not it is Influenza. However, they are not useful for the prescription of homeopathic medicines. The pattern and the individuality of the symptoms of each patient are what determine the prescription of a homeopathic remedy. We have listed the symptoms for which these remedies have been indicated, without determining an epidemic genius.

The drugs mostly indicated for this epidemic given by homeopathic Mexican doctors are the following:

Scientific Proof How Homeopathic Remedies Work:

Scientific Proof How Homeopathic Remedies Work:

Electromagnetic Signals Are Produced by Aqueous Nanostructures
Derived from Bacterial DNA Sequences

Professor Luc Montagnier is a French virologist and joint recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his co-discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

He and his team of researchers have been doing rigorous experiments using homeopathically prepared biological substances. They have conclusively shown that homeopathically prepared biological substances give off electromagnetic waves and therefore have effects.

The researchers also noted that one experiment found significant effects from dilutions as high as 10(-18) (equivalent to 18X). The EM signature changed with dilution levels but was unaffected by the initial concentration and remained even after the remaining DNA fragments were destroyed by chemical agents. Of additional interest was the researchers’ observation that they observed the SAME results whether their initial concentration of cells were just 10 or 10(9)(this is 10 to the 9th power = 10,000,000,000 cells).

The researchers also quote Italian physicist, E. Del Guidice for positing that water molecules can form long polymers of dipoles associated by hydrogen bonds and that electromagnetic radiations that they emit enable them to avoid decay.

The Alternative Medicine Cabinet: Arnica for Pain Relief

September 17, 2009, 11:52 am
The Alternative Medicine Cabinet: Arnica for Pain Relief
By Anahad O'Connor
Tony Cenicola/The New York Times What alternative remedies belong in your home medicine cabinet?

More than a third of American adults use some form of complementary or alternative medicine, according to a recent government report. Natural remedies have an obvious appeal, but how do you know which ones to choose and whether the claims are backed by science? Today, New York Times “Really?” columnist Anahad O’Connor begins a weekly series exploring the claims and the science behind alternative remedies that you may want to consider for your family medicine cabinet.

The Remedy: Arnica

The Claim: It relieves pain.

The Science: Arnica Montana, a plant native to mountainous areas of Europe and North America, has been used for centuries to treat a variety of pain. Athletes rub it on muscles to soothe soreness and strains, and arthritis sufferers rub it on joints to reduce pain and swelling. It’s believed that the plant contains derivatives of thymol, which seems to have anti-inflammatory effects.

Either way, scientists have found good evidence that it works. One randomized study published in 2007 looked at 204 people with osteoarthritis in their hands and found that an arnica gel preparation worked just as well as daily ibuprofen, and with minimal side effects. Another study of 79 people with arthritis of the knee found that when patients used arnica gel twice daily for three to six weeks, they experienced significant reductions in pain and stiffness and had improved function. Only one person experienced an allergic reaction.

The Risks: Arnica gels or creams can cause allergic reactions in some people, but it is generally safe when used topically. However, it should never be rubbed on broken or damaged skin, and it should only be ingested when in a heavily diluted, homeopathic form.

Insight into Reiki:

When unexpressed or blocked feelings become physicalized as tension within the body, a chronic condition may occur if free expression is withheld for far too long. In the case of suppressed grief, Reiki will root out the cause of the blockage in order to begin the grieving process, making one conscious of their unexpressed pain, and leave one with improved health and a growth in consciousness.

Questions from our "Addressing the Vaccine Dilemma" presentation hosted by the Health Action Network Society on Alternatives to Vaccines:


Q: Are there homeopathic “kits” that can build up our immune systems to “so-called” Swine flu?

A: There is a lot that can be done to build up your immune system for the coming flu season.

Although the Swine flu hysteria is rampant in the news, if you read between the lines, you can see that it looks like the H1N1 epidemic is becoming milder as it goes along. Most people are hardly experiencing any symptoms from it.

To build up your immune system for any cold or flu, not just H1N1, you can start by getting enough rest regularly. We all know that the time that we tend to get sick is when we have been overworking and getting “run down” generally. Next comes getting enough vitamin D. A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that the study participants with the lowest vitamin D levels had an increase in colds, flu, and respiratory problems (http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/169/4/384). 2000IU a day is a conservative amount that has also been found in numerous studies to be linked with lower rates of cancer.

Homeopathically, Influenzinum and Oscillococcinum are good remedies to have on hand if you catch the flu, or if there is an outbreak where you live or work. So is Osha tincture, which is an herbal product. These products do not have the side effects of antivirals like Tamiflu which include: nausea, stomach pain or cramps, neuropsychiatric side effects including inability to think clearly, nightmares, and “strange behavior”, and sleep problems. H1N1 is also gradually developing a strain resistant to Tamiflu as it is being used to treat Swine flu. Resistance to vitamin D, influenzinum, oscillococcinum, and Osha will not happen because they work to boost your immune system and do not interact directly with the virus.

You can also call the office if these measures are not enough for you, and we can individualize a remedy for your particular flu instance.

Questions from our "Addressing the Vaccine Dilemma" presentation hosted by the Health Action Network Society:

Question:
If parent chooses to vaccinate conventionally, can he/she choose to do them later when immune system is mature?

Answer: All choices regarding vaccinations are up to the parents' decisions. Later is fine, however, the rationale behind vaccinations for children is to provide for them during the time when their immune system is still in development, not after it has already matured.

-At what age is this?
Generally 6 to 8 years old.

-Can one do individual diseases instead of combined?
Again, that is within your right to choose, so the answer is yes.

1918 Flu: True History Ignored Homeopathy to the rescue

The Epoch Times

1918 Flu: True History Ignored
Homeopathy to the rescue
By Louise McCoy
Epoch Times Staff Sep 14, 2009

In the fall of 1918, 100 soldiers died daily in Camp Devens, Mass. (Cardcow.com)
History is often presented selectively, with details left out and others augmented to generate a particular emotional response among the public for a desired outcome.

Comparing the current swine flu and its possible effects to the pandemic flu of 1918 is an example. Accounts of people dying within days or even hours upon contracting the 1918 flu are commonly reported today. The authorities are puzzled as to why the flu was so lethal, especially among those between the ages of 20 and 40, instead of the very young and the elderly.

At that time, World War I was coming to an end, and most of the victims in that age group were troops lodged together in camps, ships, or on the battlefield, under stress and in crowded conditions.
The Flu's Origin and Migration

The origin of the 1918 virus remains a mystery even though the virus and its descendants—sometimes linked with birds and pigs—have been exhaustively examined with as much exact science as we have been capable of. [1] Originally, the virus was thought to have come from China, but the true incubators were U.S. military camps, starting in California in December 1917. [2]

The flu then migrated to Fort Funston, Kan., where it appeared in early spring of 1918. The soldiers from that camp were shipped to Europe, where the flu spread. Soldiers coming back to Boston in September brought the flu to nearby Camp Devens, where the mortality rate averaged 100 deaths per day. [3]
Fatality Depends on Location and Treatment

The death toll of ordinary flu epidemics has remained at 1 percent, whereas in 1918, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the death toll averaged 2.5 percent. This average does not take into account different locations and treatments. In some locations in the United States, the mortality rate was 25 to 60 percent.

What were the factors accounting for the wide differences? Ohio, for instance, had 24,000 cases of the flu, with a mortality rate of 28 percent for cases treated by orthodox medicine, whereas 26,000 cases that were treated homeopathically had 1.05 percent mortality.

While some got sick in the comforts of home, our young soldiers were under triple jeopardy. Their immune systems were compromised by many vaccinations; they were treated by the orthodox medicine of the day, and conditions were very crowded in their barracks. [4]

Death usually occurred after bacterial pneumonia. Pneumonia bacteria are frequently lodged in the mouth and throat of people who are well, but in the weakened bodies of the soldiers, the bacteria were able to multiply and invade, causing pneumonia.
Homeopathy to the Rescue

Even with overcrowding, stress, and lack of public-health planning, homeopathic doctors could still successfully apply the principles of natural law: “Let likes be cured by likes.”

The following are some of the examples quoted by Julian Winston in his article, “Influenza—1918: Homeopathy to the Rescue” [5]:

“ ‘In a plant of 8,000 workers, we had only one death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy used; there was no use of either aspirin or vaccination.’ —Frank Wieland, M.D., Chicago.”

“ ‘I did not lose a single case of influenza; my death rate in the pneumonias was 2.1 percent. The salicylates, including aspirin and quinine, were almost the sole standbys of the old school, and it was a common thing to hear them speaking of losing 60 percent of their pneumonias.’—Dudley A. Williams, M.D., Providence, R.I.”

“ ‘Fifteen hundred cases were reported at the Homeopathic Medical Society of the District of Columbia with but 15 deaths. Recoveries in the National Homeopathic Hospital were 100 percent.’—E. F. Sappington, M. D., Philadelphia.”

“ ‘I have treated 1,000 cases of influenza. I have the records to show my work. I have no losses. Please give all credit to homeopathy and none to the Scotch-Irish-American!’—T. A. McCann, M.D., Dayton, Ohio.”

“H. A. Roberts, M.D., was a physician on a troop ship at the time. Another boat pulled alongside to get any spare coffins—its mortality rate was so high. On his return to port, the commander asked Roberts, ‘Used all your coffins?’ To which Roberts, who had been treating his ship with homeopathy, replied, ‘Yes, and lost not one man!’

“In the transport service, I [Roberts] had 81 cases on the way over. All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment. One ship lost 31 on the way.”

Was it the treatment after all that caused most of the fatalities? Homeopathy looks at the body as a microcosm. Each cell is a tiny, complete system. Symptoms are the body’s attempt to detoxify itself. Therefore, temporarily making the symptoms stronger with a homeopathic remedy is healing. Homeopathic remedies are diluted or ground (potentized) to a level beyond our ability to measure the material in molecules.

As the body endeavors to heal itself, crude or hazardous substances may be worse than nothing, especially with the flu.
Orthodox Medical Treatment

The U.S. government recommended the following medications and treatments in 1918:

· Aspirin for reducing fever.
· Calomel, a laxative.
· Seidlitz powder or Epsom salts, two more laxatives.
· Bed rest and warmth. [6]

However, fever is an essential defense against viruses. The practice of giving aspirin for the flu began in November 1918. [7] Was aspirin, then, the medication that suddenly put fatalities over the top?

Calomel, a mercury laxative, has many side effects, such as dehydration, inflammation of the gums, and dental problems, according to “American Physicians in the Nineteenth Century: From Sects to Science” by William G. Rothstein.

Of all the treatments officially recommended in 1918, the best advice was go to bed and keep warm.

There were many people who did not get the flu, including those who cared for flu victims and lost sleep from long hours of work. Shouldn’t we be studying those people to learn what enabled their immune systems to remain strong?

Now the media scares us about another pandemic. Our government may be gearing up for quarantines, enforcements of various kinds, and fines for noncompliance. The hope is that there will be no such heavy-handedness.

Many lessons were learned from 1918 and subsequent flu epidemics. Each of us should keep informed so we can use our wisdom in the face of an onslaught of misinformation and media hype.

Questions from our "Addressing the Vaccine Dilemma" presentation

Questions from our "Addressing the Vaccine Dilemma" presentation hosted by the Health Action Network Society:

Question:
Does Homeopathic Medicine use live viruses?

Answer:
No, there are no live viruses in Homeopathic Medicines. Homeopathic Medicines (Remedies) are processes in a way that make them non toxic with no side effects. This process includes dilution and vigorous shaking repeated many times. The end result is the Homeopathic Remedies that Homeopaths order from the Homeopathic Pharmaceutical companies.

Questions from our "Addressing the Vaccine Dilemma" presentation hosted by the Health Action Network Society:

Question:
How does the makeup of Homeopathic and regular vaccines differ?

Answer:
There are no by products or preservative necessary when preparing the Homeopathic Remedies used for Homeoprophylaxis. When Homeopaths are giving Homeopathic Remedies in this preventative manner, they are only giving one remedy to target one disease at one time.

Insight into Reiki:

"As Reiki allows one to heal from all of ones previous experiences,
even those experiences now hidden from us within the deep inner mind,
issues such as conflict will become far more easier to address. Eventually
this will strengthen ones awareness of their forgotten power of positive
communication, enhancing ones cooperation and understanding in all of
their relationships."
