Homeopathy, a gentle and profound system of medicine, has been used to great effect around the world for the past 200 years. This mysterious vibrational form of medicine works with the infinite intelligence inherent in every individual. It enables one towards cure, rather than further dependency on medication, and works with your system rather than on it.
Movies like The Secret and writings by authors such as Deepak Chopra and others are propelling the mysteries of quantum physics and energy studies into public awareness. Energy awareness and energy medicine is finally being appreciated, if not fully understood, for the science and physics that lie behind it. And now, energy-based medicines such as homeopathy have been taking on a vital place within the community.
Allopathic or conventional medicine (drugs prescribed by medical doctors) generally works with the Law of Opposites, while homeopathic medicine works on the Law of Similars (using remedies that create symptoms in a healthy person that are similar to the disease symptoms in an unhealthy person). Using the Law of Similars allows the stronger vibrational remedy with similar symptoms to match and overtake the weaker disease symptoms, thus guiding the organism naturally back to a state of homeostasis.
Vaccinations are actually based upon the Law of Similars, but the problem is that conventional vaccinations involve material (physical) doses of the strain linked to the disease being vaccinated against, and the dose is injected directly into the bloodstream. It is not filtered by the kidneys and liver or administered in any natural way. This is therefore a shock to the system, possibly resulting in severe reactions and side effects.
The carrying agents and preservatives in medical vaccines also carry a significant risk. Depending on the country, the vaccination may contain acetone, thimerosal (a mercury-derivative and a carcinogen), along with formaldehyde and other substances. There is ample proof that using crude viral material along with continuous injections can set the stage for auto immune disorders.
The Center for Disease Control in the United States reports that “. . . (allopathic) influenza vaccines are still among the least effective immunizing agents available, and this seems to be particularly true for elderly recipients.”
Researchers have now discovered that asthmatic children who receive allopathic vaccinations may experience worse asthma attacks afterward and have found that asthma-related emergency department visits are significantly more likely among children who have received an allopathic flu shot.
With a higher than 90% success rate, homeopathic vaccinations are an attractive and highly effective alternative, although no one system of vaccination can provide a 100% guarantee of protection, due to lifestyle factors and genetic predisposition. Homeopathic vaccines are taken sublingually (under the tongue) and the dosage contains a highly diluted yet potentized amount of the vaccine or remedy. This allows the individual to assimilate the remedy without shock or side effects. It triggers the body's natural defence mechanism which begins to manufacture anti-bodies that in turn will combat the actual flu virus.
HOMEOPATHIC PREVENTION OF THE ‘FLU
- Influenzinum is usually prescribed by homeopathic practitioners during the course of ‘flu season. The dosage is tailored to the individual, based on their constitution.
- Taking 1,000 mg daily of Vitamin C capsules (for adults) will boost one’s immune system. Vitamin C has proven to be a powerful virus fighter. Don’t take high doses of Vitamin C, however, if you are already prone to stone formation.
- Drinking spring water in the amount of half ones body weight but in ounces spread out over the day and adding a pinch of sea salt to meals will also help in flushing out mucus and congestion as well as balancing cell integrity to keep your system healthy on a daily basis. As an example, if you weigh 100 pounds, you need to drink 50 ounces of spring water spread out over the day. It is advisable to increase daily intake very slowly until the kidneys have had a chance to catch up. As well, never drink a litre or more of water at one sitting. Water needs to be spaced out during the day. And every cup of coffee or alcoholic drink would have to be replaced by an additional glass of water.
HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ‘FLU
Homeopathy works beautifully if you have already contracted influenza. The remedy prescribed is one that is the best match to an individual’s precise set of symptoms. There are many effective remedies such as Gelsemium for the classic ‘flu when the weather changes. However, as there are many variations between patients, for best results it’s recommended to see a classical homeopath who will prescribe the remedy based on the full symptom picture. As well, continued homeopathic treatment and prophylaxis (prevention) can raise your defences naturally, leading to less susceptibility and a healthier overall system over the years.
There are two over-the-counter homeopathic kits which are great to keep in your home health kit: Homeocoksinum or Oscillococcinum. They match the general symptoms of the flu: aching, fever, headache, stiffness, shivers, cough, runny nose and congestion. Both are found in pharmacies and health stores. Extracted, highly diluted and potentized from Muscovy duck heart and liver, they have been proven to cut the ‘flu short and lessen the symptom intensity if taken within the first 48 hours of flu symptoms.
Dose: The contents of half a tube under the tongue, then repeat two to three times, 8 hours apart (so 1.5-2 tubes to be taken in total). Repeat the next day. For children with nasal symptoms during the ‘flu, use a natural nasal spray containing sea water, such as HydraSense mist. A 2008 study in the Czech republic showed a significant improvement in ‘flu nasal symptoms for children using such a spray.
Take 1,000 mg of Vitamin C every waking hour for the first 2 days (or until loose bowels are experienced), then wean down to 1,000 mg daily.
WHERE TO FIND HOMEOPATHIC ‘FLU VACCINES
Most homeopaths offer ‘flu vaccines (along with travel and childhood disease vaccines). Look for a classical homeopath in your area and consider treating your family yearly.
