Alternatives to Vaccines?
What are my options? A personal quest.
by Elena Cecchetto DCH, CCH, RSHom(NA)
I had been reading about homeopathy for a little while and knew that Homeopathic Remedies for Immunizations existed (Homeoprophylaxis). I knew that somehow you could use Homeopathic Remedies for protection against targeted infectious diseases. I just didn't know exactly how to do this. My fear of needles (specifically the vaccine dangers) sent me on this quest. So I called a few people to find out if they knew how.
I called my friend’s cousin who had studied Homeopathy. I called a few Homeopaths listed in the yellow pages (yes, back in the days of the yellow pages). I told them what I would like to do and asked if they knew how. I got a few different responses. They all agreed that indeed it is entirely fitting for the system of medicine known as homoeopathy to be able to perform this function. However, they just weren’t exactly sure what to do to accomplish this.
Homeopathy has been well known for its incredible results during epidemics. In the era of the 1912 epidemic, the Homeopathic Remedy called Gelsemium had excellent success rates among the Homeopathic Doctors of the day. Yes, in the early 1900’s, in North America, Homeopaths were considered “Dr.’s” Some fun anecdotes and statistics that stick in my mind describing the use of Homeopathy for epidemics go something like this:
1. One of the earliest tests of the homeopathic system was in the treatment of Typhus Fever (spread by lice) in an 1813 epidemic which followed the devastation of Napoleon's army marching through Germany to attack Russia, followed by their retreat. When the epidemic came through Leipzig as the army pulled back from the east, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, was able to treat 180 cases of Typhus, only losing two (1.11%). This was at a time when the conventional treatments were having a mortality rate of over 30%.
2. Within three years of the Diphtheria outbreak in Broome County, NY from 1862 to 1864, there was a report of an 83.6% mortality rate amongst the conventional medical doctors and a 16.4% mortality rate among the Homeopaths.
3. The May 1921 edition of the Journal of the American Institute for Homeopathy had an article about the use of homeopathy during the Influenza Pandemic of 1918. Dr. T. A. McCann, from Dayton, Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated with conventional medicine had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%.
My quest wasn’t successful and I got the shots to go travelling. Luckily, I had no side effects that I know of, so far. Even better, I spent months reading the Homeopathic literature that I carted around with me and became completely enamored with the Philosophy of Homeopathy.
More than a decade later and I am finally one of the handful of Homeopaths in Vancouver with the level of education and accreditation that gives me the title of “Certified Classical Homeopath”. Even better, I have the opportunity to offer Homeopathic Remedies to target protection for specific infectious diseases. There are various protocols that can be used depending on the disease.
There is a great personal satisfaction that I get when I receive postcards from the travellers who’ve received excellent Homeopathic Care. Imagine going to India without experiencing any gastro-intestinal complaints! Amazing! Fun! That is what travel is meant to be. I am determined to be able to support people in attaining this kind of travel experience.

INDIVIDUALISED HOMEOPATHY EFFECTIVE IN SLEEP DISORDERS
/INDIVIDUALISED HOMEOPATHY EFFECTIVE IN SLEEP DISORDERS An ECCH document published in March this year, entitled ”Sleep well with homeopathy” (1), summarised existing research evidence in homeopathic treatment of sleep disorders. This publication included reference to a study by Naudé et al. (2).
In a recently published letter in the journal “Sleep Medicine Reviews” Cooper and Relton (3) specifically refer to the Naudé publication. The two authors previously published the results of a systematic review of homeopathy for insomnia, where the Naudé publication had not been included (4).
In their systematic review Cooper and Relton had found four double-blind randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing homeopathic medicines (or rather potentized remedies) versus placebo. All four previous studies had used pre-specified remedies (NOT individualized to each individual patient). Cooper and Relton point out that patients in the Naudé trial were prescribed individualized remedies according to their symptom picture. The total number of hours slept per week increased from 35 to 41 in the homeopathy group (p=0.002) from baseline (start of the trial) to week 4, compared to an increase from 34 to 35 hours in the placebo group (not statistically significant change). Homeopathy was therefore better than placebo at 4 weeks (p=0.036). Moreover, patients in the homeopathy group improved according to all 11 out of 11 questions that were asked about their sleep, whereas patients receiving placebo had an initial improvement, but then relapsed.
Cooper and Relton point out that the number of participants was not high in any of the studies they have reviewed (n=26-61), but the methodological quality was higher in the Naudé study compared to the four previous trials. Results are promising and more research of equally high methodological and homeopathic quality should be carried out, with larger patient numbers.

Objective Measures Show Positive Effects of Homeopathic Medicines on Disturbed Sleep
/Objective Measures Show Positive Effects of Homeopathic Medicines on Disturbed Sleep An article published in the respected journal Sleep Medicine shows that two homeopathic medicines known for their impact on sleep patterns in susceptible human subjects, have positive effects as measured by objective measuring procedures called polysomnographic recordings. Polysomnographic recordings involve various sleep study measurements, including monitoring many body functions including brainwaves (EEG), eye movements (EOG), muscle activity or skeletal muscle activation (EMG) and heart rhythm (ECG). While this is is not a study involving individualised patient prescribing it does show the positive effects of two remedies known to have a significant relevance to sleep disturbance and builds on earlier experiments in animals using the same two remedies that produced positive results.

Why Consult a Homeopath?
/Why see a Homeopath? Homeopathy effectively addresses most illnesses that you would traditionally consult your doctor for. Homeopathy addresses your whole emotional, mental and physical system instead of specific symptoms. So when I’m asked what my specialty is, my favorite answer is: My specialty is the person in front of me ! Every person experiences illness in their own unique way. Ever notice that if you and your family get the flu or a cold, each person experiences it differently even if you have similar symptoms. As a homeopathic practitioner, my job is to look at everything that is a concern for you and your well-being. Looking at, and treating your individual symptom picture is what makes homeopathy so effective. This is also why people who feel their sense of well-being is upset do so well with homeopathic support – even if they don’t have an official diagnosis. Below is a list of some of the more common complaints which are effectively treated and managed with homeopathy. Acute Illness
Acute pain (after injuries, surgery)
Flus and colds
Dental work and pain
Infections
Injuries and First aid Chronic Complaints
Chronic pain
Allergies & Hayfever
Depression, grieving
Anxiety, fear, stress
Auto-immune concerns(Celiac disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome [mononucleosis], Multiple sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc.)
Skin problems (Eczema, Psoriasis, Warts, etc.)
Sleep problems Woman’s health concerns
Fertility
Menopause
Menstrual
Pregnancy & childbirth
Yeast infections Men’s health concerns
Heart health
Prostate
Sexual concerns
Urinary Children’s complaints
Behavioral, developmental and neurological disturbances (ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Bedwetting, Shyness, Tantrums, etc.)

High Potency Homeopathic Medicines Affect Cancer Cells
/High Potency Homeopathic Medicines Affect Cancer Cells Hard on the heels of the evidence for the effects of high dilutions published in the current volume of 'Homeopathy (see 25 January news item) comes yet more evidence for the effect of high dilution homeopathic medicines in a study published in the high impact, highly respected 'International Journal of Oncology'. The study reveals that certain high potency homeopathic remedies have preferentially elevated cytotoxic effects on breast adenocarcinoma cells compared with cells derived from normal breast epithelium. The experiments were conducted in triplicate and repeated at least twice in each case of a remedy. The homeopathic medicines tested included: Carcinosin, 30C; Conium maculatum, 3C; Phytolacca decandra, 200C and Thuja occidentalis, 30C The strongest effects were found from Carcinosin and Phytolacca, remedies that are well documented in the homeopathic literature for their beneficial effects in patients with cancer. The researchers concluded, "the ultra-diluted natural homeopathic remedies investigated in this study offer the promise of being effective preventive and/or therapeutic agents for breast cancer and worthy of further study.".

Autism and vaccines, a surprising connection.

By P Daniels Autism and vaccines, a surprising connection. 201105041107.jpg Many question the benefits. (LONDON) - CBS has opened with the questions surrounding vaccination in broadcasting work by Helen Ratajczak. "The article in the Journal of Immunotoxicology is entitled 'Theoretical aspects of autism: Causes--A review.' The author is Helen Ratajczak, surprisingly herself a former senior scientist at a pharmaceutical firm. Ratajczak did what nobody else apparently has bothered to do: she reviewed the body of published science since autism was first described in 1943. Not just one theory suggested by research such as the role of MMR shots, or the mercury preservative thimerosal; but all of them. Ratajczak's article states, in part, that "Documented causes of autism include genetic mutations and/or deletions, viral infections, and encephalitis [brain damage] following vaccination [emphasis added]. Therefore, autism is the result of genetic defects and/or inflammation of the brain." ... A number of independent scientists have said they've been subjected to orchestrated campaigns to discredit them when their research exposed vaccine safety issues, especially if it veered into the topic of autism. We asked Ratajczak how she came to research the controversial topic. She told us that for years while working in the pharmaceutical industry, she was restricted as to what she was allowed to publish. "I'm retired now," she told CBS News. "I can write what I want." ... many government officials and scientists have implied that theories linking vaccines to autism have been disproven, and Ratajczak states that research shows otherwise. Dr. Ratajczak's work has added greatly to the vaccination controversy which continues to grow. The growing controversy, the increasing yet unexplained sicknesses, and the effort to stifle scientists are signs of a failing paradigm. Those promoting vaccines and getting them mandated by law have large financial stake in them, have financial control of health agencies, and there is corruption involved - even around the need for them, even in the science behind the "diseases." Vaccines are being propped up by financial interests and political power but as the side effects they cause (including predictable deaths) mount up, that prop is inadequate to hide a medical reality that vaccines are failing. One need only look at a short list of references on vaccines showing they are causing the diseases they are purported to prevent and are generating additional diseases, to recognize something is fundamentally wrong. At this point, questions are being asked about the faulty science of bypassing the body's immune defense system to inject foreign protein into people, something the body must reject. The body, after vaccination, would be left futilely attacking itself to rid itself of those injected foreign proteins and substances, things that could never have gotten past the body's protective defenses except via insertion by vaccines. This self attack is the definition of autoimmune diseases now at epidemic levels and increasing. Shiv Chopra, microbiologist, vaccine developer and vaccine safety official, describes how vaccines actually violate the laws of biology. Anyone knowing the basics of biology should know: 1. That all vaccines by their very nature are antigens and that every antigen by definition must be a foreign protein or a substance attached to one's own or some other foreign protein; 2. That no foreign protein can be absorbed into the blood stream unless it is digested in the alimentary canal into its basic amino acids; 3. That it is these amino acids which after being absorbed into the blood stream are reconstituted into one's own proteins and it is these proteins which distinguishes every being of existence into self and non-self. 4. That any interference or tampering with these laws of existence can bring calamity to the being in which it occurs such as by causing auto-immune conditions like autism, etc. This is precisely what may be occurring due to vaccine injections in people... The foreign proteins in vaccines originate from not only the infectious organisms against which one wishes to produce infection-fighting antibodies but also the artificial media in which these organisms are grown. Contained in such media may include one or more of the following materials: bovine serum, horse serum, chicken egg, monkey kidney, insect cells and even human fetal cells. Apart from the foreign proteins, vaccines may also contain other harmful substances, including mercury, aluminum, formalin, oily adjuvants, etc., plus untold number of stray viruses with the potential to cause cancer, HIV, serum-hepatitis, and so on. Meanwhile, evidence indicates that except for smallpox, no other infectious disease, e.g.: tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid, anthrax, measles, mumps, rubella, DPT, polio, influenza and others, has been eradicated and that this continues to be so despite the decades of vaccinations against each of these diseases. Also, during the same period, the incidence of many previously uncommon diseases, such as autism, diabetes, allergies, andcancer, has been increasing in pandemic proportions. Vaccines are under serious question now but in fact, they are unnecessary. Overwhelming medical evidence shows there is an effective and entirely safe alternative, thus a far superior treatment for infectious diseases. "Many viral infectious diseases have been cured and can continue to be cured by the proper administration of Vitamin C. Yes, the vaccinations for these treatable infectious diseases are completely unnecessary when one has the access to proper treatment with vitamin C. And, yes, all the side effects of vaccinations...are also completely unnecessary since the vaccinations do not have to be given in the first place with the availability of properly dosed vitamin C."---Dr Thomas Levy M.D., J.D. (Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases and Toxins p30) With vaccines proven to cause damage, deaths and more diseases; with the assumed science behind vaccines actually contradicting the basics of biology; with vaccines being promoted and forced on populations primarily by financial interests and political corruption; what is left of vaccines medically? Given studies over 75 years to back up IV vitamin C cures of the very infectious diseases for which vaccines have been promoted, the logic becomes inescapable - vaccines are medically obsolete.

Musculoskeletal complaints improve with homeopathy
There are millions of people throughout the world enduring mus- culoskeletal complaints which can include rheumatic diseases. Many sufferers find that consulting with a complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner helps in relieving their pain, and may also prevent further occurrences of their problem.
It is interesting to note, since one of the most frequently used CAM therapies is homeopathy, that 23 research studies have been car- ried out to determine the effect of homeopathy for patients suffering from rheumatic and musculoskele- tal complaints, namely rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromy- algia. These trials, which have in- cluded over 2,300 patients in total, have shown positive results for ho- meopathy,overandaboveconven- tional treatment and placebos.

and reduced severity of pain in 87% after six months. In addition, after just three months of treatment, 85% of osteoarthritis sufferers found that they had reduced pain, stiffness and swelling of joints.

There are millions of people throughout the world enduring mus- culoskeletal complaints which can include rheumatic diseases. Many sufferers find that consulting with a complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner helps in relieving their pain, and may also prevent further occurrences of their problem.
It is interesting to note, since one of the most frequently used CAM therapies is homeopathy, that 23 research studies have been car- ried out to determine the effect of homeopathy for patients suffering from rheumatic and musculoskele- tal complaints, namely rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromy- algia. These trials, which have in- cluded over 2,300 patients in total, have shown positive results for ho- meopathy,overandaboveconven- tional treatment and placebos.

[It is] established that homeopathic medicines may work on the principle of nanotechnology.
/Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) have established that homeopathic medicines may work on the principle of nanotechnology. Homeopathy is controversial because medicines in high potencies such as 30c and 200c involve huge dilution factors (1060 and 10400 respectively) which are many orders of magnitude greater than Avogadro’s number, so that theoretically there should be no measurable molecular remnants of the starting materials. Using market samples of metal-derived medicines from reputable manufacturers, scientists at IIT_B have demonstrated for the first time by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and chemical analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the presence of physical entities in these extreme dilutions, in the form of nanoparticles of the starting metals and their aggregates.

Quote on Homeopathic Medicine:
/It is not merely a collection of few medicines but a new Science with a rational philosophy as its base. We require more scientific interest and inquiry into the matter with special stress upon the Indian environments.

Preface
lan Phillips, the author of this booklet, lives and works in the USA. Hence much of his experience and data comes from North America. However, the issues raised by vaccination are global, with implications for citizens of every country.
Each country has different statutory regulations, a different range of vaccinations on offer (e.g. Sweden stopped vaccinating against whooping cough in 1979) and a different philosophy regarding the promotion of each vaccine. Although written from a U.S. perspective, the issues are common to the UK. Vaccination is not compulsory in the UK but there are still huge pressures on parents to have their children vaccinated
and a distinct lack of widely available literature on the adverse effects of vaccination. Vaccination in the UK is still regarded by most health professionals and the public at large as being necessary and beneficial.
We have published this booklet in order to readdress the balance and to make this information available to all. This booklet is produced and distributed at cost for the benefit of all children, everywhere.
