Getting Your Homeopathic House in Order

By Cell Salts, Homeopathy, Immunization, Real Immunity Film Series

So you want to bring more of a homeopathic focus to your family’s health strategy?

Spring is a great time to assess your family’s health strategy and get clear on what needs to be cleaned out and what needs to be added to the picture. When assessing the changes that you want to make in order to get your homeopathic house in order, consider these two questions: What are the big concerns? And what are the first steps?

What Are the Big Concerns?

Depending on where you are at in your health journey or health consciousness, the concerns will be different. Fear mongering has long been the go-to strategy of coercion. We have to be very careful about assessing whether or not what the media is trumping up is a valid concern. It starts with doing research and gathering the facts before we jump on the hysteria train. From there you want to assess your family’s personal susceptibility. If you want help assessing any concerns, schedule a free 15 minute HP appointment with one of our homeopaths who can help you determine a logical plan.

Your concerns may vary depending on the ages of your children,  as well as the state of their health. Having a homeopath on your side for constitutional care is essential when you’re dealing with complex health issues. If your family is relatively healthy, you may want to just consider enrolling in an HP program. The conclusion of Issac Golden’s 20-year study on HP that included 2,342 children was that “HP remedies are non-toxic and safe – free of the side-effects or resulting damage…” Golden’s comprehensive HP program had a 90.4% efficacy against epidemic childhood diseases. The children in his study had lower incidences of both chronic and acute health issues than their counterparts as well.

Older kids considering college will have a different set of concerns. If you’ve already enrolled your kids in an HP program, you may want to consider boosting them. Consider speaking to Brion if you have adolescent-aged kids and you have questions about their immunity, boosting, or what you can do now to prepare their immune systems for college.

Disentangling From the Conventional Health Paradigm

Before one can implement new strategies, it’s important to first disentangle oneself from unhealthy habits and reliances. If your family still uses conventional medicines for dealing with cold and flu symptoms, consider learning to address these acute concerns with homeopathy. Cilla created several online courses that will support you in learning what remedies to have on hand when there are acute needs. For starters you can consider:

Healing Our Relationship with Microbes —If you’re ready to unlearn what you’ve been taught about germs, viruses and bacteria, this is the class for you! A great one for high schoolers, as it exposes the campaigns that skewed the truth about health in favor of Big Pharma and shares how homeopathy spins the “war on microbes” dogma on its head.

 

 

 

 

 

9 Flu Remedies —Learn about the 9 remedies you need to have on hand for colds and flus, as well as the symptom picture that will help guide your home prescribing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Homeopathy and Influenza — This class covers far more than just flu remedies, it provides helpful information about Influenza and offers a homeopathic understanding of the flu and how homeopathy has been used successfully during epidemics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Aid — It’s only a matter of time before you’ll encounter an acute issue that you’ll need to know how to address without suppressive conventional measures. This is an in-depth, two-part class that covers how to use homeopathy for bruises, wounds, pink eye, burns, UTIs, otitis, colic and teething and much more.

 

 

 

 

If your family is looking to replace toxic personal care products, consider Stone and Steal Tallow products. Some favorites are the moisturizing soap, the tallow face cream, and the toothpaste (which includes ground deer & elk antler powder). Use coupon code REALVITALITY to get 10% off your purchase!

If you’re looking for a guide to moving beyond conventional healthcare options, Quest for Real Immunity was created to provide support for families interested in alternative health choices and features experts like Dr. Paul Thomas who share their insightful knowledge.

You are not alone, and once you have watched Quest, consider forming your own group of “Homies” (homeopathy lovers, of course!) and host an Empowerment Group to connect your friends in to this new-found information! When you sign up to lead an Empowerment Group, you get access to Quest for Real Immunity, which you can share with your group members, along with discussion questions and other resources to help guide lively conversations. If you do start an Empowerment Group and you’re looking for others to join you, email us at realimmunityts@gmail.com.  We’d be happy to publish your upcoming class in our newsletter. 

Launching Your New Homeopathic Health Consciousness

While all of the Real Vitality courses briefly cover how to use homeopathy, the first step is to learn the basics and gain a foundation in homeopathic theory. Cilla’s Intro to Homeopathy will have you off and running in no time, by helping you to understand the basic principles of homeopathy as well as how you can get started using it at home. Cell Salts, an off-shoot of homeopathy, are easy to learn—there are only 12—yet safe and effective means of addressing common acute ailments. Many families focus on cell salts as their mainstay “medicine.” 

You’ll want a few helpful books in your library, for reference purposes. Some favorites are Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicines by Danan Ullman, The Complete Homeopathy Handbook by Miranda Castro and Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies by Nigey Lennon. Cilla’s book on HP There Is A Choice is a fabulous resource for those looking to explore HP. You can find a list of all our recommended books here. 

You’ll also need a kit. Our 50 Remedy Kit contains everything you need to get you going to address the top acute ailments. It also comes with a downloadable companion guide addressing dosing and 12 common family ailments that are covered by the remedies in your kit. You will also get FREE access to our virtual Intro to Homeopathy class…It’s basically a package deal giving you everything you need to get started using homeopathy right away!

If you’re interested in getting started with cell salts, our Cell Salt Kit contains all 12 cell salts plus 5-Phos, a combination formula of the 5 Phos remedies for addressing emotional issues, anxiety, nerves, general debility and lack of vitality. Plus, you’ll get an informational download on all the cell salts, a resource for using cell salts in pregnancy and a code for 25% off our Cell Salt class. (We love loading you up with supportive resources!)

Likely the steps you choose to take won’t be in order of how they are laid out here, but regardless of where you start, if you follow these basic guidelines, you’ll be off and running, just like many of our other “Homies” already have, and you’ll have your homeopathic house in order in no time!

Tending to Fertility: A Homeopathic Approach

By Homeopathy, Immunization

Women’s health has long been a hot topic, and women are often caught in the crosshairs of political agendas that cause much confusion when it comes to selecting options with their best interest at heart. As more and more conventional treatment options for reproductive health have fallen under the spotlight of controversy, it is no wonder that many women are confused and seeking alternative options.

One such area of concern is fertility and how to best protect and nurture reproductive health. While infertility has been on the rise for several decades, in 2021, data from the Defense Database (DMED) showed a remarkable increase in fertility issues, including:

  • A 155% increase in birth defects.
  • A 471% increase in female infertility
  • A 350% increase in male infertility

Similar data from VAERS shows an escalation in symptoms related to infertility, including: miscarriage, menstrual disorders, uterine haemorrhage, Caesarean, Preterm Labour, Birth Difficulties, stillbirth, as well as male fertility issues:

Click the graph above to view VAERS report.

 

Many doctors have come forward to study this development and discuss the increase in infertility and “the new injection,” including Dr. Tenpenny, Dr. Northrup and Dr. Craig Turczynsk. These concerns ought to be carefully considered by any woman who plans on having children.

As Cilla discusses in HomeoMama, a virtual class about using homeopathy during pregnancy, birth and postpartum, there are many important factors to consider to promote a healthy pregnancy and birth. Here are a few to consider:

Artificial light. Excessive indoor lighting and screen use, especially in the evening, is can be very disruptive to our hormones. Dr. Northrup has shared about human biocycle disruption often.

Chemicals. From cleaning supplies to makeup, chemicals are abundant in our world. Men and women should both be aware of exposures to chemical exposures, especially fertilizers and pesticides. It is also essential to avoid plastics whenever possible. Avoiding conventional produce and foods is important as well, since links to diets high in nonorganic fruits and vegetables and infertility have long been established.

Medical procedures and prescription drugs. Be aware of side-effects of birth control, NSAIDs and antibiotics that are known to disrupt the gut microbiome, which is linked to infertility. Opt for natural options family planning options whenever possible. Avoid unnecessary medical procedures and do your research.

Infradian rhythm disruptions. Beware of health fads that advocate ketogenic diets, intermittent fasting, and High Intensity workouts and learn to cycle sync your diet and exercise. While beneficial to men, according to functional nutritionist and women’s hormone expert, Alisa Vitti from FloLiving, such practices disrupt the female 28-day hormone cycle (called the Infradian cycle), and have not been proven to benefit women during their fertile years.

There are many steps that can be taken to promote fertility and put you in the optimal position for having a healthy pregnancy. Here are a few to look into:

Eat nutrient dense. Traditional diets, which include liver, butter, raw milk and egg yolks have been proven beneficial to increasing fertility.

Add in essential superfoods. Foods high in healthy fats and iron promote fertility by supplying essential micronutrients, as do Royal Jelly, turmeric, cinnamon and leafy greens.

Consider supplementing hormone-supporting nutrients. B6, magnesium, D3, Iron, Probiotics and Zinc may be important supplements to consider supplementing with if you do not get them in your regular diet.

Consider having a constitutional consult. Constitutional care prior to pregnancy can address miasms, minimizing the potential of passing these down to unborn children.

If you are already pregnant, or planning to be pregnant, you may want to consider taking HomeoMama, our virtual course that offers homeopathic advice for addressing common symptoms during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

First Line Support for Viral Symptoms

By Homeopathy, Infection

Many who have experienced the current virus going around have a similar experience: General malaise quickly sets in, but a myriad of common viral symptoms often flood the system simultaneously. Which symptom does one choose to address first? 

That’s where Real Immunity’s Viral Ally comes in handy. Featuring a combination of 13 common remedies for viral symptoms, taking it as soon as one notices symptoms can help to sort out a case so that the symptom picture clarifies and the remedy that best addresses what is being expressed can be properly selected. 

The newest product in the Real Immunity suite. What to grab when symptoms arise.

With the early onset of viral symptoms, we often have inflammation in many parts of the body. People may experience headache, sore throat, congestion, stomach upset, or other evidence of early viral symptoms.

Homeopaths know that it is important to keep people moving through the phases of healing. Viral Ally helps move symptoms along so that we can get a clearer picture of what is needing to express. From there, the appropriate remedy can be selected with ease. It’s important to keep symptoms moving along so we don’t get stuck in one area and we can have full resolution. Viral Ally seeks to offer support in moving people through healing. It’s an essential first line to have on hand when illness strikes. 

Let’s take Jane’s case as an example of how Viral Ally can be used:
Jane knew something wasn’t right. Her head was pounding, and her eyes ached. She had errands to finish, kids to feed and put to bed and other tasks she couldn’t ignore. She knew she was getting sick, but was just experiencing general malaise and foreboding, so she just continued to push through. She took a dose of Viral Ally before bed, which moved her immune system to express itself more clearly. By the next morning, Jane experienced severe diarrhea and vomiting. Her symptom picture had clarified, with symptoms indicative of Arsenicum album.

How Homeopathy Can Help You

By Homeopathy

Why Homeopathy?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Modern medicine has advanced many times over in the past few decades, more so when you look at the last century. Yet for all these advances, people remain unsatisfied with their treatment. It’s incomplete, and more often than not, come with a host of unwanted and often uncomfortable (or dangerous) side effects. Thankfully, there’s an alternative that offers gentler, more natural solutions.

What Is Homeopathy?

Quite simply, homeopathy is a full system of natural medicine that can be used to treat any person – i.e., any age, including infants and the elderly – as well as both pets and livestock. That’s because each treatment is customized specifically to the individual being treated. It was developed more than 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, and it’s still being used today by more than 500 million people worldwide. It was even used in American hospitals until the mid-1900s, and is approved by the FDA.

How Homeopathy Works

Professional homeopaths are trained and certified to interpret the information shared by the body through energy in order to identify the cause of your symptoms. Utilizing the principle “like treats like,” homeopathic practitioners will match your symptoms to something in nature that causes them. When the correct remedy is used, relief can occur quickly, although it will take longer for chronic ailments. What’s more, homeopathy is curative and doesn’t simply mask your symptoms, the way many prescription medications do.

Why Choose Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a gentle, natural way to heal the body in a way that encourages movement toward vitality and the body’s capability of healing and protecting itself. It’s also a straightforward and affordable process that makes treatments easy to dispense at home. In fact, while you ought to meet with a homeopathic practitioner to guide you, there’s a number of every-day bumps and bruises you can identify and remedy yourself.

Overview of Homeopathy’s Benefits:

  • You’ll receive individualized care and undivided attention from a professional homeopathic practitioner.
  • Homeopathic practitioners can be found worldwide, including regions like Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America.
  • Homeopathy is tried and true through 200 years of practice.
  • It was used in hospitals in the U.S. through the mid-1900s, and it’s still trusted today.
  • It can be used to treat anyone of any age, as well as pets and livestock.
  • It’s completely natural, and naturally supports the body’s ability to heal itself.
  • It can be used to address chronic conditions, including sinusitis, ear infections, asthma, and behavioral complaints.
  • It’s easy to practice some basic homeopathy at home, especially if you take advantage of resources like classes and digital materials.
  • Kits for home care are incredibly affordable, and no prescription is required.
  • Homeopathic remedies do not have side effects, unlike most pharmaceutical medications.
  • Advanced treatments, such as homeoprophylaxis, can protect you and your loved ones from infectious diseases.
  • Relief is felt quickly, and it never masks symptoms.

Homeopathy is a safe, natural alternative for anyone who’s dissatisfied with the treatment they’ve received from traditional, pharmaceutical-driven medicine. Each treatment is unique, because each body is unique, but homeopathic results are always the same – movement toward a healthier life and true vitality.

For more information on the intelligence of the body, read our blog post on the subject. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can use homeopathy to treat yourself or your family, don’t hesitate to book a consultation.

Homeopathy Shines with Influenza

By Homeopathy, Infection

The Spanish Flu of 1918 was no match for homeopathy!

A homeopathic remedy

There’s a safer way to acquire immunity naturally without the risks of vaccination: homeoprophylaxis.

The mortality rate of people treated with traditional medicine and drugs was over 28 percent: those treated by homeopathic physicians had a mortality rate of just 1.05 percent. Homeopathy works!

The body has natural intelligence and the capacity to heal itself. It needs to express symptoms, have discharges, and be supported by natural means such as homeopathy. A runny nose is purging sinus waste products. A cough purges the airway. A fever resets the immune system, eliminates toxins, and restores the bacterial balance thus maturing the immune system. We can often see developmental leaps after a fever.

How Homeopathy Works

Homeopathy is a 200-year-old science of medicine that addresses both acute and chronic conditions. It’s based upon the principle of “like treats like.” If something in nature is capable of causing symptoms, early homeopaths who “proved”  remedies found remedies that addressed those symptoms. To treat homeopathically every symptom of an illness is noted – physical, emotional, and mental – and a remedy is chosen that most closely matches the exact characteristics.

For example: if stung by a bee, you are likely to experience pain, and hot redness with inflammation. Apis mellifica (bee venom) prepared homeopathically can quickly reduce all of these symptoms. It’s safe with no side effects due to the principle of minimum dose.

Minimum dose means the source material is diluted repeatedly until there are no original molecules left. This dilution is then applied to small lactose/sucrose pellets and taken by mouth. The individual’s vital force recognizes the frequency of the source material and sets healing into motion. The immune system then initiates healing naturally, without getting stuck at any stage, or suffering any side effects.

A mother comforts her sick son.

One of the most urgent questions young parents face is how best to cultivate their children’s immunity.

How to Chose & Use a Homeopathic Remedy

Each of the following remedies can be found at most co-op or natural food stores, and will be effective for influenza or flu-like illnesses. For dosing, simply start with a dose each hour for three doses, then give 3 doses per day until symptoms are 70-80% improved. A dose consists of 2-3 pellets of 30c potency.

Don’t touch the pellets with your fingers. Just tap them into the cap of the vial and pop them in the mouth to melt. If no relief after three doses, then re-evaluate symptoms and remedy choice. If you have a peaceful sleep after dosing, this is a good sign that the vital force has recognized the remedy and it’s a good match. You may see a dramatic improvement, or a gradual one. The goal is to support the system so it doesn’t get “stuck” in any phase of the illness, but moves through the stages smoothly. Frequently, the stages are actually shortened with the aid of homeopathic remedies.

Keynotes

Keynotes listed below are the main symptoms in a case. An illness can have many symptoms, so the question to ask is “what one symptom, if removed, would make it possible to feel better? What is most limiting in the case?” That symptom is the leading keynote upon which you should prescribe. Don’t worry if all symptoms listed under the remedy aren’t evident. You need a few strong keynotes to go on, and then consider “modalities.”

Modalities

Modalities are either times of the day when symptoms are better or worse, or what condition or activity reduces the discomfort. Many people will say nothing makes them feel better. In this case, you just observe what they have a desire for. Hot drinks? Cold drinks? Activity? Company? To be left alone? These are all various modalities.

Building Terrain

Influenzinum increases vitality, activating innate immunity towards flu-like illnesses. An excellent study from Brazil (2011. International Journal of High Dilution Res. “Homeopathic medicines for prevention of influenza and acute respiratory tract infections in children:” blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial) concluded that use of homeopathic medicines minimized the number of flu and acute respiratory infection symptomatic episodes in children, was cost-effective, and carried no ill effects, encouraging the homeopathic prophylactic potential to be investigated in further studies.

Choosing a method for flu-like symptoms is a wise choice when your goal is to support real immunity naturally. Purchase Cilla’s preferred Influenzinum product. 

Remedies for Influenza or Flu-Like Symptoms

Aconite, arnica and belladonna pills.

Remedies for flu-like symptoms include Aconitum and Belladonna.

More detailed information on remedies for Influenza and flu symptoms, can be found in the class Homeopathy and Influenza. 

Aconitum

Vitality School

By Homeopathy

What if the tenets of homeopathic thinking were instilled in our children early on? What if instead of learning about germ theory, our children learned about building a strong terrain, the intelligence of life, the importance of expression (vs. suppression), how to be good observers, and that like cures like?

The Real Vitality Team has answered this call—we’ve created a virtual program for kids called Vitality School. Vitality School consists of 6 virtual classe. They have been designed by a certified teacher and homeschool parent.  The recommended age range is 10-15, but these lessons can be adapted to younger students easily and often include coloring pages so younger students can participate in the lessons. 

Many parents have reached out regarding the onslaught of germ theory propaganda that their children are being inundated with. Our new education series for kids, Vitality Classes, seeks to introduce and instill the vitality concepts introduced in the Real Immunity film series. 

Download a free lesson plan outline to get a better idea of what the classes in our program offer. (There are 6 in our program, and you will be sent one class outline.)

Vitality School seeks to build a solid foundation around terrain theory concepts, homeopathy and natural health. Each lesson will contain an instructional video on the topic, lesson plan, multidisciplinary assignments, and supplemental resources for expanding upon concepts learned. 

Here are answers to common questions asked about our Vitality Classes:

Can adults take Vitality Classes?
Absolutely! Adults new to terrain theory and homeopathy can absolutely benefit form these classes.

I have multi-aged students in my household, ages 8-16. Will they all be able to participate in this program.
Yes. We have diversified our activities so that there are options for expanding the lessons to challenge older students, and so that there is less challenging material for younger students. 

Our homeschool co-op would like to participate in these lessons. Do we pay per student?
To make this program more reasonable for coops and families, we charge per family rather than per individual. We trust that this understanding will be respected so that we won’t have to raise our prices. Much time and resources have been committed to the development of this project, and our prices are configured to make the costs for families more than reasonable. You can send each family to this link to purchase. 

Can students complete these classes on their own, or will parents need to assist?
Children under 12 may need some assistance in navigating and printing the materials. If you review and print the assignments in advance, you should be able to set your students up with the class video and materials with minimal parental assistance. Planning time for the basic lesson is less than 30 minutes. 

———————————————————————————-

Learn Together:
If you are interested in extending the concepts learned in our Vitality Classes, you may want to consider leading an Empowerment Group. The Empowerment Group program uses the Real Immunity films to instill terrain theory concepts on a deeper level. The program offers everything needed for a leader to access the film segments and lead a discussion. This program has already been used in homeschool groups across the world.

Homeopathic Solutions for Post-Injection Transmission Syndrome

By Homeopathy, Immunization, Infection

Colleagues and clients from around the world have reached out to inquire about what many seem to be experiencing when in the presence of recently injected individuals.

While there is no conclusion about what could be happening, it’s obvious among practitioners that clients are having symptoms such as headaches, brain fog, and unusual bleeding or menstrual abnormalities. It’s also noted that in the original Pfizer study summary, there are references to the possible shedding of the spike protein through skin to skin contact, or respiratory exposure. So perhaps this is not fueled by imagination.

At Real Immunity we have termed this perplexing phenomenon Post-Injection Transmission Syndrome. (PITS)

The Real Immunity Team has examined the PITS symptoms reported by participants in our recent survey. The symptoms of these participants directly mirror those reported above.

If indeed, we are experiencing some sort of bio-resonance, or perhaps sharing of pheromones, then it makes sense that an energetic intervention could be very helpful.

I have investigated the use of flower essences for immune support. I have used these in my practice and find them to be incredibly effective while being exceptionally gentle. I have identified three essences that could be very helpful. They are Pine, Crabapple, and Yarrow Environmental Solution:

  • Yarrow SF: protective of noxious radiation, pollution, EMF, or residual effects of toxic exposure
  • Pine: supports self-acceptance, forgiveness of self and others, healing process, acceptance
  • Crabapple: associated with being cast out of paradise, physical purification, true evolution/adaptation

Mixed together, these three flower essences can gently support and protect external assaults on the energetic level. Here’s the summary of a study by Jeffrey Cram PhD. reflecting the physiological impact of energy medicine applied with flower essences.

“What’s the Remedy for…” Why You May Be Asking the Wrong Question (To the Wrong Person)

By Homeopathy

We end up trivializing homeopathy when we ask for a remedy for a chronic condition on an online forum. Certified homeopaths go to school for 4-years or more, and study multiple methods for case taking and analysis.  Just some of these methods include Miasmatic, PolyPharmacy, Keynote, Kentian, Hahnemannian, Tautopathy, Sensation, Isopathy, and more. Healing is an art, and not something to put in the hands of someone who calls themselves a homeopath after taking a weekend course!

It is only human to want the easy way out, and with access to information at a click, we’ve developed a bad habit of thinking a quick answer is the right answer. The downside is that it often creates disappointment when we ask “What remedy do I take to cure my ________?” (fill in the blank with any chronic disease)

To understand this concept, we first need to understand the concept of healing.

healing.
the act or process of regaining health

cure.
the eradication of disease or sickness

Healing is a process, and it usually has deep emotional and mental components that can’t be addressed when we ask questions like: “What remedy works for fibromyalgia.” It may be that a remedy or prescription drug can help you feel better for a bit, but it’s only a matter of time before your symptoms return, and often they return with a vengeance after being temporarily suppressed. The absence of symptoms is therefore not the definition of healing.

“In order to heal you must release the emotional patterns that are contributing to your illness.” Dr. Christiane Northrup

In her video titled “How to Heal from Anything,” Dr. Christiane Northrup shares that there is nothing wrong with curing, however it often puts people into “battle mode,” which is not always a conducive approach to healing.

She goes on to say that “while not all diseases can be cured, every disease can be healed.” In other words, if you’re looking for the shortcut, the one remedy that will finally save you, you’re not really understanding the process of healing. Often homeopaths have to peel back layers and layers as they move a patient through the process of healing. Multiple deep-acting remedies are often applied over an expansive period of time. It is not the “quick fix” method. The first remedy gives way to the second remedy, then the next, and gradual movement towards healing takes place.

“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don’t leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.” ― Osho

Beware of anyone who may try to sell you a program to treat something chronic by yourself at home. That’s a major red flag. Healing is not one-size fits all, and you’ll want someone who can work with the unique nuances of your case, and respond attentively to your progress. Here’s where you can find a homeopath with proper credentials: Homeopathicdirectory.com

What things are appropriate to treat yourself?

Any acute issue is appropriate for treating on your own with homeopathy. Acute illnesses are illnesses that are short lived, or have an endpoint. Ear infections, sore throats, coughs, pink eye, colds and flus are all examples of acute illnesses. Most childhood ailments are acute illnesses, which is why a homeopathy kit is one of the greatest gifts one can give to a new parent.

You can gain experience and confidence treating acute minor ailments with homeopathy on your own. The comradery of sharing tips with forum friends for bumps and bruises is supportive and educational. It’s a great idea!

But please exercise caution when you hear recommendations for chronic illnesses. Trivalizing homeopathy with the notion that there is “a remedy” for conditions such as skin conditions, coughs lasting more than a few weeks, or any form of mental illness can be as risky and irresponsible as watching a YouTube to perform cardiac surgery.  Don’t fall prey to the delusion that a temporary cure is actual healing.

Homeoprophylaxis for Fido: Give Your Pup the Gift of Real Immunity

By Homeopathy, Immunization

Just as Homeoprophylaxis (HP) can be used to protect humans from infectious diseases, it can also be used to protect our furry friends.

Not surprising, many of the concerns with conventional immunity products are also an issue when it comes to our pets. The Real Vitality Team consulted with homeopathic veterinarian, Will Falconer, DVM, to discuss some of the problems he has seen in relation to animal shots.

The Real Vitality Puppy HP Program provides your pup with protection against the two most common puppy diseases.

A Dangerous Recommendation

Falconer addresses many of the issues he has witnessed in pets as a result of allopathic care in his online courses and podcasts. One essential take-away is that boosters fail to create an antibody response, making conventional immunity practices unnecessary and ultimately dangerous. Unfortunately, over 80% of veterinarians still recommend booster shots, despite educational efforts of veterinary immunologists. What we’re seeing as a result of these unnecessary recommendations is a huge increase in automimmune diseases, allergies and other chronic illnesses. Our pet’s long-term health is jeopardized. Surprised?

Veterinarians are inundated with messages in school that shots are benign, not unlike what pediatricians are taught. Nothing could be further from the truth. Homeopaths often consider vaccines as obstacles to cure. J. Compton Burnett, M.D. wrote about this back in 1884 when he coined the term “vaccinosis.” It wasn’t until Burnett addressed the history of shots in his patients that he was able to find resolution with homeopathy.

The Research Backs Concern

Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine conducted several studies examining injuries in dogs. Their findings indicated that shots can cause life threatening immune-mediated disease, autoantibodies to many of their own biochemicals revealing that the dog’s immune systems were attacking themselves, resulting in impaired tissue repair and growth. A further concerning fact discovered in the Purdue studies was that injected dogs developed autoantibodies to their own DNA.

The Journal of Veterinary Medicine published an Italian study in August 2003 showing the incidence of cancers at injection sites in dogs. An increased correlation in arthritis, epilepsy, encephalitis, organ failure and allergies are also correlated with pet shots.

Most conventional vets have long-ignored these red flags. While there are many holistic vets, like Falconer, who have in good conscious halted the dangerous practice altogether, even when a vet claims to be natural, they often still harbor insidious beliefs and will attempt to push the toxic agenda. Pet owners beware! 

Rabies and The Law

What about rabies, you may wonder? State laws often mandate the rabies vaccine in order to license your pet, and rabies can indeed be deadly if contracted. Falconer insists that one rabies shot is enough to confer lifelong immunity. In his free online Rabies Short course, you’ll learn more about the rabies disease and its implications for your pet. He also has several free resources available to help owners navigate the legal ramifications of their choices.

HP to the Rescue
You may at this point be thinking: Can’t I confer immunity onto my puppy, against contagious and deadly diseases like Parvo and Distemper, without the scary side-effects? Maybe you’re a pet owner who has experienced the heartbreak and stress of chronic disease resulting from shots and would like a safe alternative?

The Real Immunity Team is now offering a Puppy Homeoprophylaxis Program containing the remedies you need to address the top two canine diseases: Distemper and Parvo.

Upon purchase, you will receive the following:

  • Your Puppy HP Kit

Influenzinum CV30 Survey Results

By Homeopathy, Immunization

View the slideshow presentation of this survey here. (Images below can be viewed more clearly in the slideshow presentation.)

Homeoprophylaxis (HP) is not aimed at treating disease, but instead increases the vitality of the individual, and thus increases innate immunity. In an effort to further explore this safe and natural homeopathic alternative to boosting immunity in defense of contracting illness, I undertook a casual survey based upon self-reporting by recipients of homeoprophylaxis described below.

Objectives

The objectives of this casual observation were to understand how homeoprophylactic influenzinumCV could affect the type, intensity, and duration of symptoms typical of SARS-CoV-2 infections and/or seasonal flu-like illnesses.

Methodology

Methodology included the preparation of vials of influenzinum CV30. They were distributed to the recipients between January 2020 and August 2020. 508 participants then completed a self-administered online survey after administering at least one oral dose of influenzinum CV30. All surveys were completed by the 30th of September 2020, and data was summarized from responses.

Remedy Choice

Selection of the remedy was made in consultation with Dr. Isaac Golden, the world’s leading authority on homeoprophylaxis. Multiple historical strains of influenza plus the inclusion of pneumococcinum to prevent sequelae of respiratory symptoms were determined to be an effective choice. Dr. Golden also recommended that “genus epidemicus” (GE) remedies could be included as determined.

GE remedies are remedies that match the common symptoms in current cases. This can be a moving target. As things mutate, we see different symptoms emerge as more or less prominent, requiring the GE remedies to be adjusted accordingly. The inclusion of GE remedies were included for Cuba and India’s choices for prophylactics, but was not included in InfluenzinumCV. Our preparation was composed of:

Influenza A and B including:

  • A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1) virus 30c
  • A/Moscow/10/99(H3N2) virus 30c
  • B/Sichuan/379/99 virus 30c
  • Bacillinum 30c
  • Pneumococcinum 30c

30c potency was chosen to avoid possible aggravations related to any unknown comorbidities, chronic conditions, or suppressive medications being taken by recipients. The directions given to the recipients were to take one dose in a clean mouth, 5 minutes away from any food. They could take one to four doses a month, depending on exposure. An alternate method would be to dissolve a dose in water, stir, and take a teaspoon of water per dose.

Some dosing variation was dependent upon exposure. If known exposure occurred, for instance family members living in the same home, the recommended dose was three times per week. If individuals had pre-existing chronic conditions, it was recommended that they dose in water and only once a month. And if traveling by air or being in large crowds, it was recommended that they dose prior to flying and once returning home.

Survey questions included were age, symptoms, including fever, nasal congestion, headache, body aches, shortness of breath and fatigue. Additionally, a question included indicating the duration of symptoms, either one to three days, four to seven, eight to 10 or more than 10 days. Were they tested for SARS-CoV-2 infections/ And was that negative or positive?

Findings

Findings included 400 of the 508 participants having no symptoms whatsoever. 108 had some symptoms. Of the 108 that had symptoms, 81 of them had symptoms lasting only one to three days. 15 of them had four to seven days, and then 6 had eight to ten days. And six had more than 10 days. (Figure 1.1)

Figure 1.1

 

109 people tested for COVID out of the group and nine tested positive. 100 tested negative, and nine tested positive. Of those nine that tested positive, four of them had no symptoms whatsoever. Three of them had symptoms for one to three days. And two of them had symptoms for eight to 10 days. No one had symptoms for more than 10 days. (Figure 2.1)

Figure 2.1

In the zero to 10-year-old age group, there were 99 respondents with 25 (25%) of them reporting having symptoms. In the 11 to 18-year-old age group, with 63 respondents, nine of them (under 15%) had symptoms. In the 19 to 29-year-old age group, with 42 respondents, 10 of them had some sort of symptoms. In the 30 to 49-year-old age group with 147 respondents. 37 of them had some symptoms. In the 50 to 64-year-old group, with 91 respondents, 18 had symptoms. And in the 65 and over group, with 66 respondents, only 9 had symptoms. We saw the greatest reporting of symptoms in the 30 to 49-year-old group.

Across the entire group of 109 respondents who experienced any symptoms fever was reported a total of 27 times. Nasal congestion was reported 74 times. Headache was reported 71 times, body aches, 47 times, shortness of breath, 16 times and fatigue, 56 times. The most predominant symptoms were nasal congestion and headache amongst the entire group. If we look at the specific symptoms by age, we see that fever was reported most, in the zero to 10-year-old group, possibly indicating the more robust immune response by children.

Headaches were reported predominantly by the 30 to 49 year-old-group. Body aches, also in the 30 to 49-year-olds. Shortness of breath had virtually no reports between zero and 29 years old, with a few reports between ages 30 and 49, with a few more in the 50 to 64-year-old group. Fatigue was seen most in the 30 to 49-year-old group, and we might be able to conclude that they’re parents of young children, so they’re also the busiest age group that’s losing sleep and most active.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the majority of participants (79%) had no symptoms whatsoever. 21% had mild symptoms. Those symptoms were primarily headache and nasal congestion. The duration of the symptoms were predominantly lasting one to three days for 75% of people. The majority of people using influenzinum CV did not test, even if they experienced symptoms. This may indicate that they had no fear, or anxiety, even though they had a few symptoms. The use of InfluenzinumCV seems to have had a positive effect on enhanced immunity, as evidenced by reduced frequency and shorter duration of symptoms, post administration of InfluenzinumCV, and definitely warrants further investigation.

Considerations to include for future research would be a screening for outliers, and comorbidities.  It would also be helpful to gather information about nutritional supplementation being used, positive known exposures to the illness, gender of respondent, and region of the U.S.

So this is the additional information that I mentioned early that played into consideration. First of all, the risks that are associated with influenza vaccines. This was a recent study done in the 2017/18 flu season. Those who received flu vaccine had a 36% increase risk of being susceptible to all Corona viruses.

Addendum

Throughout the world, other various HP methodologies have also been employed.

  • Some individuals used Oscillococcinum, an over-the-counter homeopathic product from Boron made from heats and liver of fowl. It has been effectively used for many years as a basic preventative during annual flu seasons.
  • The government of India recommended using homeopathic Arsenicum album 30c. The Indian government positively endorses the use of homeoprophylaxis and determined that Arsenicum album would be the most helpful prophylactic based upon repertorization of symptoms. Repertorization is a homeopathic method utilizing different rubrics that reflect predominant symptoms, expressed by a specific infectious disease.  (Figure 3.1)

Figure 3.1

  • Cuba created a ‘combination remedy.’ Within their robust department of natural medicine, and the director of epidemiology within the ministry of public health, Johann Perdomo Delgado, stated, “Sublingual drops of the compound PrevenHo-Vir, prevent different diseases, such as influenza, the common cold, dengue, and emerging viral infections such as this one.”
  • Sponsored by the Cuban Department of Natural Traditional Medicine, Ministry of Public Health, the inclusion criteria were: individuals between 18 and 64 without any respiratory symptoms at the time of administration, excluding anyone allergic to any components. They administered this in a diluted liquid form, with five drops diluted in an additional two ounces of drinking water, administered daily for three consecutive days. Another single dose was administered one week later on day 10. The liquid was retained it in their mouth for five seconds, guaranteeing sublingual contact.
  • Free and Healthy Children International recommended using the homeopathic ‘nosode’ (a remedy prepared from exudate of the disease)
  • Lastly, the ‘genus epidemicus,’ was recommended as well.  This is a curative remedy chosen based on associated common symptoms once the illness is contracted and treated. The genus epidemicus remedy that was determined by a number of homeopathic physicians from hospitals in India, was homeopathic Mercurius.
