Education

In my on-going search for ways to enhance and protect my children’s immune systems, I have taken many detours. I’m definitely a DIYer at heart, but after much consideration, I chose to enroll my children in Cilla’s homeoprophylaxis (HP) program.

In 2010, when my oldest was 2, I stumbled upon Cilla’s book and I was determined to get my kids going with HP. I knew about homeopathy, have taken many classes, and I figured I was a smart girl and I could figure this out for myself. Despite my good intentions, that never happened. The book sat next to my bed, the remedies I needed were in a shopping cart online, never to be ordered. Each time I got the gusto to place my order, I felt overwhelmed with insecurities and questions.

What if there was a reaction? What if I didn’t stay on schedule? (That was likely, as I discovered I was pregnant with my daughter soon after my initial investigations into HP). I also wasn’t certain I fully understood what I was doing. It became clear that I was really going to need much more education, and confidence to go at it alone. In the meantime, while stammering around, we added another baby to the family (and also several goats), and I was distracted by life enough to put my inquiries on the back burner.

Fast forward to 2018—my children were in public school with a religious exemption. They were previously homeschooled, but for this year, we decided to “try it out.” When New York State cut our experience short by axing religious exemptions at the end of the year, we were faced with a big decision: Get the injections so the children can attend school, or homeschool. We chose to decline the injections, and that decision led me to pick up the HP conversation again. This time, I decided I wanted the support of a homeopath, and I enrolled my children in Cilla’s program. I immediately knew it was the best choice, and I haven’t regretted it for a moment. Here’s why:

Support: New things are often more surmountable with human to human interaction

When I entered the program, not only did I receive an HP kit, I received an education on HP and the immune system. Everyone who enrolls receives a one-on-one session with a certified homeopath. How easy it was to be able to ask the questions I had and get answers that made sense, from a real human! Much different than using a book and trying to meander through the process alone.

Another thing received from the program is a video presentation that shares exactly what you need to know to give the HP remedies to your family. With this video, anyone is able to get started using HP—even beginners who know nothing about homeopathy. Most questions are answered in this video.

Having guidance is beyond valuable. For instance, you may want to rearrange your schedule to take the Tetanus nosode if you are embarking before summertime when children are much more likely to be running around barefoot. Summer will certainly be a lot easier on me as a parent knowing that my often-barefoot kids have another line of defense against tetanus!

The booklet that Cilla distributes is also helpful. More than just education and a bunch of remedies, you’re getting the tried and true schedule on how to dose the remedies, based on Issac Golden’s longitudinal HP study. The booklet leads you through the program, offering a place to record the date you administer the remedies, as well as any response that may occur while undergoing the program. It helps you know how many doses to give and what will be the next remedy on your schedule. It really helps you move through the program with ease. Should you have any concerns, you are able to contact your homeopath to get their feedback: It’s such a relief to not have to go at it alone!

Education: It’s much more dynamic to learn from a professional than to try and learn something from a book or website

Many parents are first called to HP because they think it is accepted by schools. Sadly, it is not. Nor does HP promise titiers. But what I learned through Cilla is that titers don’t equal immunity, and that was a big surprise! Cilla informed me that while shots stimulate the humoral immune response, (where antibody production occurs,) this can cause side effects like inflammatory diseases (yikes!). She explained that the innate arm of the immune system, (often disregarded by many medical professionals and politicians), provides the cell mediated response, which HP addresses. In other words, I learned that antibodies aren’t the gold standard of immunity! No wonder HP doesn’t promise to offer such subpar markers of “immunity!”

Cilla also shared with me that Dr. Isaac Golden, leading expert in HP, studied 3000 children who underwent HP programs and found that they had way fewer illnesses and infections compared to their cohorts who didn’t take the shots or HP. He attributed this to the fact that they received the diseases in an energetic form, thereby gaining all the health benefits of the natural disease with none of the risks.

Our family decided that since we were vested in building and supporting health and wellness that we would definitely partake in the program in order to receive those benefits. With a 91% effective rate with no side effects, it definitely raises many questions as to why HP isn’t recognized as a legitimate alternative. (Note: Many governments, such as India and Cuba do recognize the benefits of HP.)

What others are saying about joining an HP program:

“To work with a practitioner who was supporting my role as a mom and respecting and encouraging my innate knowledge of my child was a game changer. We’ve been so thrilled to have found Cilla and homeoprophylaxis. My children have not yet completed the whole program, but I do feel that I see their systems growing stronger each month with every dose. I had a friend today comment just how healthy my kids always are! Thank you, Cilla for your message, knowledge, and willingness to devote your life to families like ours, we are so grateful!”   – Sarah J.

“Cilla is a professional in every sense of the word. She has been a delight to work with and is very knowledgeable and so helpful in providing guidance and direction with her programs. I appreciate Cilla’s efforts as she strives to help so many that are seeking for great ways to provide immunity for their families!” – Dr Jeff K.
