Getting Your Homeopathic House in Order

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 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.

How Homeopathy Can Help You

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.

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

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.

Homeopathy, Homeoprophylaxis, Immunization

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

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. 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.

Pictured is Cilla’s dog, Nanny, when she was a pup.

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?

Real Vitality is now offering a Homeoprophylaxis programs for dogs and casts. 

Upon purchase, you will receive the following:

  • Your Puppy/Cat HP Kit
  • Directions on how to administer doses

When the Shortcut Becomes the Detour

“Short cuts make long delays.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I’d like to share with you a story that has become rather commonplace in my practice, one that is an example of an alarming situation many of my homeopathic colleagues face.

Meet Diane, a 43-year-old woman who came to me with a laundry list of symptoms, but worse than that, a laundry list of remedies she has been on (many of which she takes daily) for the past 18 months. Diane’s symptoms, although complex, weren’t as overwhelming and painstaking as the sorting out process that we underwent when she first came to me.

After years of practicing allopathic homeopathy and taking a handful of remedies for her chronic issues, Diane sought constitutional care in hopes of finally resolving her on-going issues.

Diane’s symptoms, although complex, weren’t as overwhelming and painstaking as the sorting out process we underwent, as Diane was on 9 self-prescribed remedies after having taken a home-study course on homeopathy.

Before we go into the issues that can result from self-prescribing or taking multiple remedies at one time, it is important to note that for acute situations, (ailments and complaints that are short-lasting) homeopathy is often successfully employed by self-taught individuals, and this is generally accepted since detrimental effects are far less likely to occur. Many parents have effectively used homeopathy to address teething, cold and flu symptoms, ear aches and other common acute childhood ailments. However, when it comes to chronic, long-term issues, take caution when gathering information from blogs or online materials and forums; chronic cases are often more complex and require a consult with a certified homeopath.

There are many reasons why classically trained homeopaths recommend against taking more than one remedy at a time. The conundrum in Diane’s case was not so much the symptom picture that was presenting, but the significant amount of energy required to educate her on why taking more than one remedy at a time could potentially delay the healing process. It took several conversations for her to finally grasp that the way she was using homeopathy previously was more of an allopathic approach and didn’t follow the same set of guidelines that classical homeopaths are trained to evaluate cases and progress with.

Let’s examine some of the issues that arise with allopathic homeopathy. For starters, sorting out a case like Diane’s requires patience that most individuals drawn to the practice of multiple remedy taking frankly aren’t often very excited about. The homeopath needs not only to take the case, but to sort out whether any of the remedies being taken are helping or causing issues. It is essential to identify any potential aggravations occurring, as well as any healing crises that may be caused by one of the many remedies.

From Homeopath, George Vithoulkas’ The Science of Homeopathy, “The practice of giving combinations of remedies obviously violates all of the fundamental laws of homeopathy—and common sense as well…Such practice can only create complete chaos, and indeed some of the most pitiable cases in homeopathic practice are those who have undergone years of such chaotic treatment. The defense mechanism of such patients is so disturbed that it is often completely impossible to restore their health to even the level prior to such prescribing, let alone bring about a cure.”

I say all of this because it has become regular practice for some homeopaths to prescribe multiple remedies, or for students of such homeopaths to take matters into their own hands and self-prescribe multiple remedies, only to realize many months into this practice, as Diane did, that they are not making appropriate gains in their healing, or worse, that they are being detrimentally affected. Still others find that they are dependent upon their daily intake of remedies to feel normal, pointing to the remedies acting suppressively.

When enlisting the help of a classical homeopath, it is essential that people who have taken multiple remedies in the past realize that their treatment will look very different compared to what they were used to, as only one remedy will be given at a time. The case will need to be reexamined after the initial remedy prescription and a new remedy is often selected at that time. It is often necessary that a client wait a period of time after going off their multiple-remedy schedule before starting their constitutional remedy.

What is often thought to be the inexpensive and quick route to healing with homeopathy has become something that many are finding is quite the opposite: a painstakingly long route to regaining health that can often require long-term care from a classically trained homeopath. Before you are deluded into allopathic homeopathy, that can have detrimental effects to overall vitality, consider making an appointment with a classical homeopath to determine if homeopathy is right for you.

Selecting Kali Salt Remedies

Having a familiarity with the Kali salt remedies is especially helpful when selecting a remedy when there is mucous production involved.

In her class, Kali Salts, Cilla explains some of the keynotes of the Kali personality. She explains that often Kali-types are rigid in their principles, and are strongly family-oriented individuals who tend to suppress their sensations. They often thrive with routines and can be controlling and fearful as well. Often stomach symptoms can be expressed due to stress and suppressed fears.

Knowing the Kali-Constitutional type can help one determine if a Kali-remedy would be helpful in an acute case.

Like many of the mineral remedies, pressure can be a keynote seen when taking the case of a Kali-constitution. Interesting enough, many of the aggravations experienced by Kali types can come up between 2am-4am because this is when their guards are down enough to allow them to be evoked through the subconscious.

Cilla does an analysis of various Kali-types, sharing a description of the Kali-ars, Kali-phos, Kali-brom and Kali-sulph attributes.

This is a great class for those interested in learning more about this interesting mineral constitutional type, as well as the layperson interested in becoming more attuned with selecting remedies to address symptoms related to mucous production, including sinus infections, white or yellow discharges, menstrual discharges, coughs and more.

To learn more about Kali salt remedies and constitutional types, check out Cilla’s online Kali Salt class.

Learn to Think About the Flu Homeopathically

Wondering if you may have the flu? Want to be prepared in case your family does come down with the flu? You’ve come to the right place.

In Cilla’s online class Nine Remedies for the Flu, she shares a brief, yet impactful history of the use of homeopathy versus conventional methods for various flus. As you may have guessed, homeopathy came through with flying colors in several cases with unprecedented results. Frequently, the conventional treatment for influenza actually caused severe side effects, as in the case of the 1918 Spanish flu when Aspirin was employed to lower fevers and it simply drove the illness to the lungs.

Be prepared for flus and viruses with homeopathic knowledge! These nine remedies will help you manage whatever comes your way in the most gentle and natural way. The practical tips will prepare you to use nine remedies for fevers, vomiting, aches, pains, and more. Ideal for the mom who wants applicable knowledge to use with her family right away.

Most Real Immunity followers are already familiar with the Health Helix, Cilla’s visual explanation of how illness, when suppressed, can be driven deeper into the body. The Health Helix presents a visual explanation of the damage conventional drugs and suppressed symptoms can cause by giving many examples, like how the use of cortisone cream actually is correlated with later onset of asthma as benign skin issues such as eczema are driven deeper into the body. 

Cilla starts the class by making an important distinction regarding the flu: Often what we think is the flu is a different virus or illness, but regardless of the cause, flu-like symptoms: fever, headache, lack of energy, sore throat, runny nose, and body aches can be addressed with homeopathic medicines. Cilla reviews nine remedies for the flu (or flu-like symptoms), including physical and emotional indications for the use of each. In the class she discusses how to distinguish flu symptoms from flu-like viral symptoms as well.

This class is so much more than a list of remedies though. There’s quite a bit of homeopathic theory as well. Cilla shares how mainstream thinking regarding viruses is shortsighted for various reasons. One reason is because our bodies are mostly comprised of bacteria, viruses and parasites: four pounds of such materials on average. She names the many viruses that most humans have riding along with them and shares that usually there is nothing at all wrong with these viruses lying latent in our bodies “as long as we just live in a balanced state.” She further shares that viruses, in fact, are essential for human evolution.

To better understand how homeopathy can benefit and address flu symptoms, Cilla addresses many of the misunderstandings regarding the immune system and the flu shot. She shares that herd immunity can only happen when one acquires a disease naturally, which creates a cell-mediated immune response. It’s important to note that injections do not create a cell-mediated response, instead, as Cilla explains in her class, they artificially elevate antibody production (which compromises general immunity). Cilla shares research that shows the increased risk of respiratory viruses associated with the flu shot. Antibody production is not the gold standard for immunity.

Furthermore, Cilla warns that vaccines are often recommended for individuals who are actually at greatest risk of suffering a side-effect from the injection. She shares the many issues associated with flu shots in pregnant women, and how injections after age 50 are associated with neurological damage.

Another misconception that Cilla rebukes is that fevers are problematic. She shares why it is important to support a fever, how to support a fever and issues related to suppressing fevers. Fevers are simply another way the body discharges symptoms, and we never want to suppress such discharges. She offers information on how to support the flu and fevers using cell salts as well. By supporting the discharge process of flu symptoms with homeopathic remedies recommended in this class, Cilla shares that she has often seen lengthy flu symptoms truncated from two weeks to a few days. She shares a story of how she used Bryonia, when indicated for her flu-like symptoms and within hours she was back to normal.

Cilla ends the class by offering suggestions on how to homeopathically address flu symptoms. Learn more here.

Intro to Homeopathy: The Perfect Starting Point

So you are interested in homeopathy, but you would like to learn more about what it is and how it is used? Over 500 million people around the world use homeopathy. Here are just some reasons to learn more about this amazing medicine:

  • Homeopathy offers a safe way of addressing your children’s health concerns
  • Homeopathy is an option for individuals who have not found help from conventional and natural health modalities
  • Homeopathy is inexpensive and FDA regulated

If you’ve been considering learning more about homeopathy, Cilla’s class, Intro to Homeopathy, is an excellent starting point. If you have already delved into the study of practical homeopathy, but want to know how it differs from classical homeopathy (and whether or not it is safe), you should also consider this class. 

Interestingly enough, homeopathy has appealed to intelligent and well-educated individuals for decades. As we learn in Intro to Homeopathy, homeopathy isn’t simply a medicine, it is a discipline and a way of thinking about health that far surpasses the limited viewpoints of conventional medical thought. Let’s start by highlighting some of the viewpoints this class presents:

Health and Adaptability:

Ever hear a mom brag that her child is “never sick?” Western society is guilty of exalting this idea that constant equals health. In Intro to Homeopathy, Cilla dives into the topic of wellness and how health is all about adaptability. Health is demonstrated by an immune system that is capable of rebounding after an illness. Regulation of the immune system is essential to health and only taught through a process of moving through the stages of an illness back to health. A homeopath looks for symptoms that point to a lag in physical, emotional or mental adaptability and assigns a remedy that addresses those areas.

Herring’s Law of Cure:

Unlike conventional medicine that seeks to suppress symptoms, homeopathy is all about listening to what our symptoms are saying! Through the course of homeopathic treatment, a homeopath tunes in to the symptoms presenting in order to determine a remedy and track progress towards health. In Intro to Homeopathy, Cilla describes Herring’s Law of Cure, and how this law helps us to determine one’s state of health as well as the healing process.

Three Principles of Homeopathy:

In order to define what homeopathy is, one must first understand the three distinguishing principles of homeopathy: The Law of Similars, which describes how like cures like; The Law of Totality, which says that a remedy is prescribed based on its expression through the entire organism; and finally, The Law of Minimal Dose, which says that only the smallest amount of medicine that initiates a healing should be given.

Ready to learn more about homeopathy or interested in sharing homeopathy with your family? Intro to Homeopathy is a fantastic class for homeschooling families! This is also a great class if you are someone who struggles to have a confident answer to the question what is homeopathy? 

If you’ve already taken Intro to Homeopathy and you’re looking for your next steps, check out the Health Helix. This class delves even deeper into the what health and adaptability look like.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know: Your HP Questions Answered

I love curiosity. It reflects an open mind, a desire to grow, and a spirit of self-reliance. In the current climate, more and more people are seeking accurate information about homeoprophylaxis (HP)– What it is? How does it work? Is it safe?

Parents: For further reading and information, see the resources listed at the bottom of the page.

Here are some of the most common questions and answers the Real Vitality Team has fielded. Find out how HP can benefit children that have already been gone the conventional medicine route, how it can be used for those traveling to foreign countries and for college students, how it is safe and does not shed, and how studies have shown that it provides better long-term health outcomes, and more: 

I’ve been hearing this word, homeoprophylaxis, more and more. What exactly is it?

Homeoprophylaxis, also called HP, is the use of highly diluted substances for the purpose of building terrain in a gentle, non-toxic way.  These are completely natural; contain no foreign cells, no antibiotics, no preservatives, no adjuvants, and no chemicals of any kind. We are not permitted to make claims that HP treats, prevents or cures disease. 

My doctor says there is no proof that HP works. Are there any studies?

HP has been studied over the last 200 years in retrospective studies, prospective studies, observational studies, and real-life, boots-on-the-ground applications for epidemics. You can see some of these studies here.

Someone told me this is a “green vax.” Is HP a substitute for conventional recommendations?

HP is perfectly safe when used under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. There are no adjuvants, preservatives, antibiotics, or other excipients in the pellets.

No, it is not a substitute.  It’s a completely different paradigm – one that promotes robust immunity and better long-term health. Health agencies and schools do not accept HP as a form of inoculation. Read up on Isaac Golden’s 15-year study to learn more. 

How does it actually work?

HP provides the frequency of disease. It’s an energetic imprint that is recognized by the vital force of the body and as a result the disease is either not contracted, or an appropriate immune response is raised. For more on vitalism and how HP and homeopathy works, you can stream the films Quest for Real Immunity and Passage to Real Immunity from the comfort of your home.

Is HP Safe?

HP is completely safe and nontoxic. It contains energetic information and has been used safely for over 200 years.  Additionally, there are no adjuvants, preservatives, antibiotics, or other excipients in the pellets. With well over 1500 children in our programs, we have never seen any adverse effects.

Can HP benefit my child if he’s gone the conventional route?

Lots of parents choose to change lanes after seeing something that makes them uncomfortable. If you have questions about your child’s readiness or if your child has an injury, sign up for a free 15 minute call with an HP professional.

Does HP Shed?

HP does not “shed” nor can you “catch” the disease from taking the pellets. 

My daughter is older and starting college. Can she use HP at all?

Yes! HP can be used by babies (starting after 1 month of age), children, college students, adults, people traveling to tropical areas. Download our free HP Resource  to better understand the scope of HP.

I live in a state that will accept titers for the required diseases. Will HP provide these?

HP does not promise to produce antibodies, though some families have tested and discovered antibodies after using HP. HP has different aims from vaccines that induce antibodies: antibodies reflect an inflammatory response in the adaptive arm of the immune system. Real immunity results from a balanced response that engages both arms of the immune system. The antibody conversation is an interesting one. Schedule a free 15-minute conversation with one of HP Professionals to learn more about antibodies and why they aren’t the “gold standard” of immunity. 

My son got his shots, and I just want to detox him.
Is this necessary before doing HP?

He may or may not need detoxing depending on how limiting symptoms are. Best to discuss readiness questions with an HP Professional.

What’s proper training?

The practitioners with Real Vitality have been certified through the Real Vitality HP Training Program. It is important to find a professional to oversee your program,who will provide you with proper support and education. 

Isn’t it better to just do nothing, eat well and take supplements?

That’s the common assumption, and sound nutrition is definitely an important part of robust immunity.  Here’s the difference – When Dr. Isaac Golden did his 15-year study, he found that the HP group had better long-term health outcomes. In other words, they had fewer colds, allergies, eczema, etc.  He attributed this to the concept that they were actually receiving the diseases in an energetic form and thus had all the benefits of natural disease with none of the risks. In other words, they were “exercising their immune systems” in a healthy way.

When Tensions Run High: A Response to the Loss of Religious Exemptions

When rights are removed with no regard for due process, families naturally feel threatened and frightened. We are certainly living in interesting times. It‘s now more important than ever to stay focused in the present moment.

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s retreats teach the power of focusing our attention to where we want our energy to go. Thoughts and emotions have a vibration. They produce hormones and wire synapses in our brain. Repetition of thoughts or emotions have the potential to manifest results on the material plane.

On-going mandates and the loss of religious exemptions has led many to wonder:

-What if I am forced to perform a medical act that may cause harm?
-Is there a way to mitigate such harm?
-What if I am in the military or immigrating an adopted child to the USA?  

Freedom is a state of mind and many who have chosen to step out of the public school matrix are discovering a new-found sense of freedom and joy in homeschooling. Listen to our podcast with Robin Shirley who has envisioned a cooperative homeschool program. 

Our goal here at Real Vitality is to contribute to health and vitality; to uplift and inspire; to educate and expand. The remedy to much of the insanity we are observing is to go within and find peace and steadiness. In the words of Thich Nhat Hanh, “Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice… No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.”

For those struggling with fear, indecision and uncertainty regarding titers, mandates and detoxing, this class is for you. This online class will address the health concerns parents may be experiencing and ways to deal with the current compliance required by many states who have outlawed religious exemptions.
