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:

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.

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.

There’s so much to know, but we make it easy!
There’s a safer way to build vitality and the terrain without risk: 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.
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
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
This is the first remedy to think of when coming down with a flu-like illness. It can be taken within the first 24 hours of symptoms suddenly appearing. This is especially true if the symptoms came on after being exposed to harsh weather or a cold wind. You can often nip the virus in the bud with Aconitum in this way if taken immediately. The symptoms you may see are a fever with chills, flushed cheeks and a rapid pulse.

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.

Living a Real Vitality lifestyle is easier said than done, right? It certainly takes a lot to move from the limited and fear-based conventional view of health and wellness to a place where one has complete ownership of their health and immune function. Yet lately, that call has become loud and clear for so many during these tumultuous times when health care freedoms are challenged more than ever before.
It also takes a lot of support to feel confident enough to forgo the recommendations from physicians that don’t quite feel right. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to not feel like you have to go at it alone?
And what about that feeling…That sense that there’s a better option out there? That is what we call intuition, and the purpose of the Real Immunity Film series is to help people align with their innate intuition and liberate that voice that is asking questions and interested in more options.
Over the last year, the Real Vitality Team has tested out a new product called Empowerment Groups, that are aligned with the values and intentions of the Real Immunity film series. This product seeks to provide further guidance and support through the essential points in the first film, Quest for Real Immunity.
By creating a study-group format for viewing and discussing the films, it is now possible to have community and support through all the questions and fears that arise when embracing Real Immunity:
What’s the best option for my family?
Who are the experts I can look to?
How does this lifestyle look?
How can I make it work for my family?
What basic information and skills do I need to live a Real Immunity lifestyle?
Parents who want to be fed support (rather than fear) for the health and wellness choices they are making for their children
People who want to be empowered about their health in a world full of confusing and complicated options
Parents who want to build their instincts when it comes to the health of their children
People who want to know who the experts in the field of natural health are, and how to access their messages
Individuals seeking their tribe, people who share their common health beliefs
How Do Empowerment Groups Work?
First, one must decide if they want to lead an Empowerment Group.
If you have decided you want to LEAD a group, your Empowerment Group will have access to the three 30 minute episodes of the Quest for Real Immunity film. The Empowerment Group Leader is equipped with a discussion packet and guidance on how to lead a discussion for each of the three sessions with the materials found in the class portal. By using an application like Zoom, group leaders can offer their Empowerment Group remotely to individuals around the world, or they can choose to host a more intimate, in-person gathering with those living close-by.
Empowerment Groups are limited to a maximum of 10 individuals (plus a leader), and leaders can choose to charge their group members a fee for the ability to participate in the program.
It is also an option to purchase the program for yourself, for those who are not interested in learning with a group. Parents have purchased the program and taught it to their high school students or coop groups. There is no minimum number required to conduct an Empowerment Group.
If you are interested in LEADING an empowerment group, feel free to share the image below on social media to help build your group:
What are the “perks” of Empowerment Groups?
While Quest for Real Immunity can be streamed at home by anyone, by joining a Real Immunity Empowerment Group, not only will you be able to watch the film, but you’ll be able to take part in lively discussions around the topics in the film.
During our beta focus group sessions, we found that the participants reported a greater understanding of the topics as well as a greater sense on how to implement the concepts relayed by the film after participating in the program. An example of some of these concepts covered are: Germ Theory vs. Terrain Theory, the gifts of childhood diseases, allopathic vs. homeopathic health solutions, using and developing your intuition, understanding the innate intelligence of the body, moving past fear, and many more. For anyone interested in venturing into or supporting a Real Immunity lifestyle, Empowerment Groups are an essential 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?

There’s so much to know, but we make it easy!
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: Find out more about the safety and efficacy of HP by reading the commonly asked questions in this article. 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 by joining the free Knowledge Vault.
Someone told me this is a “homeopathic inoculation.” 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. 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 Cilla’s films Quest for Real Immunity and Passage to Real Immunity from the comfort of your home.
I’m worried about safety since there was a scare about those homeopathic teething tablets.
HP is completely safe when administered with proper supervision. It’s energetic information and contains no material substance. You cannot overdose. Additionally, there are no adjuvants, preservatives, antibiotics, or other excipients in the pellets. With 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, you should discuss these concerns with an HP Professional.
I’m worried about “shedding” since I have relatives with very young infants.
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, and pregnant women.. Download our free HP Resource Sheet to see all the services and resources available.
I live in a state that will accept titers for the required diseases. Will HP provide these?
No, titers reflect an inflammatory response in the adaptive arm of the immune system. Real immunity results from a balanced response. Besides, some people are low or non-responders and don’t produce antibodies yet still don’t get sick. Homeopaths know this. Science hasn’t caught up yet.The antibody conversation is an interesting one. Schedule a free 15-minute conversation with one of HP Professionals to learn more about antibodies.
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. Perhaps constitutional homeopathy can help, or maybe HP can be started.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, and who will provide you with proper support and education.
My doctor says we need protection from all childhood diseases.
We don’t offer medical advice, but you can share your concerns and questions with one of our professionals by scheduling a brief 15 minute consult.
Isn’t it better to just do nothing, eat well and take supplements?
Yes, 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.

Did you get your blue eyes from your grandmother? How about your curly hair, or your infectious laugh?
Often, inheritance plays a key role in influencing a person’s state and vitalism as well as these physical details. We all inherit proclivities and predispositions towards certain disease. Often these diseases are ones our parents and grandparents may have had or were susceptible to as well. In homeopathy, these inherited proclivities are known as “Miasms.”
Just like hair and eye color, we also inherit proclivities towards certain disease, known in homeopathy as “Miasms.” Miasmic prescribing mitigates the expression of these proclivities, often reducing the severity of symptoms.
Through miasmic prescribing, homeopaths are able to mitigate the expression of certain genetic inheritances and diseases. Though a person’s genes cannot be altered, the expression of the proclivities carried on these genes can be made less severe or less life threatening.
For example: Those born with Downs Syndrome are often subject to lots of severe respiratory and cardiac symptoms. With constitutional homeopathic treatment, we see a lessening of these symptoms. The vital force has been unencumbered to express itself more freely.
Women treated constitutionally prior to having children diminish the miasmatic influence upon their own vital force, thus offering their offspring freedom from these liabilities.
This is just another area where homeopathy presents a massive opportunity for healing. While science acknowledges the important genetic markers we inherit, homeopathy takes this a step further maintaining that our inheritance also includes aspects of our ancestor’s vital force. In this way, ancestors who may have suffered from scabies may pass on skin issues. Recent scientific genetic research may actually support this claim:
“Genes may only be receivers of information transmitted by the vital force, much like the television is only the receiver of a broadcast transmitted over the airwaves. Thus, just fixing your television won’t improve the quality of the shows you can receive on it, replacing or removing your body parts won’t repair underlying problems with the vital force. And even if you can’t replace your television (your genes) there is still the possibility of improving the quality of the programs it receives (the activity of the vital force.)” From Amy Lansky’s Impossible Cure (p. 104)
Women treated constitutionally prior to having children diminish the miasmatic influence upon their own vital force, thus offering their offspring freedom from these liabilities.
Often miasmic expression can be kept at bay. But under stress or times when the terrain may be disturbed, these expressions often manifest, and a homeopath may augment constitutional treatment to address the miasm that is manifesting.
There are many miasms. In the class Miasms: Painting Health and Emotions, Cilla presents the Cancer, Psoric, Sycotic, Syphlitic and Tubercular Miasms.
When considering miasms, a homeopath looks at the central disturbances and disease manifestations (physical symptoms) as well as the mental-emotional picture. Symptoms that may indicate a Syphlitic Miasm would be alcoholism, depression, suicidal tendencies, mental illnesses, eating disorders, violence, cardiac conditions, birth defects and self-destructive behaviors such as cutting. Often there is also Nocturnal Periodicity: Individuals who are either worse at night or consider themselves Night Owls.
To describe the Syphlitic mental-emotional picture, Cilla offers the case in her Miasm class:
A woman came to her as a client who carried a gun in her purse. She felt she had to protect herself, like others were out to get her, and was very depressed. Upon further observation, it was discovered that she was simply fearful and felt threatened. Syphilinum helped her to move out of this internal state.
Another case involved a small child born with a severe case of Stabismus (crossed-eyes) who was very much helped by Syphilinum.
With homeopathy, there is never a time when the vital force cannot be empowered to promote healing in the body. Miasmic prescribing is simply another tool in the professional homeopath’s tool belt.

Lots of parents are asking questions about inoculations these days. The more answers they find, the more questions they have. Searching for a safe and effective choice has become a common goal. Many parents are finding it in homeoprophylaxis, commonly called HP. Here’s why.
1. Clean and green.
Featured in Passage to Real Immunity, the Moonen familly has found homeoprophylaxis the best choice for their family. HP is ideal for parents who ask questions and trust their intuition.
HP is made by serial dilution. This means that starting with the source material, such as mucus or biological tissue from a disease; it is then diluted over and over again until no molecules of the original substance are present. This type of ‘attenuation’ or weakening of the source material is similar to how vaccines are made, but to a much higher degree, making it very safe.
2. No foreign media.
Inoculations need to be attenuated using foreign media such as monkey kidneys, eggs, porcine (pig) tissue, or even fetal cells. These mediums contain the DNA of the source as well as any foreign viruses that may be present. We know that SV40 (Simian Virus) was delivered via the polio inoculation with some serious consequences. HP involves no such media.
3. No chemicals of any kind.
HP contains no preservatives, no adjuvants, no antibiotics, no excitotoxins, and no carcinogens. That’s saying a lot in a world where we come into contact with so many chemicals, pesticides, and substances that can overload a developing immune system.
4. No shots.
Homeopathic pellets: when the pellets touch mucous membrane, the disease is introduced in the same way that Mother Nature introduces disease.
HP is delivered by tiny pellets taken by mouth. When the pellets touch mucous membrane, the disease is introduced in the same way that Mother Nature introduces disease.
5. One disease at a time.
Just like Mother Nature intended, a developing immune system can recognize and mount an appropriate immune response to one disease at a time. HP always gives just one at a time.
6. Parents are in the driver’s seat.
Parents know their child best. They should be the ones making health decisions for a child after doing their homework. Doing something proactive is empowering. Seeing and understanding the maturation of the immune system as you learn about how to administer HP is empowering. HP is ideal for parents who ask questions and want to choose what they feel is best for their child.
7. Homeoprophylaxis is not a replacement.
The goal is to encourage children’s immune systems function at their highest potential. In this way when challenged by an environmental threat, their bodies have the capacity to find healing.
The principle behind HP is to educate the immune system to recognize disease and, either resist it or be able to mount an appropriate immune response.
For more information on the importance of educating the immune system, check out Cilla’s class on the Health Helix.
8. Disease is not the enemy.
The inoculation campaign is based upon fear – fear of disease; fear of symptoms; fear of contagion; fear the body has no natural capacity to manage illness. HP is based upon living in a compatible relationship with bacteria and viruses. They are part of our human biome; without them we wouldn’t survive. It makes more sense to live with these evolving organisms than to fight against them. We can see how over-use of antibiotics has painted us into a corner. HP is about understanding the natural human ability we possess to manage illness; that illness is the mechanism that exercises and matures the immune system. Knowing this is powerful.
9. It’s about the terrain, not the germ.
This is what Louis Pasteur said on his deathbed. He recognized that coming into contact with germs is not the reason we get sick; it’s about our susceptibility. This knowledge is the hallmark of homeopathic theory. Fortifying the individual with clean food and water and the natural gift of homeoprophylaxis is far better than suiting up with protective armor against perceived threats.
10. Homeoprophylaxis works.
No method is 100% effective. The 2016-2017 influenza inoculation was 48% effective. The pertussis inoculation is estimated to be 73% effective in the first year and 34% in the following two to four years.
Having free agency to make decisions regarding our own health and that of our children is essential. In a world where food and water are contaminated with toxins and biologically incompatible substances, it makes sense to seek out the most natural methods for optimal health. Homeoprophylaxis is one such method.
