1 How to Educate Your Child s Immune System: Brought to you by Free and Healthy Children International Vaccination or Homeoprophylaxis A Non-profit, dedicated to research, education and access to homeoprophylaxis for the prevention of infectious disease and the preservation of children s health

2 Free and Healthy Children International: Purposes To Educate practitioners in the use of Homeoprophylaxis (HP) To Certify practitioners educated in HP and oversee continuing education To oversee practitioners Implementation of HP into their practices To oversee Data collection of HP for the prevention of infectious disease To oversee Analysis of the data collected To Promote Access to the use of HP in North America and Internationally To Protect Children s Immune Systems and health so that they may life free and healthy lives

3 Is there another way? Protect your children Educate the immune system Understand the role of illness Empower you as a parent

4 Overview of todays lecture Overview immune system development and the normal process of a fever How to support fevers Examine the methodology of vaccination, its history and current application Examine the risks of vaccines in developing immune systems ~ Introduce Homeoprophylaxis as a disease prevention model that promotes normal immune system development Clinical findings for homeoprophylaxis

5 Why do we need a different way? Increasing recommendations for vaccine 1950 s vaccines recommended (5 doses) during first year (29 doses) - From birth - 18 years old (69 doses)

6 Normal childhood development DNA Expression for selfindividuation: Interconnected functions and systems Immune system Digestive function Neurologic function Intellectual discrimination Personality and social development

7 Developing immune system Up to 12 years to fully develop Not able to make antibodies in the first year of life General and specific immune responses Peripheral and deeper aspects Fever and discharges T1/T2 activity, antibody function

8 Digestive function What is nutrition and what is waste? What will my body benefit from and what needs to be discarded? Mothers milk/colostrum First foods Nutrition that sustains health The ability for the body/mind to discriminate

9 Neurologic function Primitive reflex inhibition Right/ Left brain activity Logic and emotions Vestibular and visual stimulation Normal brain development

10 Role of acute disease in development Fevers are akin to the birthing process Purification of a fever Liberations of toxins through discharge Development of adaptive measures to ensure survival Selection towards individuation How can we support the infectious process to satisfy this innate prerogative?

11 Is Disease Bad? Fear of disease Possibility of permanent effects Attempts to manage/avoid disease Vaccines and antibiotics Immune system damage from vaccines Changes in normal gut flora from antibiotics Changes in digestive function Repeated ear infections/ interruption in vestibular stimulation Changes in neurological development Pervasive developmental delays Changes in immune system function Allergies,, asthma, skin conditions, food sensitivities

12 Why do we need a different way? Vaccines have not changed how the immune system needs to work with the normal process of developing a fever Growing concern over chronic illness in children Chronic ear/sinus infections Asthma and allergies Adult diseases in children Rheumatoid arthritis Diabetes Pervasive Developmental Delays ADD/ADHD Autism

13 Healthy immune response Strength of disease vs Susceptibility of the person 1. Repel the disease 2. Contract the disease

14 Natural process of disease Exposure Prodromal period Resolution/ Immunity Chill Eruptions Fever Development of discharge Antibody production

15 Strength of disease vs Susceptibility of the person 3. Disease remains unresolved in the body if the immune system is unable to clear the disease

16 Results of current day vaccine schedules Circulating injected diseases in blood steam Incomplete expression of the disease to organ of affinity Agitated immune system/ histamine reaction Toxicity from vaccine adjuvants Damage to blood cells Secondary damages Inability to differentiate what is foreign or not Auto-immune disorders Encapsulating the foreign material Ear infections, Tumors Repeated antibiotics Superbugs, import of molds and fungus, damages to digestive tract

17 Managing fevers Benefits of fevers Risks of fevers How high is too high? Homeopathic treatment of fevers

18 Is it possible to view infectious disease as a beneficial process? What benefits are we denying the child by preventing disease? Is any treatment suppressive?

19 How can we stimulate immunity without killing the person? How can we mimic natural responses to disease with artificial means

20 Homeoprophylaxis (HP) Home-e-o-pro-phyl-AXIS Safe Natural Effective FDA regulated Used for over 200 years

21 Homeopathic attenuation Diluted pure disease agent Energetic frequency of disease Body behaves as if it has the disease Frequency passes out of the body Learning of the disease without the suffering of the disease

22 Comparing treatment rates

23 Program

24 Measures of Reaction & Effectiveness After Follow-up Surveys Data Series Series 1-5 Series 6-10 Series Totals 1. Total Responses Previously vaccinated 2. Definite reactions to remedies Reactions per person Reactions per dose 3. Definitely suffered from diseases covered by the main program 4. Definitely exposed to diseases covered by main program 5. Definitely suffering diseases after taking the appropriate remedy % 12.5% 13.5% 12.2% % 10.2% 10.0% 12.2% 1.2% 1.7% 1.7% 1.5% % 1.3% 1.4% 1.7% % 15.5% 13.8% 17.8% 18/177 11/127 11/113 40/ % 8.75% 9.7% 9.6% 6. Definitely not suffering diseases after definite exposure and after taking appropriate dose 159/ / / / % 91.3% 90.3% 90.4%

25 Clinical evidence of HP Isaac Golden PhD 3000 children 15 year study 94% effective when exposed to disease Meningitis Brazil 65,826 treated (4 Cases), untreated (20 cases) 95% effective Leptospirosis Cuba 2.3 million people 2007 & 2008 Incidence reduced by 84% at same time incidence increased 21% in non-treated areas

26 Both HP and Vaccination Aim to prevent disease Derived from actual disease Aim is to stimulate immunity prior to exposure

27 How is it different? Homeoprophylaxis Single disease at a time General immune system functions and responds appropriately Given by mouth Attenuation by dilution No chemicals or additives Vaccination Multiple diseases at once Specific antibody production expected (not possible till months of age) Injected into muscle Toxin, bacteria crude dose Added chemicals: Preservatives, Mercury Antibiotics Adjuvants

28 Comparing methods Homeoprophylaxis Mild immunological response serves to educate the immune system Vaccination Many potential side effects including death, too many diseases at once: Immune system confusion

29 What to expect when you choose Homeoprophylaxis Initial appointment Receive kit Booklet with instructions and Status Sheet 44-month program Access to homeopath for support/questions Can be started at any age, even if some vaccines given Participation in the study Cost: $272/1 st child; $195/2 nd child; $20/3 rd + child (Plus shipping)

30 Can I use HP?

31 International study We are collecting data to document long term health outcomes of people using HP As of 2012 we have approximately 300 children enrolled. All children undergoing HP will be a part of the study For access to an HP supervisor and more on how the program works please visit us at vaccinefree.wordpress.com
