Homeopathy: Preventative Medicine
Homeopathy & You|January 2019

It all began with Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of homeopathy, over two centuries ago; thereafter, it has been a long history of homeopathic remedies being used to not only cure, but also prevent illness. To cull a case in point: Dr Hahnemann, successfully used the homeopathic remedy, Belladonna, early on in his career, as a prophylactic against scarlet fever.

Homeopathy: Preventative Medicine

The outbreak of measles in California, USA, was reported with great alacrity in the mass media. This has been a useful punctuation point for a campaign of the national medical and pharmaceutical industries to force multiple mandatory vaccinations nationwide as well as stigmatise those who withstand the pressure to participate.

People are increasingly faced with the prospect of losing jobs, or educational opportunities, based on their vaccination status. The FDA is currently unveiling a ‘Mandatory Adult Vaccination and Electronic Tracking Program,’ and supposedly social media will be monitored for ‘anti-vaccine chatter.’ Word has it that an alarm system is in the works which will identify non-vaccinated individuals and send out ‘Bio-Safety Alerts’ via text messages to cell phones in their vicinity.

California just passed a law that removed philosophical and religious exemptions to compulsory vaccines. Vermont just passed a law removing the philosophical exemption.

Lost in all the frenzy is some historical perspective, a reasoned dialogue on the pros and cons of vaccinations, and the possibility of an effective alternative to vaccinations.

It all began with Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of homeopathy, over two centuries ago; thereafter, it has been a long history of homeopathic remedies being used to not only cure, but also prevent illness. To cull a case in point: Dr Hahnemann successfully used the homeopathic remedy Belladonna, early on in his career, as a prophylactic against scarlet fever. Thirty years later, he was similarly successful in preventing cholera with Cuprum Metallicum, the homeopathically-prepared copper.

The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing

Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control. The unconscious level of the mind is where homeopaths partake in the big story of humanity as a whole: of the individual’s life, the archetypical initiations, transitions and thresholds shared by all humanity.
