HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH TO IMMUNITY

• Homoeopathy, Immunity, Homoeoprophylaxis,
  Childhood vaccination are an
• ONGOING DEBATE

4

• Immunity Ability of an organism to resist
  infection by means of antibody and white blood
  cells, security against a particular disease
• Susceptibility Quality of a living organism to
  receive impressions, the power to react.

5

• The parents of young children in particular, are
  asked to subject their children, vaccination and
  immunization.
• Do they know the possible dangers of the methods
  to which they are subjected?

6

• Questioning an established practice such as
  vaccination may on the surface seem like a vast
  and complicated task.

7

• If we start by asking some of the basic
  questions, such as,
• What is the rationale of vaccinating?
• Why and how was this method popularized?
• Are germs really the source of disease?
• What role has vaccination played in the fall of
  infectious diseases?
• Then this complex subject begins to unfold into a
  much simpler issue

8
The Genius of Homoeopathy

• Living organisms have some means of self
  protection and the automatic formation of
  antibodies and antitoxins in the organism goes on
  at about an equal pace with the generation of
  toxins.

9

• Inflammation and fever are merely signs of normal
  reaction and resistance to an irritant or poison
  by which nature protects itself.
• Vaccination causes Partial or complete
  destruction of normal power of the organism to
  react to the stimulus - Susceptibility

10
Prof. James Ewing- Cornell University Medical
College -1909

• The effect to produce passive immunity against
  various infections by means of sera may fail in
  spite of destruction of all bacteria present in
  the body, by reason the endotoxins thrown out in
  the process of bacteriolysis resulting from the
  serum injection

11

• An animal whose serum is normally bacteriolytic
  may on immunization lose this power
• Bacteria living in serum but not producing
  symptoms

12

• Inoculation of crude, pathological products like
  animal sera and vaccines confers only a spurious
  immunity through impairment or destruction of
  normal susceptibility.
• It results in contamination or poisoning of
  entire organism, sets up a morbid condition
  instead of a healthy one and leads to physical
  degeneration.

13

• Vaccine treatment, the latest, most general and
  most widely adopted theory and practice growing
  out of bacteriology is now acknowledged by the
  highest representative authority of regular
  medicine to be a failure
• Smallpox Eradicated
• Chickenpox, measles, Diphtheria, Polio,
  Hepatitis, tuberculosis, Tetanus - Controlled

• Childhood vaccination is an overwhelmingly safe
  procedure is an article of faith in medicine,
  accepted by physicians and the public alike.
• Medical historian Harris Coulter shows that this
  assumption is not borne out by the evidence -
  citing data from the specialized literature and
  many parent interviews.

15

• Where conventional (allopathic) medicine has no
  treatment for most of the infectious disease that
  vaccines seek to prevent, the Sciences of
  Homeopathy and herbal medicine provide treatment
  and preventative approaches that have proven
  effective in clinical practice over hundreds of
  years.

16

• Homoeopathy differs with regular medicine in its
  interpretation and application of several
  fundamental principles of science.
• Philosophical
• Homoeopathy medical science regards all things
  and forces including life and mind as having a
  real objective existence

17
HOMOEOPATHIC CONCEPT OF DISEASE

• INDIVIDUAL

STIMULUS
PHYSICAL
EMOTIONAL
MENTAL
DISEASE
18

• For Burnett, vaccinosis was a subdivision of
  Hahnemann's sycosis. He felt that recognition of
  its prevalence was of considerable utility in the
  consulting room and at beside.
• Homoeoprophylaxis was an area that Burnett
  intended to explore, armed with the power of the
  law of similars.

19
Dr.M.L.Dhawale- Principles and Practice of
Homoeopathy

• Homoeopathic treatment does not interfere with
  the process of immunity in the body, all
  available evidences show that recovery from
  infections results from the stimulation of
  natural defence mechanisms and the conservation
  of bodily energy.

20

• Future generations may look upon us as an
  irresponsible group of Parents and Physicians
• Vaccinations are one of the most effective
  preventive procedures in modern medicine.
• However, earlier studies have indicated that
  homoeopathic physicians do not recommend or apply
  vaccinations as frequently as their allopathic
  colleagues.

21

• the historical use of Homoeoprophylaxis
• the philosophical basis of Homoeoprophylaxis
• treatment or prevention
• use in epidemics
• only Nosodes
• the risks of Homoeoprophylaxis
• the effectiveness of Homoeoprophylaxias
• the mechanism of action of Homoeoprophylaxis

22

• The prevention of infectious disease remains one
  of the most difficult areas of medicine, with no
  perfect solution in sight.
• The term Homoeopathic vaccination is a
  misnomer. Vaccination, a well understood medical
  term, relies on antibody formation. Homoeopathic
  medicines do not rely on antibody formation.
• When a homoeopathic medicine is given to help and
  protect the patient against infectious diseases,
  the correct description is Homoeoprophylaxis.

23

• How vaccines are supposed to work ?
• Why the immunization theory is flawed ?
• How effective vaccines really are ?
• The hidden dangers of immunization ?
• The options available?

24

• chickenpox needs to be treated?
• A very healthy response to this virus involves a
  small smattering of spots, a runny nose, a
  low-grade fever perhaps some small drop in
  energy that may last a few days.
• If the picture of a Homoeopathic remedy does not
  emerge clearly in the child, don't treat them.
• Pulsatilla nigrans Rhus toxicodendron
• Antimonium tartaricum Antimonium crudum
• Mercurius vivus Aconite
• Belladonna Sulphur

25

• HOMOEOPATHIC VACCINATION SCHEDULEAS PRACTICED
  BY BENGAL ALLEN MEDICAL INSTITUTE
• Age of Child Homoeopathic Immunisation Schedule
• 3 - 9 month Tuber. Bov.(esp. when there is
  tubercular diathesis) in place of
  BCG.Diphtherinum Pertussin Tetanotoxin (at an
  interval of 1-2 months) in place of DPT triple
  vaccine.Lathyrus Sat. in place of trivalent OPV.
• 9 -12 months Morbillinum.
• 18-24 months Diphthetinum Pertussin
  Tetanotoxin (in place of DPT triple vaccine
  Booster dose). Lathyrus Sat (in place of
  trivalent OPV booster dose).
• 5 - 6 years Diphtherinum Tetanotoxin (in
  place of DT bivalent booster dose). Baptisia (in
  place of monovalent typhoid vaccine).
• 10 years Tetanotoxin (in place of Tetanus
  Toxoid booster dose).

26

• Our aim is not to justify the clinical use of
  Homeopathic medicines but to present evidence
  showing that substances prepared according to the
  Homeopathic method have some effects on
  the immune system and inflammation.
• This may be the first step for a re-evaluation of
  Homeopathy as a worthwhile field for basic and
  clinical investigations.

27

• Prevention of epidemic breakouts by administering
  "Homoeopathic vaccination", countering epidemic
  breakouts, countering compromised state of the
  immune system by Homoeopathy can pave way to
  better understanding.

28

• The experiments have not been published in
  high-impact journals
• Difficulties in replication even in the same
  multicenter trials
• Findings are not known to the majority of medical
  scientists.
• Lack of reproducibility in different
  laboratories,
• Prejudices
• have limited acceptance of these apparently
  paradoxical results, which would otherwise make a
  breakthrough in the field.

29
Dr.M.L.Dhawale- Principles and Practice of
Homoeopathy

• In the management of infections we see
  Homoeopathic remedies acting in a smooth manner,
  conserving the bodily resources and leading to a
  quick and uneventful convalescence, the tendency
  to relapse is also checked effectively

30

• Specific for diseases are ever failing because
  no two cases even of the same disease are ever
  the same cure is individual

31

• The Homoeopathic remedy, correctly chosen upon
  indication afforded by symptoms of diseases as
  manifested in the individual, administered in
  infinitesimal dose satisfies the morbid
  susceptibility, supplies the need for the
  organism and confers a true immunity by promoting
  health

32

• The simple fact is that we have no reliable
  evidence to show that vaccines have uniformly
  prompt and specific curative effects.
• Effort must be taken in future to enable tissue
  and bacteria to live together in peace rather
  than to produce a state where the serum is
  destructive to the bacteria.

33

• Never believe what the lines on your palm
  predict about your future because even people
  without hands also have a future
• In tough times you will always find two hands
  eagerly waiting to help you and those hands will
  be your own hands - Kennedy

• Woods are Lovely, Dark and Deep,
• But I have promises to keep,
• Miles to go before I sleep,
• Miles to go before I sleep,
