How to Prevent Diseases & How Homeopathy Helps

When talking about dis-ease prevention

March 4th, 2020

 whether it is caused by a bacteria or virus or something in-between, we are speaking about preparing the body to be able to ward off the microbe without succumbing to the actual illness that it causes.  There are many forms of this for instance even the seasonal flu vaccine is considered a prophylactic measure.  There are prophylactic remedies that are also made homoeopathically as well for the flu but are taken by mouth instead of by injection.  These remedies actually contain the part of the virus that your body can make antibodies to.  To be clear: the seasonal flu vaccine is an \”attenuated\” virus particle in a liquid medium and typically does not cause the disease.  (Please note this article is not written to discuss the negative side-affects of the flu vaccine and yes, there are negative side-effects and risks associated with any vaccine.  Each person must do the research themselves and decide whether it is a good choice for them.)

The homeopathic remedy for the flu does not contain the actual virus or even a virus particle, but what it does contain is the \”energetic finger-print\” of the virus.  For some people this is all they need to help stimulate their immune system and prepare for the virus.  This remedy needs to be taken frequently again when a person actually comes in contact with people who have the virus whereas the seasonal flu vaccine injection is only given once.

The idea with this approach is to build up your antibodies ahead of time, Ie. before you actually come in contact with the virus.

The down side to this approach is that in both cases the virus in the remedy or vaccine may not be the flu virus that is actually going around in your area.  So there is also another way to help boost your immune system with a remedy that is more general in nature.  But before I tell you about that remedy, let me also interject that remedies never take the place of good lifestyle habits like; plenty of sleep, good hygiene, proper nutrition, (including a low sugar diet, since sugar actually decreases your white cell count.), and using wellness therapies to keep yourself well. (ie. acupuncture, herbal therapy, homeopathic constitutional care, etc.)

The one Vitamin that can be helpful to boost the antibody level in your body is Vitamin A.  It is an anti-viral in general & will help boost your overall antibody levels.  The liquid Vitamin A is very good and is non-toxic, but you have to make sure it isn\’t in Canola oil or Soybean oil.  The one made from Genestra called Amulsion is very good and you can likely buy it from certain compounding pharmacies.  You can safely take large doses for short period of time.  A large dose depends on your body size and can range from 3 drops to 10 or 15 drops which is equal to 30,000 to 150,000 iu of Vitamin A.  I do find that the capsules are even better especially the ones from Cod Liver Oil, but you need to consult your Natural Health Practitioner to get the dose that is the right one for you.  (Dosages would be the same as the liquid.)  In both cases, please submit yourself to your health practitioner of choice to determine dosage for you.

And note that if you decide to get a conventional seasonal flu vaccine, taking the appropriate dosage of Vitamin A for you the day prior to the vaccine will help you produce antibodies quickly to this vaccine and can also prevent you from having a \”low energy\” day following the injected vaccine.
