A valuable seminar Sept 1, 09 for those considering this complex health decision. Learn about safe and effective disease prevention programs. Make confident, informed decisions for your family's health.

What is a healthy immune system and how does it work? What is a vaccine and what is in the shot? What is the Homeopathic Immunization Protocol (HIP)?

For those of us feeling concerned as we hear more and more media scares about the dangers of upcoming flu pandemics, becoming educated about immune systems, the flu shot and the Homeopathic Immunization Protocol might help ease many fears and aid in decision making. While classical homeopathy offers preventive medicine, homeopathic immunization protocols, administered orally not via needle, are increasingly popular in situations when someone has been exposed to, or there has been an outbreak of, a virus.

Homeopathy, a gentle yet effective way to strengthen the immune system, has been used for centuries to maintain body balance (homeostasis). Just recently historical and groundbreaking research on the effectiveness of homeopathic immunizations against infectious disease in mass populations has thrilled the international homeopathic community.

Last December at NOSODES 2008, an international conference on homeopathy, immunizations and epidemics, a massive study revealed that homeopathy is amazingly effective against Leptospirosis infection. This annual Cuban epidemic is caused by water pollution from hurricane flooding across the country. The spirochaete Leptospira is transmitted to humans from rats, causing jaundice, kidney damage and death. With allopathic vaccination, the number of infections per year was thousands, including some deaths, reported the Carlos J Finlay Institute, the independent research institute that produces allopathic vaccinations for the country and hosts the annual conference.

In August 2007, the Carlos J Finlay Institute tried a different disease-prevention tack. They gave approximately five million people in two Cuban provinces specifically chosen homeopathic preparations as well as Bach flower remedies to help address the mental and emotional stress of the hurricane disaster situation. Within two weeks of homeopathic intervention, the then rising rates of Leptospirosis infection started dropping rapidly and stopped at 10. In 2008, there were no deaths and total infections dropped to less than 10 per month.

El Cecchetto of Access Natural Healing and one of the speakers at this upcoming lecture, points out that there is research dating back through the history of homeopathy that shows its protective effect against epidemics like influenza, but it's nice to have newer data as well. "Our immune systems are amazing and that's why homeopathy works," she says. "You're supporting the system in what it's designed to do. "Viruses and bacteria are everywhere. Yet some people are affected and some aren't.
