Homeopathic Prophylaxis

We recommend using these homeopathic nosodes only if you or your child are in contact with the illness concerned or you are in an area of high prevalence and you do not wish to contract the disease. In the cases of Chicken Pox, Measles, Mumps and Rubella, you may wish to actively encourage your child to develop these common childhood illnesses.

Chicken Pox	Varicella 30c	If you are in contact with Chicken Pox, take one dose am & pm on the first day; then one dose weekly for 3 weeks.

Diphtheria	Diphtherinum 30c	If you are in contact with cases of Diphtheria, take one dose a week while there is risk of infection.

German Measles	Rubella 30c Pulsatilla 30c	Pre-conception planning: For women with no antibodies to Rubella: two doses a week for 2 weeks before conception; repeat after 9 months if pregnancy has not occurred. If you come into contact with Rubella during the first 14 weeks, take Pulsatilla 30c immediately, followed by one dose every fortnight until the 14th week of pregnancy.


Hepatitis B	Hepatitis B nosode 30c	Every 12 hours for 3 doses, following any high-risk incident (see page on Hepatitis B).

Influenza	Influenzinum 30c and Bacillinum 30c [Helios or Ainsworth's Pharmacy] or Oscillicoccinum 30c	Once a month from October to March. Once a month from October to March.


Measles	Morbillinum 30c	If your child is in contact with the disease, one dose a week for three weeks.

Meningitis	Belladonna 30c or Meningococcus 200c	If you are in contact with Meningitis, take one dose of Belladonna 30c 3 times a week for 2 weeks or Meningococcus once a week for the duration of the epidemic.

Mumps	Parotidinum 30c	For adults who have not had mumps but are exposed to it (i.e., there are children in the family with the illness): one dose on contact and two further weekly doses.

Polio	Poliomyelitis 30c or Lathyrus Sat 30c	Take one dose a week for 3 weeks following any contact with the disease.

Tetanus	Clostridium Tet 30c Ledum 30c	One dose weekly during high-risk activities, e.g. trekking. After a deep puncture wound, take 3 or 4 doses over 24 hours. Where the wound has shooting pains, follow this with 3 or 4 doses of Hypericum 30c over 24 hours.


Whooping Cough	Pertussin 30c	If your child is in contact with the illness, give 3 doses in the first week followed by one dose weekly for 3 weeks.

There are many benefits of using homeopathic nosodes to protect yourself and your children from diseases.

There are no unpleasant or dangerous side effects.
They are simple to take and enable the immune system to operate as nature intended, and defend the body against foreign invaders.
They pose no risk to babies, children, pregnant and breast-feeding women, or those with compromised immune systems.
There are no long term chronic effects from using nosodes. The consequences of conventional vaccination include: allergies; auto-immune diseases where the immune system is prevented from being able to distinguish foreign cells ("non-self") from the body's own cells ("self"); and inappropriate immune response to a seemingly harmless substance such as pollen or cat hair.
Using nosodes avoids the build-up of toxic additives from vaccines (such as mercury, aluminium, gelatin, dyes, sweeteners, foreign protein - e.g. chick embryo in flu vaccine, human foetal tissue in chicken pox and rubella vaccines).
