Assignment 6: Homeopathic View of Epidemics, disease of childhood and travel remedies.
The modern allopathic view of and approach to epidemics has been centrally influenced by the work of the British physician Edward Jenner who in 1796 noted that local dairy maids who had caught Cowpox never went on to catch Smallpox [at that time the country’s greatest killer disease]. ...
Since this time Allopathy’s approach to epidemics has been prophylactic. ... Combined with sensible advice on good hygiene and diet the public are now strongly encouraged by the allopathic establishment to inoculate themselves and their children against most of history’s major contagious diseases. ... This puts stress on the body, particularly if a series of vaccines are administered in quick succession, but the allopathic view is that this temporary state of somatic crisis will pass and full health will soon return. ...
While Homeopathy would not dispute that vaccines have played a part in reducing modern epidemics it would argue that improved sanitation and water, education on general hygiene and a healthy diet must also be given large credit. ...
d] Only give certain allopathic vaccines then follow with their homeopathic antidote. ...
g] Start constitutional homeopathic treatment soon after birth [4-6 weeks]. ... If and when an adult or child does contract a contagious disease, Homeopathy is confident it can provide remedies and potential cures for the symptoms of all epidemics.
Let us look at the epidemics of childhood and the most useful homeopathic remedies available. Below is a summary of their application in a few of most common diseases in infancy:
Most other childhood epidemic diseases such as scarlet fever, influenza, polio, diphtheria and meningitis usually mirror the above diseases in their initial symptoms and parents can feel confident that an emergency supply of a few ‘broad spectrum’ remedies in the 6c or 30c potency can ameliorate or even cure symptoms before the homeopath or doctor arrives. ...
Adults who are travelling abroad and wish to protect themselves against contagious diseases may be given prophylactic vaccines before they depart by their homeopath but another option is to take a homeopathic kit on the journey. Chosen remedies will equip the traveller to deal with all the symptoms of epidemic diseases [including the current SARS] but can also be very useful for a myriad of other typical acute travel complaints, as well as first aid situations.
