Homoeoprophylaxis (HP) or Homoeopathic Vaccination
Homoeopathic Vaccination or Homoeoprophylaxis is a revolutionary game-changer. It opens a whole new range of possibilities in the world of vaccination. Until now, as parents, we only had the option of Conventional Vaccination Protocols, but Homoeopathy now provides an alternative to the conventional methods. The Homoeopathic Vaccination Protocol can be used exclusively or in conjunction with the Conventional vaccination, as per the discretion of the parents. It does not interfere with the action of allopathic vaccines.
My agenda in this article is giving some practical advice regarding HP. So the Complete Vaccination Program is divided into the Main Program & Supplementary Program.
The Main Program is flexible and is for long-term protection. It includes the preventative remedies for the following diseases mainly.
• Whooping cough
• Tetanus
• Polio
• Pneumococcal disease
• Haemophillus Influenza or Flu
• Meningococcal Meningitis
• Tuberculosis
The Supplementary Program is used as a short term booster as and when needed like when there is an increased likelihood of exposure to a particular disease, e.g. if a single person develops viral fever in a family, then the others can take a dose as there is an increased risk of exposure to the virus. If parents wish, these remedies can be added to the Main Program. This is totally the parents’ discretion as long as no more than one dose per month is given. It includes the following diseases.
• Measles
• Hepatitis B
• Influenza
• Rotavirus
• Tetanus wounds
• Dengue fever
• Chikungunya
• Viral fever
Even if you start late, your child can undertake the complete protocol, by taking one remedy, one dose every month. Your physician can continue giving the remedies in the standard order, one after the other, one remedy every month, until your child’s age has caught up with the recommended age on the Main Program. If your child has already received some orthodox vaccines, you can still use the program although you may not need all the doses of the relevant remedies. Talk to your Homoeopath to work out an appropriate program.
Some parents choose not to give remedies for the mild diseases such as Measles, knowing that the disease itself provides the most certain protection against later infection. It is quite alright to do so if you choose to, however you may add in other remedies, such as Hepatitis B, Polio, Measles, Rotavirus etc., anywhere in the program if you wish. It’s a single dose in the first month, followed by a triple dose next month. Your Homoeopath may change the order of remedies as needed. The remedies are best given at least one hour either side of eating, drinking or brushing the teeth etc. The mouth must be clean otherwise the remedies may be antidoted. You should ensure that at the very least you allow 30 minutes either side of the dose to be free from food or drink including breastmilk & water. A dose is ONE PILL uptil 11 months and TWO PILLS from 12 months onwards. ( The number of times given is what really matters, not the number of pills given)
Ensure that the remedies are not manually handled. Tip the pill onto the lid of the container and from there, onto your child’s mouth. If you feel your child is too young to safely suck pills, then they may be crushed & dissolved in a little lukewarm water/ milk and then after stirring vigorously, a teaspoon of the liquid given as a dose.
It is advised to be taken in the presence of your Homoeopathic physician, so all of the necessary precautions can be observed by him/ her. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask your Homoeopathic practitioner.
Very occasionally, a child may react very mildly to a remedy. They are NOT TOXIC REACTIONS, and represent a clearing effect. They are typically very mild and short lasting such as a cough, mild rash or restlessness.
The obvious advantages of HP over conventional vaccination is the non-invasive nature of doses. No painful injections need to be used, only pills achieve the desired protection against diseases. Therefore the child need not suffer any local side-effects such as inflammatory swellings and pain. Even fever is not expected after the doses.
Remember that the best natural protection against disease is to share a happy, healthy lifestyle with your children. That will ensure the highest possible level of natural immunological strength. A clean vital diet and peace of mind is your best medicine. Good health is something money alone can’t buy, but it is my sincere wish that the Homoeopathic Vaccination or Homoeoprophylaxis will contribute to a happy and healthy future for our children.

Hi @drvarshamkhurana 😄. Good to see you here. Glad you signed up.
I don’t have a lot of practice with homeoprophylaxis except right during an epidemic (as Samuel Hahnemann did) but I gather there’s an accumulating body of proof for it. Isaac Golden, I think, has done a fair bit of work on it in the USA.
I’d love to see more evidence for it.
