Homeopathy and Vaccine Injuries

Vaccines have the potential to prevent serious disease and to help save lives. Unfortunately, some individuals can experience adverse reactions to vaccines and deserve help. Adverse reactions may happen immediately or be delayed by days, weeks or even months and years, making them difficult to identify.

Homeopathy may help individuals experiencing such adverse events by supporting their constitution, immune system function and detoxification pathways. Some nutritional and herbal supplements may also be useful.
What Causes Vaccine Injuries in some Individuals?
In my practice I have observed that there are usually several factors involved in vaccine injuries, including:
1) Inherited predispositions
2) Traumatic events during pregnancy, labour and delivery
3) Other medical interventions
4) Nutritional factors
1) Inherited predispositions
2) Traumatic events during pregnancy, labour and delivery
3) Other medical interventions
4) Nutritional factors
Inherited Predispositions
I have learned from clinical practice that children and adults who suffer vaccine injuries are often affected by inherited predispositions that causes their immune systems to more easily over-react. There frequently are family histories of allergies and auto-immune conditions. MTHFR mutations and mitochondrial disorders may be more common. A family history of tuberculosis, gonorrhea or cancer tends to be more common in those who are vaccine injured. Fortunately, homeopathy can address such inherited predispositions as most of them are not genetic, but rather epigenetic in nature, which means they are not permanent.
Traumatic Events during Pregnancy, Labour and Delivery
In my practice I have also observed that the mothers of many children who were vaccine injured suffered intense emotional stress during pregnancy and/or had traumatic deliveries. Being harrassed at work, going through marital conflict or separation, being stalked, being chased by a bear, hiding a pregnancy in order not to lose employment, a ruptured uterus during delivery, going into shock from an epidural and babies being stuck in the birth canal for extended periods of time are all stories mothers of vaccine-injured children have reported to me. My sense is that this creates an increased sympathetic tone in the infant, meaning that their immune system is already on a higher level of alert. A vaccination under such circumstances may be more likely to trigger an over-reaction with inflammation and auto-immune phenomena.
Other Medical Interventions
Most of the time children who receive vaccines also receive other medical interventions or treatment, which may have a cumulative effect on their immune systems. These may include prenatal ultrasounds, medications during pregnancy, labour and delivery, vitamin K shots, antibiotics, Tylenol, sometimes anaesthetics and similar.
Nutritional Factors
Various nutrient deficiencies may increase immune system reactivity, especially a deficiency of vitamin D, which is extremely common. It has been observed that lower vitamin D levels during pregnancy can increase the risk of autism, which, in my opinion, is mostly due to vaccine injury. Vitamin D is an immune system regulator and helpful to reduce inflammatory and auto-immune conditions.
Healing Vaccine Injuries with Homeopathy
The homeopathic approach to healing vaccine injuries may include giving homeopathic remedies made from the actual vaccines that affected the person, as well as giving remedies to strengthen inherited predispositions and therefor the overall health of the individual, using special remedies to address any traumatic or stress imprints acquired during pregnancy or labour and delivery, as well as gentle organ support. Management strategies are always designed for the individual and their unique history.
Vaccine Injuries - The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, USA
Vaccines have the potential to trigger inflammatory and auto-immune conditions in susceptible individuals. These may include allergies, autism, ADHD, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, encephalopathy and other neurological problems as well as type 1 diabetes, lupus-like syndromes, MS-like syndromes and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, as it states right on the package inserts of the vaccines. You can read all the package inserts of every vaccine on the market here, directly from the FDA here.
The US National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out in excess of 4 billion dollars in compensation since its inception in 1988. Since then, more than 20,428 petitions for compensation for vaccine injuries have been filed with the VICP.
Of those, 17,718 petitions have been adjudicated, meaning a formal decision was pronounced; 6,430 received compensation and 11,288 were dismissed. Interestingly, 4,250 of the petitions that have received compensations were filed between 2006 and 2017, suggesting there’s been a significant rise in vaccine-related injury petitions to the VICP in the past decade, although two out of three claims continue to be denied.
The list of conditions compensated is extensive. It is estimated that only 1-5% of all vaccine injuries are even reported. Canada does not have a vaccine injury compensation program with the exception of Quebec and the exact extent of vaccine injury in Canada is relatively unknown as the majority of vaccine injuries are either not reported or not recognized as as result of delayed reactions.

Delayed or Secondary Adverse Vaccine Reactions
Information on delayed reactions has only recently come to light as a result of research by teams of French and Israeli physicians. Again, I wish to emphasize that vaccine injuries generally happen in susceptible individuals. As vaccine schedules have expanded since the late 80s more injuries are being reported, possibly because larger amounts of chemical additives and adjuvants such as aluminum are proving more challenging for more people.

Antibiotic Injuries
Antibiotics are extremely useful drugs and have also saved millions of lives. Unfortunately, antibiotics may sometimes lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, connective tissue disorders, kidney damage and microbiome imbalances among others. Mitochondrial disorders and microbiome imbalances may in turn contribute to the development of developmental disorders and other health concerns.
The average North American child takes more than 10 courses of antibiotics before age 16. Antibiotic use in parents before conception may contribute to developmental disorders in offspring through changes in the microbiome. Microbiome research has been exploding over the past decade. Lifestyle changes, probiotics and homeopathy may all be helpful to individuals who have been negatively impacted by antibiotics.

Other Medication Injuries
The use of drugs such as Acutane, statins, cortocosteroids and the birth control pill, even decades ago, may contribute to long-term health changes in susceptible individuals.
Other Toxins
Pesticide exposure, even decades ago, may have the potential to lead to pancreatic cancer. Long before cancer may develop pancreatic malfunction may contribute to nutrient malabsorption, blood-sugar abnormalities and potentially diabetes among others. Aluminum, mercury, flame retardants, bisphenol A and many other substances may negatively affect development and health. Again, homeopathic remedies, sometimes made from the actual toxins, have potential to help bring the organism back into balance.
