Immune System: A War or a Housecleaning?

Gentle Nudges

The fall Vaccine Free: Now What? course is now taking registrations. And today, before midnight MT, you can still register at the early bird price of $435. before the price goes up to $550 tomorrow, September 19th. Sending kids back to school can take a big bite out of the budget, so do take advantage of the installment plan for both the early bird pricing and the regular registration. You can register right up until next Thursday, September 25th.

The two different prices? Well…we like to know as soon as possible who is joining us and how many people to expect…kind of like a party RSVP. By registering early, we have time to plan for your learning experience and take care of all the administration details as sign ups come in. Keeps the system running smoothly! We want this to be as easy as possible for you…and for us…when you join in on the first call!

The Extra Emails?

When we are getting ready for the 12-week Vaccine Free: Now What? course, the extra emails written are to give you an idea of what you might expect before making the commitment to join us. Whether you, as a reader, decide to wait or take a pass on the course, the extra emails are meant to encourage you to view infectious illnesses (usually diseases where vaccines are offered) in a different way. Looking at infectious illness from the philosophical viewpoint of homeopathy and from the recent research being done on the human biome can be very new for some.

Upside Down: More Dilute is Stronger? Huh?

Years ago when I first learned of homeopathy, I was thrilled with the results with my family. Then my world was turned upside down when I was presented with the concept that the more dilute a substance, the more ‘potent’ it became! How does that work, I wondered? Husband Ron (the “do you believe in homeopathy” guy in my life) thought that sounded crazy. Me too…until I learned more about the science and the art of homeopathy. Recent science is now revealing in research format what Hahnemann observed when he first stumbled on the homeopathic pharmacy of dilution and potentization.

Immune System: War or Housecleaning?

I first learned of the concept of the immune system being like a housecleaning from Dr. Philip Incao. Dr. Incao’s full article is here and I have highlighted just a couple of statements that hopefully turn your thinking ‘upside down.’ It’s good to think and be challenged when it comes to disease because it is so easy to become frightened when our kids get sick with ‘something.’

“This important fact receives far too little attention and is often totally forgotten in medicine today. Most of the trillions of germs that infect or inhabit our body from infancy onward are peacefully co-existing in us or even helping to maintain our inner ecological balance, like the acidophilus bacteria that live in our intestines. They are our normal flora. Science has also identified a small minority of germs, called pathogens, that participate in human disease, like strep, staph, TB, diphtheria, etc., but these too have surprisingly more often been found peacefully coexisting in us rather than being involved in illnesses.”

“This leads us to the question which Rene Dubos (a colleague of Pasteur), apparently alone among his colleagues, pondered for the rest of his life: if most of the time we are able to peacefully coexist with a disease germ in our body, (a fact which Pasteur did not adequately reckon with) what is it that happens when it suddenly starts multiplying rapidly and we get sick? Have our defenses weakened and allowed the germs to proliferate and go on the attack (which is the thought that frightens us so terribly) or are they merely multiplying because our body s biochemistry has been disturbed and is making available to the germs a suddenly increased supply of their preferred nourishment?”

“Our immune system is the housekeeper of our body. Usually our inner housekeeper keeps well abreast of her work quietly, escorting dead and dying cells to the exits of our body and making sure that waste matter and poisons are cleared from the body. This is the very important ongoing maintenance-housecleaning work of our immune system-housekeeper in maintaining the health and integrity of our human organism. From birth until death, this ongoing maintenance work never rests, and is responsible for our keeping healthy and free of illness. But occasionally our immune system-housekeeper determines that a deep cleaning is needed. That s when the dust flies and we get sick! If you are wondering where the germs are in this comparison of the human body to a household, they are the flies, ants, cockroaches, or the mice which live in the house s inner recesses unreached by the housekeeper and which feed on the crumbs and kitchen scraps that accumulate in the house.”

These are just some of the ideas we explore in the 12-week course. Weave homeopathic philosophy into the mix, learn about proven homeopathic remedies used in infectious disease epidemics, recognize the signs/symptoms of individual infectious illnesses…and you are prepared for what illnesses may come if you are a vaccine-free family or individual.

Natural Immunity Fundamentals with Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, immunologist.

This fall I am enrolled in a course with Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych. We’ve had one class already and it was exceptional. Author of the book Vaccine Illusion: How Vaccination Compromises Our Natural Immunity and What We Can Do to Regain Our Health, Dr. Tetyana clearly presents what immune system responses are to vaccinations and what natural immunity is all about.

I firmly believe that once you understand what the immune system is doing in an infectious illness, you can reduce or eliminate the panic or fear that accompanies a child getting sick. Nursing a sick child is hard work and caring for more than one child in an outbreak is doubly exhausting, so learning to care for the caregiver is essential.

I will be incorporating what I learn from Dr. Obukhanych into the class on the Immune System.

Enjoy Dr. Incao’s article, marvel at new metaphors, challenge your thinking, face your fears around illness, and if you are inspired, come join us for the Vaccine Free: Now What? course. Register here!

Yours in health and healing,

Donna
