Sneezy, Wheezy Springtime Woes

With the vast amount of resources on the Internet now and with so much more information on it about homeopathy, there is plenty to share with you. My objective is to help save you time by having the most up-to-date information I can find and to make sure that the information I share with you is from the most reliable sources.

Here you will find everything you need to learn about homeopathy, vaccination issues and choosing to be vaccine free, and childhood illnesses and using homeopathy.

Also included are articles, websites, and books that talk about the link between vaccines and autism. The links to these sites and articles are the best of the best that I have discovered over my decade of research.

One of the biggest criticisms facing homeopathy in the 21st century is that ‘there is no scientific proof that homeopathy works’. Those who understand how homeopathy works have often replied to this challenge by stating that homeopathy is individualized medicine…and it is. BUT…there is now more and more evidence-based scientific research (conventional research standards) to support the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment in cancer and other chronic illnesses. And there is one person who has brought all the research together in one Internet resource, Dr. Saurav Arora. So for those of you who love research and are willing to wade through the technical terms and for those who love to share this kind of research for the skeptics in your life, check out www.audesapere.in!

Also, please check out the events page to see when the next Vaccine Free: Now What? course is being offered as we will discuss many of the topics below in more depth during the 12-week teleseminar.

Vaccination Issues: Links to the Most Reputable Websites

www.doctorrmosk.com/Site/Richard_Moskowitz,_M._D..html
[Website of Dr. Richard Moskowitz, MD. The website is very easy to navigate and I would especially recommend his articles. Please note that he has an excellent book on homeopathy, pregnancy and childbirth for those of you who are looking for ways to use homeopathy during the beginning of your child’s life.]

www.whale.to/vaccine/mosk.html
[Article by Dr. Richard Moskowitz, MD titled “Unvaccinated Children.” Of interest is Dr. Moskowitz’s choice of using vaccinated/unvaccinated as opposed to immunized/non-immunized. Read the article to know why!]

www.novaccine.com/links.asp
[This site (the home of World Association for Vaccine Education or WAVE) has some of the most up-to-date information on all things vaccine and freedom of choice-related, with an impressive list of board members. You will find links to some of the best research currently published.

“The World Association for Vaccine Education (WAVE) is globally focused, non-profit, educational institution advocating reformation of the mass vaccination systems. To this effect, WAVE provides an avenue for a public exchange of non-medical vaccine information, ideas and a continuously updated database of documents that concern vaccine risk and uselessness. It’s intent is to redress the balance of information available to parents on vaccination issues, acknowledge people who experience vaccine reactions, and adamantly advocate and maintain freedom of choice.
 
Our Mission
The World Association for Vaccine Education (WAVE) promotes independent thinking, personal responsibility, and social evolution. We are dedicated to the prevention of vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and awareness.”

This website will also save you a tremendous amount of time re: vaccine ingredients. They are all listed!]

www.vran.org
[Vaccine Risk Awareness Network is the Canadian “go-to” website for information on all things vaccine related. Do read the “About Us” section as it gives you the background information on this organization and what they are about.]

www.nvic.org
[This is THE premiere website for vaccine information on the Internet. Barbara Loe Fisher, the parent of a vaccine damaged child, established this organization in the 1980’s, the same decade that I vaccinated my own children, because that is what “good” parents did, without question. Please note…this website is about information, education, and prevention—whether you choose to vaccinate or not—and this organization is all about freedom of choice. In Canada, we are free to choose. In the US, more and more, choice is being mandated by government.

“Our Mission
The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is dedicated to the prevention of vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and to defending the informed consent ethic in medicine.
 
As an independent clearinghouse for information on diseases and vaccines, NVIC does not advocate for or against the use of vaccines. We support the availability of all preventive health care options, including vaccines, and the right of consumers to make educated, voluntary health care choices.”]

www.liferesearchuniversal.com/vaccine.html
[This is one of the first articles I read about a parent’s concern about vaccine safety. It made sense to me. It is written by Alan Phillips, now one of the board of directors for WAVE. Do be sure to follow the last link at the end of the article. It has a list of vaccine ingredients.]

www.avn.org.au
[This is the Australian information website for vaccine safety and freedom of choice… Lots of information here.]

books.nap.edu/books/0309083281/html/index.html
[This is a medical research document written by medical professionals. Their conclusions from the study  (Immunization Safety Review): there is a strong link between multiple vaccinations in baby’s first year and other infections (cause and effect) and that more work needs to be done in understanding how a baby’s immune system works (there is insufficient medical work done in this area). Read it and let me know what you think.]

www.whale.to/a/amy_lansky.html
[Amy Lansky, PhD, whose son Max was diagnosed as being autistic and who no longer has that diagnosis, has written a wonderful book called The Impossible Cure: the Promise of Homeopathy. Amy’s background is as a computer science researcher with NASA. Now she is a homeopath. Be sure to follow the recommended links on this page…Amy has some important things to say!]

www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm
[Sheri Nakken, former nurse and classical homeopath, has devoted hours of research on this subject. Her online email classes are extremely affordable and there is a tremendous amount of reading material (her website has as many, if not more, links than the whale.to site!), so my advice is to read it when it arrives in your mailbox. At the end of the course, you will have amazing materials to share should you offer classes to parents.]
