To reduce adult exposure to the virus, the Board of Health proposes that we vaccinate more children. Also, their findings reveal that the vaccine is less effective for people over 70 years of age to prevent the flu because of their already compromised immune systems.

When the body encounters a virus or bacteria, it mounts a response (symptoms) to fight it off. This immune response, in a healthy person, is what keeps us healthy and alive. It is a sign of health to have strong symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose which all act to rid the body of the pathogen.

Vaccinating healthy people against a disease that their bodies are capable of handling robs them of the chance to strengthen their immune system–because a good bout of the flu or a cold is how the body “tunes up” the immune system.

Children are not able to advocate for themselves. The push by the California Department of Health (and the rest of the country) is to “encourage” permission from parents, mostly in school settings, for their children to get vaccinated. Many people are unaware that, in California, there is a law which allows people to decline vaccinations based solely on a philosophical objection.

Everyone has the right and responsibility to advocate for his or her child’s
present and future health and to educate themselves on the pros and cons of
vaccination so informed consent can be made.

Directions for taking the remedies

1. Never take more than one remedy or potency at a time.

2. Never take a remedy repeatedly without waiting in between doses for the action to complete.

3. Dissolve them directly in the mouth. One Dose = 1-3 pellets.
Potency scale is as follows, from lowest to highest (strongest):
6C -> 12C -> 30C -> 200C(K) (This is the highest you would go without consulting a homeopath)

4. When symptoms begin to bother you, start with the lower potency of the indicated remedy, take ONE DOSE, and wait to see if there is improvement. The waiting time is dictated by the severity of the symptoms, in case of severe symptoms 10-15min. is enough, in something less severe, it may be several hours. The lower potencies (6 and 12C) may need to be repeated more often before they begin to work.

If there is improvement, do not take another dose until the symptoms return. You may take several doses in this way. If the current potency stops working, go up to the next higher potency.

If there is no improvement after 3 doses, discontinue dosing.

5. If the symptoms persist, see a doctor or consult your homeopath.

1. Reduce your exposure by avoiding going outside on windy days when pollen counts are very high, if you must then try these steps to help your body deal with the pollen:

Wear a face mask.
Wash your face when you return indoors.
Change your clothes, take a shower, go swimming.

2. Do a nasal rinse, either using a neti pot or a sinus wash squeeze bottle. Follow these simple steps to get the maximum benefit:

Use warm water with a teaspoon of sea salt dissolved in it.
For the neti pot, the position of your head is very crucial in getting the most out of the wash. Move your head around until either the water flows out of the nostril you are not pouring into, or out of your mouth. The goal of the neti pot is to wash out the sinus passages, so getting the water into them ensures this will happen more completely. Sometimes it may even come out of your eyes, and if they have been itching, you will feel immediate relief.

You may do this rinse every day, even twice a day if needed.

3. Avoid dairy products, mostly cow’s milk and cheese. While not all of us are allergic, many of us will see an improvement in allergy response simply by cutting out dairy. Even without an allergy to dairy, you may see some improvement due to the mucus producing attribute of milk.

4. Relax. Tension, emotional distress, and fatigue all contribute to physical stress on the body, and once our bodies become overloaded, that is when the symptoms begin.

5. Reduce your dependence on over-the-counter medications, which only suppress the symptoms, as much as you can. Overuse of these medications adversely affects your overall health while doing nothing to eliminate your allergy symptoms in the future. You may also find that you need more and more of these medications as time goes on.
