Basic Overview of Homeoprophylaxis Program
This program is modeled after a program developed in Australia in 1986 by Dr Isaac
Golden. The program has been subjected to a 15 year clinical trial, the results of which,
including the safety and efficacy of Homeoprophylaxis, are published in Dr. Golden’s
recent publication; Homeoprophylaxis- A Fifteen Year clinical Study. With his permission
we have adapted his program to reflect the needs of families here in the US and
internationally.
It is with eager dedication that we make this homeopathic program available to our
clientele and local population for the safe prevention of infectious contagious diseases. In
addition, we too wish to generate further statistical information that validates
Homeoprophylaxis as a viable method of disease prevention. As your participation in this
program is a part of a research project your attention to detail and compliance with the
protocol is very important.
Accordingly, it is of our hope that your voluntary participation in utilizing this program for
your children will serve to protect your children from infectious contagious disease.
Furthermore, your participation and the data received from you will be applied towards the
general momentum for establishing Homeoprophylaxis on a statewide or federal basis.
Supplied with the program are sufficient remedy doses for one or two children to complete
4 years of Homeoprophylaxis (HP) to the most commonly vaccinated diseases. Additional
remedies in the Supplemental Program may be added to the Main Program if there are
special circumstances or needs. (i.e., for foreign travel, special concerns, or disease
outbreaks) Additional remedies for the Supplemental Program may be purchased
separately according to the attached fee schedule. The nosodes selected for the Main
Program are based on current disease prevalence and or risk factors. If the incidence of any
of the diseases not included in the Main Program increases, it is possible to add the
pertinent additional remedies.
The goal of HP is to introduce into the human system the energetic components of
particular diseases in order to stimulate the immune system. Homeopathic Nosodes, such
as the remedies included in the kit provided, are potentized preparations of the relative
disease germ or discharges produced to that particular germ. Upon repetition of the
particular remedy it is understood that some aspect of susceptibility to the particular
disease has been fulfilled. Some research has demonstrated that after completion of
programs like this blood titers have demonstrated antibody levels which indicate
immunity. Blood titer draws are not a required aspect of this program. However, if you are
so inclined to determine your child’s immunity they can be ordered under the care of your
general practitioner. Please indicate on the questionnaire forms if you have had blood titres
drawn and their results.
Parents may choose to be under the supervision of their own homeopath while on this
program. Please notify your homeopath of your intentions to do so and have them sign
your Status Sheet. Both Kate Birch and Cilla Whatcott, offer support and ongoing training
for your local Homoeopathic practitioner for any questions you may have. Remember that
not all Natural Therapists have been trained in the use of Homeoprophylaxis. Adverse

reactions are rare, however if your child strongly reacts to any medicine, contact the
homeopath overseeing your program before giving any more doses of that medicine.
REACTIONS TO REMEDIES IN THE KIT: Occasionally a child will react to a
particular medicine in the Kit. These reactions are NOT toxic reactions, but represent a
clearing effect. They are typically very mild and short lasting (such as a cough, a mild rash,
or restlessness for 24 hours or less). Reactions are a good sign and usually indicate that
there is some affinity of the child to the remedy given. If you believe your child has
reacted to the first single dose, please contact the overseeing homeopath before giving
the triple dose the following month so that we can evaluate the type of reaction that
has occurred.
Four important points to consider are:
(1) The enclosed Program is designed for those parents who have made the decision not
to vaccinate their children, but who would like to employ a safe alternative method of
protection.
(2) No method of protection can be guaranteed 100% perfect. If your child is likely
to be exposed to a definite source of infection to disease other than those listed in the Main
Program then refer to the Supplementary Program for that particular illness as shown
below.
(3) The Programs are flexible. If you start late, give the remedies in the order shown,
one remedy every month, ignoring the gaps in the program, until you have caught up with
the ages of administration on the Basic 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. Accordingly the nosode of the previously vaccinated against
disease may in fact help to clear any negative results of the vaccination and/or increase the
efficacy of the partial vaccine series.
(4) Some parents choose not to give the remedies for the normally mild diseases such as
Measles, knowing that the disease itself provides the most certain protection against later
infection. Or, if there are diseases that you feel have become obsolete or your child has
outgrown the risk period of that particular disease the respective nosode may be dropped
from the list. You may also change the order of remedies if you wish depending on
circumstance or need, or, to add in other remedies (such as for Hepatitis B or
Influenzinum, etc) anywhere in the program that you wish. Please be sure to note any
changes in the Status Sheet.
Directions for Homeoprophylaxis Program (HP)



The first month consists of a single dose (a dose consists of two pillules of the indicated
remedy) of the named remedy.
You only give ONE DOSE of two pillules PER MONTH. This does not mean a dose a
day for one month.
If the child does not experience an intense reaction to the first dose given then 2-4 weeks
later a series of three repeated doses (also referenced as: triple dose) of the same remedy
can be given within a 24 hour period. (Example: Give a dose of A1 in the morning, at
night, and the next morning OR give a dose in the evening, the next morning, and later that
evening).

2-4 weeks later, the next remedy is to be administered. Continue through the remedies as
listed the subsequent weeks and months
Within this program, the first dose is a single dose of the 200C, then 2-4 weeks later a
triple dose of the 200C follows (200, 200, 200, as per Status Sheet). The 10M potencies
are given in triple dose within a 24 hour period then repeated again in the triple dose with
the next cycle of remedies (10M, 10M, 10M).
o During the first 16 months the remedies are administered in a 200C potency while
the third and fourth dosing of the same remedies over the subsequent 3 years are
accomplished with the 10M
o The first dose of the remedy is given in a 200C potency to create a resonance with
the child and initiate immune system reactivity. The triple dose is to ensure that the
resonance with that particular nosode is engaged on a deeper level. The third and
fourth doses in the 10M potency are utilized for longer and more complete
fulfillment of the susceptibility and subsequent antibody production.
The remedies are best given 30 minutes to 1 hour either side off eating, drinking (including
water), brushing teeth, etc. (If it is less than 30 minutes the remedies may be antidoted.)
Do not handle the pillules. Absolute cleanliness of utensils (e.g., spoon or glass) is
essential. The utensils should be thoroughly washed in hot water and air dried.
o Tip the pillules onto the lid of the container and either directly pour into child’s
mouth or pour onto a spoon and into your child’s mouth.
o If you feel that your child is too young to safely suck two pillules, dissolve the
pillules in 1 oz. of room temperature water, stir vigorously, and give a teaspoon of
the liquid as a dose. The pillules may also be crushed to a fine powder with a
spoon on a plate. Touching some of this powder to the child’s tongue will be a
sufficient dose.
Status Sheets: After you have given your child a remedy; please complete the Status
Sheet with the appropriate data including any reaction to the remedy.
Illness Journal and Notes: If your child comes down with an illness (a cold, flu, etc.)
please note the appropriate information on the Illness Journal and Notes.
NOTE:
o If your child is sick at the appointed time of the next dose, wait until three
days after the sickness has resolved prior to administering the remedy.
o If your child remains sick for more than a week consult your supervising
homeopath prior to giving HP remedies.
o HP remedies may be given along with constitutional care. Please list on the
Illness Journal and Notes which prescription, non-prescription, or remedy
is/are given and dates. Please also indicate which was most effective/curative.
HP remedies may be suspended and resumed if constitutional needs out-weigh
prophylaxis needs.
Storage and Use
 Remedies can be administered out of sequence if your child comes in contact with an
outbreak or as different viruses arise (such as measles, mumps, whooping cough, chicken
pox, etc.)

 If handled correctly the remedies can be expected to last for years. However, because the
remedies are in a potentized or dynamic energy form, they can be rendered ineffective
unless the following are observed:
o If some of your remedies are antidoted or reduced to null (e.g. spilt on the floor)
these may be replaced by ordering more remedy as per the fee schedule
o Keep the remedies in a cool, dark place, away from extreme light, temperature
changes and strong odors (e.g. perfumes and liniments), and strong electrical
fields.

Glossary of Terms
Antidote: When the action of the remedy is stopped short by some external means. In some
individuals, certain substances have been known to interrupt the remedy action. Antidoting
factors also are dependent upon much time has passed since the person took the remedy when
exposed to an antidoting agent. Substances which have been known to antidote remedies are as
follows: coffee, mint, strong smelling oils, tea tree oil, rosemary oil, camphor, eucalyptus.
Remedies can also be antidoted if the person is exposed to electrical charges, such as electric
blankets, dentist drilling, airplanes, radiation, or x-rays. Remedies can also be rendered
ineffective prior to consumption if exposed to sunlight, radiation, strong smells, getting wet,
dropping on the floor.
Dose: An amount of medication to be taken at one time.( i.e., 2-5 pellets of a single remedy)
Repeating the remedy means repeating the dose. Single dose means give 2-3 pellets once. Split
dose means to repeat the 3 pellets once shortly after, anywhere from 5 minutes to 24 hours.
Extended dose is to repeat in successive intervals over several hours. Triple dose refers to
repeating the remedy 3 times in 24 hours.

Updated July 2012
Homeoprophylaxis: Use of a homeopathic remedy for the purpose of preventing disease.
Remedies are not chosen according to symptom similarity of the person but rather as to their
direct relation with the disease in question. Homeoprophylaxis (HP) can be achieved with a
nosode (see below) of the disease or a single remedy that is known to have a particular affinity
for that disease. (i.e., Belladonna for scarlet fever, Lathyrus sativus for polio, Ledum for
tetanus, etc.)
Homeopathy: Derived from the terms ‘Homeo’ which means similar and ‘Pathos’ which means
pathology. Refers to the practice of medicine where an agent that can cause a set of symptoms
has the ability to cure that same set of symptoms.
Nosode: A homeopathic attenuation of pathological organs and/or tissues, causative agents, or
disease products from infected individuals such as discharges, excretions, and secretions.
Pillules: Refers to the actual round white pellets given to your child throughout the HP program.
Potency: The process of repeated dilution and succussion in the making of a homeopathic remedy.
Remedy: Any substance that has been Potentized according to The Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of
the United States (HPUS). A homeopathic remedy is a remedy that can produce symptoms
similar to the symptoms a person is experiencing. A Remedy is only homeopathic if it is used
according to homeopathic principles regardless of potency.
Remedy Action: Refers to the remedies action upon the body and the response of the body to the
remedy. The greater the susceptibility the person has to the remedy, the greater its likelihood
to cause a reaction. Therefore, the desired effect after taking a remedy is remedy action as the
remedy is resonating with the body and stimulating it to respond. Remedies which do not have
any affinity to an individual will not produce an action. In accordance with homeopathic
principles, as remedies are employed to enhance the healing mechanism of the body, there are
no side-effects of the medicine other that the overall beneficial effects. After consumption of a
remedy there may be an aggravation of existing conditions, but know that if a remedy has the
ability to produce a condition it has an equal and opposite ability to ameliorate that same
condition.
Titer: An antibody titer is a measurement of how much antibody an organism has produced in
relation to a particular antigen (pathogen). The ELISA Western blot test is a common means of
determining antibody titers.
