Homeopathic Prevention of Swine Flu


What Not to do: (see right)
What to do:
There are a few different methods of using homeopathy for prophylaxis. My preferred choice is to take homeopathic Gelsemium 12c or 30c once weekly during an epidemic. The next step would be if you find that you've been exposed, or being on an airplane these days might qualify for a remedy boost, you take a single dose of homeopathic Arsenicum 30c. Arsenicum has been coming up as the remedy of choice for this recent flu, matches the symptoms well and can be used preventatively.
Some homeopaths are recommending Oscillococcinum, but I prefer the specific remedies listed above. Remember, homeopathic remedies are extremely dilute, and do no harm.
Please refer to this website for more information on specific remedies:http://www.hpathy.com/diseases/Swine-flu-symptoms-treatment.aspThe page also tells of the 1918 pandemic, and how homeopathy helped so many.
Here is another link for the National Center For Homeopathy Flu Forum:http://nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org/services/fluforum/index.jsp
There is a list of helpful articles on the flu there. It's important to note that homeopathic remedies are chosen based on the symptom picture, not the specific virus or bacteria or diagnosis,so it allows more flexibility in prescribing than the drug companies have with their anti-virals, that prove ineffective if the strain is drug resistant.
