Alternatives to medical vaccines

[CookiesRYum]

Just wanting to get as much info as I can about alternatives to traditional medical vaccines. Some people have suggested homeopathy, others natural herbs and some docs I have spoken it have suggested simply not vaccinating. With all due respect, I am not actually interested in anyone posting WHY I SHOULD vaccinate - there are plenty of info on that. I'm intersted in alternatives so I may try to make an INFORMED decision on my own. Thanks

Homeopathy is, basically, rubbish. No herbs can immunize. If you don't vaccinate then you choose to take the risks that entails. It's that simple.

Nothing "natural" and herbal can immunise your child against these diseases. If it was that easy, we would all be using them instead.

Technically nothing can 'immunise' anyone including vaccines. Catching the disease naturally may make you immune to it in the future.

Homeopathy as with everything alternative has its followers and its sceptics and non believers. I am really passionate about homoeopathy but as it is a modality of health that has the principal like treats like I wouldn't be administering it in the even of NO disease such as that which is required of homeopalaxis

A true classical homeopath wouldn't prescribe homeopathy to prevent a VPD but would prescribe it in the event of an outbreak.
