Pertussis outbreak at DS' school. We don't vax. What would you do? - Page 2

I agree with Panserbjorn, trying to vaccinate homeopathically is a contradiction in terms. The nosode is useful, however, if the patient is actively infected and experiencing symptoms. It can make the disease much milder, especially if used in conjunction with other remedies.

When I asked about the vaccinations, I have to admit that I really already knew that it wasn't a very good idea to use nosodes prophylactically, but I was really anxious and worried. I now have the nosode and some other remedies that are often used during whooping cough, so if they do come down with it at least I'll be ready.

Where in Washington are you? We are in Bellingham and both my kids have pertussis right now (not confirmed) and I'm wondering how in the world they picked it up. My daughter is 4 and my little guy is 6 months. The test came back negative and we're waiting on the culture but I am positive that both of them have it. It is very obvious.
