Views on Vaccination

Are Homeopaths opposed to vaccinations?

There are different schools of thought about this within the homeopathic community. Some Homeopaths support vaccination. Others are concerned that the long-term effects of vaccination on the immune system are not fully known and therefore not taken into consideration in cost/benefit calculations. There is evidence within the mainstream medical literature that vaccination may predispose towards auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

NZCH believes that:

• Parents have a right to make their own informed choice about whether to vaccinate their child or not.
• More research is needed to elucidate the long-term balance of costs and benefits arising from vaccination.

Can Homeopathy help people who have had a severe reaction to a vaccination?

Yes there are many recorded cases of people making dramatic recoveries with homeopathic medicines following a bad reaction to a vaccination. Expert advice from a registered homeopath is usually required.
