This means that any treatment that is said to be a homeopathic
vaccine is not a safe practice and does not come with the authority of The Council
of the Faculty of Homeopathy.
The suggestion that homeopathic treatments can be affective
against child hood diseases has its origins in animal studies of ‘nosodes’
these are homeopathic preparations of the germs which cause the disease. However
there is no evidence currently that suggests nosodes are effective in humans.
Protection may also come as a result of herd immunity rather
than the effects of the homeopathic medicine. Herd immunity occurs if enough
people in a community are immunised against certain diseases. For example if
a childhood disease is spread by person to person contact and some children
don’t get immunized these children may not get the disease as enough people
have been immunized to stop the bugs spreading from person to person.
However, this is not a reliable level of protection because
if children are not immunized or immunization levels decrease the disease is
likely to spread again and cause outbreaks.
Some general practitioners are also homeopaths so if your GP
specialises, do ask them for advice or referral to a GP specialist.

There is no evidence that homeopathy
can be used to immunise children.
