Homeoprophylaxis Facts
Homeoprophylaxis, also called HP, is the use of highly diluted substances for the purpose of educating the immune system in a gentle, non-toxic way. These are completely natural; contain no foreign cells, no antibiotics, no preservatives, no adjuvents, and no chemicals of any kind.
The goal of HP is to orally introduce safe, homeopathic versions of particular diseases in order to naturally stimulate the immune system. As a result, susceptibility to targeted diseases can be reduced and the immune system supported in its natural development.
Who Can Benefit from Homeoprophylaxis?
- Children for childhood illnesses
- Everyone for epidemic and pandemic protection (influenza included)
- Children and adults traveling to foreign countries
Why Homeoprophylaxis?
- There’s a safe way to acquire immunity naturally without the risks of vaccination.
- This method has a 200 year history
- Used around the world and endorsed by some governments
- Never caused any death, injury, or damage
- As effective or more effective than conventional vaccines
- prevents the threat of epidemics
Homeoprophylaxis Facts and Myths
Many people are concerned about vaccines and do not vaccinate. If you’re not going to vaccinate, you need to be educated on alternatives. Doing nothing is just not an option, that’s a risk nobody should have to take. Below are some basic facts about Homeoprophylaxis and potentially what it can do for you.
Vaccine Exemptions
If you have decided not to vaccinate you’re not alone. People all over the country look for exemptions from getting mandatory vaccinations. Exemptions include medical, religious and philosophical reasons. Below is a chart for your consideration:

Compare and Contrast
Even though many have called HP the vaccine alternative, there’s nothing that does exactly what a vaccine does.
On the other hand, there’s nothing that does exactly what Homeoprophylaxis does either. Homeoprophylaxis is very effective in what it does. Homeoprophylaxis is quite strong. Studies suggest ~ 90% effectiveness. This is equivalent to and/or surpasses most vaccines.
What diseases does Homeoprophylaxis cover?
There are two categories to cover here. One which involved childhood diseases, the other involved travel into places where certain diseases are endemic, or native to a certain area. If you enjoy travel, this is a list you should be aware of.
Travel HP
- Tropical diseases
- Exposure & susceptibility
- Observed for 200 years
- Easy to administer
- Dose 200c potency to last 2-4 weeks
What’s Good Research?
- A variety of methods are important. HP includes prospective and retrospective cohort studies, questionnaire studies, descriptive studies, & two centuries of clinical observation.
- Studies over long periods of time are also convincing. 200 years of clinical observation of epidemics show consistent results.

CLIENT’S TESTIMONIALS
Lisa was amazing to work with during my third pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Lisa is very knowledgeable and professional. Every visit felt like we were chatting with a friend. Lisa has a way of making you feel safe and loved. Lisa not only listens but she offers encouragement. She takes time to get to know you and your family. The support and gentle guidance during birth were fantastic!

My husband and I were looking for a specific type of midwife. She must be caring, have a sense of humor, has a connection to our Creator, trustworthy, knowledgeable, experienced and professional. After searching the area and praying about who would be the best choice to help bring my angel into the world, Lisa was exactly the midwife we were looking for. I looked forward to visits with Lisa during my pregnancy. She kept me calm and relaxed even though this was my first. Labour was enjoyable and there was laughing and talking, which was right for my husband and I. We had a very healthy girl and Lisa exceeded our wishes and we will be calling her up for our next home birth.

Lisa was the midwife for the birth of my daughter. My husband and I had decided against a hospital birth after the births of our other 2 children in hospitals. We desired a more natural and personal experience and that is exactly what we got. Lisa was like a trusted friend throughout my pregnancy. She made me feel at ease and comfortable with every step. When it came time for the birth, everything progressed according to our birthing plan. I felt cared for and safe. Lisa was encouraging and knowledgeable- she talked me through each step and took excellent care of my baby when she was born. Having Lisa as a midwife, for me, was different than a doctor because I felt like I got all of the knowledge and care that a doctor would give, but all of the encouragement and love of a friend.

My family is so thankful for Lisa. I have delivered two babies under her care and they were both very healthy with peaceful births. Lisa helped me feel comfortable going through my first pregnancy. At the traditional doctor’s office, I felt like a cog being pushed through the system and hooked up to one machine after another. With both pregnancies, I likely would have been pushed into inductions and even C-sections because my babies weren’t ready to be born at 40 weeks. Instead, I was able to have 2 natural birth deliveries for 2 very healthy babies.

I found Lisa during my third trimester after searching for many weeks for a midwife who would accept and support my plan for giving birth to my second child at home. Once my husband and I met her, we both shared the same feeling that she would be the perfect midwife to assist us with our home birth. She is very knowledgeable about the care of the mother and child during pregnancy and makes appropriate suggestions when needed without leaving you feeling powerless over your options and decisions.
