The History of Homeoprophylaxis and Review of the Evidence to Support its Efficacy

Summary

The Medical Research Council shows conventional vaccination is effective in 61–89 % of cases. Whilst NHS guidelines state that side effects from immunisations are rare, concerned parents are starting to question the effectiveness and safety of the UK immunisation policy. Some professional homeopaths offer an alternative to conventional vaccination in the form of homeoprophylaxis, where homeopathic remedies are prescribed to prevent infectious diseases. This article aims to inform homeopaths by investigating the role that homeoprophylaxis has to offer in disease prevention.

Key words
