Homeopathic Prophylaxis
(The use of homeopathic
medicines for prevention of diseases)
Homeopathic
medicines are highly effective when it comes to prevention of diseases
/ disorders.
The celebrated Dr.Kent
says :- "The
great prophylactic is the homeopathic remedy. After working in an
epidemic for a few weeks, you will find perhaps that half a dozen
remedies are daily indicated and one in these remedies in a larger
number of cases than any other. This one remedy seems to be the best
suited to the general nature of the sickness. Now you
will find that for prophylaxis there is required a less degree of
similitude than is necessary for curing. A
remedy will not have to be so similar to prevent disease as to cure it,
and these remedies in daily use will enable you to prevent a large
number of people from becoming sick. We must look to homeopathy for our
protection as well as for our cure".

Homeopathic Prophylaxis: Fact Or
Fiction Todd A. Hoover, MD
Even before the
discovery
of bacteria and viruses, physicians have long sought methods to prevent
the scourge of epidemic diseases. Amulets have been used throughout
history to help ward off illness. Coral was worn by infants to prevent
colic, a red thread worn about the neck was thought to prevent
nosebleeds, and a dried toad could be worn to ward off the plague.
Bezoar stones from the stomachs of animals were so highly praised for
their prophylactic powers that the Shah of Persia sent some to Napoleon
as a
gift.
Bonaparte, failing to see their merit, promptly threw them into the
fire as useless rocks. So have gone many of the prophylactics of old.(1)
The
search
for effective prevention from epidemic diseases has continued
into modern medicine with Jennerıs first
introduction
of the vaccination theory in 1776, and his subsequent use of cowpox
vaccination in 1798. Likewise, homeopathic practitioners from Hahnemann
to the modern day have advocated the use of potentized remedies and
nosodes as prophylactic agents. Some of the greatest successes in the
history of homeopathic medicine have been recorded during its use in
epidemics. Many have touted homeopathy as safer and more effective than
vaccination in the prophylaxis of all epidemic diseases, but what are
the facts?
Homeopathic prophylaxis began with
Hahnemann. His initial foray into preventative use of remedies was the
result of inductive genius. During an outbreak of scarlet fever, three
children of four in a family under his care became ill. The fourth, who
was usually the first to become ill, remained free from disease.
Hahnemann reasoned that since the child had been taking Belladonna
for an affection of the finger joints, she was in some way protected
from the infection. Soon afterward, in a family of eight children with
three already infected with scarlet fever, Hahnemann seized the
opportunity to test the prophylactic powers of Belladonna.
As
he had hypothesized, all five escaped the disease despite ongoing
exposure to their siblings.(2) Hahnemann continued to make frequent use
of Belladonna during this epidemic with great
success. So
great was his success that many old-school physicians adopted his
treatment protocol and began singing the praises of homeopathic
Belladonna. Dudgeon reports on ten allopaths of this time who used
prophylactic Belladonna on 1646 children with only 123 cases developed
‹ pretty strong results when the attack rates were ranging as high as
90% at the time.(3)
Hufeland, the great Protomedicus of Prussia at the time,
reviewed all the results of the prophylactic use of Belladonna
for
scarlet fever.(4) His subsequent declaration of its efficacy would be
akin to the Surgeon General of the United States recommending the use
of homeopathy in the treatment of AIDS today. Hufelandıs support of Belladonna
as a prophylactic carried so much weight that the Prussian government
made its use during scarlet fever epidemics obligatory in 1838.(5)
During
the scarlet fever epidemics, and later with cholera, Hahnemann began to
clarify his concept of Genus Epidemicus. In Aphorism 101 of the Organon
he writes,"It may conceivably happen that in the first case of an
epidemic disease that presents itself to the physician's notice he does
not at once obtain a knowledge of its complete picture, as it is only
by a close observation of several cases of every such collective
disease that he can become conversant with the totality of its signs
and symptoms."(6) And then in Aphorism 102, "All those affected with
the epidemic prevailing at a given time have certainly contracted it
from one and the same source and hence are suffering from the same
disease; but the whole extent of such an epidemic disease... cannot be
learned from one single patient, but is only to be perfectly deduced
and ascertained from the sufferings of several patients of different
constitutions."(7)
Hahnemann is laying out several
ideas in these two statements. Even before Pasteur described infectious
agents in 1865, Hahnemann describes epidemics as being generated from a
single source, a similar disease. However, he goes much further in
describing how individuals that are impacted by this infectious agent
naturally represent a variety of constitutional make-ups. Paul Herscu
has developed various models to depict Hahnemann's Genus Epidemicus in
a clinically meaningful way.(8) He describes the infectious agent, or
the similar disease, as a strain on a variety of individuals. The more
virulent the disease, the greater the strain and the more individuals
it will tend to affect. The degree to which the stress penetrates the
individual and the strength of the response of the individual will
determine the severity of the illness. The unique constitutional type,
however, will determine the exact nature of symptoms that individual
will produce.
Fig
1
Figure
1 above depicts how a similar disease will affect a variety of
individuals. Some individuals like "D" and "E" will become more ill
with many symptoms, while others like "A" and "B" may become only
mildly affected. Just as one observes during the proving of a remedy,
individuals will be affected by the stressor in a manner consistent
with how similar the stress is to their own particular constitution.
Some individuals such as "F" are so dissimilar to the disease as to
show no symptoms at all. This helps describe how some individuals
"catch" the flu one year and are immune the next; or how one year is a
"bad" flu year and not the next. In order to ascertain the Genus
Epidemicus the homeopath must carefully take the new and unique
symptoms that arise in the group of affected individuals to define the
most effective treatment. Just imagine that this group with the similar
disease is actually a single patient. As more patients are treated,
more symptoms should become apparent which only serve to further
clarify the correct remedy choice.
Hahnemann had
strong evidence from his practice and a consistent theory for the
mechanism of Genus Epidemicus, but trouble was afoot in the homeopathic
ranks. Leading homeopaths of the early 1800's, including Burt, H.L.
Chase, Pidoux, and Trousseau, began reporting that Belladonna
was ineffective in the prophylaxis of scarlet fever.(9),(10),(11)
Hahnemann retorted that what these other physicianıs were actually
treating was not the same disease that had been present in earlier
epidemics. He suggested that another Genus Epidemicus should be sought
for this obviously different disease.(12)
Later
epidemics helped reinforce Hahnemann's theories on the Genus
Epidemicus. Utilizing this approach, Clemens von Boeninghausen was very
successful during the Cholera Epidemic in Europe in 1849. Under
standard treatments of the time the death rate was 54-90%, while those
treated homeopathically had only 5-16% mortality.(13) The primary
remedies used for both prevention and treatment were Camphor,
Cuprum metallicum and Veratrum album.
The
most severe epidemic of all time was the great Influenza Pandemic of
1918. Twenty percent of the entire world population was infected and
20-40 million people died. The epidemic was so devastating that the
average lifespan in the United States was decreased by ten years.(9)
During this epidemic homeopathic medicines were used widely both for
treatment and as prophylaxis. The average mortality under standard
treatment ran from 2.5-10%, while 1% or fewer patients died under
homeopathic treatment. Gelsemium sempervirens, Arsenicum album and
Bryonia alba were the primary remedies used in the United States during
this epidemic.(14), (15),(16)
If Hahnemann was
correct, then why were several different remedies being used for the
same epidemic? The primary explanation is that epidemics tend to evolve
over time and geographic spread. Factors other than the infectious
agent will also influence the absolute nature of the epidemic. These
factors combine to form the milieu of the epidemic, and include the
weather, the political and social climate, the economics, and the
season among other factors .
While certain remedies
have been traditionally associated with a given infectious agent, they
can change from year to year and even within the same season. Various
authors have suggested many remedies as being potential prophylactics
for various infectious diseases over the years . Dr. Carol Dunham
stated it quite succinctly, "The selection of the prophylactic remedy
must, to some extent, be governed by the nature of the epidemic, and
therefore the best preventive cannot always be determined until the
epidemic has appeared, and its peculiar nature has been
ascertained."(17)
As homeopathy has evolved and
commingled with allopathy, some practitioners have shifted from an
epidemic specific model of Genus Epidemicus to a generalized approach
for homeoprophylaxis. With Jenner using a principal of prevention of a
disease based on the contraction of a similar but milder form of the
disease, it was a natural evolutionary step for homeopaths to consider
a similar use of potentized disease tissue. The choice between the
frequently severe vaccinosis that resulted from smallpox vaccination
and trying preventative doses of remedies seemed clear to the
homeopaths, given the current successes with scarlet fever and cholera.
How wonderful it would be to "vaccinate" patients against the scourge
of epidemic disease through the "safe" use of homeopathically prepared
products.
In 1830, Constantine Hering was the first
to consider the use of nosodes. Fifty years before Pasteur became
famous for using rabies vaccine, Hering suggested the use of
Lyssinum;
however, he never incorporated nosodes into his own practice.(18)
Allen, Clarke, and Kent made further mention of a number of nosodes to
be used for prophylaxis. Arthur Grimmer and Dorothy Shepherd initiated
the concept of the universal use of homeopathic prophylaxis for the
general population. Others have expanded this idea, and today there are
nosodes for nearly every endemic and epidemic disease on the planet.
Over
the past 100 years, allopathic medicine has developed vaccines for
nearly all serious epidemic diseases, and development of newer vaccines
for less severe diseases continues at a feverish pitch. In keeping with
the desire to prevent serious infectious disease and out of concern for
the side effects of vaccination, some homeopaths have developed a
parallel system of homeoprophylaxis using remedies that are either
nosodes of the specific disease or remedies that have been highly
effective in treating that disease. Some currently recommended regimens
nearly identically mirror the allopathic vaccination model, with 28
doses of 200C to 1M doses given over the first five years of life.(19)
Allopaths routinely point to antibody production and the decline of
epidemic diseases as evidence of the effectiveness of vaccination.
Vaccine manufacturers and governmental agencies have conducted
large-scale investigations into the safety of these vaccines. If
homeopathic remedies are capable of preventing epidemic disease, what
evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of this approach?
Much
of the evidence for safety and efficacy of homeoprophylaxis is
anecdotal. Dr. Grimmer reported that over 30,000 individuals received Lathyrus
sativa
to prevent polio and no one had a side effect to his knowledge.(20)
Isaac Golden reports that out of over 1300 children who received
generalized homeoprophylaxis for multiple diseases, approximately 10%
had side effects, although the majority were very mild and brief. His
results are from a survey in which only 70% of the population
responded.(21)
Several surveys have also been published evaluating the
efficacy of homeoprophylaxis. A.D Fox treated 97 children with Pertussin
to prevent whooping cough. His survey in 1987, with only 63% of the
patients responding, showed that as many as 18% may have developed
whooping cough after the treatment.(22) Golden, in the same survey
mentioned above, reported that his homeoprophylactic regimen was 89%
effective in preventing the diseases treated.(23)
Studies
during epidemics have also given some valuable information. In 1902,
during a smallpox epidemic in Iowa, Dr. Eaton reported that 2806
patients were treated with Variolinum. Of the 547
patients
who were definitely exposed, only 14 developed the disease. Overall
protection rate was 97%.24 In 1958, during an influenza epidemic in
Great Britain, 1100 workers were given prophylaxis and 500 workers were
given no treatment. There was no statistical difference in the attack
rates between the groups.25 And in 1974, during a meningococcus
outbreak in Brazil, 18,640 patients were given Meningococcinum
prophylaxis while 6,430 received no treatment. The treatment group
reported 4 cases to 32 cases in the no treatment group (23 times more
effective than no treatment).(26)
Additionally,
some evidence has been collected during controlled studies in the lab.
In 1932, Chavanon published that 45 children had changed from Schick
test positive to Schick test negative (demonstrating antibody to
diphtheria) after being treated with Diptherinum.(27)
Patterson and Boyd repeated this test in 1941, and 20 of 33 children
treated converted to Schick test negative.(28) Roux again repeated the
study in 1946 with similar results.(29)
R.K. Sur et
al, published a well-constructed study in 1990.30 Using mice treated
with carbon tetrachloride and measuring the liver toxicity with and
without the use of Lycopodium clavatum, they
produced some
interesting results. The mice were separated into several groups. Group
1 received CCL4 weekly for 4 weeks with its matching Group 2 also
receiving Lycopodium clavatum prior to the first injection of CCL4 and
weekly thereafter. Group 3 received only one dose of CCL4 with its
matching Group 4 receiving Lycopodium clavatum
several days
prior and the day of the CCL4 administration. The results revealed
equally severe liver toxicity by serum analysis of enzymes and by
pathology for both control Groups 1 and 3.
Group 2, which is actually a treatment group, since the Lycopodium
clavatum
is given in a repeated manner, showed nearly complete repair of liver
damage compared to the untreated Group 1. Group 4, which is a
homeoprophylaxed group, actually showed nearly every parameter either
unchanged or actually worse than the control Group 3. Lycopodium
clavatum showed good efficacy for treatment, but poor and
perhaps even detrimental efficacy as a prophylactic.
Wayne
Jonas provides us with the best-constructed study on homeoprophylaxis
in 1999.(31) A nosode for tularemia was tested against placebo and
allopathic vaccination in 142 mice that were subsequently infected with
tularemia. Six different potencies of the nosode were used to account
for that variable. The nosode was given before and after the challenge.
The results showed that allopathic vaccination produced 100% protection
from death. The tularemia nosode produced 22% protection compared to
placebo. Clearly the nosode had some efficacy, but much less than
vaccination.
Traditionally, clinical experience has
been the bedrock foundation of homeopathic medicine. Homeopathic
practice during massive epidemics throughout the world has been the
gold standard for showing the efficacy of potentized remedies. Time and
again during those epidemics, homeopathy proved much more efficacious
than traditional medicine, but the data from epidemics is mixed
information. Prophylactic use of remedies is often commingled with
treatment of already ill patients. Some of the data from individual
prescribers appears to be of questionable veracity; often, the
allopathic results have been misrepresented as much less effective than
reputable sources have recorded. This type of information often appears
more as slanderous attacks on allopathic medicine than as true and
accurate reporting.
But when data from the
epidemics of the past is taken as a whole, Genus Epidemicus prescribing
clearly appears to be effective. Discussions with numerous homeopaths
today reveals that this method has survived into modern practice,
primarily due to its efficacy. Moreover, the theory of Genus Epidemicus
prescribing is consistent with all primary homeopathic principles laid
down in the Organon, and proven over the past 200
years of
practice. The concept of similar disease is virtually identical to the
practice of conducting a proving. Symptoms are taken from a variety of
individuals, with varied constitutions, and summed together to form the
totality of the response to the presented stress. Although further
study on the prophylactic effect of this style of prescribing is
warranted, Genus Epidemicus prescribing should be a tool in every
homeopathıs repertoire, both for prophylaxis and for treatment.
Generalized
homeoprophylaxis, however, represents a significant departure from
traditional homeopathic doctrine. Treating mixed populations for
dissimilar diseases with the same prophylactic remedy is simply not
homeopathy. Isopathic prescriptions using nosodes with little or no
clinical proving data are based upon allopathic philosophy.
Additionally, the diseases for which these remedies are employed are
not truly epidemic, but more endemic in their nature. Truly these
diseases represent a significant threat to the individuals within a
population, and it is laudable to attempt to prevent such a scourge.
However, presenting homeoprophylaxis as a safe and effective solution
with the current paucity of evidence is reckless and misleading. By
adopting the allopathic model of prescribing, the practitioner is bound
by the rules of allopathic testing and verification. If tetanus nosode
is effective, let us test for tetanus antibodies or the clinical
application in animal models for validation. Dr. Jonas has clearly
taken the first correct step in this direction with his study of
tularemia nosode, but it is difficult to recommend a therapy with only
20% efficacy.
Proponents of generalized
homeoprophylaxis often point to the greater safety of homeopathic
remedies compared to allopathic vaccinations. Pertussis vaccine, which
has received the most headlines for vaccine-related injuries, causes
significant neurological sequelae in one patient out of 140,000.(32)
The largest homeoprophylaxis study to date has less than 2000 patients,
and it showed a frequency of side effects equal to that of allopathic
vaccination. We do not have the experience to know whether generalized
homeoprophylaxis will produce serious side effects in some individuals.
From
the clinical experience we do have, it appears that any homeopath in
practice long enough will eventually see occasional proving effects
with high-potency prescribing. Moreover, some of the most difficult
patients to treat clinically are those that have received numerous
remedies in the past. Various practitioners have reported on the
possibility of rendering a case incurable by the repeated prescribing
of poorly chosen remedies. Generalized homeoprophylaxis may create this
exact scenario.
Although unlikely, generalized
homeoprophylaxis may some day be a valuable tool for the practitioner.
Before that day will be possible, standardized, allopathic-style
prospective testing must be performed. Safety analysis that is reliable
must be obtained. Research in this area should be supported because of
the suggestion of efficacy present in the data so far. Generalized
substitution as a safe alternative to allopathic vaccination should be
avoided unless the practitioner is prepared to clarify the experimental
nature and potential risks of this approach.
Our
patients are faced with difficult decisions regarding vaccinations.
Many homeopaths have appropriately voiced concerns with the vaccination
process; however, substituting isopathic nosodes for vaccination in the
hollow promise of safety and the hope for efficacy is simply bad
medicine. Let us instead use this difficult situation to stimulate
further research in this area because, as James Tyler Kent once wrote,
"We must look to Homeopathy for our protection as well as our cure."(33)
