Healthy Immune Response

When your child’s immune system gets to complete its full process from beginning to end, it not only fights off illness, it can also boost their growth in amazing ways. You might notice big leaps in talking, walking, problem-solving, and social skills.

Some children with developmental delays have had the process cut short with the use of antipyretics (especially around vaccines and fevers).

Our goal in Homeopathy is to help the body fully complete the healthy immune response cycle, and this can often get natural development back on track.

Although constitutional care and Homeopathic Detox Therapy are vital and directly contribute to restoring the immune response cycle, equally important is trusting the process.

Here’s how the process works:

1. Exposure: Germs enter through the mouth, nose, skin, or digestive tract. This wakes up the body’s “first responder” defenses.

2. Early Stage (Prodrome): The body knows something’s up, but symptoms aren’t obvious yet. Your child might be cranky, need more cuddles, sleep differently, or eat less.

3. Chill: Feeling cold or shivery means the body is raising its temperature to fight. It even uses stored calcium to help protect the brain during fever.

4. Fever: The body turns up the heat to slow down germs.

• Viruses usually need a moderate fever.

• Bacteria often require a higher fever to be defeated.

5. Antibody Action: The immune system creates special “germ-fighting keys” (antibodies) to lock onto the invader and stop it.

6. Clearing Out (Eruption/Discharge): The body gets rid of the “germ-and-antibody package.” This might look like a rash, a runny nose, or a loose cough. This step can be blocked if fever is stopped too early with medication—especially after a vaccine.

7. Resolution: As the fever breaks, your child sweats, rests, and their deeper immune system (T cells) cleans up any infected cells.

And that’s the full cycle—body back to health, stronger and wiser!
