Cilla was recently interviewed by Ashley James of Learn True Health to discuss what to do if one should get the flu. If you are interested in hearing this interview, you can access it on the Learn True Health site or You Tube.
Here are some of the topics discussed:
Should you get the flu shot?
There are many issues with the flu shot, including the low odds of effectiveness. Cilla goes on to discuss how the flu shot detrimentally affects the immune system, with specific regard to how it compromises the innate arm of our immunity. She also goes more into depth on the inflammatory response associated with immunizations.
What can families do to prevent the flu?
Cilla recommends the use of homeoprophylaxis which builds the immune system. The remedy she recommends is Influenzinum. She references how one can take this remedy in the interview. Check out the Influenzinum CV30 survey results here.
Cilla Whatcot’s solution is Homeoprophylaxis: “Homeoprophylaxis is the use of diluted disease products to familiarize the system with the disease, prior to encountering it in nature, so that when you do encounter it in nature, you can either mount an immune response, or you can repel the disease completely.”
What to do if you get the flu?
Cilla shares many ideas and resources, most of which you will find here. There are many great homeopathic remedies for the flu that families can learn. Cilla has some great classes that address using homeopathy and cell salts for illness and the flu that are important to note. She also has a free knowledge vault that anyone can access. The vault offers an assortment of documents and videos to help people on their journey to health and wellness through homeopathy.

Pregnant women, babies as young as six months old, the immuno-compromised, and the elderly are all being told they need an annual flu shot. This has not always been the case.
Pregnant women, babies as young as six months old, the immuno-compromised, and the elderly are all being told they need an annual flu shot.
This has not always been the case. Before 2000, only the elderly were advised to receive these inoculations. And the elderly didn’t actually benefit. Researchers report that the increase in elderly influenza inoculation coverage in the U.S. after 1980 wasn’t actually accompanied by reduction in influenza-related mortality. (Read findings here.)
Let’s take a deeper look at effectiveness and safety issues, along with a natural option.
A study in the American Journal of Perinatology found that women who received flu inoculations during pregnancy had the same risk for influenza-like illness as uninoculated women. The same was true for their infants.
What About Safety?
The safety of flu shots in pregnant populations has never been adequately tested. For example:
Questionable ingredients
Many inoculations still contain thimerosal, despite claims that it’s been removed. According to the CDC, 48 million flu inoculations now available contain mega-doses of thimerosal. The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for thimerosal warns that it may cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects in humans.
In 2014, $4.9 million was paid out to individuals with adverse flu shot reactions. By 2015 they paid out $61 million, as reflected in this report from the U.S. court of Federal Claims.
Many pregnant women, hospital workers, doctors and nurses are asking for homeopathic influenzinum for natural immune boosting during flu season. Naturally sourced, influenzinum causes zero injuries. It’s safe for infants, the elderly, and pregnant women.

Lots of parents are asking questions about inoculations these days. The more answers they find, the more questions they have. Searching for a safe and effective choice has become a common goal. Many parents are finding it in homeoprophylaxis, commonly called HP. Here’s why.
1. Clean and green.
Featured in Passage to Real Immunity, the Moonen familly has found homeoprophylaxis the best choice for their family. HP is ideal for parents who ask questions and trust their intuition.
HP is made by serial dilution. This means that starting with the source material, such as mucus or biological tissue from a disease; it is then diluted over and over again until no molecules of the original substance are present. This type of ‘attenuation’ or weakening of the source material is similar to how vaccines are made, but to a much higher degree, making it very safe.
2. No foreign media.
Inoculations need to be attenuated using foreign media such as monkey kidneys, eggs, porcine (pig) tissue, or even fetal cells. These mediums contain the DNA of the source as well as any foreign viruses that may be present. We know that SV40 (Simian Virus) was delivered via the polio inoculation with some serious consequences. HP involves no such media.
3. No chemicals of any kind.
HP contains no preservatives, no adjuvants, no antibiotics, no excitotoxins, and no carcinogens. That’s saying a lot in a world where we come into contact with so many chemicals, pesticides, and substances that can overload a developing immune system.
4. No shots.
Homeopathic pellets: when the pellets touch mucous membrane, the disease is introduced in the same way that Mother Nature introduces disease.
HP is delivered by tiny pellets taken by mouth. When the pellets touch mucous membrane, the disease is introduced in the same way that Mother Nature introduces disease.
5. One disease at a time.
Just like Mother Nature intended, a developing immune system can recognize and mount an appropriate immune response to one disease at a time. HP always gives just one at a time.
6. Parents are in the driver’s seat.
Parents know their child best. They should be the ones making health decisions for a child after doing their homework. Doing something proactive is empowering. Seeing and understanding the maturation of the immune system as you learn about how to administer HP is empowering. HP is ideal for parents who ask questions and want to choose what they feel is best for their child.
7. Homeoprophylaxis is not a replacement.
The goal is to encourage children’s immune systems function at their highest potential. In this way when challenged by an environmental threat, their bodies have the capacity to find healing.
The principle behind HP is to educate the immune system to recognize disease and, either resist it or be able to mount an appropriate immune response.
For more information on the importance of educating the immune system, check out Cilla’s class on the Health Helix.
8. Disease is not the enemy.
The inoculation campaign is based upon fear – fear of disease; fear of symptoms; fear of contagion; fear the body has no natural capacity to manage illness. HP is based upon living in a compatible relationship with bacteria and viruses. They are part of our human biome; without them we wouldn’t survive. It makes more sense to live with these evolving organisms than to fight against them. We can see how over-use of antibiotics has painted us into a corner. HP is about understanding the natural human ability we possess to manage illness; that illness is the mechanism that exercises and matures the immune system. Knowing this is powerful.
9. It’s about the terrain, not the germ.
This is what Louis Pasteur said on his deathbed. He recognized that coming into contact with germs is not the reason we get sick; it’s about our susceptibility. This knowledge is the hallmark of homeopathic theory. Fortifying the individual with clean food and water and the natural gift of homeoprophylaxis is far better than suiting up with protective armor against perceived threats.
10. Homeoprophylaxis works.
No method is 100% effective. The 2016-2017 influenza inoculation was 48% effective. The pertussis inoculation is estimated to be 73% effective in the first year and 34% in the following two to four years.
Having free agency to make decisions regarding our own health and that of our children is essential. In a world where food and water are contaminated with toxins and biologically incompatible substances, it makes sense to seek out the most natural methods for optimal health. Homeoprophylaxis is one such method.
Ignaz Semmelweis (1816-1865), a Hungarian physician, died in an insane asylum in 1865 at the age of 47. He was committed for suggesting that child-bed fever and deaths were caused by germs: germs from the filthy hands of doctors who had dissected cadavers then immediately delivering babies.
The medical and scientific communities were highly offended at Semmelweis’ suggestion that they should wash their hands.
After hand-washing protocols were implemented, the mortality rate dropped from 18.27 per cent, to 1.27 per cent, to zero.
They next said germs do exist.
German microbiologist Robert Koch identified the relationship between specific germs and diseases. He devised a method for testing which germ caused which disease.
Not long after, a German and a Frenchman were revered for their “discovery” of germs.
The French wine industry engaged French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) to identify the process of fermentation. It was all about the wine. He developed ways to prevent wine from being contaminated by unwanted microorganisms. Thus, “pasteurization” was born.
Robert Koch (1843-1910), a German microbiologist, took it a step further by identifying the relationship between specific germs and diseases. He devised a method for testing which germ caused which disease, and Koch’s Postulates resulted. These four postulates are worth examining, as they inform the battle-ready stance against bugs that prevails to this day.
Koch nabbed the bacteria responsible for dreaded tuberculosis, winning him the Nobel prize for advancing this newfound knowledge that germs caused disease.
With germs as culprits, we began to inoculate.
Prior to Pasteur and Koch conducting their research, the English physician Edward Jenner (1749-1823) was experimenting with cows. He observed that milkmaids who contracted cowpox, a relatively mild disease, were immune to deadly smallpox. One such milkmaid caught cowpox from Blossom, her dairy cow. Jenner took pus from the milkmaid’s sores and rubbed it onto a scratch on a subject’s arm. His subject, James Phipps, did indeed come down with a mild case of cowpox, and this is where it gets interesting.
Jenner then intentionally infected James with smallpox. The boy’s enhanced immunity was able to resist the smallpox virus and he didn’t get sick. Presto–inoculations were invented.
The risk with using foreign media is the inevitability of also acquiring unknown viruses common to species other than humans. We have seen repercussions of this with polio inoculations containing Simian Virus 40.
Germs can now be manipulated.
At the same time, a medical doctor from Vienna, James Compton Burnett (1840-1901), expressed concern over the new practice of innoculation. Steeped in homeopathic theory, Burnett postulated that grafting a foreign disease onto the body would have far-reaching negative effects.
Inoculation exemplifies an attempt to exercise domination over all pathogens, and insulate the human biome from perceived pathogenic effects.
The human vital force evolved to acquire infectious contagious disease naturally. The innate wisdom of the vital force governs the physical body, the energy body, and the spiritual body. It has been doing an eloquent dance with the process of maturing the immune system since time began. The principle of vitalism governs this concept.
Vaccinosis is the grafting of a foreign disease onto the human being by bypassing the normal mechanism of contracting disease, which takes place through mucosal membrane. Injecting pathogens directly into the bloodstream is an unnatural introduction.
Have you noticed the increase in exaggerated forms of inflammation such as eczema, asthma, mollescum, and serious autoimmune irregularities? This is because when you impose an immune challenge containing excipients and foreign mediums, bypassing the innate arm of the immune system, the humoral arm overreacts, producing a terrifying array of compensatory responses. The individual now has unfamiliar disease grafted upon the human biome.

Manipulating germs carries terrifying risks.
This manipulation derails the brilliant design of Mother Nature and her natural evolution of immunity that’s taken place over millions of years. Burnett posited that homeoprophylaxis would be much safer and support the natural immune process. Homeoprophylaxis aims to integrate and synchronize the human species with other life forms, in the most compatible way, instead of imposing separation.
In the late 1700s Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), physician, chemist, and linguist, discovered that his patient taking homeopathic belladonna was immune to the scarlet fever epidemic to which all her family members had succumbed. With this, the first homeoprophylaxis application was discovered. It continued to work prophylactically for others and the King of Prussia mandated its use to stem future scarlet fever outbreaks.
Homeoprophylaxis collaborates with germs.
Since there is no material substance in a homeopathic remedy, it does not act in a physiological manner. Rather, it is energetic, meaning the solution contains the frequency of the source material after being diluted repeatedly until no molecules remain. And why is this important?
Manipulation carries risk, then let’s not manipulate! Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. The evolution of these microbes—bacteria and viruses–has occurred right alongside of humans. All life forms have a place and are interrelated. We will never understand the full implications of manipulating them to what we assume is our benefit.
Homeoprophylaxis honors our relationship with other organisms. Instead of manipulation, it offers cooperation. By introducing the frequency of a pathogen to the human organism, a recognition takes place. It’s like downloading information.
According to Carlo Rubbia, Italian physicist and Nobel Laureate (1984) in physics, “Less than one billionth of the universe is matter – the rest is energy and information.”
Recognition of this information provides a reference point. When the pathogen is met in nature, its frequency is recognized. Either the human doesn’t contract the disease, or a natural and appropriate immune response takes place. As studies have shown no antibody production with homeoprophylaxis, there is no artificial emphasis on the humoral arm of the immune system.
Natural immunity is the goal.
Gustavo Bracho, PhD, is an immunologist with the Findlay Institutein Havana Cuba. In 2010 he injected rats with leptospirosis after orally receiving homeoprophylaxis. Eighty percent did not contract the disease while producing no antibodies. The rat control group without homeoprophylaxis all died. Bracho and others have suggested that becoming familiar with the frequency of a disease confers all the benefits of receiving the wild disease, without the risks. Because there is nothing material in the exchange, there is no resulting chaos from manipulation through attenuation, additives, or introduction in a way other than nature’s way by contraction through mucous membrane.
Homeoprophylaxis does not manipulate.
We have a clear example of wreaking havoc by suppressing bacteria when antibiotics were the magical discovery of 1928 and in full scale use by the 1940s. Sure, they gave a one-two punch to the scourge of syphilis, but at what cost? It became too easy to simply prescribe antibiotics for every perceived infection. When you reduce one population, another expands to take its place, and here we go again. Manipulation!
This has not been the case with over 200 years of clinical observation of homeoprophylaxis. In fact, based on Isaac Golden’s 15-year study with 3000 children, more robust long-term health was observed in the HP group than in unvaccinated children. Surprisingly, they experienced fewer ear infections, allergies, and eczema.
To ensure health, we must co-exist.
We benefit from the presence of other life forms to communicate information, to digest our food, maintain homeostasis, and even shape emotional temperament. They are in, on, and around us all the time, contributing to our immune maturation and evolution.
By introducing pathogens in their energetic state, one disease at a time, there is no disruption of the natural relationship we humans share with these microbes.
We do not have all the answers. We never will. In the end, we benefit from the presence of these other life forms to communicate information, to digest our food, maintain homeostasis, and even shape emotional temperament.
Additionally, according to the endosymbiotic hypothesis, cellular mitochondria closely resemble certain bacteria and this symbiotic relationship was probably formed millions of year ago in the process of evolution.
Our relationship with all other life forms is meant to reflect respect and mutual cooperation in order to assure the balance of life itself. Relating with pathogens as information is more beneficial, less invasive, and enables peaceful co-existence.

To date, marketing for conventional immunity products has instructed us that inoculation is the only method of building a strong terrain. There is another choice. We are all in agreement that keeping our children healthy is the top priority.
Redefining Health
True health is not just a matter of producing antibodies to specific diseases. If this were the case we wouldn’t be seeing outbreaks of diseases such as mumps or pertussis in people who have gone the conventional route. True health is a multi-faceted process. It includes sometimes getting sick. Exposure to microbes teaches our immune system to recognize and mount an appropriate response to bacteria and viruses. Microbes are all around us, inside of us and on our skin. Disease is not separate from us. The complex task of keeping these microbes in balance begins on the first day of life. It happens by contact with life itself.
Health is about more than forcibly producing antibodies.
On his deathbed, Louis Pasteur said: “I was wrong. The microbe [germ] is nothing. The terrain [milieu] is everything.”
How to Educate Our Immune Systems: Homeoprophylaxis
Homeoprophylaxis (HP) addresses our terrain. It educates the immune system to recognize a disease and either repel it or mount an effective immune response. HP is the harmonious interface of microbes and the human vital force. Harmony is necessary to strike a balance and maintain homeostasis. The fear of disease is a well-wrought marketing device that promotes symptoms as the enemy.
Symptoms are nothing more than expressions of the whole organism in an attempt to correct itself and find balance to survive and flourish. When we listen to the expression and address it in a holistic way, there’s a positive outcome. We are designed, as human beings, to expand and grow and to survive. We are programmed to self-heal, given the right environment and ingredients—love, nurturing, nutrition, stimulation and challenges. Our immune systems are attuned to this process.
The perceived reduction of symptoms by use of anti-pyretics, antibiotics and other over-the-counter products is a false solution and ultimately stagnates the system at the expense of true health.
Tim, Helen, and their healthy son. Their family is featured in Cilla Whatcott’s newest documentary Passage to Real Immunity.
Homeoprophylaxis respects the natural balance between bacteria, viruses, and human beings. We have all shared this planet for millennia. We depend upon bacteria for our survival. HP provides a way to live in concert with these organisms and thrive. HP educates the immune system in a gentle way, allowing maturation to occur naturally and safely. HP is delivered by mouth, traveling through the gut where 70 per cent of all immunity resides. Used for over 200 years in many countries around the world, there has never been a death or injury from HP. Abundant evidence of its effectiveness exists.
If we agree that our children’s health is a priority, we must also agree that keeping them safe with natural forms of immunization, allowing them to inherit a sustainable planet, is essential.
