Hi LisaAnna,

Thankyou so much for replying.

The safest, best solution would be to have a trained homeopath at hand to act on symptoms as they arise (lyme, flu, cold, etc) and heal the child appropriately, but that isn't really our environment. Perhaps in some situations giving the nosode would be the better of a few non-optimal choices?

If I innoculate - this is non-homeopathic and places a stress on the childs system but maybe it will prevent lyme. The negative consequences of the nosode is hopefully less than the consequences of lyme not adequately diagnosed.

If I don't innoculate I risk the children getting lyme. We already suspect that they may have an increased vulnerability to contracting it and we are also living in a high risk area. This is very real to us as we have seen first hand the devastating results of undiagnosed cases of lyme within our immediate family.

If they get lyme the first person to treat them will be me. I usually handle the flu's, bites, rashes etc that they get. I won't necessarily analyze the case right, recognize the lyme, or make the right choices to resolve it.

The next thing that would happen, if I couldn't resolve their sickness, is that we would bring them to an allopathic physician. The allopathic physician may well miss the diagnosis or it may take several months before the diagnosis is made correctly.

So maybe, even though the lyme nosode isn't the best choice in our particular situation it may be the best of several not perfect choices?

Just some thoughts,
I'm very interested in what you think,

Thanks!
