Hello Beachrose,
Well, it's kinda sounding like you're trying to convince yourself...bless your heart.
I can totally understand the predicament you find yourself in. Having said that, I've been in similar circumstances with a very sick child (on more than one occasion) where I was absolutely beside myself with worry - not having a homeopath at hand, and not knowing how to help my child. And, we got help here (long ago); there was a lot of support -- and we got through it. And, I'm not talking about a simple cold either. Now, we have a homeopath who we consult by phone and that works great for us (she's sees us whenever we're in her area occasionally).

Basically, I cannot, in good conscience say "yeh, okay, immunization ('homeopathic' or otherwise) is the least of the evil options - so go for it" because I know all too well how damaging it can be. If you compromise their little systems by treating them before they come down with lyme-like symptomalogy - then you are actually inhibiting their own (already weakened?) defenses. Can you see what I mean?

I'd say you're better off leaving them alone -- making sure their diets are healthy; making darn sure you check them for ticks during the tick season. Watch carefully for any symptoms and at the very first hint of anything - consult a homeopath -- be it in person or online.

Online is never my first option, but it's a heckuva lot better than going some 'immunization' route that compromises their cases at best, and doesn't work, for the sake of 'ease'. Believe me -- it won't put your mind at ease, because you ALREADY have nagging doubts about this route (rightly so)!! Hans Weitbrecht is a very effective homeopath; and he takes online cases (first he assess them before accepting the case) -- so maybe an alternative like this would be the best route to take. And, there are a few others who are good too....you could ask for recommendations here of who's really had good results with whom...just be very selective, would be my advice.

I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear. I do understand your situation, though! Best wishes,
Lisa
