Question:

Hi Lorene,

My sister and I are taking off to the Pacific side of Costa Rica in January and we’re trying to make a decision whether or not to get the Malaria pill treatment/vaccine. We both really don’t want to go that route, but because of the severity of Malaria and the fact that it isn’t always curable, we need to either make that choice or know our other options. I thought you’d be the perfect person to ask if you have any informational references, websites, or personal experience you could share, as we would always prefer to go the natural route. If you have a moment, any information would be very much appreciated.

Hope you are well and life is bountiful… my Mom says hello Thanks for your time.

Answer:

Glad that you are questioning. I have several Vaccination articles, all of which you can read on Vaccine archives:https://www.NaturalPathRemedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/vaccines/ .

From my 30 years of research into vaccines, I have never been convinced that their effectiveness outweighs their possible side effects.

In this article, https://www.NaturalPathRemedies.com/blog/healthy-solutions/crisis-management/safe-vaccine-alternatives/, you will see what we use as safe alternatives to vaccines. We usually take HRP-C and or Olive Leaf extract with us, and always Silver Gel.

On a personal level, we have never done vaccines, even when traveling extensively in Costa Rica, Thailand, Bali, Fiji. We keep our immune system healthy, and carry a herbal first aid kit. As this does not appear to be on my website blog, I will email you this separately. Some people we know have done the malaria pills and got sick from them; said they would not do it again.

For Malaria, your best prevention is to not get bitten by mosquitoes, so screens on windows and/or bed nets are important, especially if you are in the jungle. Most well travelled, tourist areas spray to control.

A natural insect repellant, which you can make with Lavender and Tea Tree Oil in Aloe Vera Gel is good to have. It also doubles as healing for sunburns, cuts, rashes or other wounds.

For more research, this article lists many good websites: https://www.NaturalPathRemedies.com/blog/healthy-solutions/vaccines/vaccination-research-websites-and-books/

If one of you is still concerned, there are also homeopathic Malaria “vaccines”, but we have never felt the need to use them; so if still concerned check them out – a better option, in my opinion, than medical vaccines. Hopes this helps!
