homeopathic vaccination

Dear Homeopaths,
I am becoming very interested in homeopatic approach, and I am concerned about side effects of vaccinations. I would very much appreciate a response from you.
Here are my questions:
can the immunity obtained by using homeopathic vaccine be detected by the conventional tests (e.g. hemagglutination inhibition tests)?
Can you provide references to some research studies done with these vaccines? Being a researcher myself, I would be able to understand technical details and I always prefer having maximum information about any medical treatment that I am considering. On the other hand, if there is no real study it does not necessary mena I don't believe in it. Perhaps you could tell about some cases when a person immunized by homeopathics was undoubtedly subjected to (or perhaps even inoculated with) the pathogenic agent and remained free of the disease?

I am particularly interested in rubella. I am considering using rubella nosode for prophylactics during pregnancy. I am not pregnant now, don't have immunity against rubella and don't want to get vaccinated.
Would you recommend using the nosode before getting pregnant, as a profilactics, and if so, when and how should I start? I understand that you probably advise me to go to the practitioner. I will definitely do so before taking any nosodes. Right now I would like to hear opinions of as many homeopaths as I can.

Thanks a lot. I am really looking forward to getting the information.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

homeopathy basically treats the natural disease with an artificial one "extinguishing the natural disease" in the words of the founder Hahnemann. If you take a remedy for something which does not exist yet, thats not homeopathy. On the other hand, Hahnemann did treat epidemic diseases prophylactically see his writings on genus epidemicus but he did not use a nosode.
I dont believe (at this time) nosodes are effective but who knows, this may ,like everything,change too.

also I believe that the rationale for nosodes is the "plugging up" of the holes in the vital force so that the natural disease cannot enter. Based on this assumption, people & animals take nosodes at various schedules and increasing potencies with a maintainance dose every few months. My 2 cents is that, homeopathy is let like be cured by like; similar remedies..use of nosodes would be "same" remedies.Big difference.

pls. disregard my 2 cents statement. I was thinking about homo-pathy or isopathy which is "same".
Nosodes are not made from the offending bacteria or virus but are what is used is the by-products of their action(although on obtaining body fluids or discharges, or infected organ parts for nosode preparation, they include the organism.) e.g. part of a tuberculous lung or sputum for tuberculinum nosode

I to am interested in nosode alternatives to vaccination. I have heard of titre being raised but then it disappeared upon further testing. The TX Health department wants those who are waiving vaccinations to get official forms from them. AR has disallowed even religious exemptions. Who knows of any funding that will support a study? If private individuals are willing to ban together, I am in. Contact me.
