First, if you are in that lull period, a couple hours or a day before the cold symptoms first appear, Aconite can stop the cold before it starts and completely cure it. By the next morning you'll feel like your old self and have your energy back. The second way to use Aconite is if you've gone outside and taken a chill, or been indoors and yet, been caught in a draft. Well, that's an Aconite situation. So, if you have children like this and they come in from play looking a little peaked, or they start sleeping more, or are off their feed just a tad, give them a dose of Aconite to stop the cold before it starts.

What most people don't realize is that every vaccination continues to hammer away at our immune system. Homeopaths do not advocate immunizations, mainly because it damages the immune system. Vaccinations shock our immune system, and too many shocks can permanently damage it so that it can never get back into a state of balance with itself so that it can protect us from incoming viruses and bacteria.
