Informed Consent and Natural Immunity Courses is the flagship course at Authentic Resistance with the Health and Disability Commissioner Act (HDC) as it’s framework. The facilitators unpack the HDC history and examine the intention behind the words “informed consent” particularly as they relate to the subject of vaccination/immunisation.
The morning session goes on to piece together some historical aspect of vaccine manufacture, the New Zealand Immunisation
schedule and the components that make up vaccines.
After lunch the course centres on how to build and maintain natural immunity and the huge health benefits of human milk for mother and child. The microbiome, how to manage childhood fevers and common childhood illnesses are discussed. Good nutrition and a healthy home is encouraged. The safety of antipyretics and antibiotics are examined with the view to using alternatives that carry less risk.
The safe and effective use of Vitamin C is explained with instructions for correct and safe dosage.
Specifically the afternoon session focuses on the signs and symptoms of measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough and tetanus. Information on traditional and evidence-based naturopathic treatments for common illnesses and the basis of how to prepare a home first aid kit is provided.
This course is interactive with the use of scenarios, discussion and group activities to ensue the learner takes away more than simply handouts.
Feedback from previous courses say the meeting of like-minded families is a real plus and the information is a welcome alternative to the pharmaceutical option.
