Episode 12: Homeoprophylaxis with Dr. Isaac Golden

What is homeoprophylaxis, and why has it become such an important part of Dr. Isaac Golden's work? In this episode of the Homeopathy247 Podcast, Mary Greensmith speaks with Dr. Isaac Golden, a long-time homeopath and researcher who has spent decades studying homeoprophylaxis and homeopathic approaches to immunisation. Isaac shares how he first discovered homeopathy, what led him to focus on this specialist area and why he believes parents should have access to clear information when making health decisions for their families. What Is Homeoprophylaxis? Isaac explains homeoprophylaxis as a homeopathic approach that has historically been used with the intention of supporting protection against infectious disease. He talks about its history within homeopathy and how his own work developed into a structured programme that he has studied and written about over many years. The conversation also explores the difference between using homeoprophylaxis during an epidemic and following a longer programme. Researching Homeoprophylaxis A large part of Isaac's homeopathy education and professional work has focused on gathering and analysing data. He discusses completing a doctorate based partly on his own long-term observations and research, as well as his involvement with projects and practitioners in countries including Cuba and India. Isaac also explains why he has tried to make his research available through books, articles and educational resources for both practitioners and parents. How His Personal Journey Began Isaac's interest in the subject began after concerns about the health of one of his own children following vaccination. That experience encouraged him to learn more about natural medicine before eventually discovering homeopathy. After reading Hahnemann's writings about the historical use of Belladonna during scarlet fever outbreaks, Isaac became particularly interested in preventative applications of homeopathy. Supporting Individual Health Decisions Mary and Isaac also discuss how families may have very different circumstances and priorities when considering immunisation. Isaac describes his role as helping parents understand the approach he teaches rather than assuming that every family will make the same decision. The episode also touches on his work with people who have concerns about symptoms occurring after vaccination. Continuing Research and Education After decades of working in the field, Isaac continues to write, teach and collect information. He has produced resources for both parents and professional homeopaths and believes that continued research and open discussion are important parts of developing understanding around homeoprophylaxis. Key Takeaways Dr. Isaac Golden has worked with homeopathy since the 1980s. Homeoprophylaxis is a homeopathic approach historically proposed for disease prevention. Isaac completed doctoral research connected with his work in this area. He has studied and written about homeoprophylaxis for several decades. His personal family experience played an important role in the direction of his work. He believes parents should have access to information when considering their options.
