In an online article Dr Larry Malerba, D.O., DHt, – “a physician, educator, author and Clinical Assistant Professor at New York Medical College” has reviewed the medical options open to physicians in the US – when it comes to treating the rising numbers of pertussis (Whooping Cough) in the US.

He believes that there aren’t many effective options open to those using a conventional medical approach and exposes the fallacy that this rise in cases is due to the increasing numbers of unvaccinated children – when the statistics actually show that  the large majority of cases are contracted by those who have already been vaccinated.

He argues against the latest medical advice being promulgated that children should be vaccinated again (to boost immunity to pertussis) – and that pregnant women, teens and adults should get vaccinated – when in his own clinical experience he has found that homeopathy is a viable option for pertussis.

He examines not just his own experiences with using homeopathic remedies to treat Whooping Cough, but also notes that “There are thousands of homeopathic practitioners across the globe who can testify to similar results.“

He goes on to say that, “to dismiss a treatment for an illness that has no other effective therapy — primarily because of a lack of research studies published in conventional medical journals that “prove” its effectiveness — demonstrates an anti-scientific attitude that, in actuality, amounts to a form of inflexible and uninformed prejudice”.

He does explain that patients with Whooping Cough must go to a properly qualified homeopath – as different remedies may be required for different patients. He does go on to discuss the effectiveness of six different homeopathic remedies for this condition (all of which are FDA regulated in the US):
