Introducing homeoprophylaxis under research in relation to Group B Strep in pregnancy to help lower the incidence of of GBS during parturition and the improvement of health outcomes for both mother and child. This research will expand clinical verification of the nosode thereby adding symptomatology to homeopathic Materia Medica, while evaluating the safety and effectiveness of this approach and long-term health outcomes.

Group B Strep (GBS) and Homeopathy: Homeoprophylaxis (HPx) positively affects birth and health outcomes of the newborn child and can help reduce unnecessary overuse of antibiotics during pregnancy and parturition.

Learn the history of GBS in pregnancy, the importance of the Microbiome for long term future health, and how to enhance it with HPx, what may cause GBS disease, and how to participate in research in this topic.

We will need all Names and Emails for certificates. If you are not able to attend live, and have registered with FHCi, you will be shared the Follow-up webpage with the course content and next steps.
