Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 well, I can tell you the Vit c helped alot here. ALso when i took my dd 5 mo old at the time to the Dr HE said is there any sign the other kids arfe getting it I said Why they are vaxed He said yes but there are many strains od pertussis and there vaccines are starting to wain by this time they are just as suseptable Luckliy they didnt get it. But i can tell you 2 yrs ago I had a cough so bad i broke 2 ribs would sit up in beds and practiclly cough up a lung At this point in my life i was ignorant to the vaccine issue and Dr said I had bronchitis. And I always had BAD coughs as a kid. So this is a weak spot in my system i have passed to my daughter. So I am sure that it was pertussis i had I honesty feel for any of you going through pertussis right now it was not a fun time I dont ever and hope not to see it again. If any of you need just to talk give me a hollar. I know there were a few of you i talked to daily that helped me through all this.( Thanks Phyliss and Sara.)

There just isn't lasting immunity from any bacterial disease usually. ie strep, staph, etc. That's why vaccines for bacterial diseases is such a joke. " Pertussis is caused by the gram-negative bacillus B. pertussis, a strict anaerobe whose only known reservoir is humans. B. pertussis produces many biologically active substances that are thought to be responsible for its clinical syndrome; the most significant of these substances are pertussis toxin and filamentous hemagglutinin. Transmission is by aerosolized droplets containing organisms coughed by infected persons. The incubation period is usually six to 10 days but ranges from five to 21 days. Infected persons can transmit the disease after the first week of incubation and remain infectious until three weeks after the onset of symptoms. Pertussis has no distinct seasonal pattern. " From WHO " Even infection with Bordetella pertussis may not assure a long-lasting immunity; some serological observations suggest that past infection may not provide protection, and that the widely held belief that infection with B. pertussis confers lifelong immunity is probably wrong. " But we (they) realy don't know much about immunity and immunity may also depend on constant exposure to the bacteria in the environment as well as having had the disease. -------------------------------------------------------- Sheri Nakken, R.N., MA Vaccination Information & Choice Network, Nevada City CA & UK 530-740-0561 Voicemail in US http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm " All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men ( & women) do nothing " ...Edmund Burke ANY INFO OBTAINED HERE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL OR LEGAL ADVICE.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 HI Is that true that it is a bacterial infection? My whole family was vacinated. My husband and I thirty odd years ago and the boys three and five years ago. We are all so sick with it and have all of the symptoms that Sandy provided us. I am downing the Vitamin C with great relief. It is breaking up the mucus and allowing me to carry on without coughing until...night. At that time we sound like a house of seals. I will not give the 8 year old antibiotics. They did not help us at all. We are still all just as ill.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Amy How much vitamin c did you give your kids? I am waiting for two homeopaths to respond to me. In the meantime, I am trying to do what we can without any drugs. I am taking 2000mg in the am, 1000 at lunch and 2000 at bedtime. I am still with slight symptoms while it runs its course but am 90% better than my husband, who will not comply with my suggestions(hard head) and my four year old who I cannot get to swallow a pill.

I use the NOW brand and bought 3 pounds of it from vitaglo online.You can mix this in water/juice.My dd who loves salt prefers to eat hers straight of with some veggies to dip in it!!!! For dosage it all depends,but I saved this from another list member... (Give until they get the poopies and then cut back a little) Sodium ascorbate powder for breastfed babies. Dosage rate = between 200 - 375 mg per kg of body weight over waking hours, actual dose depends on individual. So if your baby weighs 4 kilos, one gram vitamin C = 1,000 mgs ( one-quarter of a level tsp) should be split into several doses, and given from morning to evening.... One good pinch equals 250 mgs, if you want to use the vague method. Express some breastmilk, dissolve the vitamin C. Using a plastic dropper, drip it into the inside of her cheek until all in, or get it into her as she breastfeeds by inserting the dropper without breaking her " seal " - not so easy!!! You should start to notice a significant difference within 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Someone emailed me with this (from my website)....can anyone answer? I was searching for home remedies for the whooping cough (which I am sure I have now) and found your site/listing here: http://www.whale.to/vaccines/homeopathy.html     I was rather discouraged when it continuously spoke of homeopathy but never said what was used specifically for treating whooping cough?What was it? Where can I get it?  Thanks! (cough, cough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 I will send you some info - but its about individualing symptoms. There aren't one or two or three remedies. It could be anyone of thousands. And its not about treating whooping cough - its about assisting the body with the symptoms that are presenting. Refer them to my article on homeopathy http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm And I will send one by Will homeopath Sheri At 03:10 AM 10/30/2001 -0800, you wrote: >Someone emailed me with this (from my website)....can anyone answer? > >I was searching for home remedies for the whooping cough (which I am >sure I have now) and found your site/listing here: >http://www.whale.to/vaccines/homeopathy.html   > > >I was rather discouraged when it continuously spoke of homeopathy but >never said what was used specifically for treating whooping cough?What >was it?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 I forgot to say that Will is an MD Homeopath I think extremely highly of (he is in Maine) Just to give you an idea......... ashryn wrote, >well, one of my worst nightmares may have come true.. my unvaccinated 3year >old has a very nasty cough that i have been told sounds like the beginnings >of whooping cough. It is never easy when our own young-ones take sick. I find it easy to offer knowledgable reassurance to my patients, but struggle so often in these same situations with my own pain at seeing my own boys not feeling well. Find someone for hugs (someone must know a nifty little e-mail symbol for hugs?) > i guess what i am looking for is reassurance that i am doing the right >thing, it is so hard to hold on to my faith in homoeopathy (actually in my >own abilities) when i am so close to it.. there isnt anything allopathy can >do anyway, is there? Conventional medicine can only intervene with supportive care (observation, humidity, hydration, oxygen). Antibiotics do *not* affect the course of the illness (except, perhaps, in the very early catarrhal phase, before there is any clue that this might be whooping cough); they may be given to the patient to reduce the possibility of contagion to others. But consider that the most common side-effect of erythromycin (the antibiotic most often used for this) is nausea ... Perhaps one of the reasons allopathy worries so much about pertussis is, that they " gots nothin' to do " for it. & allopaths basically *hate* it when that happens. >the cough is worse at night, and she has to sit up to cough, and ends up >with tears streaming down her face after each bout.(not crying from grief, >but from the sheer exertion.) she seems to be being very brave, and when she >isnt coughing seems perfectly fine My experience with pertussis is, that it is much much more difficult for the parents than it is for the child. It is very hard to watch these paroxysmal coughing episodes. I mean sure, they're rough for the kid to go thru, but as parents we feel so incredibly helpless. The kids seem mostly to recover just fine. >her picture is that of a perfect pulsatilla, although the remedy does not >act. so i gave her one dose of silica (the first chronic of puls) Recall what Edouard wrote recently about the pace of remedies (he used Bell & Calc-c as examples). It would be very unusual to see Silica called for in an acute pertussis case in the paroxysmal cough phase - the pace of this remedy just does not match the pace of the acute paroxysmal illness. Many of the common symptoms of pertussis seem to fit Pulsatilla - worse in the first part of the night, <lying down, > (or at least prefers) sitting up, etc. You usually need to look further at more differentiating symptoms to find the simillimum. As an aside, not really applicable to this case, if a " chronic of Puls " does need to be given, it should still be a remedy that fits the whole picture. Only Silica if it fits. See Boenninghausen's concordances (in the back of his repertory) for other possibilities. >and it >seemed to ease the cough for one night, but the next day she was back to the >same deep wrenching cough that makes her feel like vomiting. it does seem >that she has more mucus when she coughs now and it is slightly less >spasmodic.. is this an improvement? I suspect it is an indication that the remedy was not correct. >her cough seems to fit drosera, but not the mentals..if i gave this, would >it be supressive? I have rarely seen the persecution, etc. of Drosera during a Drosera whooping cough acute. Go to the most characteristic symptoms of the case - which will likely be in the modalities ( & times), the physical generals, concomitants to the cough, and any strongly characterizing physical particulars. >it has been going on for about 2 weeks now and i am starting to get very >worried. Going on for 2 weeks as it has, it is likely that you've pretty much already seen what is in store for you. Emphasize rest ( & restful activity) for all of the family during the day, so you can all pace yourself through this. Plan on little treats for yourself during the predictable night wakings, & breaks for self-refreshment during the day, & work out some alternation of responsibilities so you don't all get exhausted simultaneously. I hope for the best for your family - >i guess i am having some trouble just sitting back and waiting.. >in my experience, homoeopathy works faster than this.. It usually does. I would expect at the least to see the cough settle down into a semi-disturbing, no-gagging night-time cough without nausea or wretching.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Keep babies out of nursing homes. It's very common for pertussis to be passed around between the elderly. Joyce Whooping Cough Hi we recently had our second baby (he's now 14 days). our older 2½ year boy is not vaxed at all - and we have no plans of doing it either. i have one question - the greatest risk in this seems to be the older one coming down with whooping cough (not so serious for him) and passing it on to the little one (potentially serious). what are your thought on this - and what can be done as preventive measures? thanks per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Most people told me when my DD had whooping couigh that the antibiotics wont do a thing. They do claim the use of antibiotics will make her NOT contagious but I am not sure I believe it and If i did how good the antibiotics are for a immune system trying to cope with pertussis. I did NOT give antibiotics. My dd who is the only one of my children NOT vaxed my other children did NOT get the cough. We had the cough for a bit over 6 weeks. Her best bet is Sodium ascbate Vitc and i used homeoathy as well and seen a big change in my dd in hours after taking it. It of course didnt rid the cough but she was able to get the large thick gunk out of her chest. She was 6 mo old she your friends child being 3 she already has an advantage. I am sure alot of more knowledgable folks will post as well. I just know how we treated my dd but the basis of the disease as far as antibiotics I am not 100% on.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hi, > Well in all the books i have read it says to give antibiotics to help > prevent > the spread. I have heard it is said so because the symptoms disappear rather quickly under antibiotics and so the person cannot be contagiuos anymore.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 First of all, your friend's daycare provider should have let every parent know of an exposure to an infectious disease as soon as she found out about it herself. That said, your friend's instincts are right on -- children who are ill should be at home with their parent(s). I don't think the focus on preventing her from being contagious and getting back to " normal " life is really that appropriate. Our bodies often need nothing more than time to heal. Slowing down and spending time at home is a great cure, and a good lesson that our health is a priority. We do not have to " know " what illness our child has to know that his body is ready and able to fight off an illness. I find it absolutely amazing that children bounce back from an illness *despite* the variety of immune-suppressing and confusing treatments they are often subjected to. I'd say whether or not you feel the need to keep your children away is up to you. Personally, I doubt an ill child would be a great playmate if he is not feeling well, so this would be more of a consideration to me than the possibility of catching an illness. On the other hand, if I had non-refundable plane tickets to visit an elderly family member, I'd probably be extra-cautious. But, normally, the worst part of getting sick is the societal fear of getting sick (which I think is a normal, healthy thing for children.) Even if she gets the child cultured, it may take three weeks to get reliable results (they have to grow the culture), so it may really be a moot point. - -----Original Message----- A friend of mine thinks that her 3-year-old daughter may have whooping cough. She is unvaccinated. She goes to a daycare 2 days a week. My friend kept her daughter home today because she said she had a very strange whooping-sounding cough. When she called her off from daycare, daycare said that last week there was a kid there who had whooping cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 From a homeopath I highly respect in response to a parent ashryn wrote, >well, one of my worst nightmares may have come true.. my unvaccinated 3year >old has a very nasty cough that i have been told sounds like the beginnings >of whooping cough. It is never easy when our own young-ones take sick. I find it easy to offer knowledgable reassurance to my patients, but struggle so often in these same situations with my own pain at seeing my own boys not feeling well. Find someone for hugs (someone must know a nifty little e-mail symbol for hugs?) > i guess what i am looking for is reassurance that i am doing the right >thing, it is so hard to hold on to my faith in homoeopathy (actually in my >own abilities) when i am so close to it.. there isnt anything allopathy can >do anyway, is there? Conventional medicine can only intervene with supportive care (observation, humidity, hydration, oxygen). Antibiotics do *not* affect the course of the illness (except, perhaps, in the very early catarrhal phase, before there is any clue that this might be whooping cough); they may be given to the patient to reduce the possibility of contagion to others. But consider that the most common side-effect of erythromycin (the antibiotic most often used for this) is nausea ... Perhaps one of the reasons allopathy worries so much about pertussis is, that they " gots nothin' to do " for it. & allopaths basically *hate* it when that happens. >the cough is worse at night, and she has to sit up to cough, and ends up >with tears streaming down her face after each bout.(not crying from grief, >but from the sheer exertion.) she seems to be being very brave, and when she >isnt coughing seems perfectly fine My experience with pertussis is, that it is much much more difficult for the parents than it is for the child. It is very hard to watch these paroxysmal coughing episodes. I mean sure, they're rough for the kid to go thru, but as parents we feel so incredibly helpless. The kids seem mostly to recover just fine. >her picture is that of a perfect pulsatilla, although the remedy does not >act. so i gave her one dose of silica (the first chronic of puls) Recall what Edouard wrote recently about the pace of remedies (he used Bell & Calc-c as examples). It would be very unusual to see Silica called for in an acute pertussis case in the paroxysmal cough phase - the pace of this remedy just does not match the pace of the acute paroxysmal illness. Many of the common symptoms of pertussis seem to fit Pulsatilla - worse in the first part of the night, <lying down, > (or at least prefers) sitting up, etc. You usually need to look further at more differentiating symptoms to find the simillimum. As an aside, not really applicable to this case, if a " chronic of Puls " does need to be given, it should still be a remedy that fits the whole picture. Only Silica if it fits. See Boenninghausen's concordances (in the back of his repertory) for other possibilities. >and it >seemed to ease the cough for one night, but the next day she was back to the >same deep wrenching cough that makes her feel like vomiting. it does seem >that she has more mucus when she coughs now and it is slightly less >spasmodic.. is this an improvement? I suspect it is an indication that the remedy was not correct. >her cough seems to fit drosera, but not the mentals..if i gave this, would >it be supressive? I have rarely seen the persecution, etc. of Drosera during a Drosera whooping cough acute. Go to the most characteristic symptoms of the case - which will likely be in the modalities ( & times), the physical generals, concomitants to the cough, and any strongly characterizing physical particulars. >it has been going on for about 2 weeks now and i am starting to get very >worried. Going on for 2 weeks as it has, it is likely that you've pretty much already seen what is in store for you. Emphasize rest ( & restful activity) for all of the family during the day, so you can all pace yourself through this. Plan on little treats for yourself during the predictable night wakings, & breaks for self-refreshment during the day, & work out some alternation of responsibilities so you don't all get exhausted simultaneously. I hope for the best for your family - >i guess i am having some trouble just sitting back and waiting.. >in my experience, homoeopathy works faster than this.. It usually does. I would expect at the least to see the cough settle down into a semi-disturbing, no-gagging night-time cough without nausea or wretching.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I am pretty sure my son had it when he was...oh 7 or 8 the doctors said NOOo but I am sure of it he had it from November til April, and he would cough til he almost threw up and got to the point he would go to the trash can to cough, even at school. He would whoop too, but the insisted he didn't have it. Yeah ok... Western NY -- whooping cough Dear Sheri: Yes, whooping cough lasts long - up to 3 months or more ! In China, it is called the 100 day cough! I have met quite a few older people here in Poland where I live who said Oh, yes, I had whooping cough - they remember it as being long but they didn't feel it was some horrible thing. I do believe that the childhood sicknesses are necessary to build their immune system to strenth them in adulthood (and childhood too). Actually, it is difficult to go through - especially when 4 children have it at the same time - running back and forth to each. Our oldest son was 14 at the time and he coughed a little - they say teenagers usually don't get it or very mild. However, like childbirth - what's difficult to get over results in warm memories. I loved having the kids home from school for a month - that's why I start making more steps towards homeschooling here - when I realized even more how much the schools here make a family crazy! Now we don't need to get everyone out in the cold mornings and sit until late with homework - we have a family! We are reading the Little House on the Prairie books right now - and it fits in!
