Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I could use some advice and guidance. My chiropractor shared with me that she has a patient in her office with chicken pox. The mother is likely going to have a chicken pox party. My husband is leery of me taking our little guy to the party. Especially after recent happenings in our family (outlined below). Does anyone have reports or studies that we can look over that shows the benefits of contracting the disease? Our son is 13 months, non-vaccinated, seeks frequent chiropractic care and is breastfed. Family Happenings: 1) My grandmother has a terrible case of shingles. The doctor shared with her that this was due to her expose to chicken pox as a child. The case has been rather extreme lately and very painful for her. 2) My husband's aunt was diagnosed with MS. The doctor shared with her that she likely contracted MS from shingles caused by chicken pox. Ashleah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think you get shingles from lack of reexposure to chicken pox. Also, I'm not sure about this, but I would think that if you have the chicken pox virus inside you from a natural case, same would happen from a vaccine anyways since it is a live virus (I think.) > > I could use some advice and guidance. > My chiropractor shared with me that she > has a patient in her office with chicken > pox.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ashleah, chicken pox and shingles are the same virus. They are a type of herpes virus. You cannot get shingles without having been exposed to chicken pox. You CAN get chicken pox FROM shingles, but not vice versa. In my understanding, it will actually benefit your grandmother to be exposed to chicken pox again - it acts like a booster to the immune system. Your child could get shingles later from the vaccine because the vaccine is a live-virus vaccine. In fact, your child could actually get the chicken pox from the vaccine, although I think that is rare. It is more likely your child would get chicken pox despite the vaccine. We and our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents all had chicken pox as young children and we are not all sick with MS. I've never heard of that link. Others might know more. > > I could use some advice and guidance. > My chiropractor shared with me that she > has a patient in her office with chicken > pox.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I would not expose him rt now. This is just my opinion. If there is a family tendency for the your family to have a diff time with this virus, if he gets it on his own is one thing but do not try to expose him. Maybe when he is a lit older and perhaps under the care of a homeopathic physician who can guide you better. Continue all that you are doing esp clean diet, so his immune system is in top shape. I write this and have put my cookie down. > > I could use some advice and guidance. > My chiropractor shared with me that she > has a patient in her office with chicken > pox.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 , ~Hello, I can't be of much help but, I wanted to say that my son had chicken pox he was 2 and he only had 4 spots he was completely fine, he ate,slept, and played just as he always did. BUT, I know that everyone is different. SO, I know I wasn't much help but, I think diet can play a big role make sure she is eating REALLY healthy and build up her immune system. Lots of fresh fruit and veggies. Good luck Keep us posted! ~Anne From: <tanyaligouri@...> Subject: chicken pox question Vaccinations Date: Wednesday, April 22, 2009, 12:36 PM My DD is 16 months and I know a (vaccinated) child that may have the chicken pox. I am wondering if I should take her over to play? I feel like I should wait until she is older, but maybe that is not best? Also my husband has never had it (hes 29) I know it can be dangerous to adults but I would assume it be better for him to catch it now than when hes older? Thanks!
