Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Welcome Aurora, Nothing to worry about. No child has EVER died of measles. Some nutritionally deficient people have died of complications caused by a lack of Vitamins A & C, following measles. Also, the so-called rubella syndrome (the other measles) that affects the foetus, is also identical to a Vitamin A deficiency. Sounds as though your child is very lucky to have you as his Mum! Some children have half a dozen rounds of antibiotics every winter. Don't worry about measles - it is a non-issue in the healthy. Bet you wouldn't even know he was ill if he gets it. He may have a bit of a cold & that is about all. Just keep the fluids up. Carrot juice is cool! If eyes are light sensitive, increase Vitamin A and shade lights and forget about watching TV or a VDU for a while. One son got a single measles jab in 1977 & he got the measles anyway, so the darned thing didn't even work. Then his brother who never got the jab, got the measles. They have never been vaccinated from that time on. (The elder son was brain -injured by DPT in 1975 so that was HIS last vaccine.) Also my unvaccinated niece was the last child in her peer group to get measles (mostly military families) - all the rest had been vaccinated & they called it atypical measles in them - the measles you get when you don't really get the measles - that is, the vaccine doesn't work. Her dr said it was a pleasure to see a classical case of (harmless) measles! All the best, Maracuja From: DAWN MONTIEL <dawn_montiel2003@...> Subject: mnr Vaccinations Date: Friday, December 26, 2008, 12:12 AM hi, I am new here.In the UK there is a media thing about a probable measles epidemic. My son had the DPT at 2,3 and 4 months as i did not know anything and i gave him tetanus booster last year.He is now 12.I feel so stressed about the measle stuff-if he got it i would never forgive myself.All i know is that my son is healthy-throws off stuff and never so far has had antibiotics. If i had given him the anitb when dr said he would have had 14 courses by now!How is measles treated naturally. I am also getting nastly letters from my GP re the vaccine.I don't want to do it yet feel maybe he is now 12 its better? Aurora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi Aurora, Welcome to our group. I know you will learn much here. The media really does a good job of instilling fear in the general public, don't they? First, what are they constituting an " epidemic " ? Here in the states 13 people nationwide came down with a disease last spring (I think it was measles, can't remember for sure) and the media reported it as an " epidemic " . 13 people out of a population of 300 MILLION. Measles is NOT the " deadly disease " it has been made out to be. When you hear statistics of deaths that occurred from measles, it's propaganda by the allopathic community. What causes the deaths in these individuals is a Vitamin A deficiency. The measles itself is relatively benign in children, much like the chicken pox. Here are a couple of links with TONS more info on measles and MMR vaccine: http://whale.to/vaccines/measles.html (List mate, , put this awesome website together) http://whale.to/m/measlesdeaths1.html http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/mmr.htm (Our Listowner, Sheri, put this site together) Natural treatments for measles is much like the cold. Plenty of fluids, Vitamin A and C supps, steam, lots of rest, and keep the curtain shades closed, if there is light sensitivity. The one thing you DON'T want to do with measles (or ever, truthfully) is suppress the fever with Tylenol or anything else. The measles needs the fever to burn itself out. Fever is a GOOD thing! It's best to try not to worry yourself with " what if " ? It sounds like your son is very healthy, take comfort in that! Also, read and educate yourself on vaccines and the diseases they are supposed to prevent. The more knowledge you gain, the less worry and fear you will have. Again, welcome aboard!

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi and welcome. I had measles, I'm still alive. All the kids in my class had measles, they all lived. My sisters had measles, they're alive. Measles is not the end of the world - IF your kid gets it, treat him homeopathically, he'll probably be well in a few days. My mother had never heard of Homeopathy, probably still hasn't so we had the doc come look at our spots, maybe gave us a few pills, but basically we were in bed for a while, felt lousy for a while, then got better, just the same as we did with chicken pox, mumps, etc, etc, etc...... If you vaccinate your currently healthy kid, you're pumping him full of poison - your choice. I had the BCG at age 12, then got TB at age 15 - where was the " protection " there? Don't let some eejit browbeat you. Go with what you know to be right. I hadn't realised we were becoming such a big brother state too - copying america as ever.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 There's media panic about measles outbreaks here in the US, too. It's calculated to counter the concerns over the MMR. They figure if they make people nervous about measles, that we'll all be begging for the MMR. Don't fall for it. If you're concerned about your son getting measles, first know the vaccine isn't guaranteed to protect anyway (per the manufacturers--I believe they don't work at all). Second, getting measles is not the problem. It's whether they die or are left with some life-altering health effects. This is not likely to happen, especially with your son who has a healthy immune system. But it is with the vaccine. So, vaccine=likely; measles=not likely. Pick your poison. I know I would feel very guilty if I knew my child throws off diseases easily, and knew vaccines are safety hazards, and I caused him to die or be damaged from allowing him to be vaccinated anyway. Every vaccine carries the risk of death. Ask your doctor to guarantee it won't. Ask him/her to guarantee protection. All you will get in response is reassuring rhetoric about it being very safe, how they've never seen a problem and it is your duty as your parent to overcome your irrational fears. I don't know how measles is treated naturally. I never had it, never had the vaccine and none of my four children, ages 9-18 (half vaxed/half not) have had it. I imagine by the usual bedrest and fluids, and for us, homeopathy. Listen to your own heart and use your common sense. Don't let anyone, even us here on this list, to pressure you. Good luck!
