Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 My brother, my sister, and me had the chicken pox almost at the same time. My brother was 19, sister 15, and I was 8. The varicella vaccine is fairly new in the schedule from my understanding, I think they only started giving it in 1995...so almost everyone I know had chicken pox, and survived it. I had my chicken pox in 1986. We all reacted to it pretty much the same way, out of school for about 2 weeks, we passed it on to each other I think, not on purpose, but by the time we discovered each of us had it, it was passed around the whole house. I don't remember having a fever, I don't remember suffering miserably except for itching like crazy were the lesions were, and my mother putting on this calamine lotion....

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 It was a long time ago -- the only thing I clearly remember was being upset that I was missing college classes - the measles were the least of my worries.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 My impression after reveiwing studies and literature is that very little is as " deadly " or devastating as we are told that it is......unless some federal agency swears that it isn't.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm not sure about chickenpox being deadly as an adult, although it does make you much sicker AND can make you STERILE. :-) Aileen > > I just was wondering if anyone knows of a non vaxed child who has gotten chickenpox or measles as a > teenager or adult.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I personally had chicken pox at age 18, along with more than a dozen members of my graduating class. Someone had gone to our school-sponsored grad night party with chicken pox. We were all FINE. I'm familiar with the idea that it's supposed to be worse for adults, though I've never heard about the sterility part. Are you confusing it with mumps? > > > > I just was wondering if anyone knows of a non vaxed child who has > gotten chickenpox or measles as a > > teenager or adult.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes - adult male age 23 [before there were vaccines for either] - he had chicken pox and mumps in the same year, but he never got tonsilitis again after that, so perhaps his body was just detoxing itself. He was in the military and they had decreed a tonsillectomy. It never happened, thank goodness. GALT still intact! He was just grumpy, that's all. He water-fasted, slept and grumbled his way through both diseases none the worse for wear. No vaccines for the last 23 years. Mumps is the one that MAY affect fertility. It wasn't a problem though. It seldom is - but it's always used to scare people into vaccinating. He received many vaccines but not as many as they do now. He didn't drink alcohol but smoked then. He's never been ill since except occasional colds, but his elder son was injured by DPT vaccine. Younger son became asthmatic within days of the old morbilli vaccine. His children haven't had vaccines since. Grandchild, some nephews and nieces and neighbours all unvaccinated. Cool! Just take the time to recover AT HOME. Don't go rushing about visiting, shopping or leaving a sick child in daycare - remember that one of the factors re disease is overcrowding - schools and day-care fit that bill! Most importantly check the files that Sheri has so generously provided. You will find so many answers there. [Thank you so much Sheri, for everything.] Nowadays I think I'd ensure he juice-fasted if he became ill. Luckily he likes the fruit/veg juices I prepare, so perhaps he wouldn't complain so much. So many diseases seem to involve a lack of vitamin A. Cod liver oil is wonderful stuff and has been used for American ghetto children & SA children to successfully prevent measles COMPLICATIONS. [Don't ask for a reference - I read it in an IAS newletter maybe 20 years ago. )] I rang our local Med Officer of Health to find out why we weren't using Vitamin A in NZ as it was much cheaper than vaccines & didn't cripple kids, like the measles vaccine. His answer was hilarious. Imagine a pompous voice intoning, " There is no evidence to suggest that Vitamin A would help NZ children. " Whaaaat? I asked if it had ever been used in NZ hospitals. " No " ... and he repeated the ridiculous no evidence mantra. What a... never mind! Read Archie Kalokerinos' book " Every Second Child " re the benefit of Vitamin C. As far as I understand, we need these bacteria. They are the clean-up crew. Remember your school biology? Producers, consumers & decomposers - we need 'em all. Most people have some of the so-called dangerous bugs in their throats & remain symptomless. They proliferate when you feed them. That is, a crappy diet will provide a hospitable environment for them, so don't feed them. Perhaps if we knew what growing medium gets the best results in petri dishes, we would then know what NOT to feed ourselves. The " soil " determines which bugs will grow. That's why good nutrition is vital. It took 10 years to clear the pertussin endotoxin, post-vaccine, out of my son's body using homoeopathy. He started at age 10. When it was gone at age 20, the enuresis also stopped. Woohoo - a red letter day. ) Still has seizures but no grande mal since he was 10. Believe me, it is far easier to care for a poxy or measly or whooping baby for, perhaps, a few weeks than it is to look after a brain-injured baby for decades.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I had cp when I was 13. Other than missing Christmas celebrations, it wasn't a big deal. I slept alot, ate a lot of soup, bathed in oatmeal & calamine....this was in the '80's. ~ > > > > > > > I just was wondering if anyone knows of a non vaxed child who has > > gotten > > > > chickenpox or measles as a > > > > teenager or adult.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Out of curiosity how far apart did the members of your graduating class come down with it? I don't get how they have convinced the public that chickenpox is a deadly disease. The same goes for all of the other childhood illnesses. wrote: > > I personally had chicken pox at age 18, along with more than a dozen > members of my > graduating class.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not...I was vaxxed as a kid but NOT for the Varicella. It wasn't around when I was little. I was around the pox as a kid but never got it. Well, when I was 19, I got them. Yes they were bad (down the throat...well, EVERYWHERE!) and yes they were irritating but it wasn't a big deal. So, not sure if you were looking for a totally non-vaxxed child or just one that didn't get the Varicella vax. Just thought I'd share. > > I just was wondering if anyone knows of a non vaxed child who has gotten chickenpox or measles as a > teenager or adult.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 FA: A coworker of mine actually had measles a few months back. She started getting small red dots between her shoulders on her back and it slowly spread but no other symptoms. After about a week when it started coming down her arm she went to the doctors who solved the mystery: Measles! She took the next 2 weeks off but was fine by the time she came back. She's probably about 28 yrs old. I actually was sitting right next to her (in close quarters!) going over some stuff for work for at least an hour or two the day before. I never got it. Not sure if I got an MMR shot or not (born in 72). -paul > > I might actually be getting chickenpox due to the fact I was exposed a > few weeks back and I have been feeling rather ill (and quite moody) off > and on over the last few days. > > The thing I am confused about is I have no fever as of yet. > > I am not worried in the least about how serious it might be because I > work really hard to have a strong immune system.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 At 01:12 PM 2/16/2010, you wrote: I nanny share with another couple and they just vaccinated their 4month old yesterday afternoon. I've kept my 13month old(who is completely unvaccinated) away from her the rest of Monday and all day Tuesday but will have to be going back to work Wednesday. My daughter is currently teething, running a slight temp, runny nose and slight cough. I'm concerned about her being around the 4month old who received the Hep B, Hib, DTaP and Rotavirus. Any suggestions or words of wisdom for support and guidance? I am confident with my decision to not vaccinate but the mother of the 4month old spoke to her doctor who assured me that the only live virus received was in the Rotavirus and that stays in the GI tract so unless the nanny doesn't wash her hands I shouldn't have any concerns. On a side note, the doctor, of course, doesn't approve my decision and is concerned about how my child will be a danger to my friends child. I told the doctor if he is so sure his vaccines work then what is he worried about. Ugh, makes me so mad. Yes, rotavirus vaccine is live and showing to be communicable to others. I have no idea how long to tell you that it is. I'll send an article I just received.
