Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Phil, From the studying I did, we opted against any form, single or combined, even at 17 years old when the college was trying to force it on our daughter. All the reading I did was pretty much " run fast and hard the other way. " So, we did, even if it would have meant her choosing another college -which she didn't have to do thanks to a sharp homeopath and some lawyer style preparations. I'd provide more info if I still had it, that was 5 years ago, and I filed it all when we finally got the approval for her to attend.

Apparently all single measles jabs in the UK are live? So far as I know, all measles vaccines are live virus. If you choose to allow this vaccine, be sure to give it with a lot of vitamin A for several weeks after the vaccine. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 There's research showing autistic kids have the DNA of measles vaccine strain in their gut, rather than the wild strain DNA (proof of damage caused by vaccine). There's also a Dr. Moulden? who has been writing that the rubella part is the really dangerous part of the vaccine. Maybe you can find some info here: http://www.jabs.org.uk/ ``````` I have relatives who examine each vaccine, the likelihood of their child getting that particular disease, try separate shots, and then usually vaccinate at a delayed schedule.. So far, so good for them. I have one niece whose kids have had bad reactions to vaccines, and will not do any more. Her four sons are immune-compromised, have ADD, more. I believe vaccines do not infer immunity. Many are getting the diseases they've been vaccinated against. I believe vaccines trigger autoimmune diseases including autism, IBD, arthritis, ADHD, other stuff. My son has Crohn's, and the MMR is implicated in that also. I know a number of previously just fine kids who got MMR vaccines, followed shortly by IBD. A lot of IBD kids have issues in common with ASD kids - especially food, gut, sensory issues, as well as social isolation. They consider these to be idiosyncrasies, rather than damage issues. There used to be a good article on the internet about the diseases - measles, mumps, and rubella. This article said that if someone had the actual diseases within close time frames, they were much more likely to develop Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis. Something like seven times more likely in one disease, and five times more likely for the other disease. The upside of having a disease vs the vaccine is the disease doesn't have all the extras in it (all the vac adjuncts), and you get the disease ONCE, you're sick. You're done. One of the factors not talked about much is the generational vaccine issue. If you have three generations of vaccinations - grandmother, mother, child - I think each generation loses immune function and gains toxin load. Each female carries at least four generations of toxin load. I don't know how this plays out in males except for the testosterone connection in ASD. I believe IBD kids are advised to not get live vaccines. IBD has more severe gut damage. ASD has more severe neurological damge?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I had measles - it was really cool, a bit of a cold and no school! Drove my mother nuts. Hehe! DS#2 had the single measles vax, his only vaccine jab, which resulted in asthma - and yet he still got measles! Believe me, asthma is scarier! Breathing tends to be essentail! DH had measles, mumps and chicken pox as an adult, no problems. My unvaccinated niece was the LAST in her vaccinated peer group to get measles. They call it ATYPICAL measles if you have been vaccinated (kind of hides the numbers) and I believe the figure is about 60% of the measles cases ARE vaccinated. Why risk the vaccine effects when it doesn't even work? The dr who dx'd my niece said he hadn't seen classic measles in years! He didn't rush her or her family into quarantine, even though they were a military family. The complications only arise if the diet is deficient in Vit A. Those eye symptoms? Light sensitivity etc? Classic Vit A deficiency. We now have 2 generations mostly unvaccinated in my family, there is no asthma or neuro or immuno injury in any of the unvaccinated. Hope this helps Dawn. Don't fear measles - it primes the immune system and there are develpmental leaps & bounds afterwards. Wishing you all the very best.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sorry I'm new, I was wondering what is INP. Also we are possibly going to India again. This June. We will be in a somewhat safe environment at a International Buddhist Academy, Kathmandu, Nepal. I was wondering if there is something I can do to build up his immune systemin the meantime. He has had Roseola and maybe 5 colds in his life. He also had the runs for a week after Nicaragua. I am wondering if he has been exposed enough to virus' that he will be safe to travel. I will be taking homeopathic medicine with us, as we use it and have had great results. Thank you, Liz And thank you for the two other emails. ________________________________ From: Sue <mum2mishka@...> Vaccinations Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 5:57:33 AM Subject: Re: measles jab Forgot to mention that one of our INP members had measles in both her (unvaccinated) boys towards the end of last year.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 If measles were such a big deal why is it a medical book I have from the mid 1950s tells of a Dr who noticed boys around the age of 10 or 11 who had not had it yet getting it on purpose so that they could miss a bit of school? They on to describe it as a mild " rite of childhood " . Also, if measles were indeed as scary as some say, why would I be trying to catch them as part of an anti vaccine project I am working on? Please rethink the MMR!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Everyone had measles until they decided to create MMR to inject each disease into your child. NO vaccine gives immunity, only chronic case of the disease so you can't get an acute case. What are you afraid of with measles. I am 58 years old, had measles as did everyone of my age, was a pediatric nurse and saw much measles in the doctors office - people would bring their child in just for a diagnosis so they would know what their child had - in most cases they knew it was measles - mom's knew what it looked like but wanted confirmation. NO fear, no worry - it was just part of life. Why are you so worried? It is NOT bad as 'they' say.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've had measles. All my friends had measles. It was normal to have measles not very long ago. It got us a few days off school, we got to stay home in bed. We got better. It's not a killer disease - most people get better after measles within a week or two. I honestly think vaccines are far more deadly than measles, chicken pox, mumps etc etc. I had the lot as did my friends. At least none of them ever cause autism that I'm aware of. MMR is about money. The people who say measles is scary either never had it or stand to make money from selling the vaccine. Your choice though, but for your child's sake, make it an informed one, not one from fear generated by greed.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 a poem from the jabs website..makes me feel better. Sneezles Robin Had wheezles And sneezles, They bundled him Into His bed. They gave him what goes With a cold in the nose, And some more for a cold In the head. They wondered If wheezles Could turn Into measles, If sneezles Would turn Into mumps; They examined his chest For a rash, And the rest Of his body for swellings and lumps. They sent for some doctors In sneezles And wheezles To tell them what ought To be done. All sorts and conditions Of famous physicians Came hurrying round At a run. They all made a note Of the state of his throat, They asked if he suffered from thirst; They asked if the sneezles Came after the wheezles, Or if the first sneezle Came first. They said, " If you teazle A sneezle Or wheezle, A measle May easily grow. But humour or pleazle The wheezle Or sneezle, The measle Will certainly go. " They expounded the reazles For sneezles And wheezles, The manner of measles When new. They said " If he freezles In draughts and in breezles, Then PHTHEEZLES May even ensue. " * * Robin Got up in the morning, The sneezles had vanished away. And the look in his eye Seemed to say to the sky, " Now, how to amuse them to-day?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 We love A A Milne in our house. I bought as many as I could, before my first baby was born. Also Louis son's A Child's Garden of Verses - The Land Of Counterpane - note the leaden soldiers! A great pity that I spent so much time reading them to DS in hospital! The Land of Counterpane by Louis son When I was sick and lay a-bed, I had two pillows at my head, And all my toys beside me lay, To keep me happy all the day. And sometimes for an hour or so I watched my leaden soldiers go, With different uniforms and drills, Among the bed-clothes, through the hills; And sometimes sent my ships in fleets All up and down among the sheets; Or brought my trees and houses out, And planted cities all about. I was the giant great and still That sits upon the pillow-hill, And sees before him, dale and plain, The pleasant land of counterpane. Dawn, be assured, I never knew a single case of measles complications. My friends visited me on the way home from school! No one thought to stop them. Some had already had them, and unlike the Claytons " protection " of the vaccine, it conferred lifelong immunity. Even though I allowed the morbilli measles vax for my 2nd baby, he got measles anyway. His brother didn't get them, although he didn't have the morbilli vax. His father did get them, yet he had the vaccine (among countless others) on enlisting. It just does not work, and my 2nd baby never had another vaccine - for anything, ever! I could have kicked myself. I traded the mild transient, immune-enhancing measles for years of life-threatening asthma, until he had homoeopathic treatment for it! I'm praying for your peace of mind!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Muriel, Like you, I had measles as a child, as did all my friends. I had it when I was 4, and all I really remember about it was my mum making me stay in bed, and my curtains being closed all the time because I didn't like the bright light. And I remember chicken soup!! I don't remember having a high fever or cough, but it was definitely measles. My friends had it and certainly none of them came to any harm. I think that the problem with measles comes from the fact that many people feel a need to *treat* it. They give fever reducers which suppress and interfere with the liver dealing with measles. I think that is when the complications set in - the ear infections and chest problems. Don't know about you but when we were kids, things were allowed to run their course - no aspirin, paracetamol etc.. - we got a sponge down if we needed it and some calamine lotion for chickenpox! Nowadays drugs are shoved into the poor kids and it's no wonder bodies don't deal with illness correctly. I firmly believe that natural wild measles, untampered with and allowed to run its natural course, is harmless to a well-nourished, well-nurtured child I'm only sorry that to date, my 11-y-o hasn't succeeded in catching it! I want for her the protection against diabetes and cancer that it is thought to confer. Sue x -- Re: measles jab I've had measles. All my friends had measles.

I was going to respond to that Guardian article last night, but reading the comments it was apparent that everyone there was so indoctrinated, it was futile. When did the vast majority of sane people hand over their common sense to the drug companies? Sue x -- Re: measles jab I've had measles. All my friends had measles.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Measles used to be grouped in the same category as roseola and parvo virus, two completely harmless childhood illnesses, all three were treated as one. My son had roseola and it was nothing, measles should not be much worse. Vida > > Everyone had measles until they decided to create MMR to inject each > disease into your child.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sorry folks - don't know why this came in twice. Sue x -- Re: Re: measles jab Hi Muriel, Like you, I had measles as a child, as did all my friends. I had it when I was 4, and all I really remember about it was my mum making me stay in bed, and my curtains being closed all the time because I didn't like the bright light. And I remember chicken soup!! I don't remember having a high fever or cough, but it was definitely measles. My friends had it and certainly none of them came to any harm.
