MD Cause:  An infectious disease of childhood caused by the measles virus.

MD Rx:  Wait and watch and treat fevers with Tylenol or aspirin. 

ND Cause: A weakened Immune System which allowed the virus to gain a foothold. 

Discussion: Measles has historically been a common childhood disease with rare complications. Mass vaccination has resulted in a dramatic decline in measles incidents, but outbreaks now occur in older populations and in infants born to women whose immunity from vaccination has deteriorated. Periodic epidemics continue to occur. The vaccine is associated with serious adverse reactions including permanent nervous system damage long-term effects are unknown. 

“Having measles may be beneficial. As radical as it sounds to some, there is a school of thought that having a natural measles infection is beneficial. Natural measles may protect against some forms of cancer later in life, as well as the tendency to have future allergic, immunological, and degenerative conditions. Unfortunately, the “opportunity” to have the natural infection has been taken away from our children. Vaccinated people are not having natural measles, and neither are most unvaccinated people, as the disease has been largely suppressed. When it does occur, it is often at a non-physiological age (under 5 years old, or in adulthood), when it is more likely to be accompanied by complications. Ideally, children should be having measles during the normal time frame, which creates long-lasting, true herd immunity rather than vaccine-induced, false “herd immunity,” which is destined to wane within 5-10 years in the majority of vaccinated people. When mothers were having natural measles during their own childhood years, they were passing much stronger and more protective antibodies to their infants during pregnancy and with breastfeeding. By the time maternally-conferred immunity waned, the cycle repeated itself with natural childhood infections in their offspring. When widespread use of the vaccine became customary, we lost these protective biological dynamics.”[1]
