Chickenpox can cause problems in the fetus,

rarely - but I would think only if mom hasn't had

it but I would do a search on it. But also, it

is usually in the first trimester that there are problems

No need to respond - I was just catching up on my emails and noticed someone asked this question just within the last week.

Sorry for the repeat

A friend of mine just let us know her almost 1 year old has the chicken pox. What a great opportunity to get our almost 3 year old exposed! We also have an 8 month old, is that too soon for him to be exposed though? Thanks,

Hi Sheri, try to find a local chapter of the holistic moms network. I've met tons of people who don't vaccinate that way. Good luck!

Hi Bee, I've been meaning to post this question to you for a while. Since I do

not vaccinate my children as vaccines are poisonous and are devastating to the

health of the child, (as you know) I really wanted to expose my children to the

real chicken pox like I had as a child. My chance came 2 years ago when a good

friend of mine who also doeasn't vaccinate exposed her kids to the real thing &

asked me if I wanted to expose my kids (her kids came down with a really good

case of it!) I took her up on her offer & had my kids share eating spoons with

her kids. My oldest daughter came down with the pox about 2 weeks later; she was

in such agony with the itching, and calamine didn't help, so I put coconut oil

w/ a little oregano oil in it, and it helped her a lot. So much so that her pox

were GONE within 2 days. Now that's what worries me; that she didn't get it bad

enough to give her life-long immunity. My younger daughter never got it at all!

What is your opinion on this? Will my children be susceptible to getting the

worse, sometimes deadly adult chicken pox that vaccinated children are likely to

get?

Thank you,

Donna
