pertussis and antibiotics!

[Guest guest]

According to

http://www.health.state.nm.us/website.nsf/c893def3c36b22738725676000514a8e/a

0cb094d2855b9b1872567430064b95e?OpenDocument, and

http://www.bu.edu/bridge/archive/2001/02-02/health.html, antibiotics are

effective but only if given at the beginning of the illness before the cough

becomes established. I remember reading that high doses of vitamin C reduce

the duration of pertussis

Could you provide the reference for antibiotics not being proven effective

for pertussis so I can read further?

Thanks,

Yes, i would also be interested, kim. one cannot but learn enough about all

this. boy!

I found this:

Control

Treatment with erythromycin does not alter the course of disease, but reduces

the infectious period to 5 to 10 days. Inactivated whole-cell vaccines are

highly effective, but occasionally cause toxic side effects. Acellular

vaccines with fewer side effects have been licensed for booster vaccination

and will possibly be also licensed for primary vaccination.

People concerned about becoming infected can take sodium ascorbate instead of

the antibiotics.And ofcourse those already infected NEED the vitC to

neutralize the toxins created by the bacteria.

" My child is receiving antibiotics. Why isn’t he/she getting better?

Antibiotic therapy will reduce the infectiousness of pertussis.

Unfortunately, antibiotics will not reduce the severity of the illness. It

may take up to 6 weeks for the symptoms to completely go away. "

http://www.doh.wa.gov/topics/pertussis.htm

What can be done to prevent the spread of pertussis?

The single most effective control measure is maintaining the highest

possible level of immunization in the community. Anyone who comes into

close contact with a person who has pertussis should receive antibiotics to

prevent spread of the disease. Treatment of cases with certain antibiotics

such as erythromycin can shorten the contagious period. People who have or

may have pertussis should stay away from young children and infants until

properly treated.

They think it can reduce the contagiousness - it is not treating your child

and changing the course of pertussis in your child.

Here is a website for ordering sodium ascorbate powdered form (I was told by

my naturopath that it is a respected company) :

Yes, she definitely does - even the trauma of her birth can be dealt with.

Please do.

And I'll email again to the list for those who are new since I posted

before a bit on Vit C. You have to figure out the best.

Many I respect recommend Sodium Ascorbate powder form.
