Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 My son had shingles last summer when he was 13. Several people I talked to at that time said they were noticing an increase of shingles in the kids at school. I agree... it's only a matter of time before they push the shingles vax on children, too. Here's your shot against chicken pox and here's another one to counteract the shingles you may get from the chicken pox vax! Insanity. Kay Re: FDA approves Merck vaccine to prevent shingles Notice how their not giving the age group for the other half afflicted with the shingles. This frightens me too because I know they will eventually include children as well, but for now they are addressing the elderly; a good test group to start with. Given time, this will be a mandatory childhood vaccine after which we will see yet another rise in another disease to develope yet another vaccine.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 After speaking with Dr.Carley about this, I was reminded that: Shingles is caused by chicken pox virus which has not been eliminated from the body...so their answer is to inject more virus which will not be able to be eliminated from the body! I think I am in error for blaming all cases of the shingles on the chicken pox vaccine. The elderly who have never had the cp vaccine who go on to develop shingles have not entirely eliminated the natural chicken pox virus they once had. My mother had the shingles 30 years ago and was told by her doctor that she was exposed to someone with the chicken pox; her immune system was a wreck when this happened. At that time, only the elderly were afflicted. Am I understanding this correctly? In the case of children getting the shingles...well... I think the writing is on the wall.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 A light bulb just went off (I think). The shingles can only be activated in a person who has already had the cp (naturally or vaccine aquired) by being exposed to a person with cp. Due to the lack of natural cp virus these days, it must be caused by the shedding of the mutant vaccine version of cp. So shingles in the elderly are to occur either way. In the case of the elderly, I'd like to know what makes the shingles aquired from a vaccinated shedding any different or worse than the shingles previously aquired through natural exposure? Bear with me, Kay. Lately, I've been doubting what I think I know about this. Thanks, Anita Kay <dr-ky@...> wrote: My son had shingles last summer when he was 13.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Check out this article about the rise in shingles being tied to the cp vax: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2003/10/prweb83848.php The writer says Because the vaccine is eliminating chickenpox disease, children and adults no longer receive the natural boost to their immune systems that they received from periodic exposures to the disease, " says S. Goldman, Ph.D., author of the study and former research analyst with VASP. " Due to the dramatic decline in chickenpox, children are now experiencing a higher incidence of shingles.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Yes, that does help, Kay, but I'm terribly STUCK with the idea that if the cp vaccine is eliminating the cp disease, how are so many adults still getting the shingles if they are no longer subject to periodic exposure to the disease they once were before the vaccine? Even though exposures to cp disease provide a natural immune boost, aren't these same exposures the cause of the shingles in an immune compromised elder? If not from the cp disease that is being eliminated by the vaccine, what then is responsible for activating the shingles in the elderly? Shedding is all I can think of. I aplogize if it seems I am talking in circles. I will read what you and Sheri N. send and try to figure it out. Thanks so much for the info.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 It is my understanding that you can get shingles without being exposed to chicken pox at that time. You have to have had chicken pox in your life time, but shingles can be activated just purely by a weakened immune system. Most people who get shingles, who are not kids or elderly, get it when they are severely stressed and their immune system is weak.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Good point, . As far as we know, my son wasn't exposed to anyone with chicken pox before he had shingles. But his immune system was a mess at that time. We were with a homeopath that apparently didn't know quite what she was doing, and he was staying sick constantly. We switched homeopaths when the shingles hit, and his health has been MUCH better this past year. Homeopathy in the wrong hands CAN be a dangerous thing! So, yes, I think it has much to do with the individual's terrain at the time. If our immune system is functioning properly, illness isn't an issue.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 That was the missing information I needed to understand how reactivation is possible without cp exposure. Thankyou, C; this changes everything. So, Kay, are you saying that reactivation of the shingles due to any cause would be diminished if there were more cp disease exposures to build immunity. If so, this I can make sense of. The other version I was stuck with just didn't jibe. Anita Kay <dr-ky@...> wrote: Good point, .

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Yes, the natural order of things BEFORE man's interference with vaccines, was for shingles to remain in check with repeated exposure to cp. As we age, we generally have less exposure to children, and thus less exposure to cp, so the risk of shingles increases. Now with fewer children getting acute cases of cp, that exposure has diminished for all of us. And the elderly are typically less healthy because by then they've been so entrenched in the medical system and on multiple drugs for various things. Their immune systems aren't up to par and that contributes to succumbing to any illness.
