Re: should I expose my son to chicken pox?

[Guest guest]

Oh, this brings back memories! Even as late as when my son was a baby (he's

10), people had " chicken pox " parties where all the mommies brought their little

angels to play with the kid who got chicken pox! I had the chicken pox as a

child, my ex had it as an adult and was seriously sick. They won't be getting

the vaccine and I want them to have it as children. I'll be interested to hear

if anyone can explain why we shouldn't want our kids to be exposed. Great

question!

What's the chances of ever getting the chicken pox without *forced* natural

exposure or vaccination?

If you see this as a rare opportunity maybe the disease is rare. If you did not

vaccinate your child for chicken pox ask yourself why. Perhaps you will recall

the answer.

Natural exposure is actually preferable to needle exposure, but either carry an

unnecessary risk if it's likely the only natural exposure will come from

visiting a friend on purpose. Needle exposure also requires boosting all the

time which is not too good for the body and great for drug company profits.

I know malaria is out there, but I don't go tromping in the swamps in hopes to

contract it.

Hello to all of you!

I am in the midst of round 16 and I'm seeing amazing results. Thanks

to all of you for your advice. Without y'all, I wouldn't have the

confidence to do this without a doctor.

I never gave my son the varicella vaccine, and he's 9 years old. I

know of a child with chicken pox, and I'm debating exposing my son so

he can get the virus before he gets any older. Am I crazy? Have any

of you been in this predicament?

Thanks,

This is something I am also going to have to consider at some time. I have one

son who got the vaccine and two children who didn't. Not going to consider

vaccination but am concerned about them getting it as an adult when there are

some good risks there. I really don't worry so much about them getting it as

children. A nine year old is certainly old enough to handle such a thing. My

youngest is only 16 months old so I am not at all ready for her to take on such

a virus.

I am starting to get into homeopathy and likely they can do a lot with chicken

pox. I haven't been to our new homeopath yet but that is one of the many things

on my list.

If you do decide to expose your son I would definitely make sure he was really

healthy and was supplemented for viruses heavily so maybe he can get the

exposure and fight it off but still getting getting immunity (think this is

right!) or he will get a lighter case and recover quicker.

I don't know if there is a 'best' answer, only the right one for you and your

son. Sorry and good luck!

When my son had chicken pox at age 6, he landed up being

hospitalized over night for dehydration. My son has severe problems

with swallowing (hes on a pureed diet at age 19)and when hes sick,

he wont drink liquids at all. I was very lucky that his doctor didnt

order any drugs, just fluid IV's for 24 hours. He was back to him

old self a couple of days later.

Some children do get very sick with chicken pox. But I agree with my

sons doctor its from being dehydrated that causes them to be very

sick.

Just do what your doing with the chelation, and build up your child

immune system. If he ever does get chicken pox, push fluids, and

plenty of bed rest.

I know on another list the moms have chicken pox parties to expose

their children. We basically did the same thing for our kids years

ago, All the kids at my church had chicken pox at the same time.

Dear

My father emigrated to Canada from India as an adult. Chicken Pox is

not as common there, I think, and when my sister and I got it, my dad

did too. He very, very nearly died. It's serious stuff for an adult.

Does this mean I think I know what you should do? Not at all. I'm

wondering the same thing for my NT daughter, who didn't get a chicken

pox vaccine. I paid $70 to get the vaccine for my son, before I wised

up. And before he received his diagnosis.

I too believe that is better to expose your children to this now, if you have

the chance.

It is true though that our kids might get sicker than others.

I had a very bad case of chicken pox.

My son, when he was 1 yo, had something that looked like chicken pox, but

doctors weren't sure. It was a very mild form and... you're not supposed to

have chicken pox before the age of 3 (I can't remember why... maybe I'm wrong

about this)

I'm glad that I purposely exposed my kids to chicken pox when they

were little. I'm glad that I was exposed to it as a kid. We were all

exposed again at Christmas (no warning) and if my kids and I didn't

have immunity I (we)would be in a mess and in quarantine right now.

We were all just recovering from a major illness and it wouldn't have

been a good time.

I wouldn't expose a child that is under a lot of stress or who has

poor immunity. Chicken pox was fairly difficult for my 'allergic'

child. For my 'not allergic' child, I had to examine him with a

magnifying glass and I still wasn't sure that he actually had it.

My kids got the chickenpox within two weeks of each other. One got a pretty

severe case, one was extremely mild, and one was moderate. Nevertheless, we

got through it and they didn't need a vaccine!

It really surprises me to hear people have such a fear of this disease! When I

was a child, absolutely everyone got it and no one had complications that I ever

knew. I talked to my mom about it today, and she said the same thing. I had

the mumps, whooping cough, who knows what else. Life is a risk, and I

personally feel my risks were minimized because I wasn't exposed to all the

garbage my sons have been exposed to thanks to the government, the

pharmaceutical industry and the medical community, which I now believe is much

worse. Personally, I think complications are rare and the disease itself is no

more dangerous than many things we don't give a thought to now. You can

experience serious complications from just about any illness. Fear of chicken

pox is relatively new. How much of our fear is grounded in the very propoganda

machines that brought us to this list in the first place? Being on top of your

child's symptoms as he/she progresses through the illness is the best medicine.

Getting it as an adult is guaranteed dangerous. Now that scares me, and I won't

go there with my kids unless I have to. So far I haven't heard anything to sway

me into feeling otherwise.

Something to really consider is that I heard somewhere that there were

indications that the immunity you received from the chicken pox vaccine was not

guaranteed to be lifelong, setting you up for getting it as an adult when you're

thinking you're safe since you had the vax, and that boosters were possibly

going to be recommended. Has anyone else read anything about this? I hate to

come on the list without actual facts, but not really sure where to look to

verify. Just know I read it somewhere.

You know, nature always finds a way, and I am not very comfortable with all the

controls we are constantly pushed to use.

I don't fear my children getting the chicken pox as children, though I would

prefer my daughter be at least two. I fear them getting it as an adult.

Complications with children are rare but as an adult it is a different story.

Fear of this disease is definitely brought on by the pharma companies. They

are the only ones to gain in this. Same thing with bird flu. I just read that

this flu strain has been known to exist for some 40 years or so. Why is the

panic over mutation going on now...to boost fear and increase want for the

vaccine.

COUPLE SPOTS AND THE OTHER NEVER GOT ANYTHING BUT IM HOPING THE

NATURAL WAY THAN TO RECIEVE A VACCINE THAT MAY COMPROMISE MY IMMUNE

SYSTEM AND ABILITY TO FIGHT A SUBSEQUENT SHINGLES EPISODE LATER IN

LIFE AS THIS CAN OCCUR WITH GETTING POX.THEY SAY THE VACCINE LOWERS

THE RISK OF SHINGLES HOW DO THEY KNOW IT WAS ONLY DEVELOPED A FEW

YEARS BACK SO THEY SUBSEQUENTLY COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN ABLE TO

RESEARCH THIS.I THINK THE VACCINE MAY EVEN INCREASE RISK SO PHARMA

CAN THEN DEVELOP A SHINGLES DRUG/VACCINE BECAUSE 40 OR SO YEARS FROM

NOW THERE WILL BE A HUGE OUTBREAK.JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH,I WILL

PERSONALLY NEVER TAKE ANY VACCINE OR GIVE TO CHILDREN EVER. EVEN WAY

BACK IN LATE 70'S MY MOM FOUGHT THE RUBELLA SHOT FOR ME BECAUSE I

HAVE ANTIBODIES TO IT AND OUR FAMILY DOC SAID I WOULD MORE THAN

LIKELY DIE. HE KNEW THE REACTIONS THESE SHOTS CAUSE TO US WHO HAVE

NATURAL IMMUNITIES WHICH WOULD SUPRISE MANY TO KNOW THAT MOST OF US

NATURALLY HAVE. GOD INTENDED THIS TO PROTECT US AND NOW SCIENCE IS

TRYING TO PLAY GOD FOR US ALBEIT VERY POORLY...
