in thinking Measles can't be more dangerous now than it was 15 years ago ?

[Onajourney]

Hi

Wondering if there are any GP's out there that can tell me this ?

My eldest child is 15 and I still have his baby books and they say Measles is a mild disease and just to keep their temperature down etc, they liken it to chickenpox. I remember not being worried about it at all when he and his 11 year old brother were small.

Fast forward 14 years and we have a 1 year old who is at "huge risk from this killer disease" according our GP, but I can't understand how it can have changed so much.

Can anyone tell me, is Measles worse now than it was 15 years ago and if so why ?

Thanks

I read once about a mum who would give her son digestive enzymes and when people remarked on the improvement in his condition, would not bother to say what the cause was because of all the and would just say "oh he had some speech therapy" or some such acceptable explanation.

there has been a scientific acknowledgment of a link between diet/gut and autism for quite some time, although your gp wouldn't know it.

Mike Tettenborn has helped huge numbers of children and is an NHS consultant. He does recommend MMR.

Measles always was dangerous to some -- 30 years ago they nearly killed me and left vision damage. If you choose not to vaccinate your child you expose them to a serious illness and put others at risk who could become gravely ill.
