Measles Mania And What To Do About It

There is no doubt that measles outbreaks are making headlines.

While mainstream media pushes vaccination as the answer, critics claim that news sources like NBC are using photo-shopped stock footage with measles added to add to the hysteria.

So, who is telling the truth?  And what sources can we trust? The following are a few basic facts to help you know “what to do about it”.

1. God’s plan for “none of these diseases” of the Egyptians cited in Exodus 15:26 was not based on immunization, but on obeying God’s health laws.

2.  Although it is hard to tell from an archaeological perspective if the Egyptians had measles, some of the symptoms are listed in Bible records.  Deut. 28:22 lists “fever” and “inflammation” while Deut. 28:27 lists “the botch of Egypt, ... with the scab, and with the itch…” This pretty much covers the symptoms of measles—high fever, cough, runny nose and a characteristic rash. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/photos.html

3.  Sometimes, especially in immunosuppressed people, (those who have HIV, or are taking immunosuppressive drugs like chemotherapy or corticosteroids) measles can cause complications that may sometimes in turn lead to death—these include pneumonia, middle-ear infections, bronchitis and encephalitis (swelling of the brain).  “In developed countries, death occurs in one to two cases out of every 1,000 (0.1–0.2%).[73] In populations with high levels of malnutrition and a lack of adequate healthcare, mortality can be as high as 10%.” ¹

4.  Vaccination is less than 100% effective against measles, even if everyone has been vaccinated. For example, during a 1984 “outbreak” of 21 measles cases in Illinois: “The outbreak involved 16 high school students, all of whom had histories of measles vaccination after 15 months of age documented in their school health records.”  In fact, the school population had a documented immunization level of 100%. ²

1. The Best Defense is a Good Offense—Boost your immune system. Get plenty of sunshine, rest, and fresh air and nutrition.

Vitamin C boosting foods are always a good choice. Ginger, garlic, elderberry and elderflower are antiviral. If you know you’ve been exposed, boost your immune system with a cold mitten friction.

If you still get the measles, try natural remedies.  Boost your Vitamin A.  The Mayo Clinic states, “Children with low levels of vitamin A are more likely to have a more severe case of measles. Giving vitamin A may lessen the severity of the measles. It's generally given as a large dose of 200,000 international units (IU) for children older than a year.”³ That is at least 1 whole baked sweet potato in its skin, or a cup of boiled spinach or  1 cup of raw carrots daily.⁴

Also try these comfort measures: Make sure you get rest, drink plenty of water and herbal teas or fruit juice to replace fluids lost by fever and sweating.  Rest your eyes and protect them from bright light. For the fever, “simply sponge the child lightly with hot water or give a brief hot bath (100-104°F or 38-40°C) about one minute for each year of the child’s age, to draw the blood to the skin for cooling. 

Repeat every two hours until the fever has finished.” ⁵ Adding finely ground oatmeal and or cornstarch to your bathwater may help alleviate itching. Recommended herbs include:  Peppermint, Chamomile, Yarrow, and Ginger. ⁶

More herbs: Licorice, Olive Leaf,

Also, Vitamin E oil.

Cover affected skin with a light paste comprised of coconut oil and lime juice. Another home remedy for itching rashes that involves coconut is to mix coconut juice with tomato to create a healing solution.

Wrap a washcloth around a handful of ice cubes and directly apply to itchy skin. This should ease daily itching and reduce the appearance of a rash. An effective substitute for ice is to press a bag of frozen vegetables to your skin.

Combine an equal amount of lemon extract, aloe vera, and vitamin E oil. Apply the mixture to affected skin for soothing relief from itching. A suggested amount of ingredients is one to two tablespoons.

Mix vitamin C powder and water together to create a soothing home remedy for itchy rashes that is applied directly to the skin. The vitamin offers relief in the form of antioxidants.

Magnesium Deficiency Triggers or Causes The Following Conditions

1. Anxiety and Panic attacks – Magnesium (Mg) normally keeps adrenal stress hormones under control.
2. Asthma – Both histamine production and bronchial spasms increase with Mg deficiency.
3. Blood clots – Mg has an important role to play in preventing blood clots and keeping the blood thin -much like aspirin but without the side effects.
4. Bowel disease – Mg deficiency slows down the bowel causing constipation, which could lead to toxicity and malabsorption of nutrients, as well as colitis.
5. Cystitis – Bladder spasms are worsened by Mg deficiency.
6. Depression – Serotonin, which elevates moods, is dependent on Mg. A Mg-deficient brain is also more susceptible to allergens, foreign substances that can cause symptoms similar to mental illness.
7. Detoxification – Mg is crucial for the removal of toxic substances and heavy metals such as aluminum and lead.
8. Diabetes – Mg enhances insulin secretion, facilitating sugar metabolism. Without Mg insulin is not able to transfer glucose into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood causing various types of tissue damage.
9. Fatigue – Mg. deficient patients commonly experience fatigue because dozens of enzyme systems are under-functioning. An early symptom of Mg deficiency is frequently fatigue.
10. Heart disease – Mg deficiency is common in people with heart disease. Mg is administered in hospitals for acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmia. Like any other muscle, the heart muscle requires Mg. Mg is also used to treat angina, or chest pain.
11. Hypertension – With insufficient Mg, spasm of blood vessels and high cholesterol occur, both of which lead to blood pressure problems.
12. Hypoglycemia – Mg keeps insulin under control; without Mg episodes of low blood sugar can result.
13. Insomnia – Sleep regulating melatonin production is disturbed without sufficient Mg.
14. Kidney Disease – Mg deficiency contributes to atherosclerotic kidney failure. Mg deficiency creates abnormal lipid levels and worsening blood sugar control in kidney transplant patients.
15.  Liver Disease leading to liver failure – Mg deficiency commonly occurs during liver transplantation.
16. Migraine – Serotonin balance is Mg dependent. Deficiency of serotonin can result in migraine headaches and depression.
17. Musculoskeletal conditions – Fibrositis, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, eye twitches, cramps and chronic neck and back pain may be caused by Mg. deficiency and can be relieved with eating foods high in Mg. Nerve problems – Mg. alleviates peripheral nerve disturbances throughout the whole body, such as migraines, muscle contractions, gastrointestinal spasms, and calf, foot and toe cramps. It is also used in treating central nervous symptoms of vertigo and confusion.
18.  Obstetrics and Gynecology – Mg prevents Premenstrual Syndrome; prevents dysmenorrhea (cramping pain during menses); is important in the treatment of infertility; and alleviates premature contractions, preeclampsia, and eclampsia in pregnancy. Intravenous Mg is given in obstetrical wards for pregnancy-induced hypertension and to lessen the risk of cerebral palsy and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Mg increase should be required for pregnant mothers.
19. Osteoporosis – Use of calcium with Vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption without 2-3 times more Mg causes further Mg deficiency, which triggers a cascade of events leading to bone loss.
20. Raynaud’s Syndrome – Mg helps relax the spastic blood vessels that cause pain and numbness of the fingers.
21. Tooth decay – Mg deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorus and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth. Material excerpted from Dean, Carolyn. The Miracle of Magnesium (2003 Ballantine Books: New York, NY), 2003. pp. 5-7.
