Measles
Quote from Guest on March 24, 2019, 1:17 am
does Anyone know the science behind the body using vitamin-a during Measles? And Why some claim to Cure/soothe measles by supplementing vitamin-a? Many claim poor people lacking vit-a are much more susbceptible to Measles.
I have a friend who doesnt want to vaccinate but is planning on giving vitamin-a in the case of her child getting Measles so i need som science:)

I know this isn't exactly the answer you are looking for but measles depletes the bodies Vitamin A stores so I believe the measles is a good thing. Here's an article that my be of interest. I am opposed to vaccines but this patient getting measles helped her. http://www.startribune.com/mayo-clinic-patient-treated-by-massive-measles-dose-still-cancer-free-5-years-later/485087011/

I've been curious about this also, my thoughts are that most of the studies about vitamin A deficiency being the cause of mortality, blindness, and other complications of Measles are always based on very malnourished places where they believe Vitamin A deficiency is already harming everyone. But looking at just the extreme malnourished factor, there are tons of reasons why a measles infection would cause complications, I'm sure any infections in those areas would have dire outcomes.
anyway Vitamin A supplementing is only recommended in areas of known deficiency during Measles according to WHO and pediatrics
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11869601
And this shows no difference in outcome of blindness when vit A is given in a random-double blind study.

I'm curious to hear others thoughts too.

If A is a plant poison used to fight off bad things perhaps that is it's use in the human body as well? Because, as Grant says: it's toxic!
Perhaps prolonged wellness (and use of drugs rather than the innate immune system) is another way our A stores become too high?
I have rosacea, and always notice that my rosacea gets much better after a day or so of FEVER
