CHICKEN POX AND SHINGLES
By Donna Powers
and there's puss and always worse at night. A lot of drooling and it's a keynote of
Mercury. So you'll see that the hands become shaky and all fine movements are a bit
trembly and how you will distinguish between that and Gelsemium is simply because of
the smell. Gelsemium won't have the smelliness that Baptisia will have and the Merc
Sol will have.
DP: And we're at the end of our time together, so hopefully that gives you an idea. I
would never wish the flu on anybody, but when it comes this is a good opportunity for
you to practise using your homeopathic remedies and figuring out what's needed. So
start... It's quite safe for you to do at home, these acute, they have a beginning, a
middle, and an end. If the symptoms are getting worse then you that the person you're
trying to help needs to contact a homoeopath, a naturopath or their physician if it's not
an epidemic or a pandemic. So are there any questions, concerns, clarifications,
anything to share?
DP: I know we all have to get going, so I'm going to take everyone off mute, just so
that we can say our good-byes. Thank you everybody for being here today. Oh, we've
got one hand up. Okay Jan, go ahead.
Donna Powers: Welcome to the Vaccine Free: Now What? 12-week teleseminar
course. This is class 10 where we will continue talking about infectious illnesses. These
illnesses are the ones where conventional vaccines are used as prevention in
childhood, school-age children, teens, and adults now moving into their elder years. I
would be one of those. Today's illnesses being discussed are chicken pox, which is
known clinically as varicella and shingles, which is known medically as herpes zoster.
DP: I'm going to continue with chicken pox and I love my little biology book that I use
from my early years as a student. My Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple. I
love it simply because it was printed in a time where vaccines were being promoted,
but chicken pox was still not what it's being made out to be these days and where a
vaccine is being promoted for prevention. So the bacteria and virology anatomy, if you
will, has not changed that much, but our understanding of the immune system and
how it works has changed tremendously, so the information from the microbiology
textbook is still accurate.
DP: Both chicken pox and herpes come from the same virus family and it's called
herpesviridae. And just so you have an idea of which illnesses fall in this particular virus
family, you have herpes simplex virus, which are your cold sores. And 90% of adults by
their fourth decade are likely have antibodies to HSV 1, is what it's called. Herpes
simplex virus two, which is your genital herpes, is in this same family. Neonatal herpes,
it's one of those ones we've talked about with the TORCH, where it's toxoplasmosis,
rubella, cytomegalovirus virus, herpes or HIV and syphilis. These are the viruses that
can cross the placenta.
DP: And Cam last week had an important story to share with us, what happens with
pregnant mums being given MMR and often now, the chicken pox is included in that
vaccine. So it's really important that if you have friends who are pregnant and being
encouraged to get a booster vaccine during pregnancy, we will be talking a little bit
about some of the caution you have to have and really encourage them to read the
package inserts. Plus I will be giving you a link and some statistics from the vaccine
accident reporting, so the VAERS, V-A-E-R-S, on the chicken pox vaccine.
DP: So in that family, you also have the chicken pox and shingles. Cytomegalovirus is a
liver infection and it can be implicated in mononucleosis. So you can start to see this
little family in a larger kind of way, beyond chicken pox and beyond shingles. The other
one that is implicated is Epstein Barr virus and again it causes mononucleosis and in
certain cancers, Burkitt's Lymphoma. So when you hear of teens getting mono, this is
the family that this is coming from. This virus mostly has to do with a suppressed
immune system or under stress and then this virus is activated.

DP: So, to talk about the chicken pox virus again our good friend, Hilary Butler, at the
whale.to, her article is probably one of the best that you're going to find written on
chicken pox. So again, just to summarize, the herpes simplex 1 are fever blisters or
cold sores. You can get those from the sun as well. I have two family members who,
over exposure to the sun, causes stress and they get these cold sores or fever blisters.
You often see students as well. If you have a tendency toward this kind of viral infection
after any exam or stressful situation, out come the cold sores.
DP: And again, it's the body, if we start to understand the immune system in a holistic
way, it's clearing out these toxins when it's been under a tremendous amount of stress.
The herpes II is a genital herpes and it's sexually transmitted. And then we have
chicken pox or the varicella and herpes zoster which is the shingles, Epstein-Barr virus
or mono. It's also called glandular fever in the UK. So if you're doing any research and
you see glandular fever, that's what they're talking about, is mono.
DP: All of these viruses are what are considered latent. So they're just in the body. And
the chicken pox, when you read Hillary Butler's article, I'll just switch there, the body
can't get rid of these particular viruses. The body, in its wisdom and in immune
system's wisdom, cannot eradicate it but what it does because it can't eradicate it, it
hems it in. And where it stores it, is in the bundle of nerves in the spinal cord or the
cranium.
DP: And since the immune system cannot function here, the virus can stay safely
dormant for decades until the immune system is suppressed, either through stress,
age, pregnancy, cancer treatment, AIDS, primary immunodeficiency or organ
transplant, then the virus can re-appear. And sometimes it can reappear as chicken
pox and at other times though it will come out as shingles.
DP: She's quoted a source that some two out of every 10 people who have had
chicken pox experience shingles. So they're related. They're cousins and generally it's
not likely that you're going to have a second event of chicken pox. As we age, it's more
likely we are going to have an experience of shingles. With the vaccine being
introduced as young as it is now, there is research, I will refer to it later on, to support
that in fact there is an epidemic of shingles amongst children. And it's because of the
vaccines. So again, whatever the disease can create, the vaccine can also create.
DP: So if you're given a chicken pox vaccine, the body cannot eradicate it and it will
store. And under stress or illness, then the chicken pox can express itself in shingles.
So logically on one level, you can just realize that yes, that if you think about it, it is
possible for children then to get shingles. And so the solution in conventional
vaccination world is to have the shingles vaccine.

DP: So what are the technical terms when the body kind of puts this all at bay and kind
of stores it in the body? It's through the cell mediated immune response. So if you go
back to your Th1 and Th2 handout, you will be able to sort out what's happening there,
at an immune system response. So right now, I would like to go through the signs and
symptoms of chicken pox, the illness. It's a flu-like symptom, itchy rash of spots that
look like blisters and it's very contagious. And that's an unusual thing to say because I
know of many parents who choose to be vaccine free and consider going to the
chicken pox party in the hopes that their children will then get chicken pox and you'll
be done with it.
DP: And in fact the body in it's wisdom and susceptibility factors, your children may or
may not get chicken pox. It's not always guaranteed that you go to a chicken pox party
and your children will get chicken pox. They will get chicken pox when the body is
ready to have an experience of chicken pox. And it's probably one of the greatest
lessons we can learn, the idea of chicken pox parties. You could go to five or six of
them and your child does not get chicken pox. And then out of the blue, seven months
later, your child gets chicken pox. And that's because they're ready for it. So again,
there is some argument about the vaccine schedule and artificially inducing an immune
system response when perhaps that individual child is not ready for that kind of an
experience with that particular illness.
DP: So some children have a fever, there can be abdominal pain, there can be a sore
throat, there can be a headache, or just a vague sick feeling a day or two before the
rash appears. And the fever can range between 100 and 102 Fahrenheit or between 37
and 38, 39 centigrade. Actually chicken pox was not a vaccine that was offered when
my children were young, so I can tell you an anecdotal story of that. I did not know my
children had been exposed to chicken pox. I was at my parent's place around
Christmas time, and my oldest son woke up in the middle of the night with a very high
fever. And at that time, I likely used Children's Tylenol because I didn't know any better
then. And my mum was there and she was helpful. So I probably didn't use a lot
because she didn't, as a rule, use Children's Tylenol or anything like that.
DP: And so feverish for two days, and then out came the spots, and she knew he's got
chicken pox. And then it was about four, five, six, seven days later that my youngest
son then also got a fever in the middle of the night, and we knew right away it was
going to be chicken pox as well. What mums will tell you anecdotally that as you go
down the line with your children, it will get worse. So, in fact, my youngest had chicken
pox far worse than the oldest child did. And at that point, I only used things like
oatmeal baths and tried to keep them from itching. I probably used calamine lotion
because that was what my mum knew to use. So, nowadays, I would not. I wouldn't do
that at all. But you'll see that that sometimes is still advised.

DP: So, children are contagious from about two days before the rash appears and lasts
until all the blisters are crusted over. And a child with chicken pox, keep them home
until all the blisters have dried, and that's usually about a week. And siblings will likely
start to show symptoms two weeks after the first child. I don't think mine was as long
as two weeks because we would have only been there for Christmas or for two weeks.
So, I think in our situation it was seven days. So, it's possible that they were... Had
both been exposed at the same time. Now, people who haven't had chicken pox also
can catch chicken pox from someone with shingles. Okay, we have a question here.
Ellen, go ahead.
Ellen: Yeah. Sorry to interrupt, just well, I was thinking of it in my brain.
DP: That's okay.
Ellen: Because we had discussed whether or not we should use essential oils on the
skin, and I did forward that question to the Master Herbalist Blaine Andrusek, who's in
Calgary. And I haven't heard back from him yet. So, when I hear, I will tell everyone
what I found.
DP: Okay. You'll share that. Great. What Ellen and I are talking about is when there's a
fever and the fever breaks, as soon as the body starts to create a fever, move into the
inflammatory response, internally there's a whole sequence of events. And one of the
things that's happening internally is the body's ability to create it's own antibiotics
inside. And then when the fever breaks in chicken pox, again this is Hilary Butler's
information, the skin, once it breaks, the sweat then, inside the sweat itself, are
antibiotics that are on the skin which will help prevent secondary skin infections.
DP: And this is what you will hear as a concern, is that the possibility for a staph
infection when there's these open sores, it's a possibility. And it certainly is. It's a
possibility. But if things are going along in a normal healthy child with the fever, the
fever breaks, the advice from Hilary Butler and even from conventional medicine, like
the NICE, National Institute Children's something, and they have a report on fever
study that they did. So, wash the bed clothes, wash the jammies, but avoid washing
the skin so that the skin, the little pustules can open. They can ooze and they will scab
over, and you won't have scarring and less likelihood of an infection, a secondary
infection.
DP: So, shingles as well can have this kind of eruption or oozing as well. It's much
more painful. Because it's been stored in the final column where the nervous system is
and all of its little areas that it reaches out to is much more painful than chicken pox.
Chicken pox tends to be quite itchy. So, conventional common sense treatment is

DP: Now if you end up going to the hospital or to your doctor, it's possible that you will
be offered acyclovir, which is an antiviral drug for five days treatment, it's $170. And for
those who are immunocompromised, Zovirax seven days intravenously is $3,300 and
for Zovirax-resistant virus there's another one offered, it's $2,100 and it's not FDA
approved. You will be offered antihistamines, Tylenol, fever suppressant, sometimes
steroids and... So, there you go. That's what you will be offered.
DP: And in fact, if your child is just simply dehydrated or is having trouble breathing but
there's no lung infection, you may just want to ask for oxygen for a little while. And
again, if you have to agree with the treatment that is being offered, always know that
you can go back to your homoeopath, you can go back to your naturopath and you
can be able to find ways to help your child recover, heal, and strengthen the whole
system after an event that's gone sideways.
DP: So, those are the main pieces of information I wanted to give you with that. Now,
the other little book that I love going to because it's so handy and small is Dr. Dorothy
Shepherd, Homeopathy and Epidemic Diseases. And in her day and age, chicken pox,
there was the possibility of a misdiagnosis and missing the disease small pox. So I am
going to talk a little bit about that simply because you may have loved onefamily,
friendswho are missionaries going to developing countries where small pox is still an
issue and you might want to be able to help them with this differentiation.
DP: Small pox is gonna be quite a bit more serious than a chicken pox. And she just
mentions if one member of a family develops chicken pox, usually everyone else is
going to get chicken pox and/or shingles. I have to tell you, my husband also had
shingles. He had it approximately seven to 10 years ago. It was very painful. We used
homeopathic remedies and he recovered quite nicely. I never got it. Nobody else
around us got anything with it at all. So he was under a tremendous amount of stress
and we just used homeopathic remedies and some vitamin supplements.
DP: His sister got it last year and was very, very sick with it and I offered to help with
homoeopathy and unfortunately it was one of those situations I did not get the remedy
right or if I got the remedy right, I got the potency wrong and she ended up going to
get antivirals, which in fact did not help, but she didn't say that. And every year now
she gets a shingles vaccine. So you can love your family and offer your help but
sometimes they do what they want to do and that's okay. I'm learning to live with those
things. Not everybody loves homoeopathy as much as I do.
DP: So with chicken pox, the eruption shows itself on the trunk, on the chest and back
and it spreads to the face and arms. And it shows more on the body than on the face
and more thickly on the shoulders and upper arms than on the wrists and hands. More

DP: So, the other thing that's nice about the University of Maryland link that you will
get is that it shows what the chicken pox looks like on a small child if you haven't dealt
with it. If you've not seen somebody with Herpes or a shingles, herpes zoster, what you
will notice is that it's only on one side of the body. It will be left side or right side, which
is helpful in terms of looking for a homeopathic remedy to give for shingles.
DP: With my husband, it was on his left side. And when you get concerned is when it
starts showing up on the face, so of course we're entering near the blood-brain barrier
and wanting to be watchful and careful with that. Near the nose and near the eyes,
anywhere where these infection can sometimes start proliferating. But it will cross, so
where it was on my husband's left side, when it showed up on his face and neck, it
was on his right side. And that simply is a reflection of how the spinal cord and the
nervous system is set up between the right brain and left brain and how it connects to
the extremities below the neck. So, that's how you will also know that you've got
shingles.
DP: So, I'm going to go through the shingles symptoms a little bit. The University of
Maryland website link is actually very, very good. They go into specific complications of
chicken pox and of shingles, really good information. Sometimes some people post
shingles end up having nerve sensations for a very long time and there are
homeopathic remedies that you can use to cover those kinds of symptoms. So
shingles nearly always occurs in adults. That is changing now because of the
introduction of the chicken pox vaccine. So you will be seeing children now who may
possibly be getting shingles.
DP: There's a cluster of warning symptoms about three to four days before the
outbreak of the infection. And again, these can look flu-like; chills, fever, nausea and
muscle aches. So again, if you give a really good, well indicated homeopathic remedy
based on some characteristic symptoms at this stage, you may never know that it was
shingles you were dealing with. But, there are some abnormal sensations like tingling,
itching and burning, or a feeling of pins and needles and then having deep pain and the
skin may be unbearably sensitive to touch. With my husband, even a slight draft or a
slight amount of cloth against his skin where he had these eruptions was so exquisitely
sensitive and he had some other symptoms that have been solved with the remedy
that we used with him, although it's not the one that always comes up.
DP: But this is where you can individualize, and if you get stuck, just contact the
Facebook forum for a little while and if there's someone they'll help with that. And
contact your homoeopath or your naturopath. You may have to individualize a remedy
for the symptoms. In the act of infection, there is a rash that appears, and it is usually
on the trunk. But it can develop on the legs, arms, and then when that starts moving up

DP: So you may be given anti-convulsive drugs, opioid or opioid-like drugs, this is for
severe neurological pain. Anything from Percocet, Percodan, OxyContin, sometimes
morphine and then you have the side effects of those Tramadol is another pain reliever
that maybe used. I suspect my sister-in-law was on all of those. If it become chronic
then you'll be sent for pain management techniques. And then some have to resort to
surgery. And the surgery is in the brain or spinal cord and it's attempt to block nerve
centres associated with postherpetic neuralgia, that is the PHN is what it's called.
DP: This would be extreme complications, not likely in very healthy people or healthy
children. If we're talking about a child or an adult who is heavily immunocompromised,
whether it's through vaccine damage or through the illness itself, I don't know. I haven't
heard of any children needing this surgery but if there's more of an epidemic happening
with children having shingles, then you do need to be aware of this. The surgery is
absolutely a last resort and living in that kind of pain, I'm sure at any point you might
actually... I really sympathize for people living in that kind of pain. You maybe driven to
that to that kind of desperation.
DP: So the other link that will be in your follow-up email is Dr. Mercola has... It's, from
November 2nd, 2010, and he quote some research that's all very good about the
vaccine and about chicken pox, shingles, and the vaccine. The vaccine is only
temporary which is similar to what I was told MMR was going to be immunity for life,
it's not. So boosters are being offered for children, my children's age, adult who are in
child-bearing years. And the MMR does have the chicken pox in it as well.
DP: So the VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, this is the one in
the US. I didn't quote the Canadian one simply because it hasn't been keeping track as
long. If you go to the National Vaccine Information Centre, one of the parents has
actually created this database so that you have access to it. So read package inserts
and then your next step is always to go and find out what the adverse events are with
any particular vaccine product. And it's set up very easily, so I just put in where the
VARIVAX vaccine by Merck and serious events and it listed 281. It gives me a count of
younger then three years, there was 1600 or 56% had a serious adverse reactions.
DP: With the VAERS, it is public knowledge and acknowledged on the Centre For
Disease Control and other... Or the reputable, considered reputable in the conventional
medical world. That it is under-reported, the accidents, the adverse reactions are
under-reported. And that what you read on the VAERS database is about 10%
reportings. So, you can multiply these statistics. Three to six years, 465 and then it
goes down as the age increases until you get 17-44 years old, and you get 201. But the
children that are being vaccinated for under three years, 1600 serious events. And the
first one right-off is convulsions. So, remember when I read off the complications that

Cam: So, you understand what I'm asking? It doesn't make sense...
DP: Yeah. Why...
Cam: Why would you vaccinate for something? Even the ad, it says it's already inside
you. Well, if it's already there, then why would you need a vaccine to prevent it?
DP: Exactly. And all I can think is that if there is a possibility of triggering it or
completely suppressing the immune system again. Like there is no way I would ever
gonna get a shingles vaccine. Again, it's an advertisement and I just don't think people
are thinking it through.
Cam: Well, even as much... So I have it. And I have been to two doctors and they both
offered me the vaccine. And I wasn't able...
DP: And you've already had the shingles?
Cam: Yes, I have shingles. Well, I'm not a 100% sure. I have never had it cultured, and
hence mine's a little different because I actually do get it on both sides.
DP: Oh! Interesting.
Cam: But it's always in the exact same spot. And, it's on the base of my spine where
that nerve bundle is.
DP: Right.
Cam: And, it's right there. So, it's right in the middle. So, when I say it's on both sides,
it's not like I have it on one hip, and then on the other hip. It's right in the middle. And,
it's always the same spot, on where that big bundle of nerves is at the base of your
spine.
DP: Right. And you've had it more than once?
Cam: A lot. Yeah. I've had two doctors tell me that, yes, it's shingles and two other
ones that said, "It's some form of herpes, but I don't know what. Unless you want to
pay to have it cultured, yes, it looks like shingles, but because of its placement... "

DP: Right, it makes it a bit unusual. And, have you used homeopathic remedies to help
support your system through it?
Cam: The only one that I have... Not successfully, no. The only thing that I've done that
seems to really help is lysine.
DP: Yeah.
Cam: Large doses of lysine.
DP: Yeah, and you can use those for the cold sores as well.
Cam: But, the thing that I think is interesting is I had chicken pox twice. I had it once as
a baby, and I didn't have it very bad. And, then when I got older, I got it again. But, in
addition to the chicken pox, I had an allergic reaction to the chicken pox. [laughter]
DP: So, almost like an autoimmune...
Cam: Yes, and I had a rash from head to toe on top of the chicken pox rash.
DP: Wow!
Cam: It was really interesting. They actually called in some immunology students to
come and look, [laughter] to come and look at me.
DP: That is an interesting puzzle. And, of course what I wanna do is start digging in my
books, because I'm looking at the homeopathic preparation varicella, homeopathic
chicken pox, and see what the picture is for that. It just seems like that disease, that
particular virus has grafted itself somewhere within you, that you have acquired a
susceptibility to that. So, in my world, in my understanding it would make sense that
your children might have reactions to like an MMR vaccine with the chicken pox in it.
Cam: And yes, and they did. Well, one of them did. The other one I didn't vaccinate.
But, so I took... The only thing that I've ever tried homeopathically for is Rhus Tox. And,
I don't know if either I'm not dosing it correctly or... But, it hasn't helped. And, I figured
it would be the one that would.
DP: Right. And, it's the number one, one that comes up for chicken pox. Now is it
mostly shingles that comes up for you?
Cam: Yes.

www.powersofhomeopathy.com
DP: Okay. So Rhus Tox is there and the other one is ranunculus bulbosa. And we can
talk about that shortly here. I'm going through the homeopathic remedies. Are we all
ready to do that? Okay. So I think that's what I'll do. Okay. So, thanks for sharing that.
Cam, yes, that is unusual. You're just so unique.
[laughter]
Cam: Lucky me.
DP: Okay. So, let's start with the chicken pox remedies. Because, there is one that I
really want you to know, and to know well. Simply because so another story, my mum
lives in Winnipeg. Her neighbour is a grandma. And, her daughter and son-in-law opted
to be vaccine-free. Their child did get chicken pox. This isn't to alarm you. It's just so
that you know. And, whether they... Again, I don't know all of the details, whether they
used Tylenol for fever or not, but the child ended up... The spots did not come out the
way they should have.
DP: This is one thing you really want to have happen. You want those spots to come
out. And, there is one homeopathic remedy. If you know and suspect that this is
chicken pox, and they've only had one or two and you're thinking "Oh, isn't this great,
this isn't going to be as bad as I thought, I don't even have to use the remedy." And, if
they happen to go into convulsions, or brain inflammation... So, again when I pointed
out to you on the VAERS where convulsion's is one of the top serious adverse events
to a vaccine, this is one of the serious adverse events that can come with the illness if
the spots do not come out.
DP: And, the remedy you will want to use with the children is Antimonium tart.
Antimonium tart, the children will be very moody, kind of ugly. They won't want to be
looked at, or they will say things, "Tell so-and-so sibling not to look a me. He's looking
at me again!" They'll want up, they'll want down. They won't know exactly what it is
that they want to do. They'll be a bit contrary with that. They won't want to be touched.
And very easily annoyed. They want to be left alone. And then you'll have the opposite
where they're clingy. They might wanna bite as well.
DP: So these are not happy children at all. The Antimonium tart and Antimonium crud
will often be in combination homeopathic remedies for several different kinds of
eruptions. You will see them recommended also for measles or rubella. Sometimes that
will be the right one. But the Antimonium tart will want apple juice or apples and
sometimes they're just difficult to discern when you're being really conscientious about
what your child is eating or drinking. But if they're wanting apples or fresh apple juice in
whatever form that you're familiar with giving it to them, they will crave that. Children

Barb: I was just going to make a comment. I found it quite interesting about the kids
who are now getting shingles who have had the chicken pox virus, because my
teenage niece has had the shingles once this year and they think she's had it twice.
Yeah, so it's very interesting. Something to look out for when she knows she's in times
of stress to look at the extra supplementation, as well.
DP: Exactly.
Barb: Yeah. Thanks for that, that's very interesting.
DP: Yeah. Yeah, really boost that and you'd really be able to really help her in an acute
with that, Barb, to help with the...
Barb: Yeah, I helped her the first time and, yeah, it did work good.
DP: Yeah. What did you use?
Barb: Oh, I knew you were gonna ask. No, I would have to look it up. [laughter] I don't
remember everything like you do.
[laughter]
DP: Well, I'm glad to hear that you were able to help her because that will go a long
way for likely making it less problematic if she has another one.
Barb: Right.
DP: But yeah, definitely it's the vitamin C, and vitamin A, and as Cam mentioned lysine.
Lysine is one that I've used... I have a friend who often gets cold sores, very bad ones,
and she uses that quite effectively.
Barb: Okay. Thank you.
DP: Yeah. You're welcome.
Cam: I wanted to mention, I have a friend, another one of the thinking mums who got
shingles for the first time last year and her kids actually got the chicken pox from her
having shingles.
DP: Yes. Yes.

DP: Well in my own little quiet introverted way, I'm happy doing this kind of thing.
Debbie Brock was kind of a stretch for me, but I realized you were my friends on the
call so... Felt good. So take care and next week, we are talking about the last
pneumococcal and then the one after that is Hepatitis A, B, and C and any other travel
vaccines or prevention that you want to talk about, just send me an email and I'll try
and cover those as well, okay? Take care, have a great week.
