(14,337 posts)Back in the 70s when I was in my 20s, I got a very bad stomach flu. High temperature, vomiting, diahaeera. I could keep nothing down. I let it run it's course, never went to a doctor, and got better. No, I might have DIED!
Ten years later, my husband, 5 year old daughter, and 9 month old daughter came down with exactly the same thing. I was not sick. My older daughter and husband went to the doctor and were given antibiotics. My baby daughter had it to but not to the extreme they did. I was still nursing her. Under a year old, she could not take the meds they did.
Her pediatrician said to stop feeding, and nursing her, and give her Pedialyte. If she did not keep it down, she would have to be hospitalized. She vomited it. Against doctor's orders, I nursed her. She did not vomit the breast milk and went to sleep. I did this against "doctor's orders". I called LeLeche League who gave me the name of another doctor. "YOU are not sick?" "YOU had this flu before". "SHE isn't vomiting when she nurses?" "It sounds to me that you have developed antibodies having had this before". "If she isn't vomiting the breast milk, then NURSE her". "If you have antibodies, you (human vaccine) will pass those on to her in the breast milk". I guess I was a SUPER HUMAN even then according to a DOCTOR 30 years ago. I let her nurse like a newborn for 24 hours and she was fine. Gained back all the weight she lost. I never got sick with all my family having it. NATURAL IMMUNITY from having the disease. Look up what natural immunity is, and how DOCTORS acknowledge that. Oh, no. I might have DIED. Everyone who isn't immunized will DIE.
No, I am stupid, but SUPERWOMAN, and don't know what the hell I am talking about. I should be dead and shut up.
