Vaccines and You

Why Should Consumers and Nurses Educate Themselves on this Issue?

It is important for nurses to understand the worries and apprehension of parents facing the decision of whether or not to vaccinate their children. If a nurse can sympathize with parents and get to understand their hesitation, teaching will become easier. As, medical personnel, a nurse would immediately suggest all possible vaccines for children to protect not only their patient but also to cut down the “herd effect” in schools and maybe one day eliminate the disease altogether. Nurses need to recognize the concerns and fears of parents when it comes to their children and with this knowledge they can be better prepared to show understanding and provide education for the parents.

Vaccinations prevent illness and suffering from a variety of disease. They have been used successfully for decades to help billions of people all over the world. In short, vaccines save lives. This is because with proper implementation, vaccinations have the potential to even eradicate certain diseases. For example, in 18th century England, smallpox was responsible for 20% of ALL of the deaths in London. Today, thanks to the scientific progress that gave us vaccines, there hasn’t been a single reported case of smallpox since 1949. The last case of smallpox in the world was reported to have occurred in Ethiopia in 1979 and in 1980 scientists declared that smallpox had been successful eradicated from the world.

From a healthcare perspective, the benefits of having your child vaccinated cannot be overlooked. Parents who choose to skip vaccines leave their child vulnerable to various life-threatening diseases. If you have concerns, about the safety of a vaccine, disccuss this with your doctor rather than taking chances with your child’s health.

  6. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
