My grandmother almost died of Scarlett fever when she was 4 years old. She was bed ridden for 4 months and had to basically learn how to walk again. She swears that after that it gave her a super strong immune system. She’s never been sick a day in her life and is the strongest women I know. She will be 93 soon.
@@shawnwilton7997 As more people drank the tea so the immune system gets weaker and latent viruses and diseases are able to come to the surface or invade from the outside a weakened immune system.
That is really interesting. I had the same thing at age 6. I have never forgotten it. I also have a very strong immune system and have often wondered if that is why. I am 65 , and have been around people with Covid and various other colds and flu but I never catch them. Would be an interesting study to do. Thankyou for your comment, it has reinforced what I have often wondered about. May your Grandmother stay strong and healthy 😃
Unfortunately we just had a 9 year old die in Kelowna BC Canada because doctors failed to give antibiotics when signs were so clear that the child had strep and was in distress. We need to be our own medical advocates, thank you for the information that you share!❤
Yes it is frightening what is happening in canada. Medical facilities overrun with sick children between RSV and now strep showing up. Apparently there is a shortage of medications in Canada
@@debbiedebruyne1639 There is and it began 9 months ago in the Spring of 2022. Those responsible for procuring medicine for Canadians knew this and did nothing in particular about it. And now winter has come, which is always a bad time for illness anyway, but now without enough medicine... It's almost as if someone wanted another medical crisis and more misery put upon the people. How else can one explain such deadly and gross incompetence?
My son nearly died from strep in his blood in 2021. It took 12 days and multiple trips to hospitals/doctors to get a diagnosis. It was like we were living in a movie and everyone was reading from the same script. "It's COVID, come back when you can't breathe". By the time I finally got him diagnosed it was attacking his heart. He was rushed via ambulance from the final urgent Care to the hospital only for the hospital to try and give him another COVID test. I thank God everyday that I did not accept the narrative and kept fighting because I do not believe my son would be here today.
We are in the middle of the nastiest illness I've ever seen in my daughter. We've been to an urgent clinic and the ER. We are seeing her pediatrician in a couple of hours. She's been tested for strep, mono, covid and the flu with all negatives. Were you getting positive covid tests? I've never had a child this sick without it being bacterial. I'm terrified they are missing a diagnosis. Thank you for sharing your experience.
@@jess758 the strep tests actually came up negative for us and we were told that they are only 50% accurate. I insisted that they take blood and that's when they found he was septic. He was having chest pains for a full week before he was diagnosed. It was the scariest time of my life... And his. COVID tests were all negative but they said that they were false negatives. They also said that the strep test was not a false negative... Go figure
My now 31 year old son developed rheumatic fever after strep throat infection when he was 9. I had the fight of my life trying to get it diagnosed and was dismissed as a neurotic mother at one point. Never give up on that motherly instinct!!
It happened to me when my daughter was 10 maths old. I knew she had something, I feared meningitis and it was the deadly one. I caught it in a few hours. This one doc asked where I got my MD. Her doc ordered a spinal at the hospital and it came back positive in less than an hour. This was close to 40 years ago. She lived and she had a bit of a personality change when she got older. I'm so glad her doc was on top of it.
Thank you John. The trust in public health is at an all time low. We need reliable health information to make informed decisions about treatment. Excellent information.
@@tluk1900 Yes, because this is a postvaccine effect, because the immune systems are harmed and falling apart since the injected poisons. But, wait, because we haven't sen anything yet so far, because the worst is yet 2 come. Pwy.
So NOW everything has turned around and currently the truth is STARTING to come out. And now they are going to want us to NOT act like the NAZI jerks they where. This Nazi, and the MINIONS that cheered for them are NOT OF GODS MIND. Call yourselves Christian all you want. But was your heart in it to resist and be brave, or did the fear take you? We forgive you, not just because we have no choice. But because that is how we are, the mind of Christ makes us like that. But you still need to be talking to God about it, in Jesus name because as the father in charge of punishment he is the one determining REPENTANCE!! Every knows that in Revelations Chapter 6 the WHITE/RED/BLACK/PALE horses will ride. Causing people to take a scorpions tail (needle) (white horse). WARs, and rumors of war (Red horse), Prices of food and Energy and medicine and entertainment to rise(black horse). And death following(pale horse). And they knew that SOMEONE will come on the scene and SAVE THE WORLD from these things. THIS SOMEONE (PERSON) is the FALSE PROPHET that will cause you to put your trust in the ANTI-Christ. So just keep looking for that person(while refusing Jabs). You will know they are the FALSE PROPHET, because that is what the bible says the false prophet does. And PLEASE help me spread dumbed down message. Even a less complicated thinker will understand this.... SIDE NOTE: 1st Corinthians 6:19 "19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 1st Corinthians 3;16 you yourselves are Gods temple! and that gods spirit dwells in your midst. You missed the first sign the mark of the beast. Don't fall for the other signs! Please! You can live in paradise. Before the Fall Satan made sure there was PRIDE. This is why I said they are having DOCTORs and NURSES dance on TV and the social websites and getting PROMOTED to do so in early 2020 PRIDE. PRIDE!!! Satan does not JUST need them to be on his side He wants PRIDE to keep them from REPENTING! . This is the way of NOT REPENTING AND BE LIABLE TO HELL. They can't admit they was wrong, and turn around! Why PRIDE. With all this evidence PRIDE! Sadly it is working on some 😔 Interesting I misspelled Medicine, it came out MEDICIDE! so naturally I looked it up! WOW. It's a word alright. Now the question is, is MEDICIDE closer to suicide or genocide(they wanted all doctors, nurses and blacks to take it first), or omnicide?! One of the big reasons people will stop going to churches and protesting?? I'm going to tell you a conspiracy (since I am batting a 100%). The VACCINE, downgrades the vmat2 gene. Which gives you the RELIGIOUS zeal (right or wrong), dependence. The ability to stick to emotional indignation (right or wrong). This is way stronger than fluoride. This is also a big reason WHY there will be a great FALLING AWAY! I can not post links here you have to go to youtubes competitors for proof because they instantly block these link.
No really, I am truly thankful for the factual way you discuss these medical issues. You have wisdom, integrity, and intelligence. Thank you for noting your sources and showing where you got the info (for the y and t correct. ness watchers), I want to make sure you keep making these videos for a long time 🙏
Eye opening? He gave you nothing but the official narrative. Why didn’t he bring his viewers the studies showing the connection between children a nasal flu vaccines and increased streptococcus infections?
@@theredboneking I think he makes it pretty clear, when he can’t say something, that you should look to another source for the info he’s trying to point out.
Thank you John, my heart goes out to the parents who have lost their babies to this. I got rhumatic fever in 1973 aged 8, I only just managed to get the school bus home but I didn't make it home, my arms and legs wouldn't work and my dad found me draped over a wall when I didn't arrive home on time, he came looking for me, he carried me home and sent for the doctor who came to our house, he immediately rang for an ambulance and I was hospitalised for 2 week's. Luckily I haven't had any problems with my heart.
Very lucky! My mother has it as a child too and her heart was destroyed by it. She didn’t discover that until she was in her late 40s and his heart surgeries to replace the damaged valves but still died at 54.
Thank you for spearheading this with information and resolutions. You have helped my family and myself more than I can say. I'll bet I speak for millions in that regard. Thank You Dr.
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I become a new mother in about 3 months and I really appreciate having things like this explained in a comprehensible way. You are a blessing Dr. Campbell!
My now 22yr old daughter got Scarlet Fever when she was 6 yrs old here in NSW, Australia...Not one doctor in the hospital diagnosed her correctly until a South African R.N came on shift and alerted them because of the large strawberry shape on her tongue and the raised rash all over her...she was put on a drip and sent home within 10hrs with oral anti biotics..she has had health problems on and off ever since. My now 21yr girl got it 14 days later and had to be hospitalized on a drip for 4 days..she is rarely sick! I'm not sure why she got it 14 days after when the incubation period is 7-10 days.. I was treated like an idiot by the triage nurse back then when I told her exactly what she had because of the time period! The triage tried to get us to sit with everyone else in the packed waiting room at Wyong Emergency..that's when I lost it and swore at them for putting everyone in risk in the room!! When my daughter was rushed by ambulance from Wyong to Gosford hospital..the triage nurse rudely said...Oh..you were right!!! I have only just started trusting one doctor after all these years..thank you Dr.John.. you really are CHANGE!!!
2 of my children had Scarlet Fever 16 years ago (they were 9 & 6 then) and similar to yours, none of the doctors could diagnose it. By God's grace, one senior paediatrician diagnosed it for the older boy. The younger one was put on drips, and both were given erythromycin for 10 days.... very grateful to the Lord for the senior doctor who diagnosed the disease, and the junior doctor who listened and immediately started the antibiotics for the younger boy when I told him about the private doctor's diagnosis for the older boy..... not many doctors who'll listen! May the Lord protect all the children, wherever they may be.
@@saktikrishna4708 today, specially in Germany patients are only stupid, I do not go to dr anymore here. They make also mistakes and hygienia is very bad! They can have plastikgloves and touch everywere and put their hands in your open wound or mounth with this "sterile" gloves.
Fasting can help you recover and can fix your immune system to undo the damage! Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Losing weight through intermittent fasting shows greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting reverses metabolic syndrome, which is tightly correlated to Chronic Fatiguque Syndrome, high blood pressurecancer and many other chronic diseases. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Interesting. My aunty also in NSW is a senior professor / nurse who advised the un on midwifery as well as working at the university. Her granddaughter got it and her daughter in law took her to the hospital and they also misdiagnosed. Luckily my aunty got to see her and went mad at them. They wouldn't listen to her until she identified her self with regards to her medical qualifications and current employment as a professor within the medical industry as one of the most senior nurses in the world. Luckily she was old enough to remember exactly what scarlet fever looked like. But I don't know what would have happened if she was anyone else?!.
Thank you, my granddaughter (age 6) had Strep throat last month. I had Scarlet Fever in 1959, at 3 years. Our house was quarantined by public health, only my mother was allowed to remain in the home to care for me. My father and the other children went to live with my grandmother. All of my garments were put in the incinerator. I don't think there was any antibiotic treatment at the time. I remember wearing nightgowns my grandmother made from dad's army air corp parachute. Silk . . . the only thing that my mother could put on me because of the feverish rash on my little body.
I also had Scarlet fever in 1959. It was New Year's Eve, I was 2 years old and my parents were quarantined. Mom and Dad sitting at each end of the couch drinking champagne, didn't realize I was going back and forth between the two of them sipping champagne, until I stood in the middle of the couch and yelled two free then proceeded to jump in the middle of the coffee table. 😂
I had scarlet fever three years ago. I was told twice by local GPs it was viral. My husband drove me to the ER and they immediately put me on IV antibiotics for a week and then l had oral antis for another 8 weeks. The bacteria had gone into my blood stream and l ended up with strep septicaemia. If l hadn’t ignored the advice of my GP and gone to ER l would have died. Trust your instincts and never be afraid to get a 2nd/3rd opinion.
They're a lot more reluctant to use antibiotics than they were 10-20-30 years ago. This is because using them when not needed helps the bacteria mutate into ones that antibiotics can't help.
Today they are very much all about "we don't like to throw antibiotics at people". (I keep imagining the people standing up against a wall, possibly an indoor hospital wall, with antibiotics being thrown at them. Like paint, sort of. Interesting image.) Point taken, but unfortunately they are soooo reluctant to give antibiotics when *not* needed, that it is often hard to get them when they *are* needed. 🙄 It's getting kind of crazy out there these days. 🙄 Congratulations on being brave enough (or do I mean scared enough?) to seek out another opinion. Good job. Well done. (You and your husband, *not* the GP.)
@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 Also because it might be viral instead of bacterial. Also because apparently the more you use them the more you (and/or the bacteria) can get immune to them (later on, not just during the same illness). It's interesting and it's complicated. And apparently very tricky sometimes. But they still really should be using their *common sense* somewhat more. (*If* they actually *have* any, that is. 😉)
Re: amoxicillin shortage in the US. ASHP is reporting shortages from 5 of our biggest generic drug manufacturers. Mostly, it's certain doses or certain package sizes (ie a bottle with 80mL vs a bottle with 500mL) of the oral suspension. Likely, this is just because of higher than normal demand for empiric antibiotics we're seeing here. Thanks for the quick review of GAS and scarlet fever! It's nice to be able to talk openly and directly about a disease without having to use innuendo or refer to RU-vid censorship guidelines. This talk is what medical updates should sound like rather than what we're obliged to listen to with ... other diseases and alleged treatments or preventative measures. Thanks for the work you do
Penicillin and keflex both work well for strep. Penicillin doesn’t taste good but I usually tell my patients to refrigerate it or mix in some flavoring or mix it in some rich chocolate milk.
There are shortages of all sorts of meds, and it's a supply chain issue. We need to manufacture in our own country, not depend on, or wait for arrival from halfway across the world.
@@lisaelias300 that is true of everything. Medicine, food, goods, everything. The globalists say they care about the environment and at the same time oppose national independence by shipping things all over the world. What they really want is global control and the ability to leave people helpless when they feel like it.
I too had Scarlet Fever at age 4 and was hospitalised (I'm now 72). My mum used to tell me I went kicking and screaming into the ambulance, swearing at the ambulance crew! More recently, at the end of October this year, my niece and her family were visiting from up north (UK). Her 7-yr-old daughter had all the symptoms of Tonsillitis. But, to our great surprise, upon being taken to the nearest 'walk-in' clinic she was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever, given antibiotics and was promptly taken back up north so as to avoid transmission to the other children who were visiting us. Thankfully, she has made a full recovery. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their precious little ones to this infection. Thank you for all you do Dr Campbell. Best wishes to you and yours for a very Happy Christmas and a safe New Year!
I am happy your niece has recovered. I did not know one could die from this so am grateful to Dr. Campbell for this and all his videos. I believe I had it as a child also given the condition my heart was in. I am thinking that penicillin was all they may have had that long ago and I'm allergic to it. I'm afraid to say much because (they?) are capturing everything we put on this platform. God Bless you and your family.
I had Scarlett fever followed by Rheumatic fever when I was about 5 years old. It gave a heart murmur that stayed with me until I was in my twenties. Thank God He was watching out for me and pulled me through.
Dr. John I see more and more other RU-vidrs afraid to speak about anything anything you address using your videos as an example. I’ve been watching you for years now. Thank you for all of your sound advice all of your amazing research and dedication to this. You are truly my hero I send you love, thoughts and prayers always. Eloquently give us the worst news we’ve ever heard with sound research behind it so sound that even RU-vid can’t destroy you. I love you sending my love. You are a hero
Hi John ! My daughter is 20 she has just got over Scarlet fever . Dr was really surprised how she caught it at 20 . She had been around toddlers but not to close . She was given antibiotics and felt better with in a week. Very sad to hear about the loss of children 😢. Thankyou for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Was waiting for you to talk about this thank you. with young kids who been getting sore throat colds and fever back to back. The adults been having cough and chest pain. I've spoken to so many people saying the same thing
You explain everything so well. I've past you along to my daughters and others and I'm so happy to see they are actually following you. You are worth it. 💕 I found you a few months before everything started in 2019.
John Do you think this may be related to the flu mist programme currently for children in the UK? Strep infection is listed as a possible side effect. Source WHO Vagiaccess.
Thanks for covering this, I've been waiting, I will have to watch this tomorrow morning. My 3 children got Strep infection plus my partner has got it more badly than my kids, seen doc they all got antibiotics....I'm the only 1 who not got this as yet touch wood. Looking forward to watching your in put on this. Will msg back once I've watch your in put. Thanks for covering this :)
You are a blessing. Excellent info. I take it we are headed for a bout of it in US. Sick of being sick. 3 kids under 10 and it seems we are constantly sick. Thank you Dr.! More great advice welcome as it is hard to come by.
I had scarlet fever in September 1947, 11 years old. I remember a very painful throat condition. I was hospitalised and my sisters quarantined from work for a week or more. In those days no visiting or phone calls. I was delirious when taken to hospital by ambulance. The hospitals gave us a number each and these were published in the evening gazette each day together with information of one's condition. I was on the "very ill" list for some days as I developed a painful ear infection and was given penicillin injections in my bottom every 3 hours day and night. I was in hospital for 3 weeks followed by 3 weeks convalescence.
Only person il be following for information. You sir have been a vast non biased informative light in a time of great darkness. Thank you over and over again
I work in a hospital microbiology lab (america). I am the person that plates patient samples (onto agar plates), runs rapid test, that kinda thing. I have seen an increase in the number of Strep A Cultures (Blood Agar plates) this week compared to previous. Always interesting to learn more about the microbiology of what I’m doing.
Am sorry to hear this. I'd consider looking at her diet and possible hygiene. It's not normal for a healthy child to have repeated illnesses. Just saying 🙄🤔😉
Shes on Healthy Start drops at the moment (just under 2 years old). I was wondering if there was anything extra I could do though other than diet changes
At 15:49, Dr. Campbell gave one of his voice inflections, meaning he is not really saying what he means. It had to do with pediatricians making decisions. So what options do we use?
I can’t even imagine what the parents and family of those 9 children are going through. Prayers and thoughts with them all. Thank you for bringing attention to the John.
Love this channel - my son has developed a rash and is absolutely fine in himself (good appetite and very chatty as useful) and GP has looked at the photos I emailed him (Bevins NHS vision never included the removal of face to face consultation did it?) & said it’s fine so we aren’t concerned (?). Interesting how this rash & death of 9 children has made the news but the excess deaths of thousands in the uk has not ..
@Dr. John Campbell Viva Frei, here in Canada, would love to have you on his show as a guest. His Rumble live stream just now, had 7000 people watching. Thanks. Love your work. And subscribed to your Rumble, suggestion to the 2.58Million..
I believe Viva relocated to the US. He still has a large, growing online audience. Heading to Rumble to subscribe to Dr. Campbell--can't be too prepared.
First off, I adore you and your channel ❤ I work in a pharmacy and I can tell you that 100% antibiotics are on a shortage. I tried ordering penicillin V solution this week and all suppliers were out of stock. I was able to get some amoxicillin and also non sugar free erythromycin. We can't crush tablets and create our own solutions in house because that changes the licence of the drug. Those days of creating our own products stopped long ago. These are now called 'specials' and we have to order via specific companies. But good news, our doctors are readily prescribing antibiotics instead of delaying treatment. This week alone our antibiotic dispensing has increased threefold.
Shortages could explain why it took 3 weeks for my GP (I begged 3 different GPs to prescribe a 7 day treatment/ course of antibiotics) to prescribe amoxycillin for my 4 year old I asked for in November last year. Two female doctors from Abingdon Surgery OX14 didn't even want to see the child, I was lucky to get an appointment with a male GP who still cared. I asked the receptionist for "someone who cared"! And even he didn't prescribe the antibiotics for 7 days as I insisted on, only for 5 days, which wasn't enough, but nevertheless helped little bit with symptoms of cold dragging for 2 months.
I heard that the shortage is because we get a lot of our drugs made in China, and because of the issues there, it has created this issue. Working as a pharmacist, do you think this might be true?
I had scarletina when i was 18,in the army..After vaccinations funnily enough. Anyway, my throat was razor blades and stinging sore with white crap on the tonsils and a rash all over my chest and arms. Felt like the flu really with an extra sore throat
Thank you as always for your clear information. Taking my 7 year old daughter to urgent care center shortly as she has been on antibiotics for 6 days for tonsillitis and now developed a rash and a strawberry tongue. I trust your advice and appreciate it greatly.
Funny I was a pediatric nurse for 20 years and my own child is totally vax free and I have never seen a vax free child with anything but a cold for a few days. He’s grown up in his fathers pharmacy around sick people his whole life and he is the healthiest person I know.. same for his vax free peers. He’s never even had medicine prescription or otc, nothing
High five. I have 4 unvaccinated children. Hardly ever sick. Never had an ear infection. No allergies no autoimmune super smart super healthy. I do not regret my decision they are aged 3-16
@@chapman9230 "saved them" from polio and gave them autism adhd cancer allergies and a effed up immune system. Sanitation and indoor plumbing contributed to the eradication of all these "diseases" including polio. Please explain to me why a few of my mothers friends now in their 70s contracted polio AFTER they were "immunized" as children I'll wait.
I had a pretty severe case of Strep/Scarlet fever at 9 years old in 1973 over thanksgiving. I remember being really out of it with fever. Never hospitalized but the most worried I’d ever seen my mom.
My 8 y/o daughter has had strep throat THREE times in the last year and has never had it before this! We also found out she is allergic to penecilin (Amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice for group A strep) the first time she was treated, as she developed a horrible full-body rash. I hated putting her on antibiotics that much but I know you can't just ignore strep. This is very concerning.
There's something called an amoxicillin rash that mimics an allergic reaction but isn't. Lots of people who think they're allergic aren't. I'm not saying that's your daughter, but possible.
Didn't the kids recently get a flu mist? Why anyone would trust public health with their children after the horror of the past three years, I will never know.
I had Scarlet Fever in 1966 aged 7 and I remember being packed off to paternal grandmothers home for 3 weeks as both my parents worked. My younger brother then got it so to keep him company I was kept off school for another three weeks. I don't remember there being great concern about my health other than taking medicine and having to spend most of the time in the bedroom with a colouring book. My heart goes out to the families who have lost children x
Thanks John for another video which was quite welcome on a screen in my home today. => Good to hear a voice of reason and decreased alarm. Serious and deadly for very few, no chance of the UK having a real shortage of antibiotics - less than 1,000 cases would not be anticipated to stress the UK’s pharmacies and you related several methods to move past any shortage that might occur. => Thanks again for the voice of reason to a situation which will involve some, be serious to relative few and serious or tragic for perhaps tens of people. => Thamks again John for all you do and who you are.
I had strep throat for any years.. I moved around Canada every few years or months. InCanada health care is provincial so there were no available records. Finally after years of suffering a doctor believed me and I was able to have a tonsillectomy at 32 years old. Never had strep again.
@Pat Jackson . Interesting. Do you think tonsils and strep are linked? I’m 62 and had my tonsils removed at age 4. I’ve never had strep. So glad you’ve been doing better.
I had strep several times in the same year around age 12... The final time I became allergic to the penicillin part way through the course of medicine from having it so many times in a row and got over the strep the rest of the way without any medicine and I've never had strep since... Interestingly I know around 10 kids who in the last 5 to 10 years had their tonsils out because of reoccurring strep cases and they are still getting strep regularly
A huge threat to childrens' health (and adults for many conditions) is the complete lack of availability of appointments at GP surgeries. Worried parents phoning surgeries as soon as the lines open in the morning and having to phone upwards of 200 times on redial before getting through. I've seen several such cases and most of the time, IF they manage to get through on the phone there are no appointments available. WTH has happened with healthcare in this country? As with dentists, many GPs have taken the opportunity to draw on their lucrative NHS pensions and have retired possibly?
I'm in the USA but my understanding is that the doctor's pensions are being taxed so heavily they lose money if they continue working! Plus the post stress of dealing w/covid & reduced staff.
I know several nurse friends that walked away from Big Pharma because they wouldn't take the experimental inoculations. Not sure if that's the main reason, but it's surely part of it. It's so sad for the worried parents :( Although, I see a Holistic GP, and highly suggest others start researching that route. Mine sees children too.
This was exactly mine & my 89 year old Mother’s experience around 3 years ago. So this has been the deplorable situation for over 3 years now. I actually printed the call log from my mobile phone & took it to the reception desk at the Dr’s to demonstrate that I had indeed redialled over 200 times before finally getting through to be told that obviously any appointments were gone / none available / try again tomorrow. Also of course many Dr’s surgeries have a reputation for extremely rude unhelpful receptionists. 😢
My 34 yr old daughter apparently had a strepA/rheumatic infection concurrent with mono that didn't get caught by the doc. She was 14. 20 yrs later she had full- blown congestive heart failure approximately 4 yrs after her third baby. She had to get open heart surgery for a mechanical mitral valve replacement. This is serious folks!
I was hospitalised in an isolation ward when I was about 7 years old. I remember it well. My mother was a nurse there and gave me a toy lion which I couldn't take home, I was more upset about that than being ill
@@blakew.deshaw3274 lol, bit random but I used to go to safari parks with me dad quite a lot, go round again dad, ground again dad (I used to do this at roundabouts too 🤣) he had to trick me every time and tell me the lions wanted to go to bed.... 😆
Thank you for this video. It seems now we are going back to the 1940s here in the UK. Cant get to see a gp (unless perhaps you pay for it) . Old diseases are re appearing. TB, scarlet fever, STDs Antibiotics appear to be banned. Hospitals are overwhelmed and understaffed. What on earth is going on ?
Its as if somebody somewhere wants us to relive some of the ways civilians were treated in the 1940s 🤔🤔 I'm baffled by who it might be though ... being so close to Christmas it could be Santa Klaus WHO's responsible 🧐
So perfectly treatable with antibiotics so no reason for 15 children to die, especially when the parents take them straight to hospital to be assessed. So why didnt the hospital get them straight on them? Not good enough 🙁
I had a mild case scarletina as a child in the early 1960's during an outbreak in Philadelphia area... Fortunately for me I was on a sulfa drug at the time for something else as there were many deaths in that outbreak. Mind you my mom only remembered that I had a rash while on the sulfa drug when I asked her about medicine allergies in my 20's, in the last 4 years, before her death last year, she remembered that the rash was from the scarlet fever and not the sulfa drug that slowed the disease progression. My hands peeled as a result of the fever.
Thank you so much for posting your story. I had a similar experience as a child. High fever, rash, and the odd ( skin peeling on my hands). We had a family Dr in those days who did house calls. However we did visit his office, and he diagnosed scarlet fever. My Mothers face turned very white, but I survived.
As a child I got strep 2 or 3 times a year. My dad was a microbiologist so he was able to take my culture at home and get antibiotics from the hospital he was at. When I got it as an adult, I had 2 boys. When the nurse asked if I wanted liquid or the shot, I asked her what the difference was... she told me she has had people tell her that when they took the shot they never got it again. I took the shot, and I have never had it again. My boys never got it again either. This was in 1995.
My great-grandfather lost four of his brothers and sisters to scarlet fever in a Scotland workhouse between 1860 and 1870. Sarah 9mo, Brighid 11mo, John 2yrs, Michael 4yrs.
My daughter had the rash & was eventually diagnosed with blood poisoning & put in antibiotics about 15 years ago when she was 5. Thankfully she made a full recovery. As a teacher I'm being asked about this by many a worried parent - thank you so much for giving such an informative video I can now share with them!
We had all these 6 months ago in Australia, the strep throat was insane, but it went away without treatment. All the kids at our kindergarten copped it too, but no major issues. Everyone's a lot stronger now and no more illness really. ( NO DOCTOR APPOINTMENT WA AVAILABLE FOR 3 WEEKS DUE TO MASSIVE BACK LOGS EVERYWHERE, BY THE TIME I GOT THERE HE SAID IT WAS OVER). The winter backlog was intense.
Were they vaccinated against the covid? If not, that's most likely why they gots it. You need to talk the parents into getting their kids vaccinated with a Pfizer or Moderna jab then make sure they catch up on all the necessary boosters.
Lancefield group A beta haemolytic Streptococcus.(Glomerulus not glomelulus😀)This resurgence is probably due to GPs not prescribing Penicillin V for upper respiratory infections. Another unintentional consequence of not thought through dictums from on high. Great video as usual.
When I was a child in the 1980s, going to the doctor for a sore throat or fever meant a prescription for Amoxicillin or Penicillin V. No questions asked. No waiting until it turned into a more serious infection.
Amoxicillin is a bit Ill advised for sore throats because it can cause allergic rashes more commonly than in other situations and can unnecessarily stop it being prescribed subsequently for other indications. Not a major problem though. Also these days antibiotics do not get prescribed even when the infection is lower respiratory or the cough has persisted for a long time. Pertussis is another infection that is susceptible to antibiotics when treated early.
My Uncle got Scarlett’s fever in about 1940’s which caused him mitral valve problems then which lead to open heart surgery. (1980’s). This might have lead to his demise after it was believed he had a contaminated blood transfusion. All my life as a nurse and as a public health nurse I have been on the look out for Scarlett’s fever and strep throat. My mom always pounded in to her kids if someone has a strep on the throat to get antibiotics.
I had Scarlett fever in 1973 at 9 years old and 3 years later a heart murmur was discovered. Wasn’t there at birth but it’s been suggested it was from that event. I was sick for a bit and developed a rash before antibiotics were started.
Speaking of blood transfusions, are we all screwed now with so many covid vaccinated people donating blood? Maybe we should ask a mortician that question.
Bless You Dr. C 🙏🏻 Thank you for all of this vitality important information to help everyone be aware of things to watch for in the coming months & to know when to get help for our loved ones. I so love learning truth from you. I'm happy to hear you that the "shortage" of antibiotics is rubbish! ❤️ Merry CHRISTmas!✝️
Kansan here. Wife tested positive for Strep A last week. Woke up feeling like she couldn't swallow, at least not without severe pain. Luckily, she went straight to Urgent Care and was Dx'd and put on antibiotics. Our 8-yr old son came home from school that same day after vomiting; took him into walk-in clinic and he tested positive as well. Happy to report that they are both feeling much better this week. Can't remember the last time anyone around me had Strep! Our household has been cycling through one illness after another for over a month now. All of us are on antibiotics currently, hoping to be over this nonsense soon. Appreciate your content and knowledge!
@@lightninggornall I'm not vaccinated nor any of my children and we too have have been ill. Me with a kidney infection and youngest with a nasty cold. Does feel like one after another at the moment.
Our daughter ended up with Scarlett Fever at age 6 in 1999, high fever, rash all over body including palms and soles, red tongue. The doctor had no clue and refused antibiotics until testing returned positive 24hrs later, then called me and demanded I immediately go and get the antibiotic. By this point she was in so much pain you couldn't touch her and her temp was over 104. I had to wait hours before her father returned from work. To this day she experiences many health issue, low digestive enzymes, what is called idiopathic tachycardia which she had no history of before the illnes. She was healthy and all the unhealthy seemed to start after this, not a nice bacterium. Thank you for letting many know about this
Common sense advise: Wear a mask and wash hands often. "Group A strep bacteria often live in the nose and throat. People who are infected spread the bacteria by talking, coughing, or sneezing, which creates respiratory droplets that contain the bacteria. people can get sick if they: Breathe in respiratory droplets that contain the bacteria Touch something with those droplets on it and then touch their mouth or nose Drink from the same glass or eat from the same plate as a person infected with group A strep
