Measles mumps and whooping cough are not really deadly diseases, but, they cause much discomfort and away from school time, so let's have it! Measles is similar to chicken pox, yes? this is a hormonal disease, as, it is similar to acne. the right way to deal with measles is through combating the symptoms, as then you can be sick and not care, while your body fights the rest of th disease at it's own pace, of course. measles is formed like cancer too, not in that it is dead cells diseasing working cells, but rather that it forms tumors in the skin - the little bumps? - and then these are the disease trying to escape the body - the body pushing it out where it collects. the fact that it collects means it is only really a uncomfortable problem when it is syncing physically with other cells like it, and, this means breaking them down will help. maybe the combination of apple acids, in a tablet, along with something that is sticky like glucose will make the acids come down hard on the actual problem areas, and, dissolve the rest of the cells in the body, with the native cells reproducing as they will. Then, onto whooping cough. this is a dryness and phlegm induced sickness like the flu, of course. this is where the irritation of your throat coughs up the various things that are normally there, yes? this means the shortness of breath, as these nerves try to release the stress on them means they will lead to excessive coughing. the obvious remedy for this is muscle laxitive, as, the nerves are not as stressed as one may think.
Granny says, "Dat's right - get yer kids vaccinated so dey don't get the mumps... Mumps Cases and Outbreaks Mumps is no longer very common in the United States.

Or you can prevent these illnesses by vaccinating children and later adults with boosters against them, I can see value and maybe spreading out when you give them but it should be ILLEGAL for parents to not vaccinate their children as per the appropriate vaccinations the medical community says are important. Herd immunity matters if people aren't vaccinated the people who are due to medical conditions unable to benefit can be safer from these diseases. And we need a global R&D effort to locate and improve these when new strains of the given illness shows up to find, catalogue, get the DNA mapping of and then a new vaccine mix for the new threats.
