Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I am fairly new to the group and joined to find more info on alternatives to traditional medicine for my family. My question is about my niece. She is three or four months old. When she was about 2 1/2 months, she was given her " regular " (for that age) shots. A week later, she developed what appeared to be a viral illness (normal cold symptoms, I guess). They took her in and were told to watch her and treat the symptoms as they could do nothing for the virus. She progressively worsened and they had the feeling to take her in. She was immediately put into ped ICU with a heart rate of 220 and on the verge of a heart attack. What I understand is that the virus weakened her heart, doing irreparable damage. She was in ICU for three+ weeks and then in a regular room for another week. She is being sent home and if they can keep her healthy for a year? they will consider her for the transplant list. This is so especially heartbreaking as this is their first girl and what appeared to be a normal, healthy child. Someone off list recommended something called CoQ10. Any experience with this? Any other ideas? Thanks! Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Alison, I would call Doc immediately on this. I know he can help you. And without going into a very tempting rant, it was the vaccine that did this to her.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 oh boy Alison. So sorry to hear of this. I believe Janet already suggested to you to call Doc for help. It sounds too much of a "coincidence" not to be caused by the shots. all the best love, Lisa - Alison Maynes herbal remedies Tuesday, December 03, 2002 3:58 PM [herbal remedies] Heart-repair question I am fairly new to the group and joined to find more info on alternatives totraditional medicine for my family.My question is about my niece.She is three or four months old.
