CHICKEN POX. A new threat to our health?

The UK's NHS has triggered a major campaign to save us from a dreadful disease - Chicken Pox. Dutifully, the mainstream media has fallen in line, urging us to get our children vaccinated.

You may have thought, hitherto, that Chicken Pox is a mild disease. Indeed, the NHS has confirmed this (until yesterday, perhaps, when the campaign stated). This from the NHS website.

“Chickenpox is a common infection that spreads easily and mostly affects children. It usually gets better on its own after 1 to 2 weeks without needing to see a GP, but can be serious in some people”.

Conventional medicine has always told us this. There was no Chicken Pox vaccine available until 1984, and then only a limited number of countries made it available. In Britain it has never before been part of the ‘vaccine schedule’. And even the WHO, who nearly always push vaccination, supports the vaccine only if 80% of the population receive it. This has made the vaccine difficult to “sell”. One UK study estimated that “over the study period, 2016 to 2022, the mean weekly chickenpox consultation rate per 100,000 population in England was 3.4”.

Nothing to get too upset about then? Chicken pox should not be a medical priority, especially with ongoing epidemics of Allergy, Arthritis, Autism, Autoimmune disease, Cancer, Dementia, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and many many more, to deal with! But the mainstream media clearly does not agree, encouraged as they seem to be by the Government, and the NHS. Every national newspaper, every radio and television channel, are currently transfixed by the sudden threat of Chicken Pox, and the need for all our children to be vaccinated against it.

And why is the NHS making this generous campaign to pay for the vaccination of millions of children? Why, is a financially-almost-bankrupt organisation encouraging yet more spending on an illness it considers to be so mild as Chicken Pox?

The Vaccine

More seriously, the medical campaign for chicken pox vaccination has mentioned nothing about the adverse vaccine reactions that are well known, and easily accessible. Nor has any media organisation carrying the story bothered to ask health spokespeople and politicians about them, blandly accepting the oft-used idea that “the benefits outweigh the cost”. So what are the known “costs” of taking the vaccine?

The Drugs.com website outlines a very long list. I will not reproduce them in full here, except to say it includes: serious allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, confusion, seizures, loss of bladder control, pain, swollen joints, and much, much, more more. There are also many ‘precautions’ that needs be taken both before and after taking the vaccine.

So it is important for you to read this list of ‘side effects’. Only if you do so you will realise just what conventional medicine is prepared to offer you without offering a full explanation of the possible consequences. What they describe are not ‘side effects’. They include uncomfortable, unwanted, and distressing medical conditions, right up to serious life-threatening illnesses and diseases.

And all to prevent a mild childhood disease!

You may have thought hitherto that Chicken Pox is a mild disease. Indeed, the NHS has confirmed this, until yesterday when the campaign stated.

“Chickenpox is a common infection that spreads easily and mostly affects children. It usually gets better on its own after 1 to 2 weeks without needing to see a GP, but can be serious in some people”.

Yes, I have repeated this from the top of the article. But it needs repeating. I have watched journalists today talking about “vaccine hesitancy”, disinformation campaigns, and one government minister bemoaning people (like me) who are “peddling conspiracy theories”.

This is NOT a conspiracy theory.

• Chicken pox IS a mild infectious disease. This is stated in most conventional medical texts, including the NHS website.

• The adverse vaccine reactions mentioned ARE part of conventional medical literature, never mentioned perhaps, but a matter of record.

• The Government, the NHS, and the Media are urging people to get vaccinated, and they not informing us, openly and honestly, about the possible consequences.

• This is not how people can possibly make an “informed decision” about their health care

I, along with many other people who are seeking to draw attention to the dangerous nature of pharmaceutical medicine, are not need to make anything up. The information is there for anyone to see. It’s just that we are not being told about it.

And are there safer alternatives to pharmaceutical vaccines for the treatment of chicken pox? All parents should click on this link to find out.

Postscript 1st September 2025

Yesterday the British media reinforce these early warnings about chicken pox! The announced the death of ONE child who had chicken pox. ONE - a tragedy, of course - but no information about any other conditions that might have contributed to the child’s death. And it appears that the child died in 2009!

Why does the mainstream media think that ONE death to chicken pox (even if there were no comorbidities) is significant, when the NHS faces epidemic levels of autism, ADSD, asthma, childhood cancer, diabetes, eczema, obesity, and so much more? And why it justifies the vaccination of many thousands of children?

If this an admission, by conventional medicine, that it is unable successfully to treat a mild condition like chicken pox?

I believe that the answer might be vaccine promotion!

Tonmya: a new drug for fibromyalgia?

Medscape has reported that the USA’s drug regulator, the FDA, has approved a new, first-in-class drug for Fibromyalgia.

    “The FDA has approved cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride sublingual tablets (Tonmya, Tonix Pharmaceuticals), a first-in-class, nonopioid treatment for adults with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain syndrome that affects more than 10 million Americans, roughly 80% of whom are women”.

The article goes on to describe the testing of the drug, published in Pain Medicine on 8th July 2025, which indicates a 30% improvement in pain (which, of course, means that 70% of the pain remains). And the drug was “generally well-tolerated with no serious side effects”. Good new indeed, if it were only true!

So what does the Drugs.com website say about Tonmya? It can be found here, and I summarise it below - without comment, other than to provide a link to the safe and effective treatment of fibromyalgia with homeopathy.

“Common Tonmya side effects

The most common Tonmya side effects are oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, numbness in the mouth (oral hypoesthesia), oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, drowsiness, canker sores, mouth tingling, pricking, or burning.

“Serious side effects

Tonmya may have serious side effects, including:

“Serious allergic reaction: Tell your health care provider right away if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, hives, swelling of the face or tongue, or itching.

“Embryofetal Toxicity. If Tonmya is used two weeks before conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy, it may cause neural tube defects, based on animal data….

“Serotonin Syndrome: Potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome has been reported with cyclobenzaprine when used in combination with other drugs….

“Tricyclic Antidepressant-like Adverse Reactions: Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCAs) have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke…..
TCAs lower the seizure threshold and are associated with serious CNS reactions. If clinically significant CNS symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of Tonmya.

“Atropine-like Adverse Reactions: This medicine should be used with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic medications.

“CNS Depression and Risk of Operating a Motor Vehicle or Hazardous Machinery: Patients using this medicine should not operate a motor vehicle or other dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that Tonmya will not affect their ability to engage in such activities.

“Oral Mucosal Adverse Reactions: This medicine may cause severe oral side effects…..

“This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

So please decide for yourself. Is this new drug really ““generally well-tolerated with no serious side effects”?

Medical Fig-Leaves. The pharmaceutical response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the latter part of 2019 we were all being warned about the possibility of a new epidemic, then only affecting Wuhan in China. Since then the Covid-19 virus has been declared a pandemic that has, to some degree, affected every country in the world.

In early 2020, pharmaceutical medicine admitted that it had no preventative treatment, or treatment for Covid-19, and set about to develop vaccines. This is not unusual. Conventional medicine often admits that it has no treatment for disease - but goes ahead treating it with what they have got, however ineffectual it might be.

With Covid-19 several 'public health measures' were put into place throughout 2020, and governments around the world took authoritarian powers to enforce them on the general public. These included several measure which, in essence, sought to identify or chase the virus, which is, of course, invisible!

• Washing hands (in case the virus was on our hands)
  
• Social distancing (in case the virus was transmitted from person to person)
  
• Test and Trace (to identify people who had come into contact with someone with the virus)
  
• Mask mandates (to prevent the virus being transmitted through the air)
• School closures (to prevent transmission by children)
  
• Lockdown (to prevent people meeting each other)
  

What is now becoming increasingly apparent is that all these strategies were little more than fig leaves, to hide the undoubted fact that pharmaceutical medicine had no effective treatment, nor any way to prevent the transmission of the virus. It was, perhaps, better to do something rather than nothing at all!

Yet there are now over 400 studies that have found that these strategies have not only been a failure, but have done positive harm. Click on the link to open a Brownstone Institute webpage that outlines the findings of each of these studies. It shows that they are not only ineffective, but harmful to our health through their emotional, social and economic consequences.

These public health strategies were initially put in place until such time that Covid-19 vaccines were ready to be used. The vaccines would save us, protect us from the virus, and return life to normal. Mass vaccination programme began in December 2020, initially with each individual being vaccinated twice; now three times; with the third, fourth, and probably annual vaccinations to follow.

One year later it is clear that the vaccines have failed to achieve what the pharmaceutical industry told us they would do.

So now the same fig leaves have either returned, never gone away, or we are being warned that they are making a return. The vaccines have failed, so now pharmaceutical medicine wants to start chasing the invisible virus again, returning to the same strategies that did not work previously, and which these 400 studies indicate will not work in future.

This is pharmaceutical medicine's most widely adopted strategy - "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again". So if a drug doesn't work, take it again, or take it more often, take a stronger one; ultimately, take it for the rest of your life! Ineffective or dangerous drugs once removed from the market, only to be reinvented years later. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one such drug. 

Menopause Issues and NICE guidelines? HRT might cause cancer, heart problems and dementia, but what the hell, women should take it anyway!

It doesn't matter how dangerous the drug is! Did you know that even Thalidomide had been resurrected from the dead?

Thalidomide. Still alive, kicking, and harming patients around the world to this day!

And so, in line with conventional medicine's grandiose history, we are now about to welcome back hand washing, social distancing, mask mandates, school closures, and lockdown. And this will all be done in the name of 'medical science', even when science has informed us that these strategies are ineffective, and positively harmful.

The Conventional Medicine drug cabinet is bare. In truth it has always been bare. It contains us no effective treatment, just an assortment of fig leaves used to cover the embarrassment of having to tell us they have nothing to offer.

Homeopathy and the history of treating of infectious epidemics. Why homeopathy will always outperform pharmaceutical medicine.

Mankind has always suffered from epidemics of infectious disease. Each infection has killed countless people, some killing large sections of the populations. They have always caused panic. Until the 19th century there was no treatment for them. So when people contracted the illness they either died, or they recovered - with friends and family watching on, scared and helpless.

Conventional or pharmaceutical medicine still has never had treatment for these epidemics. Medical science has been able to explain their cause for the last 100-150 years; but the coronavirus COVID-19 has demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that it still has no treatment to offer. Those who have contracted the virus have either died or recovered - with friends and family watching on, scared and helpless. The conventional medical establishment has always admitted that this is so.

Washing hand, social distancing, social and economic lockdown - these are not treatments: they are responses seeking to reduce the transmission of the infection - nothing more than this.

I have just listened to a BBC programme that discussed two flu epidemics in Tudor England. The first was in 1551, known as "The Sweat", thought to be a virulent form of influenza where people were well in the morning, and dead by the evening. It caused a huge death toll, and caused great terror. There was no explanation for it. This was time of protestant reformation when the government was involved in asset stripping the Church; so the reason for the epidemic was explained in moral terms, it was a religious judgement on the political changes of the time - one way or the other.

In 1558 there was another flu epidemic which reputedly killed at least 1/5th of the population. Edward VI and Mary were now dead; Elizabeth was Queen; and it was mainly the old Catholic ruling classes, the nobility, bishops, priests, and justices, who suffered badly. The epidemic was described as "a huge gift to protestantism". But again, other than this, there was no explanation of the cause; and there was, of course, no treatment.

 

The conventional medical establishment continued in this vein for the next 300 years. By the mid 19th century some explanation of causation was forthcoming: but a further 160 years went by without effective treatment. Even the horrors of 'Spanish Flu' in 1918 did not lead to finding conventional medical treatment. This was a vicious form of influenza that affected over 500 million people around the world, and killed over 100 million of them - mainly in the age group 20 to 40 years old. Again, conventional medicine was helpless; doctors had no treatment: nurses helped care for the victims as they died. So it was said, correctly, that nurses were more helpful to patients than doctors; and this has proven to be the case more recently with coronavirus CPVID-19.

Indeed, so great was the catastrophe of 1918, following on as it did from the World War, governments around the world began to introduce health ministries; the political pressure for better treatment began. The pharmaceutical industry, encouraged by government money, tried hard to discover effective treatment. When another serious epidemic arose there was a determination that this would not happen again. A vaccine was introduced in 1930's; but there has been little else; and when COVID-19 came, there was no treatment available - not even a vaccine.

Conventional medicine must be the only industry, and only business, that can survive for over 500 years without a viable product to offer us when we need it.

In contrast, homeopathy was only mooted in 1793. It developed quickly during the 19th century, and during this time, it consistently outperformed conventional medicine in the event of regular infectious epidemics around the world. Julian Winston researched this, and some of his finding have been written here. He made use of Thomas Lindsley Bradford, MD, book called "The Logic of Figures" in which he collected statistics that compared outcome of conventional medicine and homeopathy in the treatment of 19th century epidemics.

               "From its earliest days, homeopathy has been able to treat epidemic diseases with a substantial rate of success, when compared to conventional treatments. It was these successes that placed the practice of homeopathy so firmly in the consciousness of people world-wide."

I have outlined some of these epidemics, and the statistics about treatment, in a previous blog, Infectious Disease and Medical Treatment. A brief history arising from Coronavirus COVID-19. 19th century evidence clearly and regularly indicated that homeopathy outperformed conventional medicine; not difficult, perhaps, when we realise that, then as now, it had no treatment available to treat any of them. Conventional medicine did not like this, and soon they made their first attempt to hide their own incompetence from the public view. 

 

Cholera 1954. An epidemic of cholera in London was notable in that this was the first time the medical community was able to trace the outbreak to a source (a public water pump), and when the pump was closed, the epidemic ceased. However, it was significant for another reason. It was the first time conventional medicine sought to repress the success of homeopathy. 

                "The House of Commons asked for a report about the various methods of treating the epidemic. When the report was issued, the homeopathic figures were not included. The House of Lords asked for an explanation, and it was admitted that if the homeopathic figures were to be included in the report, it would "skew the results." 

 

Indeed they certainly did 'skew' the results!

 

                        "The suppressed report revealed that under allopathic care the mortality was 59.2% while under homeopathic care the mortality was only 9%."

 

It should be noted that, like conventional medicine, homeopathy knew nothing about the 'public water pump', but it was still able to treat the disease successfully. And homeopathy continued to develop an outstanding record of success from that time onwards, and in particular, for the deadly 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Conventional doctors lost 28% of their influenza patients to death, whilst homeopathic doctors lost only 2%.

 

One reason for this ongoing ability to treat new epidemics, and new germs, is that whilst pharmaceutical medicine needs to know about 'the virus', 'the bacteria', 'the micro-organism', and how it operates, homeopathy doesn't. And as each new epidemic is usually based on new germs, conventional medicine has always found that it is unable to provide treatment. This has been the case with COVID-19; and the same will apply with any new infectious epidemic, however far into the future it might appear.

By contrast, homeopathy treats illness according to the principle of 'like curing like', so all the homeopath has to know, when faced with any 'new' epidemic, is the patient's symptoms so that a matching remedy can be identified. This is what homeopaths do all the time, and have been doing during the COVID panic, with great success, throughout the world, and particularly in Cuba and parts of India, where governments are favourably disposed to non-conventional treatments.

 

By contrast, conventional science once again had to panic. It has no treatment. So it is busy chasing a virus it cannot see, through non-treatments like hand washing, social distancing, and social and economic lockdown. The nonsense, and the cruelty of these 'non-treatments' are now leading to many people asking important questions.

• why is there no treatment?
• why can't people see their parent is residential care?
• why are people dying in hospital with relatives unable to see them?
• why can't I attend the wedding of good friends and relatives?
• why, if children go to school, do pubs have to shut down?
• why are masks necessary now when they were not a few months ago?
  

Non-sense inputs produce non-sense outputs. As long as out trust is place in this failed system of medicine it will continue to be so. It is time we learnt from history.
