ASK DR FRANZ

Q: I wonder about Chickenpox. My unvaccinated girls are almost 8 & 6 years old and they have not gotten Chickenpox yet. What age is the most common age to get Chickenpox? It’s not worse for them to get it when they get older? Thank you.

Ans. In the past before the vaccine the most common age was under 5. I am not overly concerned about the fact they have not had the illness. It is in the literature that it is worse when you are older.

HOWEVER, with our treatments with herbaceuticals and homeopathy we can minimize the effects of the illness- reduce itching and speed crusting over of the lesions. The vaccine is not the end all answer and has its own issues. Plus immunity only lasts 3-5 years  after a vaccine so then people are left susceptible again. And boosters are not the answer.

Great question. Thanks fro asking.

We love helping improve the health of your family.
