MEASLES

    Rubeola, also known as red measles, is a highly contagious viral infection characterized by fever, bronchial cough, sneezing, and irritated eyes that are sensitive to light. A brownish-red rash starts around the ears, on the face and neck, and then spreads over the trunk and occasionally over the limbs. The primary symptoms usually last 4 to 7 days before the rash appears, and from 2 to 5 days after the rash disapppears. In most cases, a person only has the measles once. Some people who are weakened by the measles suffer complications such as lung or middle ear infections. See the sections on Rubella, Ear Infections and Disinfectants.
    * In well-nourished children and adults, measles usually pass without complications. In malnourished or unhealthy individuals, great care must be taken to prevent a weakened immune system. Preventing ear infections (see Ear Infections), bacterial infections (see Disinfectants), and pneumonia is a primary goal. To prevent respiratory complications, use a warm steam vaporizer in the person's room with 10 drops of T36-C5 and 2 capfuls of Sol-U-Mel. Drink Melaleuca Herbal Tea 3 to 6 times each day.
