Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, is asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for an agency-wide 맥스카지노�scientific process맥스카지노� on treating measles and other conditions with medications as well as alternative therapies such as vitamins, HHS said in a statement.Video above: Study suggests misinformation about measles vaccine spreading fastThe HHS statement notes that 맥스카지노�the CDC continues to recommend measles vaccination as the most effective way to prevent the disease,맥스카지노� and Kennedy himself has publicly encouraged measles vaccination 맥스카지노� while saying it맥스카지노�s a 맥스카지노�personal맥스카지노� choice.However, 맥스카지노�we recognize that some individuals and communities across the U.S. may choose not to vaccinate,맥스카지노� the HHS statement says. 맥스카지노�Our commitment is to support all families 맥스카지노� regardless of their vaccination status 맥스카지노� in reducing the risk of hospitalization, serious complications, and death from measles.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�Secretary Kennedy will be enlisting the entire agency to activate a scientific process to treat a host of diseases, including measles, with single or multiple existing drugs in combination with vitamins and other modalities,맥스카지노� the statement says. 맥스카지노�This effort will involve collaboration with universities nationwide to develop protocols, conduct testing, and pursue approval for new uses of safe and effective therapeutics that meet the highest scientific standards.맥스카지노�As a measles outbreak centered in West Texas continues to grow, reaching nearly 800 cases as of this week, disease experts fear that Kennedy맥스카지노�s continuing emphasis on unconventional therapies such as cod liver oil, the antibiotic clarithromycin and the steroid budesonide might take away from efforts to boost vaccination.맥스카지노�We맥스카지노�ve got doctors now in these communities that are teaching other doctors how to treat this disease with aerosolized steroids, with budesonide, with clarithromycin and others,맥스카지노� Kennedy said Monday at a town hall event hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw.The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles after the recommended two doses, but there is no specific treatment for measles once someone is infected.In severe cases, doctors may offer treatments such as supplemental oxygen and fluids to help patients get through the worst of their illness. The CDC also recommends two doses of physician-administered vitamin A in cases of severe measles, such as people who are hospitalized. Infectious disease experts note that the vitamin is most useful in impoverished countries where children are significantly malnourished.In a measles treatment overview posted Thursday, the CDC says that 맥스카지노�vitamin A may be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider맥스카지노� and that 맥스카지노�other therapies, such as antibiotics should be prescribed based on clinical judgment by an individual healthcare provider.맥스카지노�The overview also notes that although there맥스카지노�s no evidence to support routine use of antibiotics in someone with measles, they may be necessary if the person develops a secondary bacterial infection. Likewise, it says that patients with a history of certain airway conditions may be given inhaled steroids.A poll released last week showed that a growing share of adults in the U.S. have heard false claims about measles and the vaccine, including that vitamin A can prevent infections.맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s really important not to conflate what 맥스카지노� supportive or adjunctive care for measles versus curative treatment for measles,맥스카지노� Dr. Christina Johns, a pediatric emergency physician at PM Pediatrics in Annapolis, Maryland, told CNN in March.In a fact-check on its website, the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasizes that 맥스카지노�Recent claims that budesonide and clarithromycin cure measles are reckless and put children at serious risk. There is no cure for measles. Immunization is the only way to prevent the spread of measles.맥스카지노�
