That's what I was taught, that it's when the defenses are weakened (due
to age and/or other "stress" related factors) that the virus can become
active again.

so a new contact with virus stimulates the latent virus
buried in the nerve tissue instigated by a weakened immune system.

Hi all,
sorry i've been occupied for a few days.... i'll put my oar in....
this proposition is similar to one i've heard re: aids. That is, the presence of hhv-6 plus HIV = aids. (see archives of www.keephopealive.org )

========

i wonder too if in GETTING the vaccine doesn't simply suppress the virus somehow.

this idea of mine (?) come from my thinking about how homeopathic prophylaxis might work. I imagine that if/when one takes a prophylaxis it doesn't prevent one from being infected by the targeted germ, but that the germ "passes thru" the protected system without causing "morbific influence" (ie causing disease) or disrupting the VF.

perhaps if this proposition is true, then maybe in the case of vacc's, the opposite happens: the disease doesn't pass thru the system but gets stuck up in it, ie supressed....
I don't know if I'm being very clear in this expression... maybe someone out there understands it and can articulate it better.... it's late at night now for me...

In any case, that would lead to treatment being -
a) giving a few doses of Chickenpox vacc 30/200/1M to antidote the vacc damage
b) follow with chicken pox nosode or other aetiological treatment (ie rhus, puls, bell etc)
c) follow with symtomatic simillium

(excuse me for my brash ideas.... but i'm just toying around with it here..)
