Two Lectures with Dr Jayne LM Donegan MBBS DRCOG DCH DFFP MRCGP MFHom Live Online.... Sunday 29th March 2020
Dr Jayne LM Donegan has practised as a doctor and GP for 36 years. She has extensive experience in paediatrics. She is currently practising as a Homeopath and life style advisor. She started off her medical career as an enthusiastic supporter of the Universal Childhood Vaccination Program. Her research into the problems associated with vaccination began with the Measles Rubella Campaign in 1994. Extensive investigation of the science behind the hype led her to radically change her views. She believes that every parent should be given the opportunity to see that vaccination: its safety and efficacy, is not a black and white issue, so that they can make fully informed choices about their health. Should you vaccinate your child or not? Only you, as a parent, can decide what is best for you and your family.
What to Do if you Don't Vaccinate - and Even More if You Do. Nursing Children, the Elderly and all those in-between through Acute Illness. 12.00 - 14.00
As a parent, making your sick child feel better is your first instinct. However, what to do in this situation is becoming a lost art. Most of us are not trained in medical care, have limited knowledge, and are reliant upon the doctor for every ailment. This has made child illness and infectious diseases such as measles a worrying experience. If you would like to end the confusion which arises over conflicting advice given on child health, stop the fear which comes when dealing with a really poorly child, and have effective drug free alternatives to hand, then this lecture by Dr Jayne Donegan, GP and Homeopath with extensive experience in child health, will give sound safe strategies to cope at this time and outline simple home procedures.

Measles, Mumps, Rubella – What you need to know to give Informed Consent Which is Better? The Disease or the Vaccine? 15.00 - 17.00
In the Feb 7th 1959 issue of the British Medical Journal, Dr John Fry, GP, remarked, “Many mothers have remarked “how much good the attack has done their children,” as they seem so much better after the measles.” In the 1950s and 60s, parents used to actually take their children to Measles, Mumps and Rubella parties to try and get them infected. After a 1990s measles outbreak in a Steiner community in Gloucester, England most parents reported a strengthening and maturing of their child both mentally and physically afterwards “supporting the notion that measles is not a severe illness in most children,” although the author pointed out that the cases were in, “fit, well nourished children from a community that advocates a healthy lifestyle.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1731978/pdf/v055p00685.pdf Advocating a healthy lifestyle as a viable alternative vaccination against measles is not am option that the Department of Health offers to parents.
