Texas Doctor’s Eyewitness Account of Measles Outbreak + Dr. Brian Hooker Interview
Dr. Ben Edwards, an integrative medicine and family practitioner in Lubbock, Texas, is working on the front lines of the ongoing measles outbreak in Gaines County, Texas. In an exclusive interview with CHD’s The Defender, Edwards shared his experience and the unconventional treatments that have proven effective in managing measles cases.
During the outbreak, Edwards and other local doctors have utilized treatments like cod liver oil (rich in vitamins A and D), budesonide (a steroid for reducing airway inflammation), and clarithromycin (an antibiotic). He suggests that the death of a child on February 26 might have been prevented with proper treatment, including budesonide to address respiratory issues linked to the measles infection.
Edwards recounted his experience helping a family with sick children, including administering cod liver oil and prescribing budesonide. Within hours, one of the children showed remarkable improvement, which Edwards described as “miraculous.” The community quickly came together, and with the help of volunteers, Edwards and his team were able to distribute treatments to over 100 children in the area.
Despite pushback from mainstream medical organizations and some concerns about the unconventional treatments, Edwards emphasized the importance of patient-centered care. He criticized the growing reliance on institutional guidelines and stressed that doctors should focus on the immediate needs of patients, regardless of their vaccination status.
Edwards also addressed criticismsead of alternative treatments, including vitamin A supplements, noting that while vaccination is important, the immediate care of sick children must be a priority. This perspective has stirred debate, particularly regarding the use of the MMR vaccine during outbreaks.
As the outbreak continues, Edwards remains committed to offering compassionate, individualized care to his patients, asserting that his approach is simply “normal doctoring.”
