New Treatment For Kawasaki Disease

Some childhood illnesses are difficult to detect. That is true of Kawasaki disease, named after the Japanese doctor who first identified it. Left untreated, Kawasaki can be deadly. Now a new treatment is being tested for a resistant form of the disease. VOA's Carol Pearson has more.

I can't believe I'm JUST looking this up on youtube. Thank you Dr. Kawasaki for discovering this and finding a cure. I thank those that also found another new treatment for the disease.  I'd like to make this disease more aware to people....especially since I'm a survivor of it.

@1enzeder - This is video comforts me. This is VERY interesting because I am a survivor of this disease. I had it when I was 12 (I'm 32 now). My brother had it when he was 2 (He's 34 now). We both have led normal lives. I am almost shocked to hear someone else had a sister/brother that had it like in my family. I'm wondering if that only happens in Afro-American families because that is my ethnicity just like those in this video. I wish I could talk to that family.

.... disease, possibly triggered by soy products. I tried to tell other parents on online forums but was ridiculed and dismissed as a lunatic. If parents are too weak and cowardly to take responsibility for the health of their children instead of entrusting the lives of their children to medical professionals who haven't got a clue what they're doing, I am no longer bothered by it or the suffering they bring upon themselves. I have done everything I can.

@jessiefajardo My Son was diagnosed with complete certainty about 9 years ago, exhibiting every known symptom in typical order. As you can see from my videos, he is in perfect health, just short of his 12th birthday. So much so, that we began receiving letters from our doctors asking if we had changed family doctors. As he entered the fever stage, we began feeding him organic carrot juice... he was completely rid of the disease in 12 hours. I am convinced Kawasaki's is a deficiency...cont.

It won't let me post the video but look up "Kawasaki Disease.wmv"

@jessiefajardo I just read today on another post that it is possible for it to come back. The best thing to do is to go to the doctor and have her checked out. This is the post where I saw it. It did not reoccur in my son but I get him checked out ever time I suspect anything. God bless you and I will pray for you and your daughter!!!!

Posted video where I hear about it reoccurring will be posted for you above. Hope it helps.

i had kawasaki disese at 10 but i had it worse. I nearly died and mine was worse than leukemia

[minmotstand]

@swcwcc no, it is not like leukemia and it is far less deadly than leukemia. You might be confusing leukemia with leukocytosis (elevated level of white blood cells) which is a predominant feature in KD.

[swcwcc]

is it true that this is a form of lukemia-or if not worse than lukemia?
