The recent measles outbreak in West Texas has resulted in over 500 confirmed cases and multiple deaths, predominantly among unvaccinated children. 

Amid this crisis, Dr. Ben Edwards of Veritas Wellness in Texas has reportedly administered unproven and potentially harmful treatments, including aerosolized budesonide (a steroid), clarithromycin (an antibiotic), cod liver oil, and vitamins, to measles-infected children.

All of which as medial experts alarm are not suitable for treating measles.

He does not offer vaccines, which are 90% effective in this case.

According to NBC News, he has also been operating a makeshift clinic in Seminole, offering children these unproven treatments including, according to a video posted by an anti-vaccine group, while he said he was himself sick with measles.

Medical experts have expressed significant concern over these practices, emphasizing that such treatments lack scientific validation and may exacerbate patient outcomes. The standard of care for measles involves supportive measures and, crucially, prevention through vaccination.

We, the undersigned, call upon the Texas Medical Board and relevant health authorities to launch investigation into Dr. Ben Edwards’ medical practices concerning the treatment of measles patients to determine adherence to established medical standards.

If evidence of malpractice is found, implement necessary disciplinary measures to uphold medical ethics and patient safety - including revoking his license and other penalties.

The dissemination of misinformation and the administration of unproven therapies during a public health crisis is causing real damage and can cause a human life! 

It is imperative that medical professionals adhere to evidence-based practices to ensure the highest standard of patient care!
