Public discussion around measles often presents a narrow or simplified narrative. But like many topics in health, the full picture is far more complex — and deserves to be explored with care, context, and critical thinking.

In this important webinar, we brought together a panel of experienced health professionals — a practising General Practitioner, a naturopath with a background in holistic care, and Professor Ian Brighthope, founder of the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) — to revisit the topic of measles through a broader lens.
Rather than promoting a singular viewpoint, the conversation sought to open space for a more nuanced understanding.

– How has the experience of measles changed over time?
– What role does natural immunity play in disease outcomes?
– How do public health strategies frame risk — and what considerations are often left out of the conversation?
– Where do conventional and complementary approaches converge or differ in managing infectious disease?

Our speakers shared insights from their varied fields, offering historical, clinical, and preventative perspectives. Together, they explored the evolving nature of measles in modern society — and what informed choice truly means in a world where narratives around health are increasingly polarised.

This is a session for those who want to look deeper, think critically, and understand measles beyond headlines and assumptions.
