Thus, when our body has a fever, it is not good to lower the fever as this will hinder the body from doing its job of getting rid of the problems causing the fever.

 

What we need to do is help our body by raising our temperature. Many years ago when someone had a fever, they would put them to bee cover them up with lots of blankets, and eve put hot water bottles on their feet. They would also give the individual large amounts of put soft water to drink. After a time the fever would break and the person was on their way to recovery.

 

ISN'T TOO HIGH A FEVER DANGEROUS?

 

Conventional medicine spends most of its time treating symptoms or signs of disease instead of treating the disease. For example, when one has a fever and goes to the doctor h is given medication, such as aspirin, to lower the fever. By lowering the fever by chemical y introducing a drug, the medical profession is not treating the disease but instead only addressing the symptom. Medicine as a profession ha taught us that it is beneficial to lower the fever whereas, in reality, this will cause harm to the body. By lowering the fever artificial y this prevents the immune system from doing the job is supposed to do, thus the person gets sicker 2 the microbes increase.

 

As long as the temperature is below 105° F, it will not cause harm or brain damage to normal person. When I worked at a hospital in Central America we had patients come in with malaria who had high temperatures and it didn’t cause brain damage.

 

IS THERE A NATURAL WAY TO LOWER A FEVER?

If a person's temperature goes over 105° make sure they are drinking plenty of water. If they are drinking the water and their temperature is still over 105° F. then the best way to lower the fever is by putting them into a full bath tub of water that is around 98° – 100° F. Never put them into ice water or cold water. This will cause most of the blood from the legs and arms to go to the trunk of the body and will hinder circulation and be detrimental.

 

WHAT ELSE SHOULD BE DONE FOR A HIGH FEVER?

As long as the fever is below 105° F. let it take its course. Give plenty of water as mentioned earlier. If they want to eat give them only fresh fruit. Make sure they are comfortable and in quiet surroundings. Be sure they have plenty of fresh air and sunshine, and that they bathe everyday. Most fevers are of a rather short duration, but occasionally they can last for a longer period of time. The human body is the greatest doctor alive. When one has a fever, help the fever to do its job natural y.
