Fever is a defense that the body uses to kill viruses and other germs. We know that germs growing in cultures die if you turn up the temperature too much. The same is happening in your body when your brain turns up the temperature when you get sick. We also know that the white blood cells and other protective mechanisms in the body work more efficiently at higher temperatures. Getting a fever is an important part of your body's defense against infection.
So why do we try to stop fevers by using "fever reducers"?? The concept of a medicine with the purpose of reducing fever is insane. Yet it has been massively hyped up by the drug industry to sell more products.
Fevers are not fun, we know.
Its important during a fever to stay hydrated (minerals help a ton) and
trust your body to do what it is supposed too!
& MOST IMPORTANTLY... GET ADJUSTED!
