“Children Who Produce Higher Fevers Are Healthier”
“Children who produce higher fevers, strong rashes and good discharges of mucus and pus, are healthier and more robust and have stronger immune systems than children who produce a low intensity of these symptoms. These robust children vigorously externalized and healed their infections spontaneously, often without antibiotics; they had had little or no antibiotics, antipyretics or vaccinations in their lives. The children who had had all their vaccinations, lots of antipyretics and antibiotics – a lot of suppressive, internalizing medical treatments, these children never got high fevers and were the ones who were more likely to have allergies and autoimmune problems.” (13)
A fever is designed to serve the body and indicates a healthy robust immune and nervous system. Don’t let the fear mongers convince you that your child’s body is weak and in need of outside intervention nor that your instincts don’t matter. Most parents I serve have a sense of what is good for their child and simply need reassurance given all that they hear on television. The power that made their body heals their body! Trust it!
