Fever! Is it The Wonder Drug?

Did you know that fever is one of nature's most powerful infection fighting weapons? If it could be bottled and sold it would be a true "wonder drug!" Perhaps equally important, studies show that interfering with (lowering) a fever with drugs such acetaminophen (Tylenol) or aspirin (antipyretics) keeps people sick longer. In one study doctors gave half a group of patients flu aspirin while the other half were permitted to have a fever. The aspirin group with lowered fever stayed sick 31/2 days longer!! The paper concluded: "Antipyretics prolong illness in patients with influenza....The duration was significantly prolonged." In another study, researchers reported that lowering fever increased the death rate. It also stated that "there is no convincing evidence that naturally occurring fevers are harmful. In contrast, animal studies have shown that fever helps animals to survive an infection where as antipyretics (lowering fever) increases mortality. There is also considerable evidence that human immunological defenses function better at febrile (warmer) temperatures than at normal ones." In other words, you and your child can fight infection better when you have a fever!! Fever, is an expression of the Innate Intelligence of the body. When you are subluxated the nervous system chokes off this Innate expression which can result in ill health.
