Give the FEVER a Break

In a recent study reported in Phamacotherapy, sufferers who attacked fevers with medicine were sick an average of 3½ days longer than those who did not.

Believing that a fever is a disease, rather than a symptom or sign that the body is doing its best to boost its immune response, leads many people to attack it head on. Don’t fall into this trap. In fact, a wellness based look at fever will redirect you to see it as a defense against infection.

It makes sense that if fever helps defend against infection, giving fever-reducing medications may make the situation considerably worse. Suppressing fever may also lead to more reoccurrences down the road.

What are some of the ways you can support a fever?

  • Get adequate rest.
  • Forget “feeding or starving” a fever.
  • Dress appropriate to your sensations of heat or cold.
  • Increase fluid intake ~ water with lemon and fresh squeezed juices only!
  • Feed yourself whatever is appropriate for returning the body to health.
  • Continue to take your daily dose of Factor One: Bio-Immunizer organic supplement.

In a healthy person, normal temperature will fluctuate between 97.2° and 100.0° F, varying with activity and time of day.
