Would you eat raw meat? NO! You would cook the meat to get rid of any bacteria that may be in the meat. You essentially created a fever in the meat! Crazy, huh?
What about a fever? What should I do? My Doctor tells me to take Tylenol. When is it too high?
This are the questions that I have been asked a few times this week! Let's take a look at the answers .
Fevers are your body doing exactly what it is suppose to do at the perfect time. What does that even mean, right?
When your body has a fever, it is trying to kill off any bacterias or viruses. It is your immune system burning out the bad things, it is your body HEALing!
Honor your symptoms...We are taught that if you have a fever to lower it with Tylenol! That is just flat out wrong. If you have a fever, you should monitor it but you must understand that your body is doing what it is suppose to do to get you HEALthy.
Here is what can/should you do to when you have fever...
1. Monitor the temp...Monitor to be sure that you or your child do not get lethargic. It is not about how high the number gets, its about what you do with it and how your body responds.
2. Hydrate with 100% Water (not juice, tea, sports drinks, etc.). This means you need to drink water - half your body weight in ounces of water per day. If you are having a hard time getting water into your body, take a warm bath! Your body will actually absorb the fluids to prevent dehydration
3. Do not feed the infection...No sugars or grains!
4. Vitamin C & Vitamin D3 helps the immune system and will help the fever break!
5. Chiropractic Adjustments are essential helping the HEAL!
As you grill your healthy animal meats this summer, remember to let your body cook out the bacteria and viruses in your own body as well.
You Are HEALing,
