Fever info - compilation

[Sheri Nakken]

Other info I share with my students & lists......

I know it is extremely difficult once you first start to look at all of
this. But glad you are open to it.

There is so much that we have been taught that needs to be questioned
seriously.

One thing you can do is educate yourself about homeopathy and remedies and
use those things if things are serious with Ruby. Fevers do not ultimately
end in seizures for most children. We have heard the story of one mom here
with her child who did have them. Tepid baths are less dangerous than the
drugs. But usually nothing is needed at all. The fever is SO necessary
when ill and you are not helping your child by trying to lower it in most
instances. And siezures rarely happen with a slow rising, maintaining
fever - its usually those that shoot up real fast - but that doesn't mean
always.

And life has pain and it really isn't a good thing to always totally try
and take away the pain. I know this sounds cruel, but think about it. I
know you don't want your child to suffer, but if it is going to damage
their liver, what sense is that. And sometimes we just overreact thinking
there is tons of pain when there isn't. It is really hard though to step
back when you are the parent.
AND YES - everyone has to educate themselves about all the possibilities
and what you will do.

Study homeopathy if you need to to help you use the remedies.
Have a homeopath or naturopath as back up. Once you decide not to
vaccinate, you soon start to see you don't want much else that allopaths
have to offer unless serious emergency and no time for anything else.

Have all your ducks in a row............

Seizures From Fevers Don't Cause Brain Injury
There is so much that we have been taught that needs to be questioned

Fevers do not ultimately
end in seizures for most children. Tepid baths are less dangerous than the

when ill and you are not helping your child by trying to lower it in most
instances. And siezures rarely happen with a slow rising, maintaining
fever - its usually those that shoot up real fast - but that doesn't mean
always (or when you use things to lower them and the fever goes down fast).

And life has pain and it really isn't a good thing to always totally try
and take away the pain. I know this sounds cruel, but think about it. I
know you don't want your child to suffer, but if it Tyelenol, etc, are
going to damage
their liver, what sense is that. And sometimes we just overreact thinking

sickness is necessary and may be the way that
your immune system needs to respond in order to heal or detoxify, but it is
important to deal with the ailment in the most, best method.

Homeopatic remedies do what the immune system is trying to accomplish
without interfering with the method to enhance and support the health. When
the remedy is the correct chose, it may not, and often does not, remove a
fever, but makes it more productive. The fever may raise but the patient
seems more relaxed and is able to rest. The remedy may cause the cough that
is dry (such as in pneumonia) to become loose in order to move and exit the
system in its proper mannerto release the fluid from the lungs. It may
bring on a runny nose in a baby that is screaming with an ear infection.
The runny nose is a proper response in order remove the fluid that is
infecting the inner ear. It may bring a chronic asthmatic back into the
bronchitis type symptoms that were "suppressed" years back with antibiotics
or a vaccination.

Most people believe that they should avoid all illness or that they should
stop a fever or a cough or a pain as it is being experienced. Illness is
necessary in order to release the infection and to strengthen the system.

Health is often in the perspective of the observer. Health is not equated
with the "absence of disease", it is a "Vibrancy of life and living" or
'freedom to be who you were meant to be. Many
people today feel that stopping a symptom or not expericening a symptom is
"health". "I never get the flu or a cold", I often hear most chronic
aliment suffers will tell me.

Most times when someone does not experience
illness it is because they are:
1.) extremely healthy being vibrant in all ways,
a.) pure organic diet
b.) healthy pure water
c.) high energy levels high
d.) exercising in mild to moderate methods

2.)
having no weakness in the area of the symptoms of that particular illness
(no susceptibility to it);
or
3.) are so ill with an overwhelming chronic illness, that their immune
system has no time to respond to the mild or moderate symptom of a cold or
flu, chicken pox, measles, whooping cough because it is overworked dealing
with the life threatening problem.

Artifcially induced immunity brought to us through allopathic vaccinations
actually works by invoking the third reason that I had listed above. There
is only a very small percentage of the world's population that is
representative of #1,
the vibrant health catagory. Most often when you do not experience the
symptoms of the cold or flu that is going around it is because you are not
weak in the organs effected by that virus (or susceptible). So if you are
ill with the
symptoms it is because you need to clear or cleanse that organ system.
Homeopathy will support you in that method. It aids the system to muster
the chemistry that is necessary to heal and clear without having to
expericense all of the symptoms that are needed to trigger the pharmacy
response that the body needs in order to do so.
