<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'>What should you do for a
fever? The old joke is, "Nothing. What has it done for
me?" </span> </p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Actually, a fever
probably has done a lot for you. Your body successfully fights many
illnesses by creating a fever. Remember, your body made that fever, and there
is probably a benefit. Robert Mendelssohn, M.D. routinely told patients to
throw away their thermometers. Ancient medical wisdom says, "Give me a
fever and I can cure anything." Years ago, at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Park
Ridge</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Hospital</st1:PlaceType> in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Rochester</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">New
York</st1:State></st1:place>, I picked up a what-to-do-for-fever
booklet. It said that the hospital does not even treat a fever until it
is over 102 degrees, and then only for the comfort of the patient. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So what do you do for a
fever? Well, first do nothing at all. If it runs its course in a day or
two, let it be. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If a fever is very high
for very long, though, there is genuine cause for concern and for
action. Many days of a fever in excess of 104 degrees might result in
heat seizures, kidney failure or a variety of other complications. Fevers
are not the trouble; they are the indicator of trouble. We need to deal with
the cause of the fever and the fever will take care of itself. When I walk
indoors shivering on a winter's day, I do not want muscle relaxants or pain killers. I
want warmth. Get me warm, and my teeth will stop chattering on their
own. It is good to know WHY the body has a fever. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In our house, we will
accept a daytime fever up to 103.5 degrees without medication. We like
to see it under 102 at night. This mostly comes from our worrisome
nature as parents. When our kids were very little, we slept a lot better
knowing the fever was down before bedtime. To reliably lower the fever,
we used vitamin C and plenty of it. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The biggest plus for
vitamin C is that it is remarkably safe. Another advantage of high-dose
vitamin C therapy is that, while it is an excellent antipyretic, vitamin C
acts as a natural antibiotic and also strengthens the immune system. Vitamin
C lowers a fever by eliminating its cause. The vitamin must be given
very frequently and in sufficient quantity to get results. When sick, I
think one should take vitamin C as often as humanly possible, even every ten
minutes if necessary. Bowel tolerance and/or cessation of symptoms
indicates sufficient quantity. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Bed rest and liquids have
always been and still are very helpful. Instead of water or worthless
sugar "juice drinks," I suggest you use freshly made vegetable
juices. Carrot juice in particular is fairly tasty and loaded with carotenes. Many
fevers are accompanied by infection. Infection rapidly depletes the liver of
its vitamin A reserves. Carotene is the cheapest and safest way to take
in large amounts of provitamin A, which the body will convert into
retinol on demand. Deficiency and toxicity are therefore both
avoided. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Of course a sick body
needs sleep. A niacin supplement will shorten the time it takes to fall
asleep and actually act as a natural sedative. No more niacin should be
taken at a time than causes a slight warm feeling, or
"flush." </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Homeopathy may be very
appropriate to try during a fever. Non-prescription homeopathic preparations
have a nearly two hundred year history of safety. They are so dilute
that toxicity is next to impossible. One might wonder how something so
safe can be so helpful to the body. It was during a major outbreak of
scarlet fever that homeopathic medicine first received validation. Records
showed that more patients survived with homeopathic treatment than did with
conventional medicine. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Two classic remedies that
we've often used at home are microdilutions of Belladonna and Ferrum
Phosphate. Because homeopathy emphasizes treatment of the person as a
whole, there is not just one "fever remedy." In fact, in <i>Boericke's
Materia Medica</i>, Ninth Edition, there are no fewer than 14 PAGES of
indexed references on "fever." Don't be put off by such
thoroughness, however. A simple guide to the handiest remedies will be
quickly found in <i>The Prescriber</i>, by J. H. Clarke, M.D. <i>Homeopathic
Medicine at Home</i>, by Maesimund Panos, M.D. and Jane Heimlich is also
popular. I'm especially keen on<i> Dr. Schuessler's Biochemistry</i>, by J.
B. Chapman, M.D. and <i>Who is Your Doctor and Why</i>, by Alonzo Shadman,
M.D. All these books contain practical dosage information. You may have
noted that all are principally authored by medical doctors. To
irrelevantly quote opera comedian Anna Russell: "I'm not making this up,
you know." </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Many a fever is relieved
by chiropractic adjustment of the upper vertebrae of the neck. It is common
to have a feverish child recover much more rapidly than usual after
treatment. It certainly helped our kids, and that's what matters to
me. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There is a lot of
unnecessary confusion over whether or not to feed a fever. Naturopathic
theory holds that controlled, therapeutic juice fasting promotes recovery
from many illnesses. We are not talking starvation, but rather a pause
from our usual pattern of OVER-eating. Juices, especially raw vegetable
juices, actually provide above-average nourishment for days at least. One
could easily show that vegetable juice fasting really isn't a
"fast" at all. It is an especially healthful, inexpensive,
natural, uncooked, modified liquid diet. <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:
normal'>If you want results fast, then fast for results. </b></span><b
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Philosophically, does it
make sense to put more gasoline into a burning car? First, put the fire
out. We can fill up the tank later. </span><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If all the above options
seem like a medical walk on the wild side, keep in mind that even one good
idea can help your child get well a little faster. </span><span
