Fevers

A fever is a symptom that you feel when your body is trying to eliminate some type of foreign immune challenge.  The most common immune challenges the body can encounter are virus, bacteria, parasite, and fungus.  However there are many other reasons why the body may spike a fever, but without a doubt when a fever does occur it can be frustrating and scary, especially when the fever is affecting your own child.
From a holistic standpoint the most important thing to understand about a fever is its origin of cause.  If the fever is viral, fungal, parasitic, or bacterial in nature the key to fighting the immune challenge faster is assisting your brain’s ability to locate the immune challenge quickly.  Our brains are incredible messengers and decision makers.  The human brain has the ability to recruit the necessary cells needed to kill an immune challenge, such as a virus, or bacteria, as long as the brain is able to recognize the cause.
There are some strains of virus, bacteria, parasite, fungus, and other immune challenges that are intelligent and can hide from the brain, allowing these immune challenges to live in the body, undetected.  For example, if a virus is undetected by the brain and the immune system does not respond to the viral threat, the body cannot spike a fever in attempt to kill the virus, potentially threatening the body’s overall health. A virus that the body can not kill will get stronger and mutate with other virus or bacteria making the body more susceptible to pathogens.  When the body temperature rises to the appropriate temperature to kill the pathogen, the protein makeup of a virus or other immune challenge is destroyed.  If the body temperature cannot rise sufficiently, the pathogen will mutate and become stronger, causing relapses in fevers.
Holistically a lot can be done to safely eliminate these immune challenges from the body before they cause a more serious disease process.  The brain has developed a road map of nerve pathways that travel from the brain, down the spinal A fever is a symptom that you feel when your body is trying to eliminate some type of foreign immune challenge.  The most common immune challenges the body can encounter are virus, bacteria, parasite, and fungus.  However there are many other reasons why the body may spike a fever, but without a doubt when a fever does occur it can be frustrating and scary, especially when the fever is affecting your own child.

In our office we have had children break fevers in as quickly as a half hour after their visit and we have seen adults recover from the flu in 24 hours instead of seven days.  Fever is a natural response to a threat on the body, once the brain recognizes the threat, the body will not only begin to kill the pathogen but create a permanent memory of the pathogen.  Your body is the most powerful healer in the world, once it discovers the cause, your body will begin to recover quickly.
