RE: fever....how to break

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

In an alternative medicine, fever is not necessarily considered to be such a bad thing.. it’s a symbol of how a body is trying to deal with the illness – but western medicine,  we try to remove the symptoms immediately without treating the cause..  I have had cats who have had viral infections and the fever goes over 105 (and I had a couple of dozens of them for over the course of years)  ----as long as I supplement  with hydration and nutritional supplement ( if they are not eating). I usually let it run its course.. and they will go down in a few days.. I don’t use antibiotics because it does not treat the illness, but it only further weaken their immune system.  Again, fever is not a bad thing.. though low fever is considered to be really bad,, as it means that body does not have enough energy to deal with the problem..   Instead, I have given them homeopathy to ones with fever and I had tremendous success with them.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 8:52 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: fever....how to break   Have you tried Lysine-- 500 mg? Also, when Ginger's fever kept coming back, I did Immuno-regulin, which initially made it go up to 106 for an hour, which was scary, but then after the second dosage of I-R 3 days later it broke completely.
