What is Cough, Fever, Vomiting…
Some little-known facts that they don’t tell us about the body’s own defense mechanisms
Eliminating bacteria and viruses
- “Coughing eliminates bacteria and viruses from the body through the lungs. If you take fever-reducing medications or cough suppressants, this can lead to pneumonia or more serious respiratory infections.”
(Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. William B. Greenough, professor of medicine).
Medication cannot be given to babies under 2 years old
- According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), medications for cough and cold that are available over the counter should not be given to babies and children under 2 years old “due to the risk of life-threatening side effects.” The AAP also points out that several studies show that cough and cold products “do not work in children under 6 years old and can have potentially serious side effects.”
Antibiotics are not an effective treatment
- “Antibiotic therapy is not an effective treatment for ear infections and the rates of recurrent ear infections are significantly higher (7-10) in children who have been treated with antibiotics.” The AAP’s family medicine journal states: “90% of the time they are useless.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Some sources suggest that antibiotics destroy the immune system, promoting the growth of cancer cells, future psychiatric problems, and severe hormonal imbalances.”
Risks of these medications
- Dr. Tamara R. Kuittinen, Director of Medical Education at the Department of Emergency Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said on FoxNews.com, “These medications can do more harm than good,” “The ingredients in children’s cough and cold medications do not help. They are not effective, especially the decongestant, and part of this is because children’s anatomy is different. Besides, the risk is high.”
It is a widely known fact that when you suppress symptoms, you poison the body because you do not allow the cleansing mechanisms to act. The body always knows what to do if not interfered with. When the body is detoxifying from poisons, this is GOOD! Better out than in… the expression is better than suppression.
God has designed the body with survival tools such as coughing, sneezing, fevers, vomiting, and diarrhea. When you work with the body, it can and will heal itself. The power that made the body will heal the body; you just have to trust it! When you try to bypass those body mechanisms with suppressive and symptomatic masking medications, be prepared to face long-term negative consequences.
If we want to be healthy and stay healthy, should we learn to work with the body and not against it? For a long time, there have been powerful NATURAL strategies that have proven to keep families healthy and strong without destructive and even deadly effects and debilitating effects on the body.
