We all have at one point or another ... snuggled on the couch or in bed, in an attempt to protect ourselves with the safety of our covers, wishes for the terrible disease afflicts us simply give up and leave.
There are few worse feelings for most people.
But did you know that occasionally with a cold or flu is actually good for you?
While this may seem counter-intuitive, once sick, or even twice a year, your immune system a chance to a good workout.
And part of that process with a fever ... which surprisingly enough, is also a good thing.
I discovered this while spending some time working on an audio recording project with known Viroimmunologist few years back.
What he told me was very surprising.
A fever is usually caused when your body is mounting an immune response on an invasion of bacteria or a virus. A fever is basically your immune system to try to warm your body to be inhospitable to the virus or bacteria to reproduce.
What he said was that if your body is mounting that the reaction shows that your immune system is working to rid your body of the intruder.
Unless a fever dangerously high levels, it is usually better to avoid drugs and instead lets the body naturally do his job.
It is important to your immune system stretch their legs once in a while. Like any system, is a good working occasionally for good. He said it was not such a bad thing for a fever once or twice one years.
He went on to say that many people are quick to take Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil) or aspirin reduce fever.
The problem is this makes it much harder for the immune system doing its job, because the drug fever your immune system is that it reduces the creation against the intruder.
If people would just let the fever run its course, they would probably be better much faster.
Now I am not saying that you should not take medication if you have a fever. As the temperature is too high can be dangerous and even kill.
But I suggest you do some research and talk with your doctor or Alternative Health Practitioner. They can advise the best medication to take when you wait a little while and may be beneficial.
It is also important to note that this does not apply to people with a compromised immune system, on immunosuppressive therapy (such as after an organ transplant), or for children.
And of course, as with everything, use your common sense when following advice from someone!
I know that being sick is no fun ... but it is important.
I am not suggesting that you try out and not sick.
Having good hygiene habits like washing your hands frequently and not touching your eyes, nose or mouth unless your hands are clean, are very important.
But Next time you put someone like you would put your misery, remember this ... illness can not feel good, but it's really good for you.
