Why I never reduce a Fever.. and what to do instead.

Happy New Year! There are several reasons it is better not to reduce a fever. Since fever is part of the body’s natural way of fighting illness or infection, reducing the fever can actually make the illness last longer, as it lets the cause of the illness live for a longer time.

Additionally, most conventional methods of lowering a fever can do more harm than good. Tylenol and Advil (the two medications most often given to children to reduce fever) both have side effects and cause liver failure in adults and children each year, especially when given regularly. Medications are also foreign substances in the body, which must be metabolized and filtered by the body and this takes energy the body could be using to fight the illness.

How to treat a Fever..

BENEFITS OF RAW CAMU CAMU POWDER!

Hey, it's Marco! Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is the name of a bush which grows in the Amazonian rain forest of Peru. The Camu-Camu bush produces a fruit with the same name which contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The camu-camu fruit has a surprising range of therapeutic effects. Many people have stopped using large dosages of synthetic Vitamin C because they find that Camu-Camu is energizing, mood-lifting and highly effective in strengthening the immune system. Got benefits? Absolutely!  The Camu Camu Berry contains powerful phytochemicals, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. Specifically, the Camu Camu fruit contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange in its fresh state, delivers up to 600 TIMES MORE vitamin C than oranges when it’s dried into the powder form.  Camu Camu powder has an exceptionally rich amount of whole, natural vitamin C— quickly becoming one of the most sought-after vitamin C sources in the world. Camu Camu contains important levels of beta carotene, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin and thiamin.  Also contains trace amounts of iron and calcium. It's a little tart and tangy with a very nice citrus flavor. Add it to your smoothies, fresh, organic, homemade juices and be sure to give it to your children! 

Warning! This wonderful source of goodness DOES NOT, I repeat, does not come in a vaccine! Therefore, no needles and little bootys will be harmed! :D
