Bacteria don’t like high temperatures.

A fever is your body battling against bacteria.

Many drugs that people take when they have a fever are counterproductive because they inhibit the body’s natural defenses against viruses and bacteria, which live only in a very narrow temperature band. When your body’s temperature reaches above 98.6 degrees, that’s your body’s method of killing off viruses and bacteria. Taking drugs like aspirin to relieve fever can actually work against your own body. Of course, in cases of very high temperatures, you should seek a physician right away. But in most cases, choosing a holistic alternative like chiropractic is preferable, because chiropractic is an approach that works with, not against your body. Carefully administered adjustments realign the spine and stimulate the body’s natural immune response to help fight off viruses and bacteria.

Yours in health,
