When is it ok to give your children over the counter medication?

It seems we have lost touch with why our bodies do what they do.  Whether you are religious or not, you have to acknowledge that there is a power that runs our bodies that is greater than our conciousness.  This is clearly visible in the fact that many life sustaining processes happen without your knowledge.

Life is a delicate ballet of chemical reactions of life and death divinely inspired to express themselves in the form that is your body.   When you interfere with this ballet, you find that the dance is altered, awkward in a sense, creating more death than life both at the cellular and also at whole body level.

A cold or flu virus by itself is not bad.  It is what it is.  By itself it is just a bunch of just cells.  They have no affect on your  life…Until you give them a soil that they can live in.

The soil in this case is your body.  If you were to do a swab culture of the mouth you would find that you have just about every common type of bacteria and virus including the bacteria that causes Strep throat living inside.  The question you have to ask yourself is, why aren’t I sick all the time if these “bugs” are so bad?   It boils down to your immune system.

The immune system when working properly is capable of preventing or stoppin just about any “bug” you may come across, especially the common ones.

The problem lies in the fact that we as a society have been scared into believing that the body is missing something and that it is incapable of protecting itself.   We have even been tricked into believing that the the body’s protective mechanisms are bad and that they should be prevented at all costs

One example of this is fever.  We have been told that fever is a bad thing and that it should be prevented.  This is a shame because this is the body’s way of immobilizing the “Bug” and killing it.  Bacteria and Viruses cannot live in a Fevered body.  Once the bug is dead, the fever breaks.  This is the way it was done long before over the counter drugs, pharmaceutical companies and medical doctors got a hold of it.

So what are we to do?  I say do what our ancestors did.  They rested, monitored the fever, and cooled themselves down when the fever got too high. By the way 104 degrees is too high.

The use of over the counter meds has led to a loss of immune function and a general laziness of the body’s ability to recognize a “bug” threat.  Consequently the body is late in coming to the defense, resulting in the huge symptom package that you suffer from.

So I ask you, when do you think it is ok to give your children over the counter medication?  I’ll let you answer that question yourself.
