Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Inflammation is a sign of increased tissue change (metabolism).
The heat (fever) that is part of inflammation breaks down toxins, poisons and waste. The increased fluids help transport nutrients to the affected area and remove debris.
Various cultures have used saunas and sweat lodges to recreate the heat a person experiences during a fever.
Massage, moderate exercise and stretching all generate heat and improve circulation. Circulation is also stimulated when heat or cold are applied to the body. Improved circulation helps clean out waste products and deliver nutrients to tissues.
-Many parents notice that children experience both mental and physical growth after having a fever.
-Fasting allows the body to concentrate its forces on breaking down and eliminating waste.
-Daily exercise short of fatigue, calmness of mind, moderate intellectual powers, a family life and a merry disposition are aids to longevity.
-Drugs add toxins to the body and can stop the body's natural elimination. This creates chronic illness (inflammation, congestion, irritation), as the body is never allowed to completely cleanse.
-Rest is the greatest healer.
