About this title

Review:

"The thing that really stood out to me about Vasey's book is that he worded it in ways that anyone can understand it. You don't need a medical degree to comprehend the concepts put forth in The Healing Power of Fever. Nor do you need one to implement his methods. With simple tips such as ensuring to change the sheets when someone is bedridden and has a fever, drinking plenty of water and complementing treatments with things like herbal teas such as a white willow decoction his suggestions are easy to follow with ideas anyone can use in any lifestyle on any budget. Highly recommended, for anyone and everyone."--Jessica Elizabeth, Facing North

"To quickly summarize, The Healing Power of Fever should be in the hands of all hypochondriacs (such as myself) and every parent. In the right hands, this tiny book could eliminate a lot of stress and grief."--Huw Griffiths, New Dawn, July 2012

"Dr. Vasey helps us understand the body's temperature, its natural variations, its natural course and its dangers. He highlights ways to control fever through diet, hygiene, hydrotherapy, intestinal draining, complementary care and medicinal herbs. He advises on when to fast and what to eat during a fever, and how to manage liquid, fluid and solid food stages. His book is a boon for health professionals and laypeople."--Nexus Magazine, August 2012

From the Back Cover:

HEALTH / WELLNESS Contrary to popular belief, a fever is not a symptom to be treated but a sign of a healthy, functioning immune system naturally working to heal the body. The rise in body temperature is caused by the intensification of efforts by the body's defenses as they fight microbes and purify the internal terrain. Lowering a fever through the use of drugs counters the body's ability to fight illness, infection, or poisoning and can greatly lengthen recovery time. In The Healing Power of Fever, naturopath Christopher Vasey explains the natural process of a fever, how to properly measure it, and how to best support the body during the three different stages of fever through the use of hydrotherapy, medicinal herbs, and diet. Providing guidelines on the dangers of fever, he details how to know when a fever is too high or has gone on too long and what to do to bring it down and aid the body's recovery. He also explains how to create an artificial fever as a means of detoxification and rejuvenation. Helping us understand what a fever really is and how it can benefit the body, Vasey asks us to stop considering fever as an enemy to be conquered and start seeing it as the healing ally that it truly is. CHRISTOPHER VASEY, N.D., is a naturopath specializing in detoxification and rejuvenation. He is the author of The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, The Naturopathic Way, The Water Prescription, The Whey Prescription, and The Detox Mono Diet. He lives near Montreux, Switzerland.
