Fever
Can be due to stomach flu, earache, and sore throat. Vitamin C is a natural fever reducer.
Most moms scared to death of fever. This fear can actually stop this very, important process.
Chapter 7 of Dr. Mendelsohn's book says, "Medical professionals have lead moms to believe
fever is dangerous. Your child's temperature may rise for different reasons. Fevers to be
concerned about are usually from obvious causes - poisoning, heat stroke."
Exception - newborn babies may, suffer after birth from instruments used for circumcision.
If baby has a fever, don’t overlook overdressing as a cause.
Your Shaklee Medicine Cabinet
Many fevers stem from viral or bacterial that the child will overcome without medical help.
No correlation- between height of temperature and seriousness of diseases. Untreated fevers
will not exceed 105 and do not rise in-exorbitantly.
Measures to reduce temperatures can be WORSE than unnecessary; and are actually
counterproductive. Don't be afraid of FEVER.
Temperature rise will burn fluids, which can lead to dehydration so there is a big need for
Performance.
High fevers - don't put that fever reducing medicine in. Too much Tylenol hurts liver, kidneys
and stops fever from fighting.

Sore throat
Take garlic at the onset of a sore throat, scratchy throat or viral pneumonia. We also take
Defend and Resist at the onset of a sore throat (really at the onset of anything!)
Garlic is known as nature’s antibiotic.
One mg of allicin (a component of garlic) has the potency of 15 standard units of penicillin.
Garlic is effective against toxic bacteria, viruses, and fungus.

upset stomach)
For adults: take 9-12 garlic per day to achieve antibiotic effects
For Nursing Moms: if you take the garlic and alfalfa, it will get to the baby through the milk. It
is also encouraged that you take EZ-Gest, an enzyme that will help break down the garlic for the
stomach and the breast milk

overnight (1 capsule per sock)
