Symptoms are our FriendSymptoms are our body's way of communicatingits needs, much like an infant signaling discomfortwhile teething or a child experiencing growingpains. With proper nourishment and care, thesechallenges can often be alleviated or evenavoided. The same principle applies to acuteailments in adulthood—when we address the rootcauses, the body can heal with greater ease andless discomfort.For adults, acute ailments often serve as a reminder of underlyingimbalances or stressors. Rather than suppressing these signals withmedications that mask the problem, we can view symptoms as anopportunity to uncover and address the root causes. When we nourish ourbodies with the proper nutrients, create an environment for healing, andsupport our natural defense mechanisms, the body’s discomfort lessens asit restores balance.Understanding symptoms as our ally in the healing process empowers us towork with the body, not against it. This perspective helps shift our focusfrom merely managing symptoms to fostering true wellness and resilience.PAGE 5Healing with IntentionAcute illnesses provide an opportunity to slowdown and care for your body.

Acute illnesses, such as fevers, colds, or minor infections, are the body’s wayof signaling an imbalance or a need for rest and repair. These symptomsare not enemies but rather allies, guiding us toward healing. However,conventional medications often aim to suppress symptoms, potentiallyprolonging recovery or creating additional challenges.The Problem with Symptom SuppressionFever Suppression: Fevers play a crucial role in fighting infections bycreating an environment that’s hostile to pathogens. Reducing a feverprematurely can slow recovery.Painkillers: While they may mask discomfort, they can prevent you fromunderstanding and addressing the underlying cause of pain.Antibiotics: Disrupt gut microbiota, weakening immunity (and are nevernecessary in a healthy individual). A Natural Approach to Acute CareInstead of suppressing symptoms, acute care focuses on supporting thebody’s inherent healing mechanisms. Here are some guiding principles:Support, Don’t Suppress1.Use remedies that assist the body’s natural defenses to stimulate thebody’s ability to heal itself. There is no better physician than our innateintelligence. 2.Hydrate and Nourish3.Ensure adequate hydration and nutrient-dense foods to give the bodythe energy it needs to fight off illness. Consider fasting. 4.Listen to Your Body5.Rest is a powerful healer. Prioritize sleep and minimize stress duringacute illnesses.6.Use Targeted Remedies7.Fevers: Allow low-grade fevers to run their course while monitoring forsafety. Support with remedies like ABB or lukewarm compresses.Pain or Swelling: Turn to natural anti-inflammatories like arnica creamor calendula and Enzyme Therapy. Immune Boosting - avoid sugar, carbs and know what is your specificimmune booster (according to blood type and/or metabolic type). PAGE 7Acute Care: Supporting the Body’s Natural Healing
