Raw Paleo way of curing Fever and Flu

[zaidi]

I searched the forum, but didn't get success with this question.

Please help.

Thanks.

PS: I always wished that our Paleo Book would have been completed and got a section where Paleo ways for curing different sickness are also dealt with.

By just eating raw and avoiding toxins and anything harmful... you don't really get sick on this diet... very hard to get sick.

Most studies of the bones of paleolithic man indicate that paleolithic people didn't have our diseases, and I am unaware of definitive studies showing that humans in that ancient period had a system of cures. However, I suspect that they could have used experiential medicine, so go ahead and apply what you know to heal what you might get. My experience has been no colds and flu while eating raw paleo, and I think that's because I'm not eating mucus-forming or inflammatory foods like milk and grains.

Also, don't forget that fever is the body's cure for certain pathogens.

Don't try to cure the cure.

fever and flu are actually cleaning you. you must be happy for having it =)

sometimes, being sick (like flu and fever), is an accelerated way of desintoxication.

don't take stimulants, or the cleansing will be shuted off or take longer to finish.

If you feel tired , rest, if you feel thirsty, drink water, if you feel hungry (i doubt you will want to eat too much) eat raw.

Don't be afraid! and you will feel better in a few days, when you are actually clean again. The most you rest, the faster it will be.
You will realize when the clean its over, cause you will have an enormous amount of energy and feel really good.

Thank you. It makes some things clear to me.

I have also not got fever or flu for a long long time, and I was little afraid of it while some people say it is a sign of cancer that people stop having flu and fever.

At moment some members of my family having it and I think I got it from them (... also I had to cheat on raw during last week as whole family came to visit us from other city and it was impossible to continue raw in their presence).
