Parents Warned Against Meds for Mild Fever- by Dr Jeff Langmaid Brandon, FL Chiropractor

Below you will find a link to a great article in which the American Academy of Pediatrics warms against the use of medication for mild fevers.  From the article- “It should be emphasized that fever is not an illness but is, in fact, a physiological mechanism that has beneficial effects in fighting infection.”

Chiropractors have recognized and respected the human bodies natural response system for over 100 years.  It's nice to see the Academy of Pediatrics take a step in the right direction!
