Why there can't be world peace..

Imagine as of tomorrow there would be world peace... Some countries however might face a huge economic disaster with millions of unemployed personnel.....The Weapon industry, Ammunition,Transporters (land air sea sub.), Intelligence, Hospitals and medicines (doctors, nurses, manufact.),Revalidation center,  Military Academy, less work for the Undertakers, or Constructors to rebuild bombed cities,...

On the other hand, all those Billions saved from the Warfare could be spent for Welfare... 

Imagine.....

Healing fever. Don't block all fevers...!!

The body starts a fever asa an aggressive invader sickens the system. Now that's a good thing,  'cos most of these bacteria and viruses love to work at body temperature which is 37C. A two or three degree increase up to 40C will get rid of most of them and cure the disease in a couple a days. Over 40C might damage the braincells and other vital organs. 

So it's not always the right choice to take a painkiller or suppressor. Same goes for alternative treatments like acupuncture/pressure.

It's a good thing to prevent yourself from getting ill to make a healthy choice of food and vitamins. Sports will only add to your well feeling. But IF you get sick one way or the other, give your body the chance to fight the infiltration itself and that will be done by a temperature raise...!  Drink, but don't eat (or smoke herbs) anything for the next 18 hrs.  It's good to vomit and 'shit' it out, that'll clean the digestive system from top to bottom...!

Most common colds/coughs will be gone within that period. It's time to take action when the fever doesn't cure within 2 days...see:

The healing power of : Devil's claw.

Devil's claw has my attention.  It's available as a root, an ointment/gel, creme and pills.

It has been used to treat pain, liver and kidney problems, fever, and malaria. It has also been used in topical ointments to heal sores, boils, and other skin problems. Devil' s claw was introduced to Europe in the early 1900s, where the dried roots have been used to restore appetite, relieve heartburn, and reduce pain and inflammation. Today, devil's claw is used to fight inflammation or relieve pain in arthritis, headache, and low back pain. Animal and test tube studies suggest that devil' s claw can help fight inflammation, and it is used widely in Germany and France.

Parsley has many health benefits and has been used as a cure for many ailments. It contains more vitamin C than any other standard culinary vegetable, approximately three times as much as oranges and about the same as blackcurrants. The iron content is exceptional (twice as much as spinach) and the plant is a good source of manganese, calcium and potassium. It also contains flavonoids that act as antioxidants.
Parsley is also rich in vitamin A, well-known for its effects on vision, plus can mitigate risks of atherosclerosis and diabetes. 

Raw parsley: 
..cleanses the blood,
..dissolves sticky deposits in veins,
..maintains elasticity of blood vessels,
..facilitates removal of moderately sized kidney and gallstones,
..treats deafness and ear infections,
..and benefits the sexual system.
..Chewing parsley prevents bad breath!
..It's also good as a  remedy for bruises: crush up some parsley leaves and apply  to the affected area.

..Good for the heart. The folic acid in parsley is a critical nutrient in cardiovascular health. Specifically, folic acid helps convert potentially dangerous homocysteine into harmless molecules, a process that protects blood vessels and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.

..Parsley contains volatile oils that have been found to inhibit tumor formation in animal studies, particularly those in the lungs. The oils are not only cancer-fighting, they're also known to neutralize carcinogens including those found in cigarette smoke and charcoal grill smoke. 

..Parsley also contains folic acid, which has been found to help prevent colon and cervical cancers.
