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.
