Zazen in the ER (for our son)

Monday July 6, 2009


NOTE FROM JUNDO: THANK YOU TO ALL THE FOLKS WHO WROTE. LEON IS DOING FINE TODAY. AMAZING HOW FAST KIDS CAN RECOVER SOMETIMES.


Spent the evening in the emergency room for our son ... sudden 40C/104F fever ...



He's ok now it seems ... but, man, it was a rough night ...



Pardon if the talk is a little sleepy tonight ... my wife and I are bushed!




(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)

very sorry about your son.

a fever as high as 104 can be reasonably dangerous.not always, but sometimes.

even if he has a predisposition for spiking high with fever, there might be a few things that you can do to prevent it in the future. Simple things, like a few drops of some herbal medicine in his juice??

maybe a Holistic MD could find some things that the regular doctors missed??


The book "Prescription for Nutritonal Healing" by Dr. James Balch and Phyllis Balch has a nice section on fever. Usually can pick up a used copy on Amazon for a few dollars plus shipping.
