Chapter 1 - Get Started
IN THIS LESSON..
We get sick for a reason!
We must come to understand that an absence of symptoms does not necessarily indicate good health. Every time we get sick it is an opportunity for our body to clear out toxins and dead bacteria. It shows us that our immune system is alive and well and that it can respond to a viral or bacterial pathogen.
We get sick, we go through the symptoms, then we get well.
The body needs to complete this cycle of inflammation from beginning to end. If we interrupt it (by using over-the-counter meds such as antipyretics) we are forcing the body to store the Acute inflammation. It can develop into Chronic inflammation, which can contribute to long-term illnesses.
The 7 Steps of a Healthy Immune Response 🛡️
1️⃣ Germ Enters → Through mouth, nose, skin, or tummy.
2️⃣ Early Signs → Cranky, clingy, changes in sleep or appetite.
3️⃣ Chill → Body raises temp to fight germs.
4️⃣ Fever → Viruses = mild/moderate, bacteria = higher.
5️⃣ Antibodies → Special “keys” lock onto germs to stop them.
6️⃣ Clear Out → Rash, runny nose, or cough remove the waste.
7️⃣ Recover & Reset → Sweat, rest, and deep clean by T cells.
✨ Letting this process finish builds stronger, smarter immunity!
Don't trade short-term illness for long-term issues!
In “COLD & FLU” types of acutes, the body is working to eliminate toxins that have accumulated over the course of time - the fever, runny noses, coughs, discharges, pustules, and rashes that may arise are the result of this process.
It is important to note: we do not always need to step in, even with a Homeopathic Remedy. Sometimes letting the immune cycle run through on its own is extremely beneficial.
When the body decides it NEEDS to undergo this process, and we decide to support with remedies, they won’t override or suppress but instead will work supportively to make you more comfortable, your symptoms less severe, the duration of your experience speedier, and keep you moving through the healthy immune cycle.
