Dear Ras Nate,
"a man who is suffering from a virus and runs a fever slightly higher than 40 °C.This is a life threatening situation yet taking Ibuprofen would reduce the fever and remove the risk."
My dad, who does not live like I, once had a raging fever like this last summer, in July. I gave him a decoction of yarrow and tulsi (holy basil) (which I always have in stock for such things instead of ibuprofen), and sponged down his body. Made sure that he drank plenty. I ventilated the room as much as possible and turned on the fan.
Worked wonders, from what he said better than any pill. Just saying that even for life threatening ilnesses herbs can come to the rescue. Who is to say that pills are more effective than some herbs?
----------------------------------------------------
But, having said this I know what you are getting at, a situation where there is not a herb on hand... or there is not one known.
Although I don't agree with you about using the pills in very bad situations, I know what you meant with this example, just thought I would share an effective treatment for the future...
Jethro Kloss, author of Back to eden also recommends high enemas to reduce fevers. I did all of his other reccomendations but not this with my Dad... would have been a bit too personal for me!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------
But, I know what you meant by the example, and probably you would come back with another example where there is not a herb.
All the best,
Joe
