Wow, I had no idea. Aside from a case of exceptionally high temperature, I don't really understand the compulsion of trying to drug a fever out of existence.

Way near the top... "none showed regression unless fever had occurred..."

What if we were to better teach parents about fever and fever management?

Volume 1 of the first edition of "textbook of natural medicine" (a bedrock book for naturopaths, generally) has a chapter on fever and fever management plus a separate chapter on vaccinosis. Subsequent editions lack those chapters. So clearly we also need to teach the young naturopaths about these topics. If NDs don't know, how do we expect MDs to know?
