Baby paracetamol asthma concern

The BBC today ran a story concerning the use of paracetamol in babies under one year old and the later probability of developing asthma. It appears that frequency of use elevates significantly the risk of later developing this alarming respiratory condition.

This is perfectly in keeping with the Naturopathic theory of suppression, which holds that suppressing the body’s natural defenses – in this case fever – leads to dis-ease moving deeper into the system, only to be expressed in a more severe form later on. So, if the baby develops a fever it means that there is something wrong. Maybe an allergy, maybe a reaction of a vaccination, maybe just sore teeth. But by dampening down the fever with paracetamol, the baby’s body is rendered unable to rid itself of the offending matter, be it bacterial, viral, environmental or otherwise. Therefore the body becomes loaded with this material, and when it is strong enough to mount another elimination reaction – most likely a fever – it will probably again be suppressed by paracetamol.

Over the years, the child’s body is weakened by repeated, frustrated healing crises with the result that more severe symptoms begin to appear. Disease in the allopathic view is nothing more than a collection of symptoms, often without specific cause (strange, I know, but that’s how they think). So a child with repeated shortness of breath and or allergic-type reactions in the nose and mouth is said to have allergic-type asthma. Or perhaps over-reactive airways. But the root cause of the problem – whatever caused the fevers in the first place – is never examined. And so the child is set up for life to suffer the indignities of being ‘asthmatic’ and using bronchio-dilating inhalers, forking money over to Big Pharma and being out of touch with their own body’s calls for help. Ta-da.
