Fever kills.

     Following Priessnetz Father of Hydrotherapy, Kneipp with its cold baths that awaken the thermal reaction of the skin, produces artificial fever on it, thus directly refreshes and decongests also the feverish entrails in all patients.

     With his cold, low-belly baths, Kuhne cools the inside of the abdominal cavity and indirectly restores the normal heat of the skin.

     Similar results are achieved with just mud plasters and with steam and sun baths in combinations with cold water applications. While Kuhne went to fight the internal fever and Kneipp to make the cold and inactive skin reaction  in every patient the Thermal Doctrine teaches to fight together the internal fever and the cold outside of the body, refreshing the inside of the belly and awakening the natural heat of the skin.

     What is meant by fever?

     Fever is the phenomenon of inflammatory and congestive nature. It is caused by nervous and circulatory reaction when nerves are irritated or subjected to work greater than normal. Febrile heat is the effect of the nervous and circulatory reaction.

     The disease is not the work of the devil or curses, or the microbe, but it in all cases, functional disorder by gastrointestinal fever, as in variable degree is revealed by the iris of the eyes of every patient and is generally confirmed by his pulse. Corrupting the food this fever weakens and kills, the life by malnutrition and progressive intoxication of its victims. At last also the internal fever weakens the functions of the skin, also considered as the third kidney and third lung, because it produces anemia, that is to say, deficient blood circulation in this organ as the congestion of the bowels increases.

     It is as well as the internal fever alters the health and kills the life, incapacitating the body to be nourished and to detoxify normally.

     Fever and not microbe is, is therefore the enemy that needs to be fought in every sick person and in every ailment. No wonder the ancient books of medicine attributed the death of their characters to fever. It is common to find in them this phrase: "The fever appeared and died". In reality he dies of "Fever" and not of infections.

     "Good digestions" and not "injections" is a healing resource that will triumph in every ailment. Healthy digestion, above all, requires normal temperature in the digestive system.

     The doctrine of the thermal equilibrium of Manuel Lezaeta as a basis for the health of the body for the first time is formulated in the history of medicine as a fundamental principle that gives definitive unity to all natural healing systems.

     From now on we have Natural Medicine as a unique and complete science that comes to establish the true concept of "disease". Also the examination of the iris of the eyes, allows to direct the criterion of the doctor and obtain an exact investigation of the needs that the sick organism needs to satisfy.

    Finally this doctrine will lead the doctor to choose the appropriate procedures in each case to place the patient in a position to normalize their digestive and eliminative functions by restoring the thermal balance of their body.

     The human being is the only being of the Creation that unbalances the temperatures of his body by effacing his skin with dresses and feverish his entrails with the efforts to which he submits his digestive apparatus to elaborate inadequate food.

     Good Healh to All.
