In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel challenges conventional thinking about childhood fevers. He explains that fevers are not enemies to be fought but intelligent healing processes orchestrated by a child's brain and nervous system. Dr. Ebel provides a neurological perspective on fevers, describing how they help fight infections, activate the immune system, and build long-term immune resilience. He offers practical guidance for parents on when to let a fever run its course versus when to seek medical intervention, along with natural strategies to support a child through a fever without suppressing the body's healing process.
