Is low body temperature the ‘plague of the 21st century?’
Every process that goes on inside our bodies requires energy, specifically, metabolic energy. When the body does not have enough energy to function properly, each component of the body will malfunction in its own unique way. The body needs energy to keep itself warm – a low body
temperature, therefore, usually accompanies low metabolic energy. Dr. David Jernigan says “Much emphasis in conventional medicine is often placed upon feverish conditions; however, a low body temperature can be a much more sinister condition. Where a fever can be viewed as an active developmental and corrective process of the healthy body, then a low body temperature can never be viewed as a normal or healthy condition, nor is it a mechanism for a learning or developmental process in the body. “A low body temperature creates a happy home for viruses and chronic infections, and is a sign of degeneration and gradual cellular death. The problem with a low core temperature is that no effective immune response can be mounted therefore no fever is generated and infections go undetected.
“Low body temperature is the plague of the 21st century. People with low body temperature have a weak reaction to even the most ideal medicines and therapies” says Dr Jernigan.
