Remember when I told you the kids went out on a saturday late afternoon and came home tired late at night after eating tons of junk food? It was bread, dough nuts, pizza and pasta all in one junk food night. This Monday morning my 2nd son came down with a fever and which lasted the afternoon and until now in the evening before we sleep.
Good instincts. He wasn’t hungry the whole day and abstained from food. At lunch he just had soup. When he woke up from his afternoon nap he had a guava and some coconut juice to drink. At dinner time I managed to give him a kayomito / star apple which I believe is a super fruit.
I did notice bad instincts from my son as in the morning he kept insisting on eating a boiled / cooked egg. And when we were giving him broth and fruits he wanted white rice. I should look more into this and try to interpret his body wisdom. Maybe he doesn’t eat enough fruit. Maybe I should stuff him with more fruit so he has no rice cravings.
Anyway this evening great marketing talk from his older brother convinced him to taste the kayomito. And he loved it.
My wife and her sister thinks my son “caught” a virus or some germ from his cousin and his nannie who had a fever in that same outing. If my son’s immune system was not compromised with the monotonous processed sugars in the junk food he ate, then he would have resisted whatever germs there were. It is the terrain… Louis Pasteur was wrong.
Why was my son down with a fever? His body was processing the junk.
To help relieve my son of the junk food I gave him and his older brother 3 tablespoons of Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea around 1pm today. Around 6 to 7 pm they unloaded their stinky poops. Flour, slowing down the bowels, sticking to the intestinal walls making their innards stink.
I do think my son will recover tomorrow. I’ll have to be on my guard that the super foods I invested in today reach his tummy. I bought kayomito, native guava, coconuts with thick meat, and saba bananas. All organic, all in season, all wild. Philippine super fruits.
