[YEA] 10/23/2009: Tonya from Clarkson, Ky writes: "Egg whites for fever
My daughter has been running a 102 degree fever for the last two days. After reading the remedy for using egg whites for fever to my fiance he laughed hysterically. Asking how that was going to ever work, I did it just as instructed and showed him. He still laughed, probably even harder than before. Within 15 minutes I checked her temperature again and it had dropped a degree within the first 15 and 2 degrees within 30 minutes. I was a believer and he stopped laughing."

He came to me in the afternoon with a low grade temperature. I put the egg whites on rags and tied them to his feet and the fever broke in less than 15 minutes. He is resting peacefully."

[YEA] 07/11/2009: Elizabeth from Indianapolis, Indiana writes: "My 16 month old son has been battling some sort of respiratory ailment with lots of coughing & wheezing & a fever around 102 degrees. He was so miserable last night that I got on your site to see what other people have used. We have our own chickens so I took a couple of XXL eggs & gave the egg whites a try. I used one egg white per foot two times before bed last night & his fever is gone this morning. I soaked 2 paper towels in the whites & then dropped it into a pair of his big brother's socks & then put them on his feet. He sure howled at first at the cold but then it didn't bother him. It did bother me when he was thrashing all over the bed & soaking everything with the whites which were leaking through the socks! Time to wash the sheets & jammies! Thanks EC!"

[YEA] 07/07/2009: Mary from Burbank, CA writes: "Hello, first of all I wanted to say GOD BLESS whoever came up with this remedy and this site for the advice. My one and a half year old daughter had a seizure about a week ago because of her fever and was diagnosed with a throat infection. When we came home she was very sick that night with fever of 104, i would put her in the tub and her fever would go down but about 30 minutes later it would go up again. Then, I started researching and found your site and THANK GOD i did because it saved her life. I followed the directions and her fever went from 104 to 99.4 in a matter of 30 minutes, and when I left it on all night, she never once had a fever!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried it on myself too because I now have strep-throat, and I also had a fever of 104 and it worked wonders. BEST REMEDY EVER!"
Replies[YEA] 06/27/2011: Vanz from Harlingen, Tx replies: "We woke up and the fever had spiked to 103.4, immediately I logged on to do a search for a natural remedy that would lower fever. I encountered the post on the egg whites, so I decided anything was worth giving it a try. In three to four minutes the temperature dropped to 99... And his whole body went back to normal. I also did an egg rubbing, which is something my grandma always did. I followed it with a prayer...... And surely he is fast asleep and BETTER... I will repost tommorrow see how he continues..."

[YEA] 06/16/2009: SassySarah from Los Angeles, California writes: "Last winter I had a burning fever and felt awful. I was also nursing a 4 month old baby so being out of it was horrible. I needed to break the fever and start healing. I read on the site to put egg whites on my feet. My dear husband wrapped my feet in egg white clothes, wrapped them in plastic bags and watched the clock for 15 minutes. We joked that the coldness of the whites is probably why the fever breaks because I started shivering. I piled blankets on, careful not to get egg on them. Finally, he took them off, but we didn't notice a big change. But later, my fever broke and I started feeling better the next day. So, I say try the egg whites."

[YEA] 03/24/2009: Elaine Garcia from Chicago, IL USA writes: "Egg Whites For Fever...a sure win!!
I have been fighting a low grade fever for 5 days. Today it actually went up to 100.4. I searched on earth clinic and found the egg white remedy. It did not work at first for me. I went to bed with a fever, aches and chills. I woke up at one a.m. and decided to try it again. The first time, I soaked papaer towels in the egg whites and put baggies over them...did not work. This time, I read a diffferent way someone got it to work. I put on loose socks and poured half the whites of one egg in one sock and the other half in the other sock. I put another sock over that one. I waited. At first, nothing. Then, I poured more egg white in each sock. The key is to be patient. After 40 minutes my fever was down from 100.4 to 99.5. Then 30 mintues later, it went down to 98.7.
I started to feel better. I felt hungry as I had not eaten much all day. I felt cool and relaxed, the aches and pains were leaving. I am going to leave the egg white socks on for another half hour to be sure it stays down. The key for me was keeping the sock soaked in egg whites; I kept adding egg white as needed.It is nice to feel like I am on my way to recovery. I feel exhausted and I am going to get some sleep. I will apply the egg whites again tomorrow, just to be sure. Thanks Earth Clinc...again!"

[NAY] 03/19/2009: Kira from Saratoga, NY writes: "Unfortunately the egg whites did not work in bringing down my husband's fever. He seemed a little cooler but fever came right back (1/2 an hour later). I soaked paper towel in egg whites and put on the bottom of his feet. I put large plastic gallon size bags around his feet to keep egg whites off blankets. I kept it there for 15 minutes-20 minutes. I think it is always safe to have some store bought fever reducer on hand."

[YEA] 02/19/2009: Shawn from Appleton, WI writes: "WITH GREAT SKEPTICISM I TRIED THE EGG WHITE ROUTINE, AND LEFT MY FEET IN BAGGIES FOR 45 MINUTES. THE FEVER DID GO DOWN, AND TONIGHT ITS GONE. BUT IT GOT ME THINKING, WON'T ANYTHING COLD AROUND THE FEET DO THE SAME THING? OR SOAKING FEET IN A COLD WATER WASH BASIN OR TUB? SEEMS LIKE ITS THE COOLING PROCESS... VERSUS SOME MAGIC OF EGG WHITES?"
Replies04/08/2011: London from Sandusky, Ohio replies: "Yes, actually it is. Its def the cooling mechanism. I read in a book about the Australian outback about how the native peoples would bury their feet in cold (dirt) or earth to get their fevers down. Ive also wrapped my daughters feet in icy water washcloths and wrapped it in a towel and left it and that has taken her fever down before."

[YEA] 02/06/2009: CH from PC, FL USA writes: "My husband had a very high fever, he was trembling with fever. I took the (organic) egg whits and i put some saran rap down, I put a hankershift and put about two egg whites in each one (one for each foot. I then had my husband hold his foot down over a pay and it placed the hankershift with the egg whites against the bottom of his foot and the the saran wrap over that so that it would not drip out and then a sock on his foot over that. (both feet) In about 10 minutes his fever was totally gone and never came back. I think the woman who the egg whites did not work for was not doing it properly."

My 2 year old son had a high fever so I used the egg whites on his feet, of course they were spilling around everywhere so I wrapped his feet with handkerchiefs. Then put socks over it He looked ridiculous and uncomfortable, it was messy and his fever kept going up. I tried it all day long, mostly his fever just stayed the same or went up. Didn't work for us."

[YEA] 12/20/2008: Barbara from Dallas, United States writes: "I tried the egg white remedy because my 4 1/2 year ols son had been having a high temp for the past 4 days ranging from 100 to 103.7!! we took him to doc they said continue taking tylenol/motrin and that wasnt seeming to bring his temp down at all!! he had also been giving antibiotics as well and he still has temp/did not go down ! we were told he should have viral bronchitis, but with all the medication his temp should have went down by now! especially since i had been giving him tylenol/motrin every 4 hours! So tonight i tried the remedy. I soaked two paper towels in two egg whites and wrapped around his feet and placed socks over them. in about 30 min took his temp and it went down from 103.00 to 100.3! I was impressed. now i will just have to see if it will go down some more or go back up!! on all the comments no one ever said if the temp ever came back up! So Im gonna check him again in a few hours and if its back up i will re-do the remedy again. Thanks for this great remedy! i will def pass it on!"
Replies12/23/2008: Kira from Saratoga, NY replies: "I was getting fevers too but I don't keep eggs at home. I heard one could use potatoes or onions as well. I put an icepack under my feet. I kept my socks on so it wouldn't be too cold. Fever broke. Hope it helps others when no egg whites or such are around."

My only problem was I left it too long (2hrs) and he has sensitive skin, so he broke out a little, no prob it soon went away, and he finally went to sleep!! (and so did I!! Amen"

[YEA] 11/26/2008: Nichole from Stanton, CA writes: "Well I just want to say thanks sooo much for this remedy!!! I picked my nephew up for a visit this evening and found out he had a high fever when I picked him up. I found this site a few days ago and have been using Coconut oil to treat hypothyroidism which also caused a large nodule to form on my husbands neck... the coconut oil has been AMAZING! He has had anxiety attacks a lot lately but when he was feeling anxious I had him take some and within ten minutes he felt energetic and the anxiousness went away! I started using it myself and notice that I feel better both physically as I have more energy and mentally as I have this wonderful mental clarity. I've started giving it to my son as well and put it on some toast instead of butter or margarine and then added some jam.. tastes great and he cant tell the difference! Also a quick recipe to get kids to take ACV is to add a couple tablespoons to a bag of sliced apples, allow to sit for at least a day and the kids gobble them up!
K back to the fever... My nephews fever was at 102.3 when I looked up on this site what to use, he was feeling horrible with a really bad ache in his leg and his skin was so sensitive he didnt want us touching him. I found the egg white remedy and sent my mom to get four egg whites from downstairs, had him put on socks and soaked them in the eggwhites then bagged his feet so he could lay in bed. After an hour his fever just barely dropped so I got back on wondering what I did wrong... the socks had absorbed all the eggwhites so I got four more eggwhites and poured those into the baggies and this time put a second pair of socks over the bags to keep the egg whites on his feet. His fever started dropping in about 20 min to (99.4) then he got up and started playing with his cousin... so far its been about 45 min since adding the extra egg whites and he is feeling lots better, I cant account for the temp though because he's been running around playing lol. Right now its 101 but I think its cause hes not laying down and resting... I will post back later as to how long it took for his fever to break, I know it hasnt yet since he isnt sweating."

I had been giving him ibuprofen and since his white blood count was fine they suggested I continue to do that and watch him. His temp started to go back up after coming down a little with the Motrin so I tried the egg remedy.I dipped some paper towels in egg whites and wrapped his feet and then used plastic bags and put socks over that. WOW!!! I am amazed and very thankful. He went from being listless on the couch to playing in about 45 mins. I took his temp a few mins ago and it went from 103.8 to 102. I LOVE this site!!!! Thanks!!!"

I made my son lay in bed and put a bath towel underneath his legs. I soaked paper towel in the egg whites and then put ziploc baggies over each foot followed by a pair of socks- then, i covered his feet with the bath towel
I left the "potion" on for about 20 minutes or so! I checked his feet after about 10 minutes, and could feel tremendous heat!!! I waited, and repeated after about another 30 minutes!
After the second application of the "potion" he had instant energy and was more like his happy fun self!
THANK YOU!! I must add, he thought it was funny that his Mom was putting eggs on his feet, I explained what ancient medicine is, and that this particular method came from Chinese ( as I read on the site) and he asked if it was "Buddha's recipe!!" :))))
Thank you soo much!!
Annie in Grand Rapids, MI"

[YEA] 08/21/2008: Helen from Southport, Australia writes: "This is another way of applying egg white for reducing fever that I learnt from my Chinese Grandma. Hard boil the egg and remove the egg yolk. Put the hard boiled egg white including the shell in a handkerchief. Twist the content into a ball and massage body from head to toe. Brings the temp down instantaneously. My Grandma would also insert a silver ring in the egg white content when massaging. Silver would change to different colours when rubbed on different patients. This was used to diagnose the cause of the fever and then she would use (ying/yang) herbal treatment for the illness. Sadly, I am unable to read the silver ring. My children always ask for an egg massage when they have high temperature and it always does the trick.

OTC medicines are doing nothing to bring down the fever. Didn't work. In fact, his fever went up slightly. He'll probably never take my advice again! Oh well...it was worth a shot. Not everything works on everybody I guess."

I searched on Earth Clinic and found the Egg Whites for the fever remedy and kept it in my mind to try. Well my daughter woke up with a 103 fever and I gave her the mixed dose of Tylenol and Motrin as my doctor had instructed. After 45 minutes, the fever had gone UP to 105! I began to panic and remembered the Egg Whites. I placed 2 Egg Whites in a bowl and soaked 2 paper towels in it. I wrapped my daughter's feet with the soaked paper towels, put little zip lock baggies on her feet with a rubber band at the top to hold them in place, and put her socks on her feet and waited. 30 minutes later her fever was down to 102. 1 hour after having started, her fever BROKE and was down at 99. I took the paper towels off her feet and they were HOT. I washed her feet and that was the END of her fevers after over a week of struggling! I've told all my friends! THANK YOU! "

I put the egg whites on her feet in plastic bags, which she insisted on keeping open rather than tightly wrapped. Within 20 minutes her temp was 38.3, and in 30 minutes it was 38.0. She started to feel much more lively, much to my relief. The fever didn't break, so I don't know, should you repeat this treatment a few times? Anyway, so far so good. I'm thankful to see some improvement anyway."
