[YEA] 02/27/2007: Tracy from Kenilworth, NJ writes: "I have to admit, I was really skeptical about this. When I came home today, my 10 year old son had a temperature of 101.9. I looked online and saw this remedy. I talked my son into letting me do it and after an hour, his temperature went down to 99.9. After 2 hours, it was at 98.1!!!! This truly does work!!!!!!!"

I tried the egg whites on the feet to bring down a high fever and it worked. My husband does not belive me, but know after almost 48 hours of a high fever my daughter is back down to normal. Thank you for the information -- it was so helpful."

[NAY] 02/18/2007: Paul from West Allis, WI writes: "No Significant Improvement after 50 minutes. After treating my girlfriends illness for a few days with homemade chicken soup, she recovered, but now I have a 100.4 degree fever. I have been using cold compresses for 40 min. I stayed up all night and I figured it was time to find an online remedy. I cracked two eggs, yolk and white, into two separate plastic grocery bags and tied them around my feet; then putting on my socks at 8:23 AM I waited. Now it is 8:33 and my temperature is 100.4;no change. Moving my feet and toes should circulate the eggs and allow the cooler part of the egg to mix with the warmer parts and average out the temperature so the temperature of the egg actually touching my feet is lower. A greater differnece in temperature between the eggs and the feet will produce a faster temperature drop between the eggs and the feet. This should lower the fever more by drawing the heat away from the head reapidly. Now it is 8:43 AM and my temperature is 100.0. After 20 minutes my temperature dropped 0.4 degrees. My girlfriend is pushing at all sorts of typical remedies like placing a bag of frozen vegetables on my belly and taking a couple of aspirin. Now at 8:53 my temperature is 100.2. After 30 minutes my temperature is down 0.2 degrees. At 9:03 AM my temperature is 100.0 degrees. After forty minutes my temperature is down 0.4 degrees. At 9:13 my temperature is 100.2 degrees. There has been no significant change in my temperature."

[YEA] 02/17/2007: Bridget from A-Town, Texas writes: "My 5 year old has had a fever off and on for the past 2 days, tonight at about 11:00 it topped out at 103.4, I gave her motrin, a cool bath, made my poor baby basically freezer her hiney off like they do at the hospital,and nothing was working, after doing all of the above, the lowest it had gotten down to was 102.6, so I got online and came across this site, I had never heard of this rememdy before, everthying else I came across, I had already done, or it just sounded a little to "out there" to try. I read what this site had to say, read the feedback, and thought, "what the hey, the only thing I go to lose is my daughters fever". By 1:08 a.m. her tempature was 102.8, it had started to rise again, I had put the egg soaked paper towels on her feet, a bag over each and then her socks by 1:11 a.m.. By 1:30 I checked her tempature again and it had gone down to 99.8, talk about relief, it is now 1:48, and I just checked her tempature again, I am glad to say that it 98.8, in a matter of minutes her fever that I had been battleing for 2 days now, was gone, and she's sleeping nicely. Thank you so much..."

[YEA] 02/17/2007: Maiju from Bologna, ITALY writes: "My Italian boyfriend gets really high fevers once a year. He doesn't take medicine so when he hit 103.5 I found this great remedy!He was dubious("it will smell!")but gave in- and his fever dropped in about 30 minutes! Great remedy, I've been telling everyone about it-Italians seem to be prone to fevers (even the slightest ones)-so I think it will be a popular remedy here soon!"

[YEA] 02/17/2007: Ben from Tampla, FL writes: "Wow, I had been fighting an intense fever of 103.4F for 3 days I never get sick I am a personal trainer so eating and exercising right helps me dodge a lot of bullets. Anyway I had tried everything to break this fever; cold showers, Nyquil, Dayquil, Ib prophen. None seemed to work they just took the edge off. Anyway, last night was the last straw. I was literally sick and tired of this fever so I tried wrapping my feet in eggs and covering in 2 layers of socks. I couldnt bother to sepparate the whites, hehe. This morning 98.9 degrees. Thanks Earth Clinic I am on the road back to being myself again."

[YEA] 02/16/2007: C from PDL, USA writes: "FEVER: I tried the egg white trick for fever, it worked great, got home last night from work my husband was burning up with a fever, he had the central heat on so high I had to put short sleeves on, plus he had an electric floor heater blowing on him, and he had three blankets on him and he was still shaking from the fever being so high, his stomach was hurting also, I fixed him some warm water with lemon juice ACV & Baking Soda to sip on while I fixed the egg whites up. I then put the organic egg whites on a handkerchief, put on the bottom of his feet, covered with a plastic bag and then put socks on his feet, I set a timer for thirty minutes, to see if it really worked that fast. In 15 minutes he was sleeping like a baby and snoring, in 30 minutes I checked his fever and it was gone and he was still asleep, I woke him up in another hour and ask him how he felt, he said he didn't have anymore fever but his stomach was still hurting. Woke up this morning still no fever, the fever never came back."

[YEA] 02/11/2007: Izi from Voorhees, NJ writes: "My husband is here for his first winter from Nigeria. He is used to getting malaria related fevers so when this one hit at 3 a.m. last night he was confused and scared...so was I, even though I knew he was experiencing flu symptoms. I used cold compress and gave tylenol but it continued to climb. I wanted to stop it before it went too high. When I jumped on your sight, it was 101.7. I tried the egg white remedy by soaking paper towels in 3 egg whites and placing them on the bottom of his feet. I then covered them with plastic store bags and put his socks on...through as much protest as he could muster. After 15 minutes, I checked his temp again and it was 101.8. I quietly prayed and trusted that this remedy was God's wisdom and would work. I asked if he was still cold he said no and that his hands and feet were hot. His fever broke soon after and he began to sweat. After an hour it was down to 101.1 and this morning it was 99.5. Thanks, I will share this with all!!!"
EC: Fantastic news, thank you for sharing! We are excited that this remedy will cure a malaria fever. Yahoo!

[YEA] 02/09/2007: Vanessa from San Francisco, CA writes: "My little brother woke up this morning with a fever of 102. We gave him motrin and he took a short hour nap. he woke up with a 104.1 fever! He was disoriented and not his happy-go-looney self. I googled "how to break fever" and came to your site. Egg whites sounded like an old wives tale, but i had nothing to lose. So, i soaked two paper towels in four egg whites and wrapped his feet in plastic wrap. i then put my socks on him. i checked his temp 15 mins later and it dropped to 102.3. Weird remedy, but IT WORKS! THANK YOU!!!!!"

[YEA] 02/04/2007: Diane from Poplar Bluff, MS writes: "I am trying the egg white remedy to bring down high fever. My 9 year old son has had a low grade fever for 2 days witha cough. But tonight (Feb 4th) about 8 pm his fever was 103.1. So I went online to get info on how to break a high fever. I saw the remedy for egg whites. I thought it wont hurt to try it, because the lukewarm bath didnt help. So I soaked the cloths in egg whites put them on his soles and put socks on him. After about 30 mins I checked his fever & it has gone down to 101.6. I will try this before trying anything else first. Thanks for the info, very much appreciated."

What a relief :)."

I actually knew about this since I was little, my family is all about natural remedies, but now, as I'm sitting in bed with eggwhites in my socks I am contemplating: what is it exactly in the eggwhite (potato, onion or vinegar) that does the trick? Anyone?"

[YEA] 01/13/2007: Nancy from Kenmore, WA writes: "Desperate as my fever went higher than in many years (102.6), I googled "how to break a fever", and read the egg whites remedy and testimonials. I used 3 egg whites for 2 size 8 feet, whipped them a bit to blend them, sat down over a big plastic bag on the floor, dipped washcloths in the egg whites, put one on each foot, put a small plastic bag on each foot, tied a long sock around my ankle, and went to bed. My temp dropped from the 102.6 to 99 by morning. I was able to walk with the baggies on my feet; the washcloths were squishy, but very effective. Thank you for the tip and for this site."

[NAY] 12/29/2006: Shari from Vermont writes: "I was desperate to try something natural, but our daughter is very sensitive and afraid so our usual remedies (garlic paste on feet, garlic oil rub on chest, frozen towel on neck treatment) weren't practical for her. It took me almost an hour to convince her to try it, we soaked white clothes in the egg whites, wrapped her feet and put on big socks over them. Then we waited an hour and absolutely nothing happened. I was afraid she would start getting more upset at that point and also that the fever would get higher than 104, so we stopped."

[NAY] 12/19/2006: Iris from Austin, TX writes: "I tried the egg whites remedy on my 5 year old who's had his roller coaster fever (varies from 100-103F) for 5 days now. I drenched the egg whites onto paper towels and wrapped them on his feet and then added socks for about 30 minutes. Other than the fact that it was cold and slimy, it did nothing to lower his fever. I am glad I found this website though, as I then tried the apple cider vinegar method (remedy #3), and that one worked!!! I also gave him 1 teaspoon of it mixed with 1 tsp of honey. In less than 5 minutes, all the gunk that had made him congested came oozing out! It was the strangest thing to witness (not to mention a bit gross) but he was very happy that he could breathe through his nose again! We did it one more time and he was able to cough up and expel a lot of the stuff that was in him. Hopefully this will be the turning point and will get rid of the flu faster!! Thanks for this website!"

[YEA] 12/18/2006: Jenna from Colbert, GA writes: "I used rags soaked in egg whites on feet to reduce fever.. My son has had a fever for 7 days. His fever has ranged from 100.5 to 104.2 He has been in the hospital 1 day to receive IV fluids for dehydration and received further testing...all of which were negative. He had only slightly elevated white blood cell count (16,000). I've been alternating acetominaphen with ibuprofen. I've also used lukewarm baths when the fever was over 103. Nothing however ever took the fever below 100.5 Today a friend found your website. She called me and asked me to try this. For some reason, I immediately said..I'll try it. My son cried and didn't want the squishy cold egg white rags on his feet, but my daughter and I worked to pull my husband's larger socks over them and I left them on 2 hrs. His fever went from 102 to 100.2 He then laid down for a nap and woke at 4pm...which is when his fever usually begins to spike. He had NO FEVER! He was even below at 96 degrees! While I realize the fever may come back, I am amazed enough to want to write and share with others...try this!"
