GINGER ROOT

[YEA] 05/23/2006: Christina from Bel Air MD writes: "You take raw ginger put it in water and bring it to a boil. Use a big pot (the one you use for spagetti). After it boils for 15 to 20 min, take it off the heat. Run water in the tub, the water should be as warm as the person can take. Before the person gets in put the ginger root water in the tub. Mix it around. The whole body should be covered. Let them sit there for as long as they can take it. Once out. Put them in long pajamas, wrap them with a blanket, put them to bed, and put the other blankets on top. They'll start to sweat out the fever. Found this on www.herbalhealer.com website when my tots had high fevers."

[YEA] 03/06/2008: Michelle from Lamora, Mexico writes: "To hold a child brings down the fever. When the babies get sick if you hold them in the position you would were you breastfeeding them it helps to bring down the fever...something to do with the energy flow. also you can lay them on a bed and place one hand under their head and one under their bottom and let them lay on your hands for a while. this works as well"

LIQUID CALCIUM

[YEA] 12/03/2006: Chris from Denver, CO writes: "My son had a relatively high fever and was lying on the couch, not doing very well at all. I had heard about calcium for fever, so I gave him some liquid calcium in apple juice and thought I'd let him sleep. 25 minutes later I went to check on him and he was outside, riding his roller up and down the sidewalk, no sign of fever! The chiropractor who first told us about calcium said that fever is actually an attempt by the body to heat up the bones and teeth so it can remove calcium and use it for the white blood cells. So taking calcium seems to make a fever unnecessary."

MMS FOR VALLEY FEVER

[YEA] 06/11/2009: Diana from La Jolla, CA writes: "I was diagnosed last year with Valley Fever, a fungus in the lungs, which quickly turned into Pneumonia. I was given antibiotics and all sorts of medication but my condition worsened and persisted for over three months. I was then introduced to MMS by my sister in law, who had used it successfully for psoriasis and I began taking the apropriate dose. Within a week, the Pneumonia was completely gone I and could breath again. For me, it was a miracle cure since Valley Fever is extremely difficult to cure!! DS"

My 4yr old son has had a fever (101-103) for 6 days now. I've been to the emergency room with no success either. His white blood cells are immature and high for normal standards. We had a u.a done and an x-ray on his lungs. None of these showed any problems. He has a cough that has become hacking and coming up mucosa. He has post nasal drip... none that is yellow or green. All clear. But coughs up whit/ yellow Flem. X-ray on the lungs showed nothing. WHAT is WRONG here?!"

OREGANO OIL ON THE FEET FOR FEVER

[YEA] 03/05/2008: Michelle from West Palm Beach, Florida writes: "I couldn't find this one so here goes. Best for kids, as it helps whatever is causing the fever, especially virus. Two drops of Oreganol Oil, on each foot rub it in and fever will break in a matter of five (5) minutes. I have four kids and have used this on ALL of them. It has absolutely always worked.
You can rub a few drops on chest for congestion or sinus trouble too. I have used two drops behind ear (rub all around area) for curing ear infections, ear pain, etc.
You can't beat it for cuts, they will never get infected! Best for little finger cuts as they are hard to keep clean! Also cures toenail fungus, especially seriously infected ones, drop several drops around nail bed, under nail, and around affected toe, with in hours, the pain is gone! Three times a day and the toe infection will be gone in a few days. My friend 6'11" male, was about to go to the ER when I told him to try this, he could barely walk! It was easy to walk in a matter of hours and completely cured in a few days! Three times a day several drops. Epsom salt soaks help to draw out infection and help pain too.
Earth Clinic is my Favorite for everything!"
Replies[WORKED TEMPORARILY] 06/08/2008: Deborah from Winston, GA replies: "NAY - 1 drop rubbed on each foot worked temporarily on my 3-1/2 year old son. Brought the fever down 1 pt within 10 minutes. But after 15 minutes the fever went back up. Tried again and had no effect. Rubbing the oil around the back and outside of the ears did help the ear pain."
[YEA] 11/20/2009: Martina from Los Angeles, Ca replies: "My husband was fighting sudden high fewer after having had an inflammation in his knee for about two weeks. I massaged the oregano oil onto his soles and around his knee, he fell asleep, sweat a lot and the fewer dropped. He is feeling much better. What a great idea this remedy is. Thank you for the hint!"

[YEA] 09/03/2010: Grace from Portland, Or writes: "Growing up, my parents always used potatoes in our socks for fevers. This past year, I had a fever of 102 that wouldn't drop after 2 days. I put potatoes in the fridge for 30 minutes, then sliced them, put them in my socks and started a movie. By the end of the movie my temperature had dropped to 99.9 and the potatoes were baked! After this treatment, the fever did not rise again. Cheap and healthy cure!"

I put slices of potato in her socks, (about 2mm thick)and left them there. I made it big enough to cover her whole foot. I started at 6pm and at 10pm she woke up sweaty as her fever broke. She was so miserable before and she slept well after that. Thank you so much for this wonderful site. I come here for everything."

[YEA] 11/21/2009: Limajean from Near Cleveland, Oh writes: "Potato as fever reducer
I sliced potatoes and put them in tight fitting socks as I put my feverish daughter to bed. She had a slight fever for most of the night. At 5:30 a.m. the fever spiked high. I removed the potato slices and put new ones in the socks. The fever instantly went down. At 8 a.m., she woke up and I removed the second slices from her socks. With each pair of potato slices, when I removed them, they were totally dry and strangely discolored (gray tinged) when I removed them. The first slices, that were in her socks the longest, continued to blacken and by 8 a.m. they were totally black. At 5:30, when I sliced the potato for the second installment, I also sliced a "control group." That control group looks like a regular sliced potato, now, 3 hours later. The second pair of potato slices that were in her socks, look very, very different from this control group. I am definitely impressed. By the way, I didn't refrigerate the slices as others have done. My naturopathic doctor told me about this remedy first. I then came to this site to see if anyone else had ever heard of it."

It wasn't helping, so I tried the potato remedy that is mentioned on this site. I am so shocked that something as simple as potatoes brought my fever down in 2 hours. I peeled a large potato, sliced it and put it in the fridge for about half hour. Then I put the sliced potatoes on my feet and covered it with socks. An hour later I took the potatoes out and put them in the fridge again for half hour. Applied them to my feet again and VOILA - fever gone!!! I repeated the whole procedure again next morning, just to make sure the fever didn't come back. Try it people, it truly is a miracle."

[YEA] 04/05/2009: Heather from New Orleans, Louisiana writes: "We have been using potatoes in my family to break fever for many years. My mother is 65 and HER mother used to do it when she was a little girl. I tell all of my friends about it b/c it does work and many people do not know about. Get an old pair of socks that fit snugly. Purchase larger sized potatoes. Cute them in half and keep them in the FRIDGE to make them cold! Then, slip them into your socks and keep them on your feet until they cooked! They will turn brown or black from drawing the fever out of your body. I have done this many times throughout my life and only once did my fever not break. I was very, very sick when that happened. But, 95% of the time will work for you. You can even stick the used potatoes in a bag back into the fridge to get cold again...then reapply to the feet within a half hour or so. Please try this...it's been in my family for two generations and there is a reason why."

I came to Earth Clinic to find a natural remedy as we don't take any over the counter or prescription medications in our family.

I sliced some potatoes, placed them on the bottom of my daughter's feet and wrapped her feet in towels. Within an hour her temp was down to 99. Another success story for us! Thanks so much to Earth Clinic for helping!"

Nothing was really bringing it down and my friend googled and found this website - since I had no egg whites, I opted for potato slices that I kept on my feet with socks.
Sure, I felt a little ridiculous and was reasonably sure that my fever had driven me to desperation and/or madness, but within two hours I was down to 99 degrees. So, there you have it, potatoes for fevers."

I read some of the responses on how to reduce a fever and I remembered my grandma using POTATOES. I sliced potatoes long ways and placed them on the soles of my husbands feet then put socks on. Placed some on his chest (without a shirt) and covered with a towel. I placed a cool wash cloth with some rubbing alcohol on his forehead and within the firt 30 mins, his fever was going down. After an hour it was below 100.Potatoes work well for reducing a fever."

[YEA] 08/30/2007: Nicole from Phoenix, AZ writes: "My 4 year old son woke up with a HIGH fever, but otherwise was fine. I worried after pain relievers were not bringing it down. I went on the internet and typed in break fever and this site came up. I didn't have eggs so I couldn't use the egg white remedy, but I did have onions, ACV, and potatoes. I got socks and placed potatoes and chopped onion with a hint of garlic and placed them on his feet--he didn't like it. Then I got a washcloth soaked in ACV and placed it on his forehead. I checked his temperature every 15 minutes from 3am-6am. it went down from 102.7, droping .1 degrees to 1 degree at times. I am a believer in this and will now try this again. There is something to be said about folk remedies."

ROLLING AN EGG

[YEA] 01/16/2006: Nancy from Lake Zurich, IL writes: "One remedy for fevers is taking a egg (still intact, in its shell) and rubbing the whole egg all over the body. It will absorb the heat in the body and when you are done, the egg will be hard boiled. This was passed down from a family friend and it really works. Just be careful with the egg as you have to constantly roll it over the person."

Use Regular rubbing alcohol. Rub over chest. 70% rubbing alcohol should work just fine. I've tried this on my 11 year old daughter and it brought her tempature down and kept it down! This is what they used in the good old days! It works!"

SIDE EFFECTS

[YEA] 09/08/2007: Teri from Owensboro, KY writes: "Are you supposed to warm the egg whites before applying to soles of feet? My niece had a fever of 103.5. She has epilepsy and her doctor has told my sister that if her fever gets above 101 and she can't get it down, she needs to take her to the hospital because it could cause her to have seizures. I was searching and found this website saying that egg whites on soles of feet was the fastest way to bring a fever down and I told my sister about it. She said she was going to try it and about 5 minutes later, she said as soon as she put the cloth soaked in egg whites on her feet, she began to have a seizure. I have been reading that it is no longer suggested that you put a child in cold water to bring down a fever because it could shock their body & actually cause their fever to spike so I was just wondering if the people who say the egg white remedy works, warmed them before apply to feet."

[YEA] 03/31/2007: Nikolay from Ottawa, Canada writes: "I read on this site about applying egg whites to the feet in case of fever and tried it with my 7 month old daughter. Minutes after I did this she started to get a serious rash starting from her feet and legs and going ALL over her body including her face. I removed the egg whites and washed her feet. Her rash improved within half an hour and was almost gone within two or three hours. Egg whites are high risk for a food allergy, but apperantly they can also be dangerous if you apply them to skin! So, I would urge anyone who tries this to be very very careful -- after all you don't want to end up with BOTH fever and a severe allergic reaction."

TURMERIC
04/20/2011: Kelly from Cinti, Ohio writes: "I got caught in a cold thunderstorm the other night and got chilled. Had to wait a couple of hours in wet clothes until I could go home. I didn't feel a fever till the next day. I remembered that turmeric was good for infections so I made up some golden milk from a few of the recipes here on EC:
cup of boiled milk
level teaspoon of turmeric ( used to treat MRSA, anti-inflammatory etc.)
couple pinches of cayenne (vitamin C)
pinch of cracked pepper (works with cayenne)
1/2 tsp. Honey
1/2 tsp. Bsm (b vitamins)
fever was gone in 30 min. May need more than one dose. Don't forget to stir in between sips as the turmeric will sink to the bottom. Also lactose intolerant can use juice, just put a tsp. of oil ( coconut, olive etc. ) as turmeric is fat soluble. God Bless!"
