Hydrotherapy for Fevers - DEL

[Guest guest]

For Fevers the best thing I know of is Hot and cold showers. It usually

brings down the fever at least a degree or more. You jump in the shower and

stand under water as hot as you can stand it for 1 or 2 minutes the switch

to as cold as you can stand it and stand under it for about 2 minutes. Go

back and forth as much as you can and you're done.

For the immune system take Echinacea and or garlic.

Bad stomach flu going around

My daughter had it. She is 41. Started with high fever for 2 days, then

throwing up. She couldn't hold anything on her tummy but popsicles and

jello. Tue will be 2 weeks and today she said she is starting to feel

better. My husband started this afternoon running a high fever. It was

almost 103. We eat the NT way (except for raw

meats) and have not really been sick in a looong time. What can we do to

keep his fever down without tylenol and some of the other over-the-counter

" junk " that ppl take. My dd doesn't do NT so she used OTC stuff to keep her

fever down. Also what can I do to boost my immune system to keep from

getting it. I swear I don't want that bug!

Thanks,

Del

That sounds like it would work but most ppl with a high fever wouldn't

be able to stand in the shower and do that, I don't think. Thanks for

the tip to build the immune system.

Well, I've done it many times for myself through high fevers and mastitis

etc. For my children I get in with them and they are in a front carrier.

I've even done it my niece that way and she is 6 years old. Her fever was

105 and it went down 2 degrees and I only did it for about 7 minutes or so.

For kids, it's great because sometimes the fever is so high they can't even

sleep and this relieves it so they can sleep. Anyway, next time you have a

fever try it, I've never had a problem standing, neither has my husband or

anyone else I know of. And it helps so much that there is motivation to do

it. But you can always modify it or just forget about it

Oh, I believe you and I do plan on trying it if I get this bug (knock

on wood). I always used the " tibid water, cold rag therpy " for my kids

and this is just a kinda, sorta version of that. I could not keep my

dh from doing what HE felt best so he did the OTC stuff. I think this

is day 3 and he seems to be having his first evening with no fever but

he has a headache that won't stop. He ate a little today and was up

from bed some this afternoon. It's 5:30 and he claims he is weak and

his head hurts so he is going to bed. I have had a fever maybe 3 times

in my life and everytime it was not much of a fever but it really

knocked my feet out from under me! So It scares me to think I might

get this bug. My dd is a day care director and brings " bugs " over here

all the time that she gets but we don't. I cooked 3 chickens this

week-end and put all cut up in serving sizes. Now I am making broth. I

will be prepared...
