BEST REMEDY FOR FEVER: EGG WHITES
12/13/05: Ani (anisyab[at]yahoo.com) from Ontario, Canada writes, "Hi! I love your site and find it very useful. Thought I'd share something and you can post it if you see fit.

Egg Whites:

By far the best method to lower a high temperature within MINUTES! When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I had acquired a fever so high that I started to hallucinate. My mother was in a panic, she feared brain damage if something didn't lower the fever and FAST. My grandma told her about an old-wives' remedy.

Soak 2 cloths or hankerchiefs in egg whites and put on the soles of the feet (cover with socks). The egg whites instantaneously start to draw the temperature DOWN from the brain (where it is dangerous) to the feet (where it can do no damage). After that incident my mom used this method successfully every time I had high temp. If no eggs are on hand, chopped onion or chopped potato can be applied to feet instead, although egg whites are the fastest method.

The egg whites are also a miracle cure for minor and more severe burns. Soak or coat affected area in egg white. While the egg white is still wet you will feel no pain from the burn. As soon as it dries up the pain comes back so reapplication is necessary. This also prevents scarring from the burn."

01/04/2006: Ani (anisyab[at]yahoo.com) from Ontario, Canada writes,'"I checked with my mom and there is a small revision if using the chopped onion alternative: the onion should be mixed with vinegar. The potato is fine on its own."

1/11/2006: Ani (anisyab[at]yahoo.com) from Ontario, Canada writes, "I have NO idea why the egg white remedy is not more commonly known. In fact, I did a google search and aside from my post on Earth Clinic, found only one website mentioning it as a remedy for burns (for which it is in fact as effective as for lowering temps). It is a fail-safe, non-invasive, purely natural technique that works faster than any drug. I encourage everyone to try this method first, especially when young children are in question and speed is important. Glad you gave it a try Cathy."

2/11/2007: (anisyab[at]yahoo.com) from Ontario, Canada writes, "Hi, Ani again. In regards to the egg white for fever remedy I'd like to make a suggestion. I've noticed some people are writing that they use face cloths or towels to soak up the egg white and put on the feet. I doubt the remedy will be as effective if done that way. The material shouldn't be overly absorbent, my mom used old fashioned kerchiefs because they don't absorb too much themselves but are functional in that they hold on to the egg white. Seems people have had luck with using paper towels. Just make sure whatever you're using to put on the feet is completely soaked and dripping with the egg whites. You might have to use several eggs, not just one or two. When done properly this remedy is sure to work."

2/2/2008: Ani (anisyab[at]yahoo.com) from Ontario, Canada writes: "Hi there, just checked back to see how people are doing with the egg white remedy. Glad to see it's helping a lot of people!

Quick note: the egg whites are useless once they dry up, which can be rather quickly if the temp is high. The feet get very hot and the egg whites can literally COOK! You must check and REAPPLY as many times as necessary until the temp is back to normal. Don't give up after one application, it will work but the egg whites must be WET. My mom usually reapplied once or twice but you can keep going in case of a stubborn fever."

EC: THANK YOU, ANI!

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  08/24/2006: Nick from DeWitt, MI writes: "I got home from work to find my wife with a fever over 103. We had tried a bath before I wen to work, and it helped to lower it, but it came back. She had also been taking motrin, but it did not help. I google searched and found your site. I wanted to do the egg whites, but we had just finished off the eggs this morning. I saw the posting for apple cider vinegar, which we had, and tried it just as described. The last time I checked her fever had dropped, and is nearing normal. The smell is the smell, I mean, it's vinegar, but the ends justify the means. What's a little odor, when you get a lowered fever in return? Thank you so much for providing this information for free. I have added this site to our favorites list."

[YEA]  Ratazayah from Newark, NJ writes: "When I was an infant the Dr's told my mom I was going to die, due to a particularly high fever. She was told by an elderly friend to soak a wash cloth in apple cider vinegar and place one on my forehead and one on my stomach, while it smells like all get out, my mom was able to check me out of the hospital and from that day onward, it's literally been a life saver to all the children in our family with high fevers. It takes about an hour to break the fever."

EGG WHITE READER FEEDBACK

[WORKED TEMPORARILY]  04/19/2009: S.Turner from Nevada City, CA writes: "Three treatments of egg whites on the feet using 5 egg whites for the three treatments brought the temperature down from 103 to 101 and 1/2 but only temporarily....for about 2 hours."

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]  02/23/2009: Toni from Salt Lake City, UT writes: "Eggs White Cure : Last night I was searching on the web for a natural cure for my 4-year-old daughter's fever, I found this website. Asked my daugther, Anna Marie if I could do this crazy medicine on her feet. She allowed me to do it, and within 20-minutes the fever was gone. It did not come back! Thank you so much for this information, it is so valuable.

Gratefully, Toni & Anna Marie Lock"

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?"

[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."

[NAY]  02/04/2009: Jeanette from Abilene, Texas writes: "egg whites for fever: I really wanted this one to work. 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!"

My wife tried a lot of things; ice, cool bath, etc. I came home and ran to your site, few clicks later I was breaking my first egg yolk (used 2 eggs per foot in plastic bags with handkerchief, put it on his feet then put socks over the bags to keep in place) You never let me down before, and doggone it, you saved the day again. in 5 minutes it dropped to 101 then 20 min later 100. 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 (Christsavesall@msn.com) 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!!!"

11/20/2008: Wendy from Pittsburgh, Pa writes: "egg whites-my daughter has had a very high fever for a couple of days. tried the egg white remedy and it worked!!! I soaked her socks in about four egg whites so that they were really SOAKED, I then sliced two potato slices and placed them in the bottom of the egg white soaked socks and placed the socks on her feet. I then placed another dry sock over the wet socks to help with the mess. I say within 15 minutes her fever was GONE!!! she still has a cough but no fever. thank you!!now i can get some sleep it is 3:18am est"

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!!
