Egg Whites

Have an 8 y/o with strep. Ran such a high fever on Tuesday night he started hallucinating. Last night the fever started to spike again. I had tried to give him ibuprofen before bed, but he threw it right back up. I tried to wake him up and get him to drink some Tylenol. No luck, couldn't get him to take anything! Went searching on the web and found this amazing site!! Soaked to dish rags in 4 egg whites. Wrapped his feet. Made a HUGE mess.... Should of read on and saw the posts about using plastic bags... Oh well. He screamed and kicked and fussed, but I finally got him to leave them be for a bit. Added a rag soaked in ACV to his forehead for good measure. That pushed him over the edge though and he started screaming about the smell. I think in all we made it 10 minutes with the egg whites on his feet. But it woke him up enough that I got him in a nice tepid bath. Back to bed... Slept through the entire night... Woke this morning... no fever and felling 100 times better!!! I'm still is disbelief.

This remedy worked for me when my daughter had a fever of 104.5 and had already been given ibruprofen and next dose was still 3 hrs away. Mixed up those egg whites and after 10 minutes on her feet the fever had already come down 1 degree... left them on for 20 minutes and the fever was 101.5.

Dear Helen, I just heard from a Chinese friend about this method in order to heal upset stomachs and was fascinated. Do you still remember some of the knowledge of your grandma in order to bring the ying/yang into harmony? If you ever find resources about this kind of treatment I would love to hear about it. It is so simple and effective. Blessings & Thank you!

My soon to be two year old has the flu and this is the third night that she has had a temp and it started to rise. I tried the wash cloths soaked in apple cider vinegar with one on her tummy and one on her forehead for an hour, but there was no change. It just went up. Then I tried the egg whites. I got some cloth all goopy with the stuff and tried it for an hour reapplying once and there was no change. A tepid bath is what helped her. Now her temp went from over 104 to now it's 99.9. We didn't stay in the bath long. I hope it lasts, but I'm prepared to give her another if I need to! She hates the doctors and having stuff stuck up her butt! Even though most of the remedies didn't work for me, thank you for the ideas. It gave me something to do other than go crazy with worry.

This works, my 3yr old had a fever of 102.5 for hrs with no success using meds (tylenol, motrin). I googled on the internet for assistance and found this site. I went to the kitchen, used two eggs, clothes, plastic bags and socks. Soaked the egg yolks on the clothes, wrapped the clothes around his fet one at a time, put them in plastic ziploc bags and socks over them and an in about 20 mins his fever went down to 100.5. In and hour to 99.7. It works. Next time i will use saran wrap instead of ziploc for a tighter fit. I placed a towel in his bed because the yolks leaked. But it works.

Egg Whites on your feet for a fever. My 2 year old son had a 103 Temp. Out of desperation I put two egg whites in a bowl, soaked a baby wash cloth in it, then wrapped his foot in it, put is in a plastic sandwich bad the a sock over it. I repeated it on the other foot and with in 20 mins he has stared to cool down. I have not takeen his temp yet, but you can see that he's feeling a little better! Thank you SO SO much!!!

Bebe, how interesting! I remember lying in bed as a child, with the worst headache - I don't remember if I had fever - but my grandmother came and sat next to me with her hand on my forehead and after a while I was up and about with no headache!

My daughter woke up crying and screaming with an extremely high fever. I tried the egg whites on the bottom of her feet. I put 1 egg white directly into each of the plastic ziploc bags (saw this recommendation on the other comments) and put her foot right in each one. Even though she was still screaming, we kept her feet in the bags for for 5 minutes. It was amazing...the fever went down to 101. She went back to sleep and woke up the next morning with only a low grade fever. We are going to let the body do its work. Thank you for your site. We are on here EVERY DAY! GOD BLESS!
Liquid Calcium

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.
Apple Cider Vinegar

I have been a fan of Earth Clinic for 12 years now, ever since I discovered how to beat pink eye with colloidal silver when my oldest daughter was 4 years old. Since that first visit, I have checked EC whenever the kids or I get sick and have found loads of natural ways to heal us. However, I've never felt compelled to write a review until tonight.
My youngest daughter is 3 years old and came down with what I assume is a summer bug. It's upper respiratory, so she's pretty stuffy, but otherwise she was acting fairly normal today. Her appetite was a bit light, but not alarmingly so, and she played just as happily as ever.
Unfortunately, just before bedtime she started to get a fever. Getting her to take medicine is a total nightmare, so I usually just let fevers run their course. She fell asleep quickly but was resting fitfully. We co-sleep, and around 2:30 a.m., I woke up because I could feel she was burning up. I took her temp and it was 104.3.
I was trying to decide what to do, whether to risk attempting to give her medicine or put her in a like warm bath, but she was still asleep and I wanted to let her continue to rest if possible. Once again, I came to Earth Clinic hoping someone would have a good remedy for me to try.
Apple cider vinegar was at the top of the list and I knew I had some on hand because I had recently used it to help my dog with a yeast infection in his ears. I quietly slipped out to the kitchen, grabbed a small basin and a few paper towels, and filled the basin with 3 parts water to 1 part apple cider vinegar (with the mother).
I returned to my bedroom and tried placing a damp paper towel on my daughter's forehead, but she kept swiping at it in her sleep. I then wiped as much of her body as I could reach with the towels, starting at her feet and working my way up to her tummy, pausing for as long as she would let me on each door, leg, and then her torso.
When I was satisfied that I had covered as much of her body as I could, I took two of the paper towels, rung them out as much as possible, and tried to wrap them around her feet. She of course kicked them off immediately, so I folded one towel and held it against the bottom of one of her feet. Somehow she accepted that and let me hold it there for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes was up, the paper towel was nearly dry, so I put it back in the basin and checked her temp again. 99.8! I couldn't believe it. That was about 15 minutes ago and it's holding steady at that temp. She's sleeping peacefully now and her breathing even seems a bit better.
I decided to write the review so that other people would know that even if you can't follow someone else's protocol exactly, it might still work for you. I was so worried that it wouldn't work when I couldn't keep it on her forehead or wrapped around her feet, but thankfully it did! This will forever be my go-to remedy for fevers from now on.
Chronic Fever Remedies
Posted by Forloveford (Alberta, Canada) on 12/18/2013
My poor nephew has been suffering from an ongoing fever for about 1-1 1/2 months. After blood work and scans Dr's cannot find out what is going on with him. The fevers have recently triggered a seizure, he was rushed to emerg where Dr's said that the fever was the only cause and to give him Advil every few hours and check his temp.
There has to be a better way, he is coming to stay with us tomorrow and I am looking up everything I can for fever and seizure remedies. I will be trying 1 tsp ACV in water (this is what I give to my daughter instead of juice) as well as on a cloth if his temp gets high, egg white for a more severe temp and a tsp of coconut oil a day for the seizures.
Funny thing, my 3 year old daughter loves coconut oil and sneaks it whenever she can. Our family has a history of seizures yet nether myself, nor my daughter have ever experienced one even with dangerously high fevers. We have consumed and applied coconut oil almost everyday since before she was born, perhaps this is the answer to our mystery.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone might have some experience with these symptoms and perhaps a cause? I would like to be able to send him home without a trip to emerg, some new knowledge about the issue and some remedies to try.
Thank you all.

Just a thought for your nephew... I had a dog that had seizures, 3 or 4 a week, so I gave her a zinc tablet in her food every evening, the kind I take myself. She only from there on had about two a year and they were only mild.

His body is fighting an infection - it may be an urinary infection. Try the cranberry juice (no sugar but you can add honey) and also keep his feet in warm water with smashed garlic. Give him Manuka honey and bee Propolis tincture in water.

Question for you: was the egg whites raw or was this from a hard boiled egg? I am going to try this so am wondering which method you used? Thx.
EC: The egg whites should be raw.

Hello, Love this website. My 4 year old son had a fever of 100.3 yesterday. It broke last eve just to return again. I read several of the testimonies and decided to give the egg whites and diced yellow onion a try. Before I used this remedy, His fever was a 100.4. He has had the egg whites and onion on his feet for about 30 min, just took his temp again and it is 99.2. He still has a slight fever so I am gonna do it again but this time use paper towels instead of socks. He said that it is cold and gross... LOL...

Egg whites and socks-for a fever! My 5 year old son was sent home last monday for having a fever/headache. Well this past week, he hasn't been to school; because of a on and off again fever. I had trouble getting him to break a sweat to reduce the fever. Did the Ibuprofen and tylenol; rotation. Didn't really help. So tonight; I placed, egg whites on the soles of his feet with a baby washcloth and put socks on him and I went to his room to check on him about an hour later and he was sweating like a pig; literally!!! And his feet were very hot too! So thank god, for our ancestors!
