My daughter, age 5, had a 103.6 fever and was miserable. I rubbed egg white on her feet, covered with cheesecloth, and put socks on. I re-took her temperature after 10 minutes and it didn't work. Took it again 10 minutes later and her temperature was down to 102.7 and that's WITH her starting to cry a lot, which, of course, makes a child's temperature hotter. 102.7 isn't as much improvement as I hoped for, it's substantia. Maybe I didn't use enough egg white. Anyway, I believe it worked and will try it again if for fever. It can't hurt, so why not? She seems content now. I'd call it a partial win.

My 10 y/o daughter has been sick maybe 6 times in her short life. I pride myself with using natural remedies, chamomille, ginger, running alcohol, vicks, etc. Today after tring Tylenol, OTC stuff and nothing working for the fever of 101.9 and 102.5 I found you. TG! I just placed the egg whites on her feet and the fever has started to drop. I will check back with you later to give you additional feedback. Hubby sic too! I gave to them last week and feel yucky myself. Thank you so much!
