Egg Whites used to reduce the fever in my 11 month old baby girl. My wife and I were up with our daughter about all of last night with a high temperature. Through the evening and night we gave her a couple of doses of fever reducing medicine for infants with no results. At about 6:30am I whispered a prayer for wisdom and then it came to me to do an internet search of home remedies for fever. You see, I pray to a very practical God, and He answers. I found your website and the egg white remedy jumped out at me. Being raised in the south, I was not afraid to try this at all. Within minutes of placing the egg white soaked cloths on her feet, we could feel a noticable difference in her body temp. Thank you so much for making this info available.

I was desperate. Tylenol was not working. I read this and my mom helped me try it. My temperature was 101. I could literally feel the heat moving, from my head to the back of my neck to the middle of my back, to my thighs down to the bottom of my feet. within about 40 minutes my temerature went down to 99.8. This really works. Thank you.

My son had a fever all day today. I had overspent at the grocerystore and just didn't think he was going to get sick. Needless to say, the fever came on quick. I was worried because I don't have a thermometor and could not check his temperature. I called his dad, and he hasn't called me back. So, I did what any single mother with a fevered child would do. Look for home remedies. I was a little reluctant at first, but then thought, well, I need to try something. With in the first ten minutes of application, his fever was starting to go down. I am so thankful for this site. Thank you very much!

Hi, I am very grateful to you for posting this method. It helped to reduce my daughter's fever form 39.7 (celsius) to around 38.8 in about 30 minutes. I was alone with her and started to panic as her temperature was going up and up. I started to check the Internet in an attempt to find a natural remedy when I came accross this method and implemented it at once. It was back in April but I couldn't find time up until now to post what I wanted to tell you - a big "THANK YOU".

My daughter's temperature started at 101.7, then to 103.8 even after Children's Motrin. I wrapped her feet with egg white clothes and her fever was down to 101.9 within 20 minutes!

My 10 year old son woke me up at 12:30am. His temp registered at 104.5. I gave him a tylenol, which he proceeded to throw back up. Dropped him into a cool tub and ran to the internet. I found your site and thought your remedies sounded silly. There was no way eggs would work. Well, the tub did not drop his temp and he was still throwing up, so down to the kitchen I went. We got a big laugh out of the slimy, cold feeling of egg whites on bare feet, but we wrapped them up, covered them with his Dad's socks and waited. Within a few minutes his temp dropped to 103.4. 10 minutes late, down to 102.6. Within 30 minutes he was at 100.5. Just not sure how long I need to leave the eggs on him feet. Will definitely use this remedy again. Thank you!

The flu, a bug was going around. Last week my 60 year old husband had awful body chills that often come before a high fever. His fever then started to rise and rise to 102-F where it stayed for hours. No amount of cool cloths, etc seemed to work. Desperate, I went online and Googled for some help and found your site. I raced into the kitchen, soaked two paper towels in chilled egg whites and wrapped them around his feet and added warm, dry socks (note: he truly hated this feeling and let me know in no uncertain terms!) As I hovered over him there was initally no relief. I was making both of us crazy, so I sat down quietly and took his temparture about 30 minutes later...the fever had broken and within the hour his temparture was back to 98.8-F. When I took off his sock and unwrapped the towels it was amazing to see the egg whites COOKED! I have passed along your site and this remedy to many friends. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much!)

My son had a fever of 101 this morning. By noon it was up to 103. I checked Earth Clinic for remedies and found this one. We applied the eggs whites and within half an hour, his fever had dropped to 101. Great remedy!

This is by far the weirdest thing I have ever heard of for curing a fever... but it works! I had a fever tonight that was rising rapidly. I was desperate, so I had my husband help me with this strange concoction. But after about 20 minutes, my fever was up to 101.9! The problem: he hadn't wrapped my feet up - he had simply put some paper towels on the bottom of my feet. So we decided to give it another try... the right way. We soaked two paper towels in egg whites, and wrapped each one around my feet. Literally, within ONE MINUTE, I started feeling really hot (I had been really cold up until that time). Could these be the sweats you get when your fever breaks? No, not so fast, I thought, and assumed my fever had gone up. But when I checked it, it was 101.8, and about 15 minutes later it was 101. Now, about 30 minutes later, it is 100.5. My husband thought I was crazy when I suggested this method - but he is now a believer! We are definitely going to be using egg whites to fight fevers in the future!

My 5 year old had a high fever for about 40 hours. It would only come down temporarily after a cool bath and then spike back up. On 6/25 at 3:00 am my child woke me up and again had a fever of 103. Out of desperation I got on the internet and saw the egg white remedy on your website. Although I was very doubtful of the effectiveness I went ahead and dipped a paper towel in egg white and wrapped my child's feet and covered them with socks. At 3:20 the fever was down to 101 and by 3.30 it was at 100! I just took it again at 9:30 in the morning and it is normal! After battling his stubborn fever I just can't believe that this worked, but it did. Thanks!

I had scalded my hand while making homemade jam and fortunately my father-in-law was present and had me soak it in eggwhites and then drenched a papertowel and placed it on my hand and wrapped my hand in a small towel for 30 minutes. The pain was immediately gone and did not return. I have no marks from the burn either. MIRACULOUS!

My son's temp was 102.6f and was trying to get him to sleep. Within less then 10 minutes, his temp dropped from 102.7 to 100.8 and he was asleep in less then 15 minutes. Glad that I came across this one, never heard of egg whites for fevers this one is one that I will remember.

I have tried egg whites remedy and it really helped, thanks millions. My sister had a fever after liver biopsy and I didn't want to continue with Panadol, so, when I found this site, I tried what you recommended.

My boyfriend had a 103.8 fever for a while, and after trying absolutely everything I came across this site. I read up on the egg whites to bring down a fever, I was skeptical at first, but I gave it a shot. Within a half hour his fever had gone down from 103.8 to 100.1 .. WOW. Amazing!! Thank you very much!!!!!

You made me a believer. On 02.10.06, my wife got a high fever of 103.2 and, after to resorting to all the over the counter medications, I found this article. I tried it exactly as recommended and with an hour her fever was down to 101. It took a bit longer for her to finally break the fever and start the "sweats" but thanks to you, she is now fine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am so thankful for this site. My daughter called me and my grand-son, 4 years old, had 104.9 and I was so scared. I told her to try the vinegar and Motrin and she did and nothing really happened, but then she tried the egg whites which I really thought it would not work, but in 20 minutes his fever went from 104.9 to 101.00, IT REALLY DOES WORK!!! Thank you so much at least my little grand-son did not have to be traumatized in the hospital with blood tests, etc... Thanks again
