Yesterday I suffered through the worst virus infection of my life (possibly covid??); super high fever, headache, and terrible pain in joints and muscles. Finally I thought I'd see if Dr. Berg had any good advice and I found this video. Immediately got into a hot bath and within a minute ALL the muscle pain disappeared, headache decreased by 80% and my fever lowered within an hour. Today I feel almost back to normal minus a very slight cold, which I've been keeping at bay with the ACV drink. This guy's advice is super solid and though his critics say he's "not a real doctor", I couldn't care less about titles. All that matters is results, and everything I've tried from him so far has nothing but improved my health. Thank you Dr. Berg!
I am going through the same thing. Doctor said I was negative on all tests. Said it is a viral infection they have no idea wich one. My pain in the legs hurt so much. I felt better when I covered myself and remained warm. Now I have scratchy throat and boogers.
I have cholinergic urticaria with anaphylaxis a fever would put me straight into shock. Please be careful and realize there are exceptions. I've seen wayyyy too many "doctors" who treat everybody the same when we are all different.
@@RedRedux I also have Cholinergic Urticaria. It doesn't put me into shock though when I get a fever. Funnily enough, I don't break out in hives when my temp goes up past 37.5c, but my normal body temp runs at 35.6c so what looks like a fairly low grade fever to medics etc, results in me with rigors and being ridiculously unwell. My temp was 38.7c two weeks ago as I have Covid-19
@@whiggygirl oh wow I hope you are recovering ok. I'm on 4 times the daily dose of rupatadine and quercetin at the moment and had atypical pneumonia in January I'm wondering now if the rupatadine didn't save my life. Some interesting studies on it for the treatment of vascular leak in dengue fever. I'm a 35.8 normally for temp and I take Tylenol the minute it gets to 36.5 and go to the ER usually for antibiotics (kidney infections is how I found out the fever induces anaphylactic shock). There's no amount of fever that's going to resolve a pyleonephritis 🤷
Mother would wrap us up in a wool army blanket and sweat the fever out of us. The only thing we consumed during this period was room temperature water. Lots of it! An ice pack was always at the ready, if our foreheads felt too hot. She treated all our childhood illnesses with all natural remedies she had learned as a child from her mother and grand-mother. ☺️
Natural remedies is the way to go...still the best approach after all these years... The pharmaceutical industry only really developed after the end if WW 2...although aspirin, (as shown in one of Dr Berg's videos), was used to treat the deadly Spanish Flu after WW 1.
Had CV back in January when it was raging through Florida, weeks before the media taught us what to call it. Had fever for nearly 3 weeks and there's No doubt I've never been so sick. Fever, and extreme fatigue, were the overwhelming symptoms. Never went to a doctor because, well, why? I knew there was nothing they could do for me. I started to gain the upper hand when I started taking very hot baths with 5 to 7 drops each of Peppermint, Frankincense and Lavender oils. I bet I took 25 baths like that in 3 weeks. The baths would break the fever but, more importantly, because of the oils, they became an expectorant for all the garbage in my lungs. My wife got it a few weeks after i did, but we started her on oregano oil immediately. She got about 70 percent of what I had because of that and the oregano oil seemed to instantly halt the worsening of symptoms. She recovered much quicker. I will also add that we are both IFers, have been for nearly 3 years. I think this made a huge difference in our bodies ability to fight and recover. Now, however, I'm actually GLAD I had the virus. Why? Because that incessant fever literally cooked off every bad thing in my body, I believe. I actually feel better and stronger now than before, and I was super healthy before. Somehow, I feel purged by the fire of the fever. Thx Dr. Berg for all you do. Love your products and your videos. If only we could put you in charge of all this madness, I think the country would be all better in a few weeks. I also think many, many people have ALREADY had it. Florida was a sick state from late December to March. Its already been through here and we all know it!!
I am just recovering from it too and had exactly the symptoms you describe. I tested positive nine days later too. The exhaustion is horrific isn't it. Now I'm just waiting for this residual cough to depart so I can return back to work (I'm a nurse). I am definitely going to try oregano oil as I have some
I’m from Florida as well and I got the “flu” back in January. I have never been so sick like I was back in January, it felt like I was dying a thousand deaths every night. I couldn’t move out of bed and I basically quarantined myself in my own room. When I went to the doctor, they told me that it was Influenza Type A and Influenza Type A is quite contagious. I still believe it was Influenza that I caught but it makes me wonder what if I caught that flu 2 months later, would they still tell me it was Influenza or would they just tell me I had COviD-19. Makes me a bit thankful I caught the flu right before things went to hell.
i know people are so brainwashe dto reach for toxic meds minute something is going on. hot baths and hot saunas help kill stuff off as well as cancer cells as they die at lower temerature than regular cells. i used frankincense oil for brain tumours to save my eyesight the swelling in my head, nothing worked medical wise to control my eyes bulging i put on tongue a ddrop thre times a day instant brain swelling went down. went on gerson therapy for end stage four cancer. all natural healing. im glad you survived this virus great to know ill take notes on the oils.
I had something back in November. Gosh i thought it was pneumonia. I was DOWN for like 4 days. Went in to a walk in and got a sterroid shot and a zpac and felt beeter after about a week. Whew. Just hit me out of nowhere and couldnt hardly breathe. Then that all happened in China right after.
Dr.Berg you're a genius. I had a fever which kept on increasing. Initially, it was 100.4°F, then after an hour it shot to 102.3°F and the max it reached was 103.5°F. I did nothing to reduce it and it automatically reduced to 100.1°F after 4-5 hours. Now I'm completely fine. Fever is indeed the best defence mechanism our bodies have. We shouldn't suppress it. Thank you so much.
Grand parents used to say that fever is good but not too much. Now science and many brilliant doctors like you are acknowledging this fact. Highly appreciate all of your outstanding efforts and advices. Thanks a lot.
Fantastic explanation, Dr. Eric! Everybody should know these basic principles of functioning of the organism. Because normally whenever fever goes up, people take medicines to lower it...
I always suspected this, even if I did not study medicine... now my question is: why do most doctors prescribe stuff for turning off fever, even after studying medicine for at least 5 years?
Thank you! My baby had fever yesterday for the first time she is 6 months and now it went away today. Thank you! I wasn’t panicked I trust in God. :P I am sick as well. Taking medication and hot tea. I am calm. And this video is a bonus for me.
*This is amazing. Just today morning I was speaking with someone and told them that a fever is a good thing, it actually is proof that your immune system is functioning optimally, i.e., doing everything it is supposed to in order to protect you. And just today Dr. Berg releases this video. Damn I feel like a Doctor now!*
This has happened so many times for me too. He will also record and release videos right when I need them as well. At least 20 times now after starting watching his videos like 3 years ago. I love Dr. Eric Berg!!
Thank you. Just recovered from some kind of flu without tablets because of your video. Fever started in the evening from 37.1 to 38.0 over the night. I drank thyme tea and was sweating in bed during the night . In the morning 36.9. During next day 37.3 and on second morning 36.4. This is my second time when I didn't use tablets to recover from flu. First time it was covid . It took nearly 9 days to recover with zero tablets.
Yes, fever is necessary to fight off pathogens. However, it can be a double-edged sword. Too high temperature can be harmful and sometimes the immune system doesn't calm down and inflammation becomes chronic. That's when fever can become bad...
Fever even had a diagnostic purpose pre-antipiretics time. There were certain fever patterns (febris intermittens, remittens, continua, etc.) that occured in certain period, that were specific for certain illness. Pretty cool.
This is why Sepsis with hypothermia is far more dangerous, because the body is not responding to the 'invasion'. The high temp is your body's method of launching attack and fighting back
Yes. Sepsis with hypothermia-really bad prognosis. You need that interleukin 1,6, TNF-alfa, and interferon gamma to kick up your "thermostat" in hypothalamus.
this is so neat. I was always told to take a cool shower to cool my body down. My aunts and Uncle's always swore by putting on a blanket and sweating the fever out. Thank you for enlightening me to the fact.You rock Dr.Berg

Dr. Berg.....I hope you know how very much you are appreciated. You keep it real and I can tell you have a love for humanity. Thank you so much for your great videos! You continue to educate and help me and so many people.
Dr. Berg ever since i subscribed to your channel. I have gained alot of knowledge. I also like that you promote a healthy lifestyle through safe and fact backed information.
I'm a student of Indian system of medicine..I agree with you doctor ...but high fever may cause chronic inflammatory process it will lead to damage..so I suggest that fever need a immunomodulatory medicine which is best to keep fever in normal limit and also provide essential components for immune cells....
This scares me because I’ve heard of people doing this in the past and children especially passing out or dying because the fever never went down. Idk how true this is
I have read a book called Counterclockwise written by social psychologist Ellen Langer. She has also done some research on how our own mind changes our body. One of the famous study is Chambermade study. I think when we think fever is a bad thing it becomes real. But when we recognise that fever is our body's management of the situation . We accept it.
Back in the '50s and early 60's, there was little to any access to professional medical folks, so we went with the tried and true rememdy of the hills. When we got a fever/aches, etc. we took a tonic of old crow liquor infused with peppermint hard rock candy and lemon juice. Then we went to bed and covered up to "sweat it out" and usually the next day, the fever had broken and we were on the mend!
Yes...the natural remedies have certainly stood the test of time...and been handed down through countless generations... After all, the pharmaceutical industry only really developed after the end of WW 2... The "pill popping" culture we currently live in is actually doing more harm than good...
Haven't had fever for 3 years due to fasting. However this Feb I did have mild fever/weakness for 3 days and I did not take any meds. It just did its job and went away...
When I was a your boy my mother had a high temperature of, 107 degrees,I believe it was. After this, the doctor discovered heart valve damage and said it was due to the high fever. I would be curious to hear your opinions of that situation.
The Prophet Mohammad PBUH said, “Do not curse fever. Verily, it removes the sins of the children of Adam, just as a furnace removes dirt from iron.” .... Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2575
According to Sahih al-Bukhari, “Fever is from the heat of Hell, so put it out (cool it) with water.” Elevated body temperatures can prove fatal beyond a certain point, and applications of cold water can bring them down to normal faster
I had always wondered about the purpose of the body's utilization of fever during an infection - but never did any research on it. After all these years of not knowing , this was really interesting and helpful - thanks kindly for the education Dr Berg - you rock !!
This makes so much sense Dr. Berg!!!! Thank you for all your Wonderful Videos🌟 Everyone needs to share this video! God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏
Can’t thank you enough for all these great informations you’re giving us for free ! Wish to meet you one day ❤️ biggest fan from a small country in Asia !
I have been told fevers and high temperature are not the problem and dont cause damage; fevers are not a problem. Fevers indicate an infection....and that might or might not be a big deal; and that depends on other factors...not fever temp.
Before I really love having fever because my parents starts asking me what foods I want and I don't get to do household chores. I'll just sit and lay in bed the whole day like a tyrant
Hey Dr. Berg, Can you do a follow-up video to this regarding sauna and steam room benefits/myths, for the human body. Cheers, and a God Bless from Australia.
doctor I would like to ask you for a video, I know my requests are many but I trust you so much🤕, I would like a video to find out how to relieve allergy during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as I am pregnant I avoid antihystamines and even natural capsules are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, thank you
I would love to hear your opinion about fasting during the month of Ramadan? We will be eating around 8 pm so what are you recommendations for eating so late?
Incredible, two days ago I had a fever as a result of antibiotics I was taking, that night I took a hot bath and covered myself and sweat it out, the next day I woke up fine, refreshed and full of energy.
17 dislikes in 17 hours from 17 business owners of clinics that are experiencing lower footfalls due to shutdowns, lockdowns, social distancing, frequent hand washing and staying at home.
I had a fever of a 107 when I was 12 years old. I was sick for my birthday and was sick over a week. My mom kept going to work. I was too weak to open the medicine to take for a fever, which was probably a good thing since it was aspirin.
Lucca Santos Quite the contrary, even from a young age I always loved vegetables and I never liked sweets and candies. I had one birthday cake in my life and I thought it was gross so I’ve never had one since. I get sick once every 8-10 years but when I do I’m usually pretty jacked up for a week or so, probably because the Cooties had it out for me and finally got me lol.
The thing is that you have to be very cautious with high fever on kids and also on adults cause Ive seen kids and adults that can have convulsions with high fever and that us not good to the brain.
Hello, I like what you do, so I have a request. Can you put the Arabic language on your channel so that we can benefit from your research? Thank you very much.
I have a mild fever. It doesn't suppress my appetite or anything I do normally in my daily life. When I drink hot nettle tea it goes away, but it comes back.
That's why I never take paracetamol, one time my fever was so high and was so hot that I thought I couldn't hold long - then I perspire soo much that there after...my fever was gone and I felt well at other times I used the traditional way of steaming were I boil water and put 3 tbspn of salt on casserole and cover myself with the blanket along inside the boiling water exposing myself inside the blanketed heat and works well even with flu and cough ...thanks for this Dr.Berg.
@@Drberg Hello Dr.Berg..I have ongoing pain in chest throat..After roughly 10 day fever..I'm not sleeping and haven't got test for covid. .I now get up and do breathing as It feels too much pressure in chest..why is steaming beneficial and can it help if I have Covid. Thanks for your videos sir.
Dr Berg, The higher the fever, the worse the aches and pains are. I would be too scared to let the fever go up with everything we’ve been taught thru our lives.
agreed about letting the fever run its course - HOWEVER, when it starts to interfere with sleep for days on end, there is a point to keeping it in check. Also, drugs like Ibuprofen reduce fever and with these its good to take no more than 1 per day, as if the fever comes back, its not quite done yet.
I had walking pneumonia in my early 20's with 105 temperature. Doctor at the time said my lungs were scared? Be careful if I got flu. Worried past history being 63 now makes me subseptable to corona?
Hello doctor, I have a son who was two years old the last time, his temperature increased 38.4 degrees, and I did not give him medicines to reduce the temperature and he convulsed. How to reduce your temperature quickly without resorting to medicine? How do I raise your immunity? I hope to answer my question and thanks
according to what Dr, pollack have discovered about the Gel type/state of the water ()in his book the forth phase of water) when ever the body temperature rises it makes this gel type fluid to become more fluid, thus helping in the action of removing inflamation and mucus. this goes in line with your statements of how good fevers are for the body
When I get sick. I just let the fever go on. Been doing this since my mom stopped forcing tylenol/ibuprofen down my throat as a kid. If it's over 105 for more than 24 hours and isn't breaking on its own periodically, then I consider taking medications as it's an inflammatory response to your body fighting and must be controlled to prevent damage to the body. Some of my worst sicknesses though - I've had over 105 fevers and get into a steaming hot shower/bath for 10-15 min cause it's the only way to feel somewhat warm. I get out light headed, feel like collapsing/passing out, and then I fall asleep shortly after only to wake up feeling much better most of the time. I'm pretty sure I'm pushing my body into pretty dangerous temperatures when I do this and it isn't entirely safe for everyone. But, I believe that short exposure to extreme temperatures shouldn't cause damage. It's the equivalent to wearing winter gear in death valley for 10/15 min and then taking it off so your body can cool itself with all the sweat. Though I am curious as to whether a study exists that shows whether the body's homeostasis core temp of 98 degrees remains the same with a fever since it's an immune response. Is it actually something different when you have a fever? Does getting in a hot bath/shower actually help your fever stay elevated to fight the infection vs making your body work significantly harder to protect itself and maintain 98 degrees? That said - staying hydrated so your body can self-regulate temperature and maintain electrolytes/fluids is a must if you were going to do this. If you're already malnourished or extremely dehydrated, don't even think about bout jumping into a hot shower/bath - Your may dehydrate yourself further or your body may not be able to regulate temperature once you get out of the bath/shower.
You’re a fortune teller, I literally just googled fever, I’m feeling hot right now but my temperature is only 37c Edit: should I increase zinc intake? I take multivitamins with 10mg zinc included daily but I have 20mg zinc sulfate just in case
If you're a male, you should probably aim for around 20mg daily. Add 5-10mg if you are sweating a lot (physical labor, working out, fever) as zinc is lost in perspiration. 40mg is the upper limit. Hitting 40mg every day though is not recommended and you're probably getting more from different whole food sources than you realize. More zinc is not better. It won't significantly increase your testosterone and prolonged elevated levels can cause diarrhea and other side effects. Stick to around 20mg.
I had a fever starting at 6pm… 9pm my legs started to ache. I just let my body do it’s fighting. Around 2am my temp is back to normal and I feel better. Does this mean my body killed the flu or virus inside my body?
finally someone is saying dont supress it first thing people do is try supress what body knows what to do.
Yesterday I suffered through the worst virus infection of my life (possibly covid??); super high fever, headache, and terrible pain in joints and muscles. Finally I thought I'd see if Dr. Berg had any good advice and I found this video. Immediately got into a hot bath and within a minute ALL the muscle pain disappeared, headache decreased by 80% and my fever lowered within an hour.

Amen to that!!!

I'm a student of Indian system of medicine..I agree with you doctor ...but high fever may cause chronic inflammatory process it will lead to damage..so I suggest that fever need a immunomodulatory medicine which is best to keep fever in normal limit and also provide essential components for immune cells....
This scares me because I’ve heard of people doing this in the past and children especially passing out or dying because the fever never went down. Idk how true this is
I have read a book called Counterclockwise written by social psychologist Ellen Langer. She has also done some research on how our own mind changes our body. One of the famous study is Chambermade study. I think when we think fever is a bad thing it becomes real. But when we recognise that fever is our body's management of the situation . We accept it.
Very interesting...I need to read this book!
Studied social psychology briefly as an undergrad...fascinating subject to explore...
Back in the '50s and early 60's, there was little to any access to professional medical folks, so we went with the tried and true rememdy of the hills. When we got a fever/aches, etc. we took a tonic of old crow liquor infused with peppermint hard rock candy and lemon juice. Then we went to bed and covered up to "sweat it out" and usually the next day, the fever had broken and we were on the mend!
Yes...the natural remedies have certainly stood the test of time...and been handed down through countless generations...
After all, the pharmaceutical industry only really developed after the end of WW 2...
The "pill popping" culture we currently live in is actually doing more harm than good...
Haven't had fever for 3 years due to fasting. However this Feb I did have mild fever/weakness for 3 days and I did not take any meds. It just did its job and went away...
When I was a your boy my mother had a high temperature of, 107 degrees,I believe it was. After this, the doctor discovered heart valve damage and said it was due to the high fever. I would be curious to hear your opinions of that situation.
That doctor is a liar.
The Prophet Mohammad PBUH said, “Do not curse fever. Verily, it removes the sins of the children of Adam, just as a furnace removes dirt from iron.” ....

He also said that Allah makes it rain, so why are most Muslim countries so dry and barren?

According to Sahih al-Bukhari, “Fever is from the heat of Hell, so put it out (cool it) with water.” Elevated body temperatures can prove fatal beyond a certain point, and applications of cold water can bring them down to normal faster
Hi Dr. Berg
What's best to eat during Ramadan (Fasting from dawn till dusk)
Malik (Karachi, Pakistan)
I had always wondered about the purpose of the body's utilization of fever during an infection - but never did any research on it. After all these years of not knowing , this was really interesting and helpful - thanks kindly for the education Dr Berg - you rock !!
This makes so much sense Dr. Berg!!!! Thank you for all your Wonderful Videos🌟 Everyone needs to share this video! God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏
Can’t thank you enough for all these great informations you’re giving us for free ! Wish to meet you one day ❤️ biggest fan from a small country in Asia !
Doctor Berg, please answer my question, my normal temperature is 35.5 Celsius - 95.9 Fahrenheit. Is this a problem, what does that mean?
Average body temperature is. 36.2 - 37.2 degrees
I have been told fevers and high temperature are not the problem and dont cause damage; fevers are not a problem. Fevers indicate an infection....and that might or might not be a big deal; and that depends on other factors...not fever temp.
Eric I am your big fan from India..you are having good teaching skill sir
Another great info that many work exactly the reverse, including health practitioners. People really and seriously lack and need information.
Loving these videos ! Not sure why FOX or CNN hasn't pulled you in to help the rest
Very Great Explaination with. Example of soldiers...,👍👍👍👍
Before I really love having fever because my parents starts asking me what foods I want and I don't get to do household chores. I'll just sit and lay in bed the whole day like a tyrant
Lol same but now our parents aren't there anymore so i hate getting sick 😫😷
This used to be done before medicines were around.
Yes...it's called natural remedies...and this is what people did before the onset of the pharmaceutical industry (which developed after WW 2)...
@@rebeccasimantov5476 that's right. Stop the fever, make people more ill for longer, and rake in the profits.
Hey Dr. Berg,
Can you do a follow-up video to this regarding sauna and steam room benefits/myths, for the human body.

doctor I would like to ask you for a video, I know my requests are many but I trust you so much🤕, I would like a video to find out how to relieve allergy during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as I am pregnant I avoid antihystamines and even natural capsules are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, thank you
Is that applicable on kids as well?
I would love to hear your opinion about fasting during the month of Ramadan? We will be eating around 8 pm so what are you recommendations for eating so late?
I learned this on biology lesson in eight grade - many years ago in Europe!
Intron A is a powerful stuff. Very expensive. Saved my life 20 years ago.
Dr berg, I trust you so much.

Excellent video briefly explained thanks Dr berg . you're awesome.
What temperature is safe with a fever, how high before I should seek medical attention?
Incredible, two days ago I had a fever as a result of antibiotics I was taking, that night I took a hot bath and covered myself and sweat it out, the next day I woke up fine, refreshed and full of energy.
my body is so smart !! i haven't got3a fever in ages and i just knew somehow that i have to take a warm bath. wow
Very interesting! Thank you
Off topic question....Can you talk about Forskolin?

Dr. Berg, you are the very best!!
Dr Berg is great 👏👏👏
102 is my all time record
107 is the hottest I ever got when I was a kid, I remember passing out at waking up in the hospital 🤒
Your mom probably didn't feed you well, with essential nutrients. That's why you got sick, like all of us.
Wow!..107 I think the highest fever I ever had was 102, and I felt terrible!
I had a fever of a 107 when I was 12 years old. I was sick for my birthday and was sick over a week. My mom kept going to work. I was too weak to open the medicine to take for a fever, which was probably a good thing since it was aspirin.
Lucca Santos Quite the contrary, even from a young age I always loved vegetables and I never liked sweets and candies. I had one birthday cake in my life and I thought it was gross so I’ve never had one since. I get sick once every 8-10 years but when I do I’m usually pretty jacked up for a week or so, probably because the Cooties had it out for me and finally got me lol.
Holy crap! The hottest fever I got was 104... My mom had one of 106 when she was a kid.
The thing is that you have to be very cautious with high fever on kids and also on adults cause Ive seen kids and adults that can have convulsions with high fever and that us not good to the brain.
Hello, I like what you do, so I have a request. Can you put the Arabic language on your channel so that we can benefit from your research? Thank you very much.
We always try so bad to fight off symptoms...
I have a mild fever. It doesn't suppress my appetite or anything I do normally in my daily life. When I drink hot nettle tea it goes away, but it comes back.
My so called family doctor never told me about that! 🤔. Thanks for your video 👍
I’ve been told all my life ( 45 years old) Never Ever take a warm bath when you have a fever 🤔Confused.
Yuliya P yess ive heard this too😳
Isn't that because you may pass out?
I think it may have something to do with overheating and fainting
Cold bath will make the fever go up. You want it luke warm
Because you will loose body temperature a lot quicker once you are done with hot bath(=body feels cold)
I have heard this before but so hard to let it go its painful haha but I know it’s the right way to go! Thank you DOC BERG!
That's why I never take paracetamol, one time my fever was so high and was so hot that I thought I couldn't hold long - then I perspire soo much that there after...my fever was gone and I felt well at other times I used the traditional way of steaming were I boil water and put 3 tbspn of salt on casserole and cover myself with the blanket along inside the boiling water exposing myself inside the blanketed heat and works well even with flu and cough ...thanks for this Dr.Berg.
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg Hello Dr.Berg..I have ongoing pain in chest throat..After roughly 10 day fever..I'm not sleeping and haven't got test for covid. .I now get up and do breathing as It feels too much pressure in chest..why is steaming beneficial and can it help if I have Covid. Thanks for your videos sir.
Absolutely
Thank Dr Berg... Didn't know that
Thank you for watching!
Hi Dr Berg, please can you tell me if inflammation, lungs issue or asthma reduces by eating watermelon? Does it affect a diabetic patient?
Dr Berg, The higher the fever, the worse the aches and pains are. I would be too scared to let the fever go up with everything we’ve been taught thru our lives.
Think you Dr berg❤..there is reason for everything to arise and what the benefits can be wooo did we know ?!! Good to know!🤗!great fan of yours ❤
agreed about letting the fever run its course - HOWEVER, when it starts to interfere with sleep for days on end, there is a point to keeping it in check.
Also, drugs like Ibuprofen reduce fever and with these its good to take no more than 1 per day, as if the fever comes back, its not quite done yet.
Do hot baths come in contradiction with cold showers ? I take daily cold showers to improve my immune system. Should I also take hot baths as well ?
Why they say fever is so dangerous in new borns and how to deal with it in a safe manner? Ty Dr Berg!
New Years Eve and I have the flu with fever & cough. My hubby has flu with nausea, vomiting & diarrhea.
I concur. My mother in law treated me with Tylenol when I was sick, whatever this was lasted a long time for me. Not a good idea. Never again
What can we say for anxious family about high fever and febrail convulsions in pediatric. Kindly for your advice. Thank you and stay safe.
I had walking pneumonia in my early 20's with 105 temperature. Doctor at the time said my lungs were scared? Be careful if I got flu. Worried past history being 63 now makes me subseptable to corona?
Hello doctor, I have a son who was two years old the last time, his temperature increased 38.4 degrees, and I did not give him medicines to reduce the temperature and he convulsed. How to reduce your temperature quickly without resorting to medicine? How do I raise your immunity? I hope to answer my question and thanks
according to what Dr, pollack have discovered about the Gel type/state of the water ()in his book the forth phase of water) when ever the body temperature rises it makes this gel type fluid to become more fluid, thus helping in the action of removing inflamation and mucus. this goes in line with your statements of how good fevers are for the body
When I get sick. I just let the fever go on. Been doing this since my mom stopped forcing tylenol/ibuprofen down my throat as a kid.
If it's over 105 for more than 24 hours and isn't breaking on its own periodically, then I consider taking medications as it's an inflammatory response to your body fighting and must be controlled to prevent damage to the body.
Some of my worst sicknesses though - I've had over 105 fevers and get into a steaming hot shower/bath for 10-15 min cause it's the only way to feel somewhat warm. I get out light headed, feel like collapsing/passing out, and then I fall asleep shortly after only to wake up feeling much better most of the time. I'm pretty sure I'm pushing my body into pretty dangerous temperatures when I do this and it isn't entirely safe for everyone. But, I believe that short exposure to extreme temperatures shouldn't cause damage. It's the equivalent to wearing winter gear in death valley for 10/15 min and then taking it off so your body can cool itself with all the sweat.
Though I am curious as to whether a study exists that shows whether the body's homeostasis core temp of 98 degrees remains the same with a fever since it's an immune response. Is it actually something different when you have a fever? Does getting in a hot bath/shower actually help your fever stay elevated to fight the infection vs making your body work significantly harder to protect itself and maintain 98 degrees?
That said - staying hydrated so your body can self-regulate temperature and maintain electrolytes/fluids is a must if you were going to do this. If you're already malnourished or extremely dehydrated, don't even think about bout jumping into a hot shower/bath - Your may dehydrate yourself further or your body may not be able to regulate temperature once you get out of the bath/shower.
Great comment and makes total sense.
When I was nursing I always use to say this
But my colleagues would laugh at me
🤷♀️
Thanx Dr. Berg and as always you are very insighful however

You’re a fortune teller, I literally just googled fever, I’m feeling hot right now but my temperature is only 37c
Edit: should I increase zinc intake? I take multivitamins with 10mg zinc included daily but I have 20mg zinc sulfate just in case
If you're a male, you should probably aim for around 20mg daily. Add 5-10mg if you are sweating a lot (physical labor, working out, fever) as zinc is lost in perspiration. 40mg is the upper limit. Hitting 40mg every day though is not recommended and you're probably getting more from different whole food sources than you realize. More zinc is not better. It won't significantly increase your testosterone and prolonged elevated levels can cause diarrhea and other side effects. Stick to around 20mg.
Great great video. I always think of a fever as something really really bad. 👏🙏🏼👍🏼
I had a fever starting at 6pm… 9pm my legs started to ache. I just let my body do it’s fighting. Around 2am my temp is back to normal and I feel better. Does this mean my body killed the flu or virus inside my body?
Does taking paracetamol supress the fever?
Dr Berg, thank you for amazing video.
How about pregnant women have fever? Thank you so much
