For those of you who have children, you will fully understand my next statement… “There is nothing scarier than seeing your child burn with a high fever in the middle of the night.” If you don’t have kids, you probably don’t get it. But think about it for a moment… a child with a fever over 104 degrees (up to 102 or 103 is common in young children – not so much in adults), well, that child would be hot to the touch, listless, and could have seizures, And the doctors’ offices are closed! I think the scariest part about parents is that they have no control, they can’t fixed it’s.

Conventional medicine generally tells parents to uncover the patient, take ice baths, and take ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Additionally, they instruct parents to “let the fever run its course.” What? Lie back and let the fever ravage my son’s body?

An adult with a fever (his rarely exceeds 103) is not susceptible to seizures, but will still feel listless, often accompanied by a headache. Adults usually have to take care of themselves and don’t really feel like moving; therefore, adults quickly become dehydrated. Dehydration gets ugly:

• Lack of sweating – which leaves the patient in a bind – if the patient can’t sweat, how will the fever come down?
• fast heartbeat
• Low blood pressure
• fast breathing
• In severe cases, delirium.

As a child, I would always take fever-reducing medicine, put ice packs on my neck, wrists, and chest, and wait. The aggravating thing was that the fever lasted for days. When I was older, I started seeing a naturopath and she recommended “The Wet Sock Treatment”. Let me tell you, my family laughed about it for weeks. But one winter, my nephew was around 19 years old and developed a fever that stayed at 104 for several days (about a week). He had become listless, could not eat, and began to hallucinate. I suggest the Wet sock treatment to my sister. We laugh at doing something like that to a sick person. But she said that they had done everything conventional and nothing worked.

She called me the next morning and said, “It’s a miracle. I never would have thought wet socks would do anything, but her fever went down last night and she’s celebrating Thanksgiving with the family.” I asked her if she cared about the treatment, considering how sick she was. She said two things:

1. He said he was so out of his mind that he didn’t really care what was done; Y
2. He said the cold wet socks really felt so good. She said his skin felt like it was on fire…the socks felt good.

So what is this crazy and miraculous treatment? Is named The wet sock treatment for a reason…it’s about wet socks. keep reading…

You will need the following supplies:

• thin cotton socks
• thick wool socks
• frozen water
• a warm bed

Follow these steps to implement this treatment and obtain excellent results:

1. Verify that the patient’s feet are completely dry.
2. Take a pair of thin cotton socks and put them in the coldest, purest water you can get your hands on.
3. Wring out the socks and place them on the patient’s feet.
4. Immediately place THICK WOOL socks over wet socks.
5. Lay the patient in bed, well covered with sheets and blankets.
6. Allow the patient to sleep, preferably overnight.
7. In the morning, check on the patient. You MUST find that the patient’s fever is down AND the patient is drenched in sweat.
8. You should also find that the wet socks are completely dry.

How or why does this work?

Tea Wet sock treatment it is a natural method of stimulating the immune system to fight the flu (or infection that causes fever). Basically, this treatment is a hot compress; this means that the body has to work to warm up the cold socks. The cold makes the immune system go into action. “The body reacts to cold socks by increasing blood circulation, which also stimulates the immune system. You have to ‘rev up’ the immune system so it’s ready to do battle with the affliction or condition,” according to Jamey Wallace, ND, director clinic physician at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health.

A nice side effect of the treatment is that it appears to have a sedative action; many patients report experiencing deeper sleep during treatment.

This treatment is free and safe for all ages. It can be repeated three days in a row to continue obtaining benefits. However, the added benefits will likely pale in comparison to the drastic initial response.

So this winter, put down the pill or syrup bottle and pick up a pair of wet socks!
