Hydrothermotherapy and Interferon production
Theory: elevating one’s body temperature increases the innate immune system by stimulating more interferon production. Resulting in the ability to ward off the effects of a virus. Need to reach 39 C for extended time. Recently a study discovered that the average body temp is 36.59 C. it varies through the day.
My personal experience: (Not medical advice) Apparently an ancient Indian remedy for illness was to “sweat it out”. I’ve never owned a sauna but whenever I had the beginning of something I would go bundle up in extra sleep clothes, a touque, more blankets and go to bed. Curl up so that I got maximum temp increase. Took no ASA or anything else. Sleep didn’t always come. It was to elevate my body temp. I can tell you it works for me. The key is do this early. A controlled fever can be good for the innate immune system to fight off viral infection.
I sweated it out in bed. After a good period of time (6-8 hours) the fever broke. Showered up and I would say that I was 95% better. Took the next day off. Back to life. A total of two days and better. I’ve used this since the early 90’s. Possibly only works for viral infections. Bacterial, not sure. I believe most of my illnesses were viral.
This is a good video about what I had experienced. I did not know the mechanism until now.
A sauna or the technique I use may be the answer to combating Covid. Hot tubs result in soaking in chlorine or bromine and not recommended for long periods of time.
It all comes down to a healthy functioning innate immune system. Repeated boosters are not the answer. Neither would be taking the shots in the first place.
Do your own research.
PS: This method should not to be used for children for various reasons. Apparently they have a higher level of natural Interferon and are less affected by Covid.
with a fever, most allopathic doctors advise to take panadol, or some other medication, to lower body temperature
bad move
With you both. Raise your temps, don’t lower. (To a point, like 101F or 39C)
The most important detail was something along the lines of a woolen hat.
But anything to keep from LOSING heat off your head.
To sleep I usually also needed fresh cooler air to breathe.
Agree that it works for some illnesses, not all.
