For those of you who have children, you will fully understand my following statement… “There is nothing more terrifying 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 of more than 104 degrees (up to 102 or 103 is common in small children – not so much in adults), well, that child would be hot to the touch, listless, and could have convulsions, and the doctors’ offices are closed! I think the scariest part about parents is that they don’t have control, they can’t fixed that.

Conventional medicine generally directs parents to uncover the patient, perform ice baths, and take ibuprofen and paracetamol. In addition, 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 around; therefore, adults dehydrate rapidly. 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?
  • racing heartbeat
  • Low blood pressure
  • fast breathing
  • In severe cases, delirium.

As a child, I always took fever-reducing medicine, put ice packs on my neck, wrists, and chest, and waited. The aggravating thing was that the fever lasted for days. When I was older I started seeing a naturopath and she recommended me “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, unable to eat, and began hallucinating. I suggest the wet sock treatment to my sister. We laugh at doing something like that to a sick person. But she said 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 overnight and she’s celebrating Thanksgiving with the family.” I asked her if she minded the treatment, considering how sick she was. She said two things:

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

So what is this crazy miracle treatment? Is named Wet sock treatment for a reason…it’s all 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 get great 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 access.
  3. Drain the socks and place them on the patient’s feet.
  4. Immediately put 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 the patient. You MUST find that the patient’s fever has dropped AND that the patient is drenched in sweat.
  8. You should also find that 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 causes the immune system to 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 battle the affliction or condition,” according to Jamey Wallace, ND, director clinic physician at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health.

A pleasant side effect of the treatment is that it seems 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 additional benefits will likely pale in comparison to the dramatic initial response.

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