A PERSONALLY TESTED CURE FOR COLDS AND FLU
(Page 2 of 2)
The magazine article went on to
mention—offhandedly— that when blood
temperature is elevated a few degrees, the viruses cease
their activity.

"That sounds like a fever to me!" I ex. claimed ... and I
remembered that many of the bouts with colds and flu that
I'd had did seem to "cure themselves" soon after a
fever. It seemed to follow that, if I gave myself a fever
before becoming sick enough to get one naturally,
I could stop the destruction of my red cells and,
therefore, cure the illness!
A HOT PRACTICE
I don't remember how long I had to wait before a cold
caught up with me so I could test my idea, but—when I
tried the "heat treatment" out— it worked ... and
it's worked for me every time since then,
In the evening of any day when the first hint of "the bug"
shows up, I inch my way into as hot a tub of water as I can
stand and stay there until my temperature gets up to
102°F. [EDITOR'S NOTE: For safety's sake, the bath
water should be no hotter than 105°F, and one should
not remain in it for longer than 20 minutes.]
It's very difficult to force myself to stay in the hot
water, but I've learned that a drink (that's when lemonade
and honey come in handy ... try taking the beverage hot,
too, if you can stand it) is a great help. Sip and steam,
steam and sip.
Oh, yes! While I'm bathing, my wife piles an extra
blanket or two on the bed. Once I'm "up to temperature", I
dry off, slide into the sack, and sweat.
My wife stays well to her side of the bed, while I doze,
sweat, and keep my temperature high for about four hours.
Gradually, through the night, I reduce the number of
blankets so that, by morning, I'm dry and—behold!
—I feel great. Of course, I don't go out to climb
mountains right away, and I make sure to keep warm for a
day or so ... but I have no sickness.
So there you have it. The "cure" makes sense to me,
and—with hand over heart—I assure you that I
haven't had more than first—day symptoms since I
started taking my hot bath treatments.
One last word about safety: Because —when a person is
immersed in hot water-less blood is available to bring
oxygen to the brain and dizziness can occur, I always ask
my wife to give me a hand as I step out of the tub. And, of
course, such "tender loving care" does its share to ease
the symptoms of the cold, too!
