Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Tell your friend to see a Homeopathic practitioner. Homeopathic remedies have no side effects, except to make you feel better since they work *with* the body (promote healing) instead of conventional drugs which work against the body.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Bolek, This may sound really strange, but have her try this. Just lightly rub the temples (sides of the head next to the eyes), up and down really quickly for 20-30 seconds. That adjusts the thalamus (and with eyes closed hypothalamus) and should do a lot to reduce the fever without medication (it also helps to adjust so you can deal with the temperature you're currently in, so if you're cold or hot, rubbing them like that will adjust your body to quit feeling so hot/cold).
