i’ve observed many times where when people get a  fever they automatically want to get rid of this  

fever and that is a big mistake now let’s just  kind of give you the basics the normal temperature  

of your body should be between 97.8 to 99 degrees  fahrenheit or that’s 36.5 degrees celsius to 37.2  

degrees celsius and this can vary a little bit  depending on your age if you’re male or female  

etc now babies and children generally have a  higher temperature it’s normal for a newborn  

baby to have a temperature of 99.5 fahrenheit or  37.5 celsius and as we age we actually get cooler  

someone in their 80s could have a temperature  of 93.5 degrees fahrenheit and be completely  

normal the problem with that is when they get  a fever that temperature could be actually what  

is normal for someone that is younger and the  purpose of a fever is to fight pathogens to  

help you decrease the duration of an infection  so if you instantly go to ibuprofen and tylenol  

and try to break the fever you’re going to end up  with the infection a lot longer than you should  

also a fever helps mobilize and increase your  white blood cells so it’s quite fascinating  

there’s many things to do to speed up this cycle  of an infection one is to take the right nutrients  

now with children i found if you give them  calcium like calcium lactate it seems to help  

them overcome an infection very fast and it’s been  something that i’ve recommended to reduce fevers  

naturally which is really just improving their  ability to overcome this infection and in addition  

to calcium trace minerals are really important and  the other thing that’s very important is fasting  

apparently when you get an infection you lose your  appetite and you should just basically go for a  

period of time without eating because that’s going  to actually strengthen your immune system big time  

but let’s just kind of go through the different  age ranges and when you should call your doctor  

if you have an infant younger than three months if  the temperature is over 100.4 degrees fahrenheit  

you might want to check with your doctor if  your child is between 3 months to 3 years if it  

goes over 102.2 degrees fahrenheit check with  your doctor now between the ages of 4 and 18  

if the temperature gets over 104 fahrenheit you  might want to check with your doctor and if you’re  

over 18 and it’s over 105 degrees  fahrenheit check with your doc but  

generally if it’s below that i would do  things to strengthen the immune system  

and not automatically trying to turn off this  fever with a medication instead i would recommend  

getting in a hot bath wearing a lot of clothes  when you go to sleep so you can sweat it off that  

always seems to work very very nicely now some  interesting points about temperature in general  

when a person is lying the temperature of  their forehead their eyes and their neck go up  

yet the temperature of their nose goes down so the  next time when someone is potentially lying to you  

go ahead and put your hand on their forehead  while they’re answering your question is there  

anything that you’re eating that you shouldn’t  be eating actually don’t mention my name when  

you ask that question now when you consume red  hot chili peppers your temperature actually goes  

up so one thing i like about red hot chili peppers  in fact peppers in general any type of peppers not  

only can they actually help increase a fever  but they’re loaded with vitamin c so any hot  

and spicy peppers is a very good thing to take  when you’re going through an infection now this  

next one is a bit of a side note um people tend  to sleep better in a colder room and generally  

when you smoke you increase your temperature and  i don’t recommend smoking if you have a fever  

but the point is when you get a fever you  actually want to enhance the fever by staying hot  

hey before you go real quick i have a course  entitled how to bulletproof your immune system  

it’s a free course i want you to take it and  here’s why here’s you here is your environment

everyone is focused on this over  here avoiding your environment but  

what about here what about strengthening  your immune system that’s what’s missing  

this course will show you how to bulletproof  yourself and so you can tolerate and resist  

your environment much better by strengthening  your own immune system i put a link down
