- Stress and anxiety can cause elevation in body temperature
Good point, I've suspected that, but in the past I've never had an elevated body temperature during anxious high stress periods. So it sounds like a weak connection in my case.
- Elevated core body temperature (low grade and intermittent) has been reported in one study I read to last for a maximum of 20 weeks, mean 10 weeks after acute illness.
I'll be turning into a couch potato if this lasts that long.
When you are feeling like you have a fever, have you checked your temperature? and what is it? State what method you used to measure too (ear, mouth, underarm etc...)
It varies from 37.1 C to 37.7 C (that'd be around 98.5-100 in fahrenheit). I measure underarm.
Hi
I would suggest that you should consider both 1. stimulation of the immune system and 2. Cleansing of the body, both with natural means. There are a number of excellent herbal formulas that stimulate the immune system(garlic, ge132, echinacea etc.), but Vitamin C in megadoses really works and has been clinically verified more than many of the herbal methods. See: http://www.orthomed.com/ Also take a look at Swanson Ultra EPICOR High-Metabolite Immunogens at http://www.swansonvitamins.com the full link is:

Although the narrow view is that the Gerson therapy is only for treating cancer, it works because of its excellent ability to cleanse the body (especially of the toxic conditions that suppress the immune system's ability to fight cancer). There are other excellent cleansing methods available, but this one is quite simple to do yourself. Although I do not have cancer, I do it on a periodic basis and find it to be very helpful:

I hope that this is helpful.

I already take quite a number of immune system boosters from vit C, E, selenium, CoQ10, zinc, inositol, echinacea, probiotics to calcium+magnesium (if these could be considered immune-enhancing). Plus I regularly use infrared sauna (2 times a week), so I should be cleansed to the bone already. Thanks for the input though.
Take a fever lowering drug like paracetamol and see what happens. It works if there are pyrogens causing pyrexia.
It works, only for couple of hours. But my stomach doesn't agree by making all sorts of wierd noises after ingesting it.
