Interesting, because when I was 14 I had a terribly high fever and my old grandmother told me to get in bed and cover myself completely with blankets so I would sweat. I thought she was crazy telling me that, but after spending over an hour sweating profusely, it broke the fever, and I felt much better.
Resteemed, upvoted and shared. This post is earning a decent sum! :)
Yeah, it is the fact that to break the fever and how bad the fever makes you feel, that tells me that the "cooking the bugs" theory is wrong. I am quite sure fevers are caused by the pathogen hacking the temperature to make it more viable. That is, something that certain bacteria or viruses produces causes the cooling circuit to become insensitive and by forcing temperatures higher the cooler is turned back on and the pathogen dies in a cooler body.
It isn't just one, obviously. When I was reading about colds and flu, it said there is more than 100 distinct bacteria and viruses involved.

I wonder what it is that the viruses and bacteria produce that causes that, or if there has been any medical research conducted about it.
I'm thinking some medical research and medicine is a bit of a scam. A simple example is acid reflux - heartburn. How much money is spent on products to help with that yearly, and yet I've known for a long time now that the fastest and most effective way to end heartburn is by swallowing a large spoon of plain yellow mustard. It hurts some going down, but it works within a minute and beats everything currently on the market being sold.
Sometimes I think the medical establishment doesn't really look for a total cure to anything, but for a way to provide only partial relief products that cause dependency and that will give them recurring income.

In every fixing business there is a certain amount of operators who create problems. Microsoft's terrible software makes so much work for people like me, for example.
It is extremely unethical and I hope that blockchains will be a part of eliminating fraudulent make-work by fixing things.
