FEVERS: Don’t suppress. SUPPORT. 
Here’s what actually helps the fever do its job faster and safer (all backed by science and real-world use):
- Vitamin C — massive doses (1,000–5,000 mg or more every couple to few hours, liposomal or ascorbic acid to bowel tolerance). Viruses hate it. Studies show it cuts duration and severity dramatically.
- Vitamin D3 — 50,000 IU first day (with K2 and magnesium may be helpful), then 10,000–20,000 IU/day. Fever + infection burns through D like crazy. Low D = longer, worse illness.
- Zinc — 50–100 mg/day (with food so no nausea). Stops viral replication cold.
- Elderberry syrup — high-dose (1–2 tbsp every 2–3 hrs first 48 hrs). Proven to shorten flu by 3–4 days.
- Colloidal silver (real electro-colloidal, 10–20 ppm) — at least 1–2 oz every few hours first day. Kills bacteria/viruses on contact. (Yes, the good stuff works — the acid-made junk is what gives it a bad name.)
- Bone broth / chicken soup — YES, Grandma was right. The cysteine in it acts like NAC, thins mucus, feeds gut, calms inflammation.
- Garlic — raw crushed or in soup. Allicin is a natural antibiotic/antiviral.
- Warm teas — ginger, peppermint, thyme, oregano — all antimicrobial and help sweat it out.
- Warm baths with Epsom salt — pulls toxins, relaxes, supports detox without dropping temp too much.
- Sleep & darkness — melatonin skyrockets during fever, helps kill cancer cells and pathogens. No screens, dark room, let it ride.
