Fevers are used by the body in an attempt to weaken invading bacteria and viruses, and make it easier for the body to heal.

You don't want to stop a fever ~ just keep it within the safe zone where it's healing, but not dangerous.

I use my hot tub at 105 degrees to give me fever benefits without the bodily energy expenditure.
