she can sweat out a fever... but a cold? never heard that one...
Not to sound like a know it all but the body sweats when you have a fever to lower the temperature it has nothing to do with getting rid of the fever.
lol.. a fever is literally the rise of tempeture... so tell me how lowering the temp isn't getting rid of the high temp aka fever?
I'm no rocket scientist... but... it's sounds logically correct... I could definitely be wrong... now getting rid of what CAUSED the fever is another conversation..
A fever is the bodies reaction to a pathogen, our bodies then sweat to lower the temperature back to normal.
The pathogens ie viruses and bacteria are killed by our immune systems and then filtered out by the body through the liver, colon and kidneys.
smh... read what u just wrote... our bodies sweat to lower and rid a fever...
we can speed the process up by soaking in a hot bath. put aan amount of clothes on.. etc...
smh. Ur arguing with what ur saying... cause I'm literally saying the same... just in different words. chill dude.
Sorry, I feel like an idiot now 😔
I was arguing with someone else earlier about this.
👌u good.
this could work out actually and most opinions explain it perfectly
Sometimes our body naturally develops a high temperature in order to get rid of an illness, but forcing it to heat up won't help.
You can't sweat out a cold because it does not remove the virus that causes the cold. Just give it time, the cold will go away
I say let her do it. The least she could be doing is place-boing herself into getting better. As long as she is not actively putting herself in danger let her act crazy.
Works for me. If I want to get rid of crud fast, I put on a sweater and jogging pants. Turn up the temp to an unbearable temp and get under the covers.
maybe she has a fever and feel cold. Better take her tempeture.
Personally don't think you "sweat it out" so much as you feel infinitely better when you get huffing and puffing and working up a sweat.
If you know meds that will heal a cold, please, inform us.
All I know is waiting till it's over, in maximum comfort.
There are natural ways. You can boil water, then pour it into a glass and add camomile in it. After that put the cup on the table, take a towel. Look down on the cup, cover your back of the head and neck with the towel, and breathe in the water with camomile for 10-15 minutes. Just be careful when the water is hot, when you think it is too hot, don't breathe it in until its a little colder. This method works and my mom always told me to do this when I was younger. There is an another method: eat a lot of vitamin C. You can squeeze one or two lemons into a cup and then drink the whole glass of lemon juice/acid. The cold will go away in no time.
@ZomboCom That's a "feel good" way. I don't think it cures but if you believe it you'll more easily get over the cold. Others prefer punch. Same effect.
When you get handed a lemon, make lemonade, as they say. :)
It always helped me though :) However it won't work for everyone probably.
@ZomboCom Many people get helped by this:

Don't overdose!
I mean, placebo is empty. It doesn't do anything, it's just peoples' brains that do the job
But still, the method 1 I told is effective. It is not a placebo method. After 4 minutes of breathing in that stuff your nose is not stuffed anymore. Another 5 minutes later you start coughing very hard until you spit out the phlegm. After another 5 minutes cold goes away pretty much.
Sweating out a sickness is not possible. If anything, heating up her body to the point of sweating would most likely make her sicker.
you can sweat out a cold but she needs rest and fluids 2 best solution would be for her to get bed rest with a heavy blanket and a pitcher of water
yes, kinda... viruses have a low tolerance for heat and raising your body temperature is actually the natural way to cure a cold. that is what a fever is basically
I heard it works but it never did for me. Maybe she's done it before. Most people use a sauna too
you can help your body fight the cold. it's more of an exorcise thing. the sweating is just reaction. body heats up, body sweats to cool off. what happens internally for this to happen is a whole different shish kabob.
it's true, when you sweat you're getting rid of toxins and bacteria, it has helped me
No your Kidneys and Liver are responsible for removing toxins from your body not sweat.
You can't sweat a virus out of your body, your immune system stops the pathogens and then the dead white blood cells are removed from the body through the blood by your kidneys and liver.
well it sure works for me
Sweating will just dehydrate you, your body increases its temperature when you are sick to help fight the virus. Viruses dont replicate as well in higher temperatures.
You need bed rest and plenty of water when you are sick.
No! You cannot sweat out a cold! Sorry, but that's BS!
Thank you dr. adam.
@Regular1 my name isn't Adam. It's my first initial and my last name. I'm not a doctor, but I am a nurse.
And you're pretty hot too. I would bone you.
Eh its not hurting anyone, just make sure she keeps hydrated i guess lol.
Haha i've heard of it before but I don't know if it works
It doesn't it is an old wives tale
@NightOwl_23 you are a old wives tale
What?
@NightOwl_23 you are a what?
Why did you say, Im an old wives tale?
@NightOwl_23 yes, I did say that and I will not take it back
Why?
@NightOwl_23 because I have had it with you walking around thinking you are so cool oh look at me everybody im nightowl dont I looks so cool look at me everybody!
thats you by the way
Okay then, I dont but whatever.
@NightOwl_23 have a great day
just kidding dont have a great day
Lol she's ridiculous and looks ridiculous. Thats an old wives tale. Just rest and fluids.
It's loads of bullshit and it can make you more sick with dehydration.
well she looks stupid. BUT yeah that works. its not safe because it can spike the fever to dangerous heights but it definitely works.
Your girlfriend is crazy.
You can not "sweat out a cold".
At most, it'll help your aches and pains.
usually it works for me, but I think it's the added heat that does it and the sweat is simply a biproduct.
Thats ridiculous just tell her to take some decongestant and drink plenty of water, she will be fine in a few days.
I think its funny that people believe this myth lol. It isn't possible to sweat a virus out of your body lol. The cold virus is eliminated through sneezing and coughing.
Viruses and bacteria are also removed via your digestive system, so your liver, kidneys and intestines.
You should make her do sports
in that suit? she would pass out lol...
Yes, in that suit. Make her sweat
lol, she's crazy enough to listen to me haha, what should I make her do exactly?
Condition exercises, jumping, running, etc
yes it does work as you can see the purple stuff (the virus) coming out of her
No your immune system, liver and kidneys get rid of a virus.
@NightOwl_23 i just went unannon, recognize me mr. liver and kidneys expert?
No but my mom is a nurse and, Im going to school to become one. I got a 90% in Biology and my best units were Anatomy, Cells and Viruses.
@NightOwl_23 blah blah blah
@imbored2252 Say that all you want, I know what, Im talking about you can't deny facts. You clearly haven't taken basic science or biology courses.
@NightOwl_23 dude, are you completely oblivious or is this some kind of act? its like you have no sense of who is serious and who isn't.
Me neither lol
is your girlfriend wearing a drysuit around the house
nvm that looks more like a wetsuit
No? A virus can't be ''sweat'' out. it may clear your nose or whatever but it won't be gone
Well it might help a bit, you get a fever cause your body can fight it better at higher temperatures. But it's better to be as comfortable as possible even if it lasts a tiny bit longer
I have heard of this and I think it does work to some extent since you are increasing your body temperature to kill what ever virus is causing the cold in your system
viruses stop assembly at a higher body temperature. so sweating it out will have an effect
It absolutely is possible. Humans used to do it all the time prior to medicine becoming so widespread, and it's a very useful survival technique.
No your immune system, kidneys and liver are what get rid of pathogens.
I didn't provide a technical answer, and what you state does not even remotely contradict anything I said.
The increase in body temperature helps but your immune system does most of the work.
yeah it's totally possible dude. works with me all the time
She is a**hole, you should leave her right know. But I cannot see sad girls, so you should give me her number by the way
A fever kills virus and bacteria but making it to hot for them but what she is doing is setting herself up for what stroke
No your immune system kills bacteria and inactivates viruses, viruses cannot be killed because they technically aren't living and need a host cell to replicate.
Viruses are DNA and RNA in a protein shell.
The fever just slows the virus
Yes you can sweat out a cold!
So many people agree with you, but I'm still not convinced. Don't you think it's not good for her to wear that outfit for hours on end?
Do you even know a difference between an infection and a virus? You can't sweat out a Viral infection aka Cold/Flu...
I don't think that can work
Yes, it is very possible to sweat out a cold.
Silly but it's true haha
it's definitely possible
Yes she's insane, you can sweat a flu out though.
its possible but I don't know how effective
What the fuck is she even doing?
Trying to "sweat out her cold"... yeah that's what I said. Is it just an old wives tale?
This is... crazy. What the fuck?
hence my "is my girlfriend crazy" ... her mom and grandma swear by this technique so she bought into it... she's been like that for like 5 hours now lol...
There is no hope.
:(, what can I tell her to get her to change?
I don't know! Show her articles that disprove whatever crazy thing she's doing?
Lmfao wtf is this? She's going to pass out
I know, I thought it was silly too 😂.
@NightOwl_23 poor girl
She should just take some decongestant and drink plenty of water.
@NightOwl_23 yep
I know, she's crazy, she didn't pass out yesterday but she is doing it again today lol... it can't be good for her to do that right? She swears by it, and most people on here agree with her!
Lol just take her for a run instead she of that
You dont agree with her do you?
@NightOwl_23 I don't agree with her, I think she's crazy, most people on here think it will work though lol
Did you tell her to take that thing off, take decongestant and drink lots of water?
@NightOwl_23 nope
No, actually I feel like this method can work.
it's kinda funny most of the girls on here are like "yeah that could work" and all the guys agree with me that she's crazy lol
all girls are crazy lol
Hahahha my mom says the same
Sex probably works better to be honest
Yes she is crazy congratulations.
Yeah you actually can she is right.
it is possible to sweat out the cold.
The idea does sound familiar.
I think the pic and the whole question is dumb
All bitches is crazy.
That's adorable! Lucky you 😢
probably and is that a costume?
she's got a nice figure
thats funny as fuck hahaha
what the hell is this?
It's true 😂
🙄I've offended four people with two words.
Heeeey
I think people can't understand sarcasm 😅
The more down votes the better 🙆🏻
