There was an article years ago I read in my pulmonary specialists office where the Israelis did a study on dry heat to treat cold viruses. It shortened the cold by a LOT.
They had people get under a cover with a electric heater and turned it on high. They breathed that heat in and it broke up the congestion faster than any over the counter drug on the market at that time.
That was WAY back in the early 80s I read that and never forgot it.
I read just today to drink warm liquids, not cold beverages or eat ice, or ice cream while you have the flu.
Dry heat.....bring on the Arizona hot weather.

This works because many chemical reactions run faster at higher temperatures and your body repairing itself or fighting infection is a chemical process. That may be the reason many people spike a fever when infected. The body is attempting to go into overdrive to repair itself.
