I think there's something in what you say. When hit with a virus the body goes into defence and generates a high temperature which viruses can't survive. Our modern way of dealing with this is to take drugs to lower the temperature thereby fighting the body's attempts to cure itself. Why do we do this? I've asked all sorts of people over the years and only had answers that relate to pain relief. Are we so fixated on avoiding discomfort and pain that we are happy to fight our own defence systems?

If I contract the virus I'd be happy to be put in a sauna with a load of other sufferers as an experiment.
