The Flu and 101.6

So, on Sunday this week my 5 year old slept all day, then on Monday night had a fever of 102.5, on Tuesday it was 103.3 and I don't think it went much past that.  Monday night I began to feel really weak and get pain behind my eyes and get chilly and then spent the night tossing and turning.  Next day every bone in my body hurt, my eyes hurt, my head hurt, you know the routine.  Now everyone in the family (all four of my kids and myself) and down and out with the flu.  The interesting thing is, my temperature got up to 101.6 which is officially the highest temperature that I have had in 4 years since contracting Lyme Disease.  Why is this of signifigance to me?  Well, somewhere I have read that bartonella lowers fevers so every time I have gotten sick with the flu or strep throat in the past 4 years, my fever only got up to a whopping 98.6 - normal!  Which was up from about 97.6 my daily temp.  Well now that I have been taking Buhner's herbs, I get this flu and my temp goes up to 101.6 - the highest it has ever been in years which leads me to believe that the herbs are really helping my immune system fight off disease (which, of course, is exactly what they should be doing).  I am really excited about this, even though, today, 5 days later, I am still feeling pretty yucky with an intense and painful sore throat, cough, headache, chills etc.
