body temperature

My name is Matthew Cormier, and today I'm here to present my review article on the decline of human body temperatures happening around the world and the implications on the chronic illness epidemic.

The title of my paper is The Global Decline of Human Body Temperature, Evidence for a Metabolic and Immunological Crisis, and it's published in the latest issue of the Journal of Independent Medicine.

For over a century, the statistical average for human body temperature was 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, but we've been seeing a steady decline, and the new average is 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit.

We're all getting colder.

In the same time frames that our body temperatures have been declining, the rates of chronic illness have been rapidly rising.

Currently, 50% of children and 70% of adults now meet the criteria for having one chronic illness.

A person's body temperature is an accurate biomarker of immune activity and metabolic function.

That's why it's known as a vital sign.
