The so-called "normal" body temperature of 98.6 F or 37 C is a statistical average. Different people have different average temperatures, and factors such as physical activity and time of day also affect body temperature.

A fever is usually a sign that something out of the ordinary is happening to your body, and your long-term lack of fever is not an indicator of poor health. However, many scientists believe that fever is part of the body's natural response to an infection, and that treating a low-grade fever may prolong the illness; this may be what your friend is referring to regarding fevers being good for you.
