Most definately-feed a cold , starve a fever

I have a fever and a cold right now. But have been feeding my cold every hour, and sleeping every 3 hrs. for the fever. I feel much better, thank you! The majik of tea, food, rest, and spiritual quotes are healing me gradually. I should be all healthy by sat. or sun. thank you for your concern. Now go feed yourself, before you get a cold yourself-and quit smoking.
