[Sca-cooks] Re: Invalid food

[ysabeau]

When I was really sick with strep throat, the only thing that I 
could handle was ICE COLD celestial seasonings lemon zinger tea 
with no sugar...watered down quite a bit more than I usually do. 
The cold helped ease the soreness of my throat. I had to go 
through three rounds of antibiotics before finding one that 
worked...I lost 15 lbs or so over the course of three weeks.
