Lord, bless him. It's bad enough to be sick, worse to be sick and have to go to work, but I imagine it's even worse to be sick, be a head of state, and have to take a trip. All I want when I am sick is to put on my jammies and crawl into my own bed.

Praying he gets well very soon!!

Amen

Don't suppose it has anything to do with todays

news out of Iran?????

God is in control. He may have sent this light virus for who knows what reason- Perhaps Netanyahu wasn't meant to travel to Germany right now.
Praying for his reovery and health and for God to use Him in ways that will bless him and allow him to see the Lord.

Same here, Musician! Praying for Bibi!

[mom4Yehoshua]

Oh no! I prayed for him, but I need to be more specific now.

[SoularPowered]

If I had his job, I'd be sick too!

Praying for you, Bibi!

[Mitsy]

Praying for Bibi's recovery. Amen

Obviously the Lord didn't want Him to go to Germany.

I pray he gets well. No fun being sick. Stuff a cold, starve a fever.

Could have saved his life. Who can know but God? I imagine being PM of Israel would put you on a bunch of people's hate list, let alone being a hawk in a liberal leaning world demanding you to essentially stop existing.

I pray Lord a speedy recovery and the continued protection of God over this man who is the leader of Your people Father. May it be so.

OFF TOPIC...actually it's the other way around, starve a cold feed a fever. You loose more calories with a fever than a cold...so you feed the fever...lol

Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold'

The adage is "Starve a fever, feed a cold." It makes sense if you think about having the flu vs. a cold. A flu is an intense reaction that takes a lot of metabolic activity. Digestion is a demanding task. As a fever is usually short lived (1-3 days), not eating may be a better way of allowing your body to contribute the maximum amount of metabolic activity to recovery. If the fever lasts longer, then maintaining adequate available energy may becomes a problem. Natural doctors recommend diluted vegetable (preferred) or fruit juice (unsweetened) for energy during an illness.

A cold lasts 7-14 days. As the infection primarily involves the mucous membranes of the head and neck, systemic challenges aren't as pronounced. As the system isn't as stressed as with a flu, there's less need to reduce demands on the digestive system. It stands to reason that, even if you're eating with a cold, less demanding foods (hard to digest foods, lots of food, complex foods) will be more supportive of the body as a whole.

If your body is a furnace, food is the fuel. Simple foods are more like gasoline, complex foods more like green wood. You don't want to dampen the fire, and you do have to feed it. Our bodies have sufficient reserves to manage 3 days of light activity without adverse effects (assuming that we're otherwise healthy) A week of fasting in the winter (the normal time for colds and flus) isn't recommended anywhere that I know of.

Hello JWX2, I know what you mean. In todays world it's a bit tough to add the element of suprise. Maybe tough to add the element of suprise has always been tough....no doubt.

When the element of suprise happens ...it will seem like the obvious!
