Has anyone got any information about a "cold cure" used in Israel that 
consists of controlled breathing of hot air or steam? Supposedly the 
heat either weakens the viruses or bolsters the body's immune system 
(as a fever does) or both.  I have heard the customary story that it 
is being kept out of the USA by the FDA or the medical establishment 
or some such conservative conspiracy.  There are more quacks around 
these days than you can shake a caduceus at, from Iridologists to 
Reflexologists, and I am suspicious of new "cures", but, as everyone 
knows, "if you read it on the net, it must be so", so does anyone 
know about this?
