I'm convinced spicy Asian noodle soups are a magical remedy for most ailments, body and soul alike.

I had almost the same experience a number of years ago when I got swine flu real bad. 103+ degree fever, barely left my bed for days, blinding headache, aches and chills constantly, couldn't eat anything. My wife then got me a pipping hot bowl of spicy pho and within minutes The snot started flowing, my breathing opened up and I started feeling better.
