Reading up on a few sayings and their real meanings ... “Starve a cold, feed a fever.” This is both a misquote and potentially bad medical advice. The quote dates back to around 1574, when writer John Withals claimed, “Fasting is a great remedie of feuer.” However, the original version of the quote suggests the opposite: “If you starve a cold, you’ll have to feed a fever.” So if you’re hungry, please eat, whether you are sick or not. Food is good for you and wants to help.
