=== Question # 1 - Colour Therapy () ===
<blockquote>Love your show (Jay, you're Awesome) :) Just wanted to send you guys a laugh, It's called colour therapy and invokes everything from Chakras to Dowsing. http://www.colourtherapyhealing.com/ It brought up an interesting thought for me, I've always been told that red makes you hungry, blue makes you tired, etc. Do you know if any of this is true? I've tried to find out but it's hard to wade through all the crap on the internet. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful show you put out, it does many people the world of good. Caitlin</blockquote>
