Especially if you have the Flu. Your body needs all the help it can get to fight the invaders.

Take Vit C. (To avoid and heal) 2-3000mg per day to avoid and 4-6000mg to heal. Use Plant Cell Derived Vit C, not synthetic from drug companies.

Exercise by walking or other gentle aerobic exercise to improve oxygen content of your cells. Oxygen is essential for your immune system. If you cannot exercise then take OxyMoxy enzyme supplement to improve oxygen absorption.

Take Garlic. Every day, at least 2-3 cloves or high quality garlic capsules (not cheap ones). Studies show it strengthens the immune system better than Echinacea??? (New studies show Echinacea may not be very effective). 

Lower Stress. Studies show you are twice as likely to catch a virus if you are tired and stressed. B-Complex sublingual (HomoCysteine) is shown in studies to be a fast way to lower stress.

Take a good multi-spectrum vitamin and mineral formulation to ensure all of the critical nutrients are in place to provide synergistic support. See Power Juice 91 Nutrients.
