The double whammy of the standard flu and the swine flu means we need to be extra cautious. What are you doing to help you through the season?

The research I've done suggests 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 Daily. I work with the public, sometimes the very sick public, and all I've managed to come down with so far this year is an upper respiratory condition. I think that is just allergies.

I have definitely been exposed to people with confirmed cases of H1N1 on three or four occasions and have NOT contracted it myself.

I would also highly recommend Colloidal Silver as a Nasal Spray.

Again, I am a Dr. but NOT A PHYSICIAN... This is just what I'm doing this year.

I like the idea of colloidal silver. Also, I use zinc, vitamin c (Chyawanprash - which is an Indian concoction of herbs and gooseberries available in most Indian stores), and 1-2 teaspoons of ginger juice. The ginger juice esp. seems beneficial at the very first symptoms of a cold.

I'm not really doing much differently this season. I normally drink several cups of tea and about half a gallon to a gallon of water a day. I make sure to try and eat a rather varied salad at least once a day. If I'm feeling particularly down I'll pop a coldeeze or two, I think I tend to get kinda low on zinc and they pick me right back up. And always get at least 8 hours of sleep.
