Vitamin D3 (2,000 IU daily)
Vitamin D
is produced in the body by sunlight and regulates the expression of over 2,000 genes, including those of the immune system. Unfortunately, up to 90 percent of people are deficient in vitamin D. Recent research shows that low vitamin D levels are linked to higher rates of cold, flu and respiratory infections. -
Echinacea
(1,000 mg 2–3x daily)
This herb can help your body fight off infections, but it is best to take it at the first sign of illness.
An extract of echinacea was tested in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in 2013. Researchers found that the echinacea effectively treated respiratory tract infections in the short- and long-term, and didn’t cause the same resistance as a popular flu medication, oseltamivir often causes when treating this illness.
A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study conducted in 2000 indicates that drinking five to six cups of echinacea tea per day as soon as upper respiratory symptoms developed, and reducing the number to one cup of tea over a 5-day period, was effective for relieving cold and flu symptoms.
Echinacea acts as an anti-inflammatory, which can help reduce bronchial symptoms of cold and flu. It directly attacks yeast and other kinds of fungus.
Different preparations have different concentrations of echinacea. Some common preparations and dosages include:

Tablets containing 6.78 milligrams of echinacea extract, two tablets three times a day
900 milligrams of echinacea root tincture daily
Five to six cups of echinacea tea on the first day of symptoms, and then 1 cup a day thereafter
- Elderberry (10 mL daily)
It is believed that this herb can deactivate the flu virus and naturally, boost immunity. The flowers and berries of elderberry are said to boost the immune system, treat flu and relieve sinus pain.
Elderberry does seem to attack flu viruses and reduce bronchial inflammation. A preliminary study found that when 15 milliliters of elderberry syrup was taken four times daily for a five-day period, it relieves symptoms of influenza an average of four days earlier than those taking a placebo

- Oregano Oil (500 mg 2x daily)
Oregano Oil
has a powerful antiviral effect. I like to use oregano oil to fight viral infections and although there aren’t studies evaluating the efficacy of oregano on influenza specifically, there is research that indicates the powerful antiviral properties of the essential oil.

- Zinc (50–100 mg daily)
Zinc supports immune function and has an antiviral effect.
It works best when taken at the first sign of illness. Zinc may lessen the symptoms of the cold virus, but excessive amounts aren’t good for you. Zinc pills and sprays do not seem to be effective.
Take 50–100 milligrams of zinc daily to ward off or treat cold and flu symptoms.
- Brewer’s Yeast
This popular supplement contains B vitamins, chromium, and protein. It is used for cold, flu and other respiratory tract infections. In fish, brewer’s yeast stimulates immunity by positively influence the microbiome which may also improve digestive function
Research conducted at the University of Michigan Medical Center found that a yeast supplement was able to reduce cold and flu symptom severity, and lead to significantly shorter duration of symptoms in patients.
- Essential Oils for Flu
Rubbing peppermint and frankincense essential oil into the neck and bottoms of the feet can naturally support the immune system
I also like to use clove oil to protect my body against infection and speed recovery from the flu. Research confirms that clove oil has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
- Chiropractic Care for Flu Prevention
During the 1918 flu epidemic, flu patients that received chiropractic care survived much more readily than those that didn’t. This is because chiropractic care focuses on the health of your nervous system, which can help to boost your immunity.
A 2011 study showed some promise for chiropractic adjustments and their potential to help boost the immune system.
- Probiotics
Restoring the beneficial bacteria in your gut can help boost your immune system considerably.
A lab study conducted in 2017 showed that a particular strain of probiotics, Bacillus bacteria, demonstrated anti-influenza activity, with complete inhibition of the influenza virus.
A 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials evaluated the effects of probiotics and prebiotics on the immune response to the influenza vaccination. The results showed that participants who took probiotics and prebiotics showed significant improvements in the H1N1 and H3N2 strain protection rates. This suggests that taking probiotics may elevate your immunity.

Get Fresh Air. Indoor winter environments can be a source of concentrated toxins and germs. The dry air we inhale as we heat our homes during the winter makes airways more reactive and sensitive to viruses.
An added bonus to time spent outdoors in the winter is the extra bit of sunlight you receive. -
Top Foods for Flu Recovery
Also, these are the best foods to consume while you recover from the flu.
Light, easy-to-digest foods.
Include soups with bone broth, cooked vegetables or herbal teas to help with digestion. Don’t force yourself to eat.
Water:
Adequate hydration is the key to flushing out the virus from your system. Fluid helps your body to flush bacteria and viruses from your system. Drink approximately half your body weight in ounces daily of either spring water or reverse osmosis filtered water. Green and black teas are potent immune system boosters and antioxidants. Try to drink at least eight ounces every two hours.

Hot pineapple tea is tasty too I like mine with decaf green tea.

" -RE Posted from my friend TY on MEWE.ComIn November/December we had a stomach Flu twice in 2 weeks and it was horrible! The Schools in Grand Junction, Colorado closed from November 22nd till December 5th. They have to disinfect classrooms and all common areas. 100 Teachers were out sick and over 1,000 children.
With uncertainty about this COVID-19, it is best to take every precaution necessary to keep you and your family safe. I am not a doctor, nor a professional, so please check with your doctor before trying any remedy. I say this because I had a reaction to an antibiotic and started swelling in my face and throat. I had taken this antibiotic most of my life due to the fact that I can't take Pennicillan.
Be safe, be healthy!
