I have successfully fought off the cold/flu stuff as it started to get me, a couple of times recently, by taking repeated massive doses of Vitamin C + Other Good Ingredients, available in packets you mix with water and drink.
I recommend paying the surcharge for the name brand "Emergen-C" (either raspberry or tangerine flavor) - the generic equivalents are NASTY!! Good luck!

I can feel the warm sickness in my back and neck and radiating outward like dark aching tendrils of infected corruption.
My eyelids are heavy and getting sore. And I can feel the sinus pressure building up like dry electric pepper.
Anyone have any good suggestion to fighting the flu? Any home remedies?
call your doctor, tell him you think you have the flu; they'll get you in today or tomorrow morning, most likely, swab your nose and you'll have an answer. And if it's the flu, they'll give you the anti-flu thing, and nothing else works quite so well. medical practices right now are set up to deal with outbreaks, get you in and treated quickly.
