I’m knocking on wood. I used to get the flu regularly, and it was always over the holidays. I don’t think I missed more than a couple of days of work all my life.

But I haven’t had a real flu attack for several years now, and only one mild stomach bug in the past couple of years.

Might be the flu shots, but I’ve always gotten those. Might be the vitamin D3 tablets I’ve been taking. I’m not a doctor, so do your own research, but Vitamin D3 is said to be very helpful against the flu, especially in the winter when you don’t get any sun.

Again, knock on wood.

Don't talk to me: I've been taking 2000-5000 IU of D3 daily for several years now.

And during the first few days of this I took 30 mg zinc, 15 *grams* of C, and 8000-12000 IU of D daily.

Didn't help.

Cheers!
