The flu H1N-whatever flu scare three years ago had everyone running out to get Oscillococcinum. The company was sued for $30 million because it had no active ingredients and did nothing for the flu. A kids' flu med, Kids Relief, is also a scam.

Your best bet against the flu is to receive the flu vaccine (this year, it contains the 2009 pandemic H1N1 strain, seasonal H3N2 strain, and one of the B lineages, Yamagata IIRC). If you start showing symptoms of flu, you should optimally start taking an antiviral within 48 hours.

Anything "homeopathic" is a scam. Those "homeopathic remedies" are so diluted that the chance of finding a molecule of active ingredient is orders of magnitude less than the chance of winning the Mega Millions or Powerball. People buying those are basically paying premium prices for a small bottle of water or buffer.
