[OK]

I take elderberry herbal capsules and a zinc tablet at the first hint of cold or flu. Haven't had either in two years.

Good for you!! Apparently you have read about the work of the Israeli virologist who developed Sambucol from elderberry extract! A few FReepers have commented on it with very good results!

Another one is Oil of Oregano. Not the Mexican sage that is passed off as seasoning and called "oregano". This is the more expensive wild mountain-grown oregano from the Mediterranean.

I take two Whoppers and a fifth of vodka at the first sign of a cold or flu also, cold and flu free for 5 years.
