I have these links and the science seems a little spotty. Also, these appear to function as "boosters." http://www.everydayhealth.com/cold-and-flu/zinc-as-a-cold-remedy.aspx http://www.everydayhealth.com/cold-and-flu/echinacea-and-colds.aspx I'm open to posting anything you'd like to send along.

Yes indeed, it is very important to build up our immune systems now! Chiropractic care is one way. A detox fast to get rid of phlegm (which is usually a sign of weak immune system) is another. Or upping your raw juicing and upping vitamins like zinc. Much talk by natural health leaders lately stresses the importance of sunlight and getting vitamin D. Most important- not to rely on antibiotics when you are sick but to instead take natural "antibiotics" like echinacea (but be careful! not just any echinacea will do! you have to ensure it's a quality one consult with an herbalist!), raw garlic is another, also consider researching "colloidal silver" and "Golden Seal" which should only be taken if you are actually sick whereas garlic is also good for both it's also safe as a preventative and echinacea I believe you are supposed to take when you feel a cold/sickness coming on. Feel free to ask me for details, I can share what my research turned up :) I believe chiropractic care is key. Yes indeed, it is very important to build up our immune systems now!
