    Lots and lots of Vit C, you could also try Vit B Co; it wont really help with the flu but it will give you body a boost.

    Flu - definately excessive amt of Vit. C / water <<

    Also if u want some rest and pain relieve (Tylenol / Advil) do a decent job

    Try oscillococcinum it's a homeopathic treatment that knocks the flu out fast, it lessens the symptoms while you still have it too.

    More info can be found at the website http://www.boironusa.com/ there is even a place where you can find a place to buy it...

    Hope you feel better! :)

    Hey thanks for the advice! I went out and bought some Vitamin C and Vitamin B Complex and started taking it. The next day I felt like I had tons of energy at work. I've still got a runny noise and slight sore throat but I do fell 100* better.:D

    Next year, get a flu shot. You get a little achy for a day or two but I have been taking one for about 14 years (maybe 10 shots over that time) and haven't had the flu and have less colds since I am not weakened by flu.

    Before you go to bed...

    2 shots of bourbon + lemon juice + honey stick it in the microwave to get it nice and warm. It is going to taste like arse going down but it helps :) You should sweat it all out throught eh night. Hell throw some tea into it too...

    Call me in the mourning :)

    Oh btw, I picked up a cold myself; though not anywhere near as severe as the cold; none the less; bourbon is good! :)
