I actually buy Emergen-C from time to time, not so much because I think it will cure my ailments, but because a little extra vitamin C in my diet can't hurt. And if you're already sick, it's not going to make you worse. As for the immune boosters, myself and a colleague have had fairly conclusive results from this stuff called Kick-Ass Immune Activator from Wish Gardens. It tastes bad (drink it with OJ), but seems to get you over the hump faster. It has echinacea, osha root and a host of other herbs and organic junk. I've not tried it with the flu, just colds (hopefully I won't have to anytime soon). I've also used Zicam a few times, and it may have made my recovery faster, but it's just hard to say for sure. I've heard Zicam has caused people to lose their sense of smell, so be wary if your olfactory glands are precious to you. Bottom line, the best two things you can do to get better are get lots of sleep and drink a ton of WATER.
