Learning to Fight the Flu First!

As my friends know, I always get the Flu around this time of year. I can remember going to nationals, and being so sick that I could not get out of bed after competing. However this year I decided to wage war against this nasty little sickness!!! My boss talked me into getting a flu shot back in the fall. We give them at work on one Saturday during the fall, and it's free with my works insurance. However, it took her all morning to get me to do it. I always believed that the virus was live, but I learned that it is dead. So you will not get the flu, by just getting the shot. So far so good, no flu.
However, sickness is once again going around at work. So, today I stopped by to talk to the pharmacist at work. My question to him was, "What's the best thing to fight the flu, or flu like symptoms?" Now, you must picture this. I was standing behind the counter reading all the locked up over the counter drugs, wondering which was the best. To my surprise he suggested Sambucol. It was created by a virologist, and it has been clinically tested. Sambucol is a black elderberry immune system booster. Basically a dietary supplement. However, he told me that elderberry extract boost your immune system, and taking it as directed will decease the days of your flu symptoms in half. Well, I thought why not, so I bought it. Just in case you are wondering, yes it taste awful, but in the end it will be worth it. I am not getting sick this time!
