Well, I generally get a non-paleo flu shot, but I still normally get sick
at least twice each winter with some kind of horrible upper respiratory
thing. I think it has something to do with working at a large university
around a lot of students who carry germs.
However, this year I have been well ALL WINTER, even though I have been
exposed to many many cold and flu viruses. I can't remember the last year
(it's probably been at least 10 years ago) I made it through January
without having to take at least 3 days off work to recover from whatever I
had, but this year I've worked straight through and it's already February 4.
I attribute part of it to diet and part of it to the combination of
vitamins and supplements I take daily.
