I have always had good luck with Black Elderberry Extract. It can be
found
in most health food stores and is listed as a cough medicine. It is
believed to stop the virus from reproducing, and the patient is over
the
cold/flu much faster. Anyway, it works for me and mine. I haven't had
a
cold or flu for several years, and my family (when I can convince them
to
take the medicine morning and evening) doesn't suffer more than a
couple of
days.
