This year I have used Lomatium/Osha Compound by Eclectic Institute. The Lomatium is used to kill the virus- colds, flu, chicken pox, ect. Does not boost immune system. Worked great. It is made with organic grape alcohol. Although I did not call the compay, the health food store (GF knowledgable) recomended it, and I had no problems after taking it. Beware of other brands that use grain alcohol. I am not related to the product in any way. To A Healthy Flu Season, Tanya in Seattle
