Does any know about immunity boosters or used any to not get so many re-occurring colds, flu? If so, how do they work?

..I googled them but there's so much info out there, I don't know where to begin.


I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and my voice is really hoarse. SIL and brother are sick again as well.

Just about the time I get feeling better, I get sick all over again - and that goes with the whole family. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I eat quite healthy too. Each morning I have a green, home made smoothies. I take a multivitamin, Omega 3, and a Vitamin D3. I get enough protein, etc. and I don't over indulge. I do not exercise as much as I should, but that's just me procrastinating and being lazy. I used to do yoga and meditate, but again I drifted because of laziness and being so tired - that was my excuse. But easily fixed, just need to push myself.

When I get real sick like the last time with the stomach flu, my anxiety flares up real bad and I get panic attacks, 'phantom' aches and pains (I swear it's all in my head) and I try to not take the anti-anxiety med unless absolutely necessary but sometimes I break down and feel like the walls are caving in, etc. If you've ever had a panic attack, you know what I mean.

My cousin swears by this stuff:

Echinacea Plus Tea | Echinacea | Holland & Barrett

Personally, I don't smoke and drink very rarely. I eat only freshly prepared mostly organic food, take vitamins and drink plenty of water. I found my health to be better than it once was.
^ I swear by this too. Well, not so much the brand, but echinacea tea. 100% echinacea doesn't taste good, but it works like a charm. Lately I've been drinking this stuff and it actually doesn't taste too bad.

Errrmmmm... craploads of vitamin C? I think that's the more obvious one :p People swear by that but I wouldn't recommend overdosing on vitamin C... unless it's water-soluble, I'm not sure... Other than that I think it all sounds like hocus-pocus alternative medicine stuff. I mean, some of it may work, but...
