Vitamin C and Echinacea are supposed to be good.

Echinacea should be taken for 6 weeks and then a break (I think) - it's worth googling it to make sure there aren't any contraindications for you - but it is supposed to be THE thing for strengthening the immune system.

What problems are you having?

I had a double virus in my early 20's and for years I stayed sick. Then someone recommended Echinacea and it greatly improved my immune system. I've not been taking it since TTC and I've been sick twice and I hadn't missed out of work in 1.5 years. Definitely try it, IMO.

I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out

Astragalus is a fantastic immune booster. It can increase the white blood cell count, and can be taken daily, unlike echinacea.

I have viral labarynthitis ( so the dr's think) it is an inner ear infection that attacks the inner hairs that control balance which leaves you feeling dizzy ALL the time It is crippling my quality of life! But everytime I see to just get a touch sick the dizziness just hits me full force again! So short of wearing a sars mask everywhere I go I think I wanna try vitamis for awhile.


What about garlic?

Well I added vitamin C and garlic! I guess it can't hurt.

The other thing you could maybe add is a little bit of Zinc.
I think you can get a Vitamin C/Zinc mix in a fuit flavored lozinge (those things you suck on) or as a capsule.

*shrugs* Just a thought.
