I'm usually sick on or near any busy time in my life. Thus, I'm sick now.
My words of prevention would be: wash your hands and avoid the coworker who hacks and snots but swears he isn't sick. 
what is glutamine?

I usually just try and get some extra vitamin C in addition to my regular multi. Right now, I'm just eating an orange every day to get that extra C.

What if you put it in your brownies, does that make a difference?

I never heard to avoid if you are allergic to ragweed as I am too, very.  I use it once I begin to feel something coming on. It seems to work and not trouble allergy wise that I have been aware of.

Me either. I love it. Some of the chewable zinc lozenges have echinacea in them already.

drink plenty of water and use anti bacterial hand sanitizer early and often - ladies - carry it in your purse, guys, keep a bottle in your coat - use it after leaving a store, pumping gas, anthing and everything (perfect stocking stuffer also)

Why don't you get the flu shot?
I'm considering in getting one this winter...it's only $15 for us students..better be immunized than get sidelined from training for a month!
