Patients have been telling me recently that they're resistant to getting the 'flu vaccine and are wondering what they can do instead.  As well as appropriate homeopathic remedies for any cold or flu you might succumb to in the coming weeks and months, a Vitamin D supplement would be a wise move, in addition to the following which can improve your immune strength and thereby increase your body’s ability to resist catching them in the first place: 

1,000mg to 2,000mg of Vitamin C daily;

15mg of Zinc daily; 

a course of Echinacea in tincture or tablet format;

taking a course of pre- or pro-biotics – these are ‘good’ or ‘friendly’ gut bacteria such as the lactobacilli and bifidobacteria found in live yoghurt, and acidophilus which you can purchase in the chemist or health shop
