also, with regards to all natural things like horsetail, vitamin C and so on... i would be carefull. you have to know exactly how things work. this virus is unusual in one way, it causes cytokine storm, and that's a reaction from strong immune system. the more healthy you are, the more strong your immune system is, the more probably is that you won't actually survive H1N1. it's how it works, the main risk group are strong, healthy adults. so actually lowering your immunity would lower the risk of cytokine storm in case virus attacks the lungs.

Good point. I have been trying to get an answer about this. On the one hand we are being advised to boost our immune systems, on the other hand we are told that it's the healthiest immune systems which end up in trouble. Can anyone explain?

Just saying. Parents, by being overprotective and ignorants, killed their children more than the flu.
... it's hard to find any actually usefull information in this thread because it's so big. and why it's so big? because half of people don't think before posting.
