The last item that fights colds and Flu’s Immensely is good old Garlic. Organic Garlic not the stuff from over seas. Locally grown right here in Ontario is what you should seek out.  Also Garlic will be a helping aid in the prevention of cancer and common infections and illnesses better than antibiotics.  Its chemical compound allicin has antiviral properties also that will  help stave off the cold and flu virus.  Raw garlic is quite potent for some,  so if your don’t like to eat it raw you can simply add chopped or diced garlic to what ever your cooking. Near the end of cooking is the best of course as the more you cook it the less goodness you get out of it.
