A remedy my dad tought me that he learned back in Ireland. When your getting a scratchy throat. Get 5 or so lemons, cut up and boil in water. when boiled put a teaspoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of honey. Mix. Drink the elixir like a tea. this will soothe the throat and help you feel better. Emma, San Bruno, Ca.

Another quack that's written a book. Here is the only real immunity booster science has proven works-exercise. There is no magic potion, no cheap and easy way to boost immunity than to exercise regularly. So get off the couch and go make it happen. And get a flu shot, it really helps. Forget crap like this someone pimps to make money--and it's YOUR money they want to take.

They should mention that not everyone can take Royal Jelly. If you are allergic to bees, you can be allergic to that as well. An important fact not mentioned.

LOL at the thymus thing! You obviously aren't a medical doctor. Fist sized? LMAO. Oh, and its usually atrophies shortly after puberty, not well into old age. Thanks for the laughs though, keep em coming.

Eva P: You are what's wrong with society today. "Oh yeah, natural is better. Vaccines are evil. Boo!" Natural does not mean better. Tobacco is natural. Cyanide is natural. Tetanus toxin is natural (and talk about boosting your immune response, nothing like a good toxin to do that). Make yourself smarter: www.sciencebasedmedcine.org and www.quackwatch.com

The best points are listed in item 7! I wish we would stop looking for some magic pill (or root) to cure us...Proper sleep, moderate exercise, healthy eating, and controlling stress are always the best and most effective strategy to combat any ailment.

Garlic!!!!! garlic is a natural anitbiotic and it's nickname is russian penicillan! russians used this supplement to fight of the flu and cold's durring the cold war. i never get sick when i use garlic on a daily basis and strongly agree that it is by far the best product for fighting off the flu! i managed a General Nutrition Center for 4 year's and my garlic vendor came in and told me facts about this product! it works wonders and comes in oderless pill form so it wont upset your stomach and you wont stink! the only down fall is that it can thin the blood, so if you have problems with that than garlic supplement is not for you. this is the truth, garlic cleans out the bood and will work wonders for you. you can purchase a mo supply for bout $6 dollars a month.

The thymus gland does NOT peak in your 30s. It ceases to function after puberty. I have to wonder what else you have wrong in this article.
