First, I am not a doctor. Second, I read a lot about this stuff and am mostly comfortable with what I do in looking out for my own health, but, investigate this yourself and don't rely on me to give you advice. That said, there are several good ways to prepare for the possibility of a bad upcoming flu season.
1) EpiCor - an immune system enhancer. It is outstanding from everything I have read. My wife and I started taking it the last part of last winter, and will resume taking it September 1st. Read about it...you will be glad you did. I buy my supply through Vitacost.
2) Vitamin D - Read this article, it is good. We take 5000 IU of vitamin D daily during the short daylight months per Vitamin D Council's recommendation.
3) Fish Oil - take a good fish oil supplement and avoid consuming too many vegetable oils. Read about this here.
Also, limit sugar and HFCS intake as they are known to be immune system suppressors.
We also prefer to avoid the flu shots as they tend to be beneficial to very few, and have issues with side effects...especially the vaccine for the H1N1...possibly unsafe and untested.
