With a lowered immune system and the whole piggy sniffles (swine flu) breakout, I'm looking for some good daily supplements for boosting my immunity. Does anyone have any good brands/types of supplements they've used that have helped?
I'm also getting an H1N1 vac. on Tuesday but still better safe than sorry, right? especially when all my friends are getting sick.

This comes from my "Bottom Line" received today (I can't vouch for it, since this issue just came, but thought I'd pass the recipe along):
Combine 1/2 oz. powdered goldenseal root, 1/2 oz. powdered echinacea root, 2 oz. slippery elm bark powder, and one teaspoon capsicum. Shake together in a paper or plastic bag, then store in a screw-top jar. Shake each time before using.
Pour one cup of very hot water over a 1/2 teaspoon of the mix. Cover and steep for five minutes. Drink several cups daily.
The recommendation comes from Andrew Rubman, MD, medical director of the Southbury Clinic for Traditional Medicines is Southbury, Connecticut.
