I dont wanna sound like a huge sook but its got to the point this year its getting so fucked i wanna kill myself. Ive had the flu 3 times this year and i currently have it now as i am typing this. Last year i had it about 3 times and when i get it, i get it pritty bad. Everytime i get back to the gym after getting over the flu all my lifts are piss weak . Last time my dead was 160 kilos then i got back and could barely lift 150 its so fucked cause of all the effort i put in for like a month can all go away with just 1 week of the flu.

Yes im on a proper diet and getting 8-9 hours sleep a night i dont know why i keep getting it, im so fucking over it.
 
Vitamin C
Zinc

Eat a kebab with heaps of chilli per day also

My family have been coughing around me for months now and I never picked up their flue.
 
i reckon it works good. yeah easy 6 tablets a day.. when i have a cold ill take about 10 a day, spread out

Scientific research says otherwise.

Plus vitamin c has been linked to increase rate of growth of some cancers.

I think I'll give the vitamin c tablets a miss.
 
Im a new stepdad and I can tell you all that getting sick from a 6 year old girl just adds insult to injury. Ive been here sonce November and Ibe had it worse than I have in decades. Little shit got me twice.
I agree with the high doses of C and I could not agree more with spicy foods.
I like cheese pizza with lots of tabasco.
Peri peri wings are nice too. Breaks up congestion and nasal nonsense.
I love the endorphine release too.

When getting ready for stage I use Tabasco on egg whites.
Helps loads.
 
Get a flu shot.
I have heard so many mixed results on this. My grandpa who is 95, still active as fuck, plays tennis, golf, walks, drinks this lemon and honey drink everyday which he swears prevents colds and flu and I have never known him to be sick, doctor urged him to get flu shot this year because he is old, what do you know, he gets a bad case of the flu. So many other people I know who have had the flu shot always get crook afterwards.

Flu shots are well proven to work for the strains of flu that the vaccine is designed for.

It doesn't protect you from the common cold though and some people have a slight immune response after the injection. But it is impossible to get the flu from the flu vaccine.

Yeah I think he would be fitter than me, still walks to the shops, mows the lawn, does his gardening and stuff, goes to the casino every week, wakes up and does his exercises from a bloody 1930 workout book or something, its called 5bx or something. Was only a while ago he told me he was up in the roof soldering up a water pipe or something.

:D, you make me laugh man. Cheers.

I know you said your diets good, but what do you actually eat in a day?

Also, hit up some real Vit C, which is ascorbic acid. You can buy it from bulk nutrients for $40kg I think.
Start off with 5g a day. Then work up to as much as you can torlerate, until you almost shit yourself, then drop it back by about 2g.
I think last year I got up to 35-40g of ascorbic acid per day, but I was quite ill.

I was feeling crook a couple of weeks ago, hit around 15g of ascorbic acid in the evening, and woke up as fresh as a daisy.

Drink it through a straw. Acid vs Enamal isn't a good battle to fight.
 
Who paid for the research?
I'm sure I could find research that says smoking doesn't cause cancer.
