Just remember, more on the ginger, less on the zinc. While zinc is know to improve the immune system, this is only true in the range of 15-20mg PER DAY. Taking zinc lozenges all day and exceeding this dose actually acts as an immune suppresent. Of course no one told you this before, it's not as profitable. On thing i will reccomend is while you're drinking buckets of water (you are drinking buckets of water, right?) put as much lemon juice in it as you can handle. I usually alternate between *super lemon* and faintly lemony. Lemon, of course, is a wonderful anticeptic with vitamin C to boot. Lots of garlic at this time is also highly reccomended, in simple foods. But be aware that garlic doesn't work *nearly* as well as a beveradge.
I'll be capping off my water bottle with lemon as soon as I get home from work.
Stupid cooties.
