Antibiotics won't hit a virus. You must mean vaccine. I never take a flu shot, never have and never will. I prefer to stay as healthy as I can and while I have a few anti virals, I am going to step it up.

I have sida rhombifolia growing here, it is antiviral.

Sida rhombifolia - Wikipedia

I dug up a Mullein plant a couple of years ago and now have 5 plants growing here.

Green sweet gum balls are antiviral and there are trees here.

There is a wild stand of echinacea near by

I want to make a herb garden for medicinal purposes. I have herbal books that tell how to make tinctures, and how to use herbs and weeds.

Modern medicine is a marvel and a wonderous thing, I am not discounting it at all. There are some things that even modern medicine can't touch, so why not educate ourselves? Maybe we can help our own selves and others too.

I remembered reading about this several years ago and looked it up again. "Cytokine Storm" is a condition where the body fights so hard to kill the invading virus that it turns on the body also.

and this:
Best foods to take to reduce the risk of cytokine storm in pandemic flu:

Green tea
Black tea
Peanuts
Raisins & red grapes
Resveratrol supplements
Capers, fennel
Kale
Apples with skins
Quercetin supplements
Pomegranate juice
Red wine
Turmeric (esp cooked w/ black pepper) (500mg-4000mg daily)
Black pepper
Raw crushed garlic
Red palm oil
Vitamin E
Coconut oil
Vitamin C
St Johns Wort
Skullcap tea
Cats Claw
Tea Tree (2 drops tea tree oil in a bowl of steaming water, cover head and inhale for 5-10mins)
Astragalus Root
Tulsi Root


The following, while beneficial in other ways, May not be a good idea in terms of reducing cytokine levels

Olive oil
Fish oil
Chocolate
Vitamin D (unless in very high levels – 5000mg/day)
Elderberry Juice (use only for regular flu)
