Anyway, if you feel yourself starting to get sick, what are the things you do to keep it away? I usually feel like resting, but I always forget to take vitamins or whatever. Are there specific vitamins or foods or tea, looking for ideas.
I used to load up on "wellness formula" but I can never seem to remember to take them, or swallow garlic, or Vitamin C in time to keep the cold or virus from getting worse.

High amounts (still below upper end limits) of zinc, C, selenium, magnesium, D, garlic caps and plenty of rest and water. Making sure to eat well, don't skip meals, also helps fuel your body for the fight.
Many things are caused by vitamin D deficiency, you might want to get checked (don't assume they did). I just recently found out my levels were extremely low even though I work outside. Vit D malabsorption is a genetic issue in my family. I now have to take a once a week 50k IU dose to help boost me up. I had candida that no meds were able to kill, took a bunch of natural remedies that target that and it finally cleared up. People will often overlook the natural route and go straight for the big pharma meds, I did and it has destroyed my system.
The NIH has endless studies supporting what I take, also ran by my Dr. I can be around ill people and not catch what they have while others do.
