Before any1 takes any1 drug/medication to 'fight' flu-like symptoms, one needs to understand first what your body is actually going through. Some old literature might help wonders.

Excellent article! I’m saving this to share with family who still flock to drugs for supposed relief. Chicken soup for the win!

Before Tamilfu took over the market, there was a drug named Amantadine that did seem to work against flu. Any comments about that one? My dad used it, I have used it, but I don’t know much about it.
