Fortunately, I'm not in the position to experiment with the flu virus so I can't say I'm very confident. Keep in mind that, like the cure for the common cold, we assert that viral load matters - less is always better. Also, we are focusing on the first stage or the innate immune response and try to amplify its effectiveness. From the list of symptoms associated with the flu - as listed on Wikipedia (1) - the following is a list of logical things to do:
Symptom / What one should do
-------------------------------
coughs / cough a lot more
runny nose / blow nose a lot more as in my Common Cold video
high fever / cover up oneself in multiple layers of blankets
vomiting, diarrhea / take HCL pills to kill virus in the stomach and the intestine
muscle ache / I'm not really sure how to explain this so I can't devise a way to "help" the body.
lack of appetite / eat less just to have enough energy to function
Unlike the common cold virus which mainly inhabits the nasal passage, we can see that the flu virus is everywhere in the body. As always, do this the moment you think you have the flu. Wait too long and the virus will multiply and overwhelm the immune system.
