The flu is caused by a virus (of which there are millions so there is no telling which one without tests).
The best line of defense against viruses is your immune system. The best way to boost your immune system right now is to remove nerve interference caused by subluxation (misalignment of the vertebrae). This can be done by a chiropractor.
The best way to treat viruses is PREVENTION - ask your chiropractor about a maintenance program that might have prevented this virus. Also, echinacea tea is good too!
For now, you can also try black elderberry root extract to help ease some of the symptoms.
Get well soon.

If it's Influenza, you'll have aching muscles, feel weak, and be feverish (hot then shivering). The main thing is to have LOTS of fluids- at least 4-5pts daily, and Paracetamol. 2 each time, no less than 4hr until the next lot. No more than 8 tablets in 24hrs. Don't bother taking anything else.

the reason you cant sleep is due to you glands and stuff being enflamed and causing you pain try an anti inflamatory like nurofen or solpedeine! they work wonders!!!! and take it easy if that does'nt help then get some lavender oil and splash a few drops on your pillow as well as taking the anti inflamatories and you should nod off pretty soon! also make sure you have a drink handy if you wake up in the night!!!
get over it soon! x x x

Theraflu...that stuff sucks, but it gives about 6.5 hours of flu relief which should give you enough time to go to bed. I have to warn you, it tastes horrible. Terrible and outrageously disgusting, but it works great.

Try Nyquil.
I never have, but I'm told it's good.
Pity it's not sold here =(
