flu preventatives?

Anyone have any idea whether these sorts of things work?

AFAIK, the flu shot is not available yet and I'm experiencing an aching in my legs that is remarkably similar to the way my Funky UK Illness started back in 1998.

And that's all I'm going to say about that. Tomorrow is just another day.
