yes. Echinacea & Golden Seal root. Also citrus will do as well.
ETA: Look up antioxidants as well. Things like Pomegranites & tomatoes will also come up.

Ditto! Use the garlic to make tea. It is yucky but it is very good.

Oranges (1 everyday in the morning) have helped me. I used to get easily bruised, and this has been a wonder!

I recommend taking pro-biotics and Omega 3, 6 9 and fish oil. These are excellent immune system boosters. They target the heart and the gastrointestinal track. This is great for overall health and strong immunity for all kinds if diseases.
Foods: Bananas, oranges, spinach, tomatoes, non fat dairy, salmon, tuna and whole grains.
