I have not caught a cold or flu in about five years. So much time has passed that I lost track of how long its been.
In my case, it has nothing to do with diet. It is all about knowing your body and knowing the first signs of a cold or flu -- and then dosing yourself to enhance your immune system to fight off the invader.
I always get a sore throat as a first symptom. So as soon as I feel even a slight tickle in my throat I dose myself with echinacea, vitamin c, zinc, and bee propolis. If I have them, I will also take wheat grass tabs, oregano oil, astragalus, cayenne pepper, and any other immune booster that I have handy. I wrote about this in detail on another thread:

BTW: I am someone who, before I learned about holistic heath, always caught a cold or flu at least twice every flu season. So I believe in alternative health regimens because I have seen them work in my own life.
The last few times that I was sick, I was visiting relatives cross-country who had colds or the flu. I did not have access to my supplements, so I paid the price. Having learned my lesson the hard way, now I always travel with a health kit, even when I travel internationally.
I highly recommend this book if you travel a great deal. The author discusses basic travel health kits and emphasizes supplements that have multiple uses to minimize the number of things that you need when you travel.
