A rather drastic cure, Roderick.

Stress makes us more likely to catch things. Do you know whether she gets as many colds now that she has left?

All I can say is that I have not had a cold since my wife left me 9 years ago

This winter I have been plagued with colds, sore throats, coughs.

I am lucky in lots of respects, as I do not suffer (yet anyway) with arthritis or other age related conditions.

However, my immunity to colds and the like is terrible. I catch everything like that going. I have had the 'flu jab and haven't had 'flu, but these other things have been getting me down, especially coughing.

I take a multitude of vitamins and have just started in Vitamin D in the hopes this will help.

Has anyone been like me and managed to up their immunity some way.

By the way I eat all the right stuff, fruit, veg, wholegrain, protein etc. etc.
