Zinc is completely useless, and "build up your immune system" is
a goal, not an action. Extropians should take more care to follow
good science and debunk all the nonsense that supplement peddlers
are pushing on the gullible public.

Real, scientifically proven actions one can take are quite simple:
Exercise, eat right, get a flu shot. All the Echinacea and Ginseng
in the world won't do anything but lighten your wallet.
