No.

A far more interesting question is why people feel that they need to "boost" their immune system in the first place. The immune system is a complex series of cells and interactions, it can fight infection but it does so at risk to the host itself. Take inflammation for example, it is caused by the immune system in response to an infection, but in some cases, this inflammation can often cause more damage than the infection itself.

The bodies ability to interpret something as a threat can cause life threatening allergic reactions in some people...You don't necessarily want to be playing around with that.

Barring IgA deficiencies, other rare disorders of the immune system, certain illnesses, pregnancy and immunosupression through drugs and certain diseases; there is no reason for people to assume their immune system is not functioning as it should. Just get adequate sleep, exercise, eat a healthy balanced diet and spend time out doors.

'Boost the immune system' is a meaningless term and is only a marketing gimmick. The immune system is just that; a system. It’s not a single thing, but an extremely complex series of interactions on many levels. It's made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, and is not something you can just ‘boost’.

In any case boosting it would be bad. Similar to what happens in autoimmune diseases, or as Paul Ehrlich described it, "Horror Autotoxicus". http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.…

If you are run down or have not been looking after yourself, your immune function may be improved, by healthy diet and lifestyle; but you cannot improve it past its optimal baseline.

Avoid crowds and sick people, wash your hands frequently and get your flu shot.
