There is an interesting discussion of treatment of flu with homeopathy
on Homeonet. David Kent Warkenten quotes Andre Saine who cites one of
the many published papers in homeopathy showing the difference between
conventional treatment of the flu and homeopathic treatment during the
worst epidemics.

Today we have the same and better homeopathic remedies readily
available and they are great support for any frequency work.

How does homeopathy address patients with infectious diseases?
Homeopathic treatment is ideal to optimize the body's natural defenses
against microbes. With the appropriate homeopathic treatment, people
recover from infectious diseases, even the most serious ones, gently
and rapidly. During past great epidemics such as diphtheria, scarlet
fever, typhoid, cholera, yellow fever, malaria, etc., homeopathy
decreased mortality by 10 to 30 times versus conventional medicine.
During the infamous Spanish flu epidemic of 1918-19, it has been
estimated that 25 to 50 million people died worldwide. In the United
States alone, 550,000 died, approximately 10% of the people afflicted
with the flu. Homeopathic physicians documented then more than 62,000
patients treated with homeopathy resulting in a mortality of 0.7%. For
people who were sick enough to be hospitalized, conventional medicine
had a mortality of 30% while with 27,000 documented hospitalized cases,
homeopathy was reporting a mortality of 1.05% (Journal of the American
Institute of Homeopathy 1921; 13:1028-43).
