Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 For me personally elderberry seems to work wonders. I take it (one capsule) at the first sign of a secondary infection and go to bed and most of the time I wake up feeling good as new. You can get the liquid also but it's more expensive. Page > > I have a terribly weak immune system (due to constantly fighting the Epstein Barr Virus no doubt) and I used to get sick EVERY year. This year there have been two illnesses that went through our entire family (a very bad sore throat and a stomach flu) and both times I felt the illness coming on and I did an " antibiotic dose " of Vitamin D3 (50,000 mg per day for 3 days) and both times I could tell that my body was fighting something off (I was more tired than usual and a bit " sicky " feeling) but never succumbed to either the sore throat (mine started to get sore but the soreness went away with the first day's dose of D3) and with the stomach flu I didn't have the achy wiped out day after that everyone else did.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks, maybe I just have to go out and look for some elderberry wine. Wasn't that the old home remedy? > > > > I have a terribly weak immune system (due to constantly fighting the Epstein Barr Virus no doubt) and I used to get sick EVERY year.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Seriously, I just checked with Puritan.com and think I will order a bottle and see. I have heard that it is helpful. Thank you. http://www.puritan.com/elderberry-607?afid=27 & safid=Google & scid=6835 & cm_guid=1-_\ -100000000000000037889-_-6518471431 & cm_mmc=Google-_-Herb_Elderberry-_-elderberry\ -_-Broad+Ad_6518471431 & gclid=CJW8quzDtKYCFaZl7AodNjLSHg > > > > I have a terribly weak immune system (due to constantly fighting the Epstein Barr Virus no doubt) and I used to get sick EVERY year.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Erm, um, LOL, RIGHT, maybe that's why it is so popular? Actually I think that Sambucol was the model, it's a liquid form of elderberry and super popular in Europe. For me capsules work and are less expensive (grin). Gives me a good excuse to go buy a bottle of elderberry wine though huh? Actually the old Southern family recipe was 1 part lemon juice (which actually has actifed type properties), one part honey (a demulcent which also has immune boosting properties) and one part bourbon. www.pennherb.com has the best catalog of herbal properties on line.
