I hope this helps! glad to share with good people! also just FYI we are in late fifties and early 60 age group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-76696694694379512162015-01-24T05:56:33.352-08:002015-01-24T05:56:33.352-08:00This is what we use, but we add ACV to it for adde...This is what we use, but we add ACV to it for added help.

I had 3 days of fever in excess of 102 degress. This is one you definitely would wish on your worst enemy. Luckily Tamiflu helped shorten the duration and took the last dose yesterday. The last time I had the flu I was 26 years old. Now at 60 years old I thought I had bought the farm being dang near completely incapacitated. I'm glad I took the flu shot but sure wish it hadn't missed this strain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-54197571356880331402015-01-23T15:07:11.939-08:002015-01-23T15:07:11.939-08:00Caught that stuff just before Thanksgiving and it ...Caught that stuff just before Thanksgiving and it didn't leave until after Christmas!

Take up to 2 tablespoons a day of this syrup. This has knocked out horrible flu and colds in my family. We now grow our own elderberry bushes just for this reason! I think Sambucol? is the very pricy version you can buy in the store but homemade is way better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-71255401939173127362015-01-22T14:02:16.386-08:002015-01-22T14:02:16.386-08:00Take care and get yourself all well again.
