Anecdotal and clinical evidence has proven the efficacy of this miracle of nature. Don't be fooled by the flu shot claim. D.K.

I'm still going with rampant hand-washing as your best non-pharmaceutical bet.

Flu shots can give you the flu. It's a risk, that give pharm-busineess mega bucks. Better to have a good immune system which elderberry has bben proven to do. Peace

Flu shots can give you the flu.
There is absolutely no way for the flu vaccine to give you the flu. People need to stop propagating this myth.

The harvest was weak... no water for the plants to produce a good crop. I've got syrup at Sports ltd. I make batches fresh each week or so. Kenny, frozen elderberris can be puchased on-line from farms in the mid west.

You can also buy elderberry juice and medicinal syrup online at http://elderberrylife.com. I think that they get their berries from the Midwest farmers that you mentioned.

I thought that this was going to be about skiing Elderberry Canyon on Mt. Tom as a way of getting over being sick!

Let's leave hamsters out of it, OK? They're cute, but we've had enough of them lately.
Eating fresh fruit and vegetables is undoubtedly good for one's health, in the general sense. Getting a flu shot will actually reduce your chances of getting the flu.
