Way off topic, but let me bring it back. We
keep Sambucol on hand in case of flu, it's made from European
elderberries. I don't know if our elderberries have the same ingredients,
or if frozen elderberries or wine would work as well, or if the active
ingredient has been concentrated . It's supposedly used a lot for flu in
Europe. I have read that in France, if you get sick it's because of your
"terrain" being weak, so your dr is more likely to prescribe a tonic than an
antibiotic. I'll bet those tonics have lots of plant ingredients... wonder
if that would be something to up the demand for certain fruits? My sister
in law came to visit from Belgium some 25 years ago, she had a bad cold but was
too busy to go to the clinic so she paid extra for the dr to make a house call
($8 instead of the $2 for the clinic). He gave her a tube of homepathic
remedy which she left with us when she went home. It was wonderful for
colds, we used it for years. It was from herbs, though theoretically
homeopathic remedies don't actually have enough of the active ingredients in it
to count, only the vibrational signature of the herbs remain in the water or
inert ingredients.
I got a nasty case of the flu
spring '08, but usually we don't get very sick from it, and have few
colds. Is this just the effect of getting older, or a testimonial for
eating lots of fresh produce? Donna
