Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 http://www.swansonvitamins.com/include/newsletter/emailRU_102804/RUa1_102804.html Elderberry relieves flu symptoms Researchers in the Department of Virology, Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel have found that elderberry can cut short the effects of flu. Scientists noted that “elderberry has been used in folk medicine for centuries to treat influenza, colds and sinusitis, and has been reported to have antiviral activity against influenza and herpes simplex. We investigated the efficacy and safety of oral elderberry syrup for treating influenza A and B infections.” Sixty patients (aged 18-54 years) suffering from influenza-like symptoms for 48 hours or less were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study during the influenza season of 1999-2000 in Norway. Patients received 15 ml of elderberry or placebo syrup four times a day for five days, and recorded their symptoms using a visual analogue scale. Researchers found that symptoms were relieved on average four days earlier and use of rescue medicine was significantly less in those receiving elderberry extract compared with placebo. The study concluded, “Elderberry extract seems to offer an efficient, safe and cost-effective treatment for influenza.” J Int Med Res 32(2):132-140, 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Deb, do you buy in large quantities and save? What about any unnatural substances found in the vitamin bottles. Many vitamins do not break down due to man-made Minerals. I am also assuming that this company is not mlm.
