Elderberry

Elderberry
Elderberry is a fruit in the blueberry family that is cooked & served as juice or the flower is used in capsules.  A 12 oz of juice (I usually add 12 oz water) is delicious and appears to stop all bacterial & viral infection symptoms in three days, same as over half a dozen farmers I know reported when growing & storing it for when they have respiratory infection symptoms.  It’s the only thing they take when sick, one family for four generations.
Elderberry makes zinc many times more effective than taking zinc alone (a zinc ionophore).  A 12 oz elderberry drink, or 1g or more of concentrated elderberry and 60 -100mg zinc appears to stop viral symptoms in 10 hours. I’ve had dozens of people recover overnight taking elderberry & zinc with no symptoms in the morning & full recovery of energy.
Elderberry is an antiviral
Elderberry juice, extracts, & powder appear to work against viral infections and stimulate the immune system.  Elderberry speeds recovery from multiple types of viral infections significantly.
