Why no Elderberry/Echinacea for this flu season? - Page 4

Thank you for summarizing all this for me. I can't seem to do it all myself with pre-school, toddler, baby brain! You make sense

So glad I read this...I had gotten some of the sambucus elderberry syrup for dd which I don't think I will be giving now. I do have her on a probiotic, Shaklee infant multi-vitamin (powder form) and fish oils...Should I not give her any of those things? I"m so confused now~

My understanding about the echinacea and elderberry is that you want to use them to prevent the cold and flu. Should you have the cold and flu, if it were the Swine or bird flu the danger is up regulating your immune system. this can cause your body to create mucus to protect the mucus membranes. With the swine and Bird flu this may cause one to down in their own mucus. Colloidal silver or Argentyn 23 which is colloidal silver in nannometer size( small enough for your body to really utilize it is recommended). Sovereign Silver soldt by allhealth trends is a good source. It is Bio-Active Silver Hydrosol. I hope this helps. herbalist
