Combat Flu: Take Elderberry at the first sign of flu

This season, the flu has been worse than ever and it seems to be getting worse each year. Pediatricians are reporting a significant increase in flu amongst their young patients. Elderberry or Sambucol (made by Nature's Way) is a great way to reduce the symptoms and severity of the flu. There has been some good research done on the antimicrobial properties of elderberry. I recommend my adult patients to take the elberberry at the first sign of flu and my younger patients (who can't tell you when they are starting to feel ill) to take one teaspoon of Sambucol every day, especially during "flu season". I carry the adult and child version of Sambucol in my office and it can also be found at Whole Foods or any Health Food Store. Hope this helps some of you escape the flu this season and future seasons.
