I thought it important to send this out to all of you as we head into the season of flus. I’m not selling it myself or anything, I just want you all to stay healthy and this did work before so take it for what it is.

ABOUT ELDERBERRY EXTRACT
Dating back to the 5th Century B.C. the writings of Hiippocrates described the used of tonics derived from the Elderberry. In the Middle Ages Elderberry was used to protect the immune system.

The dark black berries from the elder shrub have been used as a healthy and therapeutic food since 5 BC.  There is record of the ancient Greeks and Romans using elderberry to shorten the severity and duration of respiratory distress, and in Europe, where the tree is native, it is consumed  throughout the winter season to promote immune health.

——WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS
FROM—http://newchapterblockade.com/
A virus is much smaller than a human cell, but despite its small size can be very powerful, especially when allowed to replicate. When a virus gets into the nose, lungs or mouth it targets particular cells in the body and attaches to them in very specific ways. Once inside the cell, the virus multiplies rapidly to make copies of itself. These newly copied viruses escape the cell and enter the bloodstream to find even more cells to attach to. The bioactive molecules in Blockade seek out viruses, bind to them, and create a coating around them. This coating is like a fence around the virus that blocks its ability to attach to and enter cells. In-vitro laboratory studies of this patent pending extract have demonstrated up to a 100% success rate in inhibiting the entry of enveloped viruses (like influenza)†.

*One brand that I have used:
Immunity Take Care used to be called Blockade. Here is some information from their site about this great Elderberry Extract.
FROM —http://newchapterblockade.com/
This is not a synthetic chemical isolate, but a Herbal Virus Blocker that provides the full range of bioactive chemistries of the natural herbal source, thanks to the combination of supercritical extraction and a breakthrough technology for validating potency, called DART (Direct Analysis in Real-Time).

Zinc logenzers at the first sign of a cold can prevent the cold
from setting in.  Zinc is anti-viral and the lozenges are very effective.

Vitamen D3 in the system has been proven to help people resist the flu as
well.  A Naturopathic Dr. told me everyone can safely take 2,000 mg. a
day. Also you can get Vitamin D from the Sun.
