No apologies LJ,
I was happy to see you back on the other thread this AM. I wanted to throw in my $.02 for your cough. Have you drank some elderberry syrup and honey? I have to buy that Sambucol at a chain store. Wish I could grow it but we live at too high an elevation for growing anything outside. We are both BC survivors and I appreciate your knowledge for natural health and thank you for all your work on both these threads (especially the mountain pics and good night wishes.
God Bless and Happy New Year to you and yours.
I have a LOT I want to post here and hopefully I will stop being obsessed about other stuff and get back.
I buy dried elderberries from Starwest Botanicals and make my own elderberry syrup, I take in winter/flu season. I usually make with honey but sometimes when honey has been too expensive I’ve used organic sugar. I make about 3 quarts at a time, iirc. I can give recipe if anyone wants it, it’s not difficult to make at all. It lasts for a couple of years in a cool dark place because of the honey or sugar and a small amount of alcohol.
