It is my understanding that during the Spanish Flu, it hit and killed the young and strong...When I say young...teenager and above. Their bodies spun into overdrive in trying to kill the disease and that is what killed them. Oldsters, who had a relatively compromised immune system to begin with fared better than their younger relatives in this respect.
That would be the cytokine storm.
This is why if you take Sambucol you need to educate yourself on where you stand on whether or not it effects the cytokine storm.
I err on the side that it does because I have seen the cytokine storm kill someone.
I think I almost fell victim to it but somehow survived with my homeopathic remedies. I used so many I can’t tell you what worked. I should have gone to the Dr but didn’t have insurance. Stupid move. I even did the onions on the feet. Didn’t care. I tried it all.
