Re: 4. Elderberries
The nurse practitioner told me about Sambucol elderberry syrup when I went to urgentcare to get checked over; I had a wierd bug in early March.
They hadn’t any tests yet for the wuhanvirus, and I tested negative for flu & strep.
I was off work for 3 days, but after about 3-4 weeks I was back to 100%.
It could have been the wuhanvirus; I haven’t gotten an antibody test.
Since then, I stocked up on quercetin and also take multivitamin, C, D3, carnitine, and cal-mag-zinc.
Yes, elderberries are famous as a flu treatment. We have them growing wild all over our back yard. Unfortunately the birds always beat us to them. LOL
I bought a lot of Sambucus gummies and extract in December-enough for me, hubby, and all my kids and grand kids -just in case we needed it. I like the gummies-very tasty. They have the quercetin, zinc, and Vit. C.
I haven’t had the flu for over 10 years-ever since I started taking vitamin D3. However, better to have than have not when you need it. LOL

For prophylaxis, the medical school recommends vitamin C (500 mg) and quercetin (250 mg-500 mg twice a day) with zinc (75 mg-100 mg per day), melatonin (0.3 mg-2 mg) each night, and vitamin D3 (1,000-4,000 IU per day). Famotidine (20 mg-40 mg per day) may be added to the mix. For patients with mild symptoms, EVMS recommends the same combination, with optional additions of ivermectin (150 ug-200 ug per kg as a single dose), and one low-dose or regular aspirin per day.
What’s the thinking behind recommending these supplements and medications?
