This was my first seed order in about 5 yrs. We still have plenty in our freezer from the past. This place I bought from really worked out great, lots more seeds in the packet then were supposed to be.

Excuse me please if I dont make any sense today, I am on cold meds on top of my regular stuff. 2X whammy. I went to the Sick Peoples Convention(dr office) the other day and picked up what they had. I really shouldn’t be behind a keyboard in this condition.

Sick People’s Convention. LOL I am going to steal that phrase. Long as the fingers can stay on the keys....

Rightly, everyone is different, but I would like to report that I have found astragulus in combo with a few other substances to be AMAZING in boosting the immune system in the face of an oncoming or already established cold/flu.

We were at Walmart the other day, and you know that moment when you KNOW that you are all of a sudden fighting something off? Scratchy throat - achy shoulders and neck - tired and want to curl up in the dark - runny nose - all those things? I HAD them! I had a single zicam in my pocket, which I took, despite the pocket lint, and when I got home, I took some astragulus capsules, garlic, and more zinc supplement. The symptoms never developed!!! This is the second time this routine has forestalled such a cold/flu situation. I continue to take the astragulus daily.

I had some situations where the symptoms developed, but the course would run fewer days and would not be as severe as what my friends were experiencing.

As I said, everyone is different, but this worked at least in my body...and hope others may find it useful as well.

And also, seemingly is a cancer fighter as well:

I had not thought to research growing it, but as this is a gardening thread, here is one that turned up as a possibility. I believe I really need to add it to my list of experiments for this year!:

Uh oh—you’re supposed to put your seeds in the freezer between growing season? *sob*
