Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 One way you could a get a reliable look at your childs overall constitution is to test her Ph level. An alkaline body does'nt make a good host for any type of dis-ease. When I tested my boys, my autistic son (who is the most fragile) had the highest acid level of the three. Next in line for acidity was my oldest who has unidentified allergies and always blowing his nose, and my middle child was a perfect deep blue. He has the best diet of the 3. Introduction of alkaline foods such as brussel sprouts, peas, asparagus, cauliflower, onion, green cabbage, red cabbage, zuchini, celery, garlic, cucumber can Ph balance the body----these are just a few of the veggies, the list goes on if your interested in more.I also have the list of don'ts or foods to eat sparingly.I will say you might find yourself hardpressed to find the strips, maybe not. I could help with that too if you like. This is a do no harm method and fairly inexpensive. Good Luck with the elderberry.

The NY Times ran a story some years ago about how the drug patent laws in the U.S. were keeping useful medicines out of American consumers hands because you can't get an exclusive patent on anything derived from nature under the current rules so drug companies have done less and less research on plant-derived medicines. At the same time Israeli researchers (many of whom have studied in the U.S. according to the article) decided to look into the old wives tale about elderberry tea being good for respiratory problems. Well, they proved it, figured out how it worked (the bacteria or microbes or whatever they are that cause bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. are like Velcro on the outside and stick to the lungs. A compound in elderberries coats them so they can't stick and therefore they pass through the body more quickly), and the created medicines based on concentrated elderberries. Since the development of this medicine, they've slashed their use of antibiotics to fight bronchitis, pneumonia and other respiratory infections and, if a case is severe, the new medicine can be used with antibiotics. Other research is showing that elderberries act as an immune system booster. Since then I've kept elderberry capsules (more handy than tea) around every winter and haven't had bronchitis since. So there's good reason to consume elderberry tea, syrups, etc. They really are good for you. Beth -- " Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.

Sambucol (sp?) is an OTC flu remedy made from elderberries. I make elderberry tincture with vodka and sugar and give it out to friends who have any viral-like symptoms, even a cold. I have elderberry flower absoute (to keep on topic). I understand there is also an EO of it, and I'm wondering if my sample may be mislabeled, maybe it's really the EO, which according to Arctander is thick and solid at room temp. I like the scent, which he describes as sweet, honeylike, animalic and unpleasant. He says to dilute it way down to make it pleasant. I have just played with it a little, so I can't really judge it in a blend. It's not unpleasant to me, but that's all relative, yes? It is very rare and rarely produced.

It is very dark with a wine like aroma, earthy and somewhat musky. I have used it as part of a blender with agarwood and tuberose. I like it myself, but it may not be for everyone. I also have a nice tincture of red wine resin that I scorched slightly to give it a smokiness. It has a similar quality to the elderberry. Z......

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 The Backyard Herb That's Better Than a Flu Shot Studies show it boosts flu-fighting antibodies and actually disarms the flu virus. If flu shots are ever in short supply again, don't panic. Now there's something even better -- something you should know about whether you get a flu shot or not. The backyard herb elderberry has been used as a folk remedy for flu, colds, and coughs since ancient times. Very bad news for colds and flus More recently, results of a study saw flu sufferers recover in record time. The researchers found that elderberry literally disarmed the flu virus -- so it's unable to penetrate cell walls. Those who took elderberry were also found to have higher levels of flu-fighting antibodies, indicating a stronger immune system and less chance of getting the flu in the first place. What's more, elderberry has shown great promise combating other viruses, including AIDS, herpes, and Epstein-Barr. Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
