Re: Anyone use Sambucol as anti viral & immune booster?

[Guest guest]

I've used it in the past with great success. I've only used the

official " Sambucol " and not the other versions. They do make one that

is alcohol free. Sambucol was removed from the market last year due to

an error in labeling (not in the quality of the product), just in case

you hear about that in your research.

I still use OLE religiously in the winter months. I like it; no sense

it is too harsh (aside from the pine needle taste).

Which market was it removed from? Do you know what the problem in

labelling was? It's only concentrated fruit juice...what's the problem

with that...sheesh...

We have used both sambucol and ole. Sambucol tastes bad. It is hard to mask it,

and I had a lot of resistance getting my children to take it. OLE was our

favorite of the two and my son was non verbal at the time so it's hard for me to

say if it was harsh for him or not, but I do know that the whole chelation

process was a grueling experience for him, as he tells me now, thanks for making

me better, but I hate you for making me take all those pills.

It's elderberry and can help during colds, coughs, virus's. I give it to my

girls when they're getting

a cold. Works well, tastes good and very mild.

We have used elderberry and my kids like the taste of elderberry. We add

pomogranete juice and elderberry to smoothies for added nutrition.

Irene,

I've used all three of the supps you mention. Epicor has been great

here, except for me. If I take epicor, my allergies get worse. I have

been taking a natural product for allergies/asthma; my allergies are

mostly gone and I actually just finished a " normal " cold, something I

haven't had in a long time. So, epicor wasn't right for me with my

overactive immune system but has been perfect for the rest of my family

with underactive and regular immune systems.

I'd ask the doctor how OLE is too " harsh " . Tons of people use it with

really good effect. It can kill soil-based probiotics, which are

important (there was a study done on depression and a missing soil

based probiotic--it works as well as prozac when introduced to

depressed mice) and so people should take that into account. OLE also

constipated my son as it seems to have some effect on smooth muscle,

but that is uncommon.

I'd be more inclined to take into account how a child is doing than

broad statements that aren't (as yet) substantiated. However, sambucol

does have good research and is easy to acquire and give kids, so it

wouldn't hurt to try that as well/instead.
