I must say I love the latest study that came out on how to battle Avian Flu. While it was only an in vitro study [in lab - not in human], it still showed some very statistically valid results.

The avian flu virus was sitting there happy in its petri dish until Sambucol Elderberry extract came in and sat on it. And boy did it. It suffocated it. Elderberry extract by Sambucol was 99% effective in neutralizing the avian flu virus.

"A team at Retroscreen Virology, an institute associated with the University of London, said that the extract was at least 99 per cent effective against the H5N1 virus and significantly neutralized the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures."

However, one must clearly know that this was done in a laboratory setting and not in a human trial. There is a big difference. There are human studies which have proven Sambucol effective in shortening the duration of cold and flu symptoms in general.

To read the full report, visit yet another fabulous website that I recently discovered:
Nutra Ingredients | Europe

It cracks me up when people state there is no research done on natural products. They simply are not looking. It is everywhere and I cannot keep up with the speed in which it publishes.

Get your elderberry extract. Damn I wish I sold Sambucol! Maybe I will....soon!

Be healthy,

Ben
