Hi,

I am regularly sick with a congested nose and a soar thoat. A friend of mine suggested I use Sambucol which is made of black Elderberry and is suppose to have a large amount of natural antioxidants. Taken here and there not only should it cure me but it should also boost my imune system still according to my friend.

I was curious to know if any one has used it in the past and if it really works well? if not, does any one have any miracle solution?

Thanks.

katie.
 

I suggest that you collect your own Elderberries and make your own syrup, it's delicious.

Hi Katie,

Elderberry does indeed possess flu fighting abilities and can only do you good.

I would look deeper though at why you are ill so much.

The only miracle solution is excellent health...read How To Eat,Move and Be Healthy by Paul Chek for info on how to achieve this.

Hi there.  Congestion can be a result of dairy products, so giving them up could also help.  Also for recurring problems, it could be emotionally triggered.  You could look at Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life".

Wishing you well.

I tried it when I had a cold/chest infection (got through 3 bottles of the stuff) and didnt think it made a scrap of difference. Possibly it might help if you took it every day as an immune booster, but it is very expensive.

The thing I have found helps me most is to get loads of exercise. When I go to the gym regularly (4 or 5 times a week for at least an hour) I dont get ill. Went for several years without any colds, until I got lazier!

Coriolus and Maitake mushroom extracts are good immune boosters, I use this daily http://www.healthcreation.co.uk/node/112 and Andrographis was recommended to me by a herbalist for short term use if you have a cold or flu https://www.yourhealthfoodstore.co.uk/details.php/p5257_pukka_andrographis_vegetarian_capsules.html

I read some years ago that elderberry worked better than a flu shot to prevent flu in seniors in one study. The seniors' immune system couldn't muster up enough "oomph" to have the flu shot be effective, but elderberry works by preventing the virus from being able to latch onto healthy cells in the first place (so it can't replicate). 

So by all means have at the elderberry! But your immune system does seem in need of strengthening in general. Nutrition, exercise, clean air, de-stress...you know the kind of thing! You could also try ginseng tea as a tonic for your immune system.

Hi Katie, Elderberries are good start, but you have enough vitamin. D, antioxidants and Omega-3 to boost your immunity.

The best source of all natural ,the most powerful Omega-3 and antioxidants is Moxxor.

 I agree!  I did this last year and enjoyed a mugful diluted with hot water every day throughout the winter.  Especially good after a brisk walk to get that blood circulating... and boost your immune system.

Hi Katie,

I find that taking Sambucol Forte for a few days at the first sign of a cold works really well for me, and only once in the last two years has it developed into a cold.  A friend recommended it, and I was amazed to see for myself that her son recovered from Chickenpox in just a couple of days. The spots seemed to shrink and crust over before my eyes during a single day I spent with them. It works for my daughters' colds too, though my husband, who is a long-term diabetic, finds it less effective.  It is about £9 per bottle but larger Boots stores stock it, and offer 3 for 2.  I've recommended it to loads of people and many have been converted too.
