There are several things you can try for diabetes. Avoid sugar to start and then try eating bitter melon (from an asian grocery), 10 leaves of Swiss Chard daily, plenty good fats from avocado, hemp oil etc. Refuse to fail. Give up all dairy..eat more seafood. Take CoQ10, Chromium, eat Kim Chi, take probiotics.

some bad advice here. Never give up dairy esp diabetics. I should know, I am one and a nurse. Watch your fruit intake because of the natural sugar that most fruits contain. The only sweetener a diabetic should use is Stevia. This is what an expert doctor told me on my first visit with him about the DM.

It's better if people remember that there are 2 types of diabetes which are quite different from one another, and specify which one they are talking about.

Last January, I was really run down from over six weeks of a viral brochitis issue that began to manifest walking pneumonia symptoms. Nothing was working.
A friend recommended Wyldewood Elderberry juice. She had knocked out pneumonia with it in a few days. On her recommendation, I divided the bottle into portions for three days and used it up. I was running at 98% recovery in three days! That was a lot to say after the long six weeks before.

In MO we are adding growers to produce the juice. I'm usually a skeptic because of my science background. But drinking a tbsp. of the juice per day has significantly helped my fibromyalgia. Locally, MO Norhtern Pecans is selling it.

I had a cold and the flu from mid-September through all of November. Spent lots of money on prescriptions, over the counter cold and flu medicines; I even tried some allergy pills - nothing helped.

Friends and I were talking how messed up my immune system must be and one of them recommended Elderberry. I figured it couldn't hurt at this point.

Two days later (2 tables, 1 each day) and I felt noticably better!!! WOW

I recently went into our local organic store to find something to help my children and I stay well through this terrible cold and flu season. I asked her if i were to buy two products for overall health for the family, what would you you use? She recommended elderberry syrup and olive leaf capsules. After 4 days my son is completely well and my daughter and I are remarkably better. She shared so many success stories with me... I personally love it and think it will pay off!

I have been taking elderberry syrup for about four months. During a time when my family and others were experiencing colds and flu, I only had a couple of sniffles for a few days. I use one teaspoon a day for maintenance, and one tablespoon a day if I feel that something may be ensuing. I have been pleased with the results and will continue to keep this regime.

You can make the syrup at home very easily and economically:
2 oz dried elderberries
1 pint water (filtered)
3/4 cup organic honey

Add wather and dried elderberries to a pot and simmer for 20 minutes
Remove from heat, strain and mix with 3/4 cup of organic honey
Funnel into dark colored bottle and keep unrefrigerated for up to two months (mine doesn't last that long because I take 1 Tbls daily)

It is really easy. I didn't have a strainer so I used my french press.

Yes it has, I just last week had flu like symptoms and I went to actually get Echinacea and goldenseal which I still did buy but I also was introduced to Reishi and Elderberry, These herbs were combined and taken 2-4 each every 4-6 hours I began to instantly feel better. I took these and still taking these for 5 days. The healing is right here in the earth, why look anywhere else !!!!

at the first sign that i am coming down with something i run out and buy a couple of bottles of black elderberry syrup. i drink half a bottle in the morning and the other half before bed. by the second day i feel great again but still take elderberry. i have discovered that you have to have elderberry at the first sign that you might be coming down with something.

Elderberry is available as dry powder capsule. My "cocktail" mix to cure colds or flu is take equal parts elderberry, echinacea, and goldenseal about every three hours. About 85% of the time, it will kill it in six hours. I caught one nasty cold it would not kill, but reduced the symptoms substantially.

add olive leaf extract to your mixture and that is what I take as well. I have COPD (just diagnosed with it-killed my mom a few years ago and asthma as well. I also beat the hantavirus and bronchitis this last month.

I keep a bottle of elderberry on hand, at the first sign that I am coming down with something I take it. It always knocks it out. I give it to my kids as well. Same thing for them.

What about other cultivars of Elderberry (not nigra), such as Adams or Johns? Do they have the same/similar health benefits/antioxidants and cold/flu fighting abilities?

I used a few drops of Elderberry extrate externally on a Brown Recluse Spider Bite for a cooling and more body nutrition to the area and it was absorbed immediately. I tried the same immediately afterwards and the same absorbtion took place. I also take Elderberry and Echenacea orally. I have done other things for the bite, but I was surprised that it absorbed it so quickly,as if it was starving for it. The area on my leg felt much better. M-grapes

I also do not have experience, however, I have been searching to find out which kind of elderberry bush has a gnarly-looking 'trunk' and branches. It looks like a miniature version of some ancient, twisted tree. All the images online show the berries and leaves, but no branches. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks!

Yes, I heard that the red elderberry is poisonous. Is that so? My friend likes to make elderberry wine but does not dare to do so now. Please answer me John.

I was recently diagnosed with thyroiditis and was reading up on elderberry in regard to increasing thyroid function. I started taking two capsules daily of Pure elderberry and my symptoms went away. I will continue to take it as a daily part of my health regime.

I had to have my thyroid removed 30 yrs ago due to thyroid cancer. I still might have had mine if I knew about iodine. You need to take iodine once a day.

Do the health benefits vary from 1 type of elderberry to another? What about those pretty powder-blue ones?

Is Elderberry juice something one should take all the time or only when needed? Does anyone have any long term use experience with using Elderberry as an ongoing dietary supplement?

We had elderberry pies all the time when we were kids in N.Y. We were never sick with colds. My mother would make me a pie for my birthday every Feb. from the elderberrys that she had canned. No adverse effects from elderberrys.

Do you think drops of elderberry can be used to relief the fever on a almost 12 months`s baby? We are in Quebec and somebody said we can give the baby a maximum of 8ml per day (baby fever due to teething), 0,5ml each 30 minutes. As it works for flu and colds we would like to know if you think it can also relief a baby`s fever?? We don`t want to use chemical medicine!!! Thanks

Redfeather

Try taking the baby to the doctor or a naturalopathy doctor. Dont gamble with a baby's life. The elderberry will not harm the baby but you need to see a doctor. I am Redfeather (Shawnee Shaman) from Texas

I have a summer virus that was lasting 2 1/2 weeks. It felt like a flu without a fever...body aches, weakness, foggy head slight head ache and extreme pain in my shoulder. At first I thought it was Lyme Disease but my doctor confirmed it was just a virus. I remembered that elderberry syrup had helped in the past and just started taking it yesterday. Today I feel 40% better and well enough to go out.

Redfeather

also add regular vitamin D not D3 everyday. Take about 3 to 4. It helps with viruses, flu, colds ect. You should keep the elderberry on hand as well as olive leaf extract, goldenseal, echinacea. Also add a couple pills of magnesium because it will boost the effects of the other herbs. And dont forget the vitamin C.

Need to proof read your website before posting the info to the public. Read the following:Elderberry juice was used to treat a flu epidemic in Panama in 19951. To my knowledge there was no year 19951.

Your site is very easy to read and informative. I have not tried it yet, but I am going to try it. I wonder how it will do with stage 3 COPD, I don't think it could hurt.

I have had many years experience with elder berry, I'm a herbalist and have used it for flues, swine flue and vomiting and diarrhea. you can make it into a tea or I make into a vegetable glycerin tincture. It is such a good all rounder.I have even used it on my cat that had a very bad infection in his paw,and another that got cat flue. worked in 3 days.

Black Elderberry is what helped my brother to get thru west nile virus. i looked on the internet when he was going thru this, and this was one of the main remedies for this terrible virus that can be very debilitating. of course prayer to God and His wisdom in what to do and His healing power all worked together to heal my brother.
