    dear wacco ones and beyond ~ please protect yourself and your loved ones and all.
    spread the word: no fear bout flu - get alkaline and stay clear and strong with (as much as you can) organic, raw, vegan food and superfood boosters.
    and, ta da - elderberries.
    read, learn, share, act.
    love to you and through you, judith

    There are quite a few elderberry based supplements available. Sambucol was the first on the market back in the 90s. I keep a bottle of elderberry, C and zinc lozenges handy, but I haven't gotten a cold or a flu since I started taking Vit D3.

    elderberry syrup tastes delicious and is very effective with colds and flu. I keep it on hand all winter, thank you for reminding me to go buy some. If you don't want to make your own you can buy it as Sambucol at Community Market, Raley's, and other places that sell over the counter and herbal medicines.

    Hi Elderberry fans:

    Just a quick FYI: while the S. mexicana berries are safe, they are safer with cooking; the leaves, stems and roots are TOXIC. This is unlike the European elderberry S. nigra. See Caution - Elderberry can be dangerous. (The "religious center" mentioned in the article is the Tassajara Zen Center.) Also, some children have been poisoned making and playing flutes out of elderberry wood. (This is info from an "Edible Plants" class I took years ago at Pt. Reyes.)

    Some time with Google - there seem to be two native species in California that are interchangeably called the "blue" or "mexican" elderberry, one high elevation and one coastal. There is also the "red" elderberry in these parts that may be more toxic. I've seen both growing together at Pt. Reyes.

    Happy naturecrafting!
    S

    After trying many varieties of elderberry products, my favorite is only available online from Vitacost. I use the ultra concentrate syrup. Here is their whole line:

    You can also get dried elderberries at the Sonoma County Herb Exchange.
    They provide locally and sustainably grown medicinal herbs for our communities. 707-824-1447

    In season (June-ish through September-ish) they also provide fresh elderberries.
