Elderberry Extract – The Most Effective Fruit Known To Man Against The Cold And Flu
An Israeli study of Sambucol found that it works quickly against several strains of influenza viruses, with ninety percent of patients completely cured in two to three days after supplementation. (6)
A particularly virulent micro-organism that has become known as the H1N1 (Type A) flu is highly contagious and accounts for an estimated ninety-six percent of all confirmed types of flu in Canada. (7) Elderberry extract has been found to almost completely block H1N1’s (and others’) replication, shutting it down in short order. (8)
One of the phytochemicals in elderberry has been aptly named “antivirin” from a 1967 study that first published its discovery. Antivirin (AV)
“inhibits the development of plaques of polio virus in the fluid of the cultures in the absence of viral infection…AV is a new substance which is produced from cultured cells and inhibits the intracellular multiplication of several animal viruses…AV may be one kind of complicated protein…The effect of this inhibitor was of rather wide spectrum. Both of RNA viruses and DNA ones were inhibited with this inhibitor.” (9)
Some years ago, the avian (H5N1) flu was widely publicized as a potential pandemic. In truth, only 860 confirmed cases have been reported worldwide since 2003, however, over half of those cases proved fatal. (10) While its transmission between humans has not been demonstrated, the fear is that H5N1 might evolve to enable its ability to do so, as most micro-organisms will adapt to protect themselves against threats to their survival (such as antibiotics). (11, 12) Elderberry extract has been found active against H5N1—it’s with good reason that Hippocrates referred to the elder tree as his “medicine chest”. (13)
Elderberry Extract Isn’t Just Limited to the Cold And Flu
Just as important as elderberries’ ability to stop viruses in their tracks after infection, by virtue of their antioxidants they can prevent infection in the first place.
“In addition to its antiviral properties, Sambucol Elderberry Extract and its formulations activate the healthy immune system by increasing inflammatory cytokine production. Sambucol might therefore be beneficial to the immune system activation and in the inflammatory process in healthy individuals or in patients with various diseases.” (14)
Other studies of Sambucol’s effects suggest that its stimulation of the immune system make it a potent antidote to people suffering from a depressed immune system, cancer, AIDS, and consequences of chemotherapy. (15) Elderberries are naturally rich in vitamins A, B6, C, calcium, and iron.
