As good as Tamiflu

Read an article recently regarding help for easing flu symptoms. A good alternative to Tamiflu is Natures Way Sambucus. I researched it some and found that this is every bit as effective as Tamiflu. It is one of natures most potent antivirals and is made from black elderberry. It can be bought at your local pharmacy or Wal Mart. I got a flu shot but my children and husband didn't so I got some to have on hand just in case.

Elder Berries are amazing healers. The only thing I would caution is make sure that it does not interfere with any medication that you take on a regular bases.

I have used Boiron Oscillococcinum for years. It is also an effective anti viral. You can purchase it at the Vitamin Shoppe. Good to know that there is another alternative. Take care.
