Elderberry Natural Immune Boosters Help For H1N1

By Christian Porter

H1N1 Swine Flu talk is everywhere. Certain individuals push for us to get the flu shot, it is a personal decision we all have to make. Whatever your decision is, you should seriously consider Immune System Boosters.

People are now paying attention to the advice of doctor's such as Dr. Oz and the use of natural immune system boosters, they get the credit for sharing it with all of us, when this information has been around for centuries. For decades herbalists have been scoffed at for recommending elderberry for flu, but now popular doctors are recommending it.

Rick Sponaugle, MD, Medical Director of Florida Detox and Wellness Institute says; " Increasing levels of natural killer cells (white blood cells), prevents infection with swine flu and other viruses. Natural Killer Cells protect us from viruses, during new infections, while other white blood cells attempt to produce antibodies against new viruses. A "healthy immune system" will increase protection from viruses, including the H1N1 virus - swine flu. Research proves herbal and nutritional supplements can dramatically increase protection from swine flu by increasing levels of natural killer cells, which destroy viruses, without attacking healthy body cells.

In a placebo-controlled, double-blind study, elderberry was shown to be effective for treating Influenza B. People using the elderberry extract recovered much faster than those only on a placebo. Patients in the extract group had "pronounced improvements" in flu symptoms after three days: nearly 90% of patients had complete cure within two to three days. The extract group had no drowsiness, the downside of many flu treatments. The placebo group didn't recover until at least day six; they also took more painkillers and nasal sprays.
