You might mention in the future, to stay away from DARK roast. The extra long heating time promotes Cancer, ect. I use “medium” now.

My reading of the articles on cytokine storm are all written to explain why a healthy individual died from influenza,yet all use of elderberry for influenza is positive. I haven’t seen any articles discussing cytokine storm in association with CO19. I am also curious about use of elderberry as prophylactic and treatment if symptoms develop. I have seen warnings from places not to use but no official medical studies or articles. I recall hearing a patient from cruise ship saying he was given gatorade and elderberry while in isolation in the hospital Interested in others perspective.

Logically, it would seem you do NOT want to consume something that would encourage releasing cytokines until Covid 19 is contained. This actually seems dangerous to take right now, in spite of all the other benefits. Please enlighten us.

It is from this study: Kong F. Pilot clinical study on a proprietary elderberry extract: Efficacy in addressing influenza symptoms. Online J. Pharmacol. Pharmacokinet. 2009;5:32–43.

I wish someone would put together a website just for older people with recipes, nutritional and alternative medicinal information, and exercise and stretches.
So many of us are now home bound as our families are not wanting us to see anyone for the next two-three weeks. We need to get creative with recipes as we cannot get the food delivered we need as the grocery stores cannot handle the requests.
