Ruddy Nora I feel completely MARVELLOUS

[FrannyandZooey]

After having felt completely grim for over 2 weeks, I threw myself at the mercy of my local health food shop and was sold this and this

I started taking them on Friday, felt like I had been hit by a brick yesterday and then today....

......I feel fantastic, the best I have felt for weeks

I want to go out and do stuff but dp has banned me and says I have to stay in and rest

but seriously, if anyone is suffering with persistent colds and stuff and feeling rundown, I would SO recommend these two things

(you may of course wait to see if I drop dead in the course of the week)

don't faint at the prices but if it gets you from feeling shite to feeling fab I reckon it is a bargain

Yikes.

Have also been feeling crappy for a couple of week. Not helped by camping in a howling gale last weekend

But still, yikes...

I'm very very glad f&z

will remember

take advantage of doing nowt

Becky I know

seriously

but I have been so poorly and had to have a day off work which probably cost me around that amount tbh

and I just wasn't getting any better no matter how much I rested etc, something had to be done

Capp I've been doing bugger all for about 2 weeks, I am a little bored of it now...(but point taken)

Sorry, should of course have said how delighted I am that you have recovered.

Clearly I am stalking you Franny

Do you reckon I could take them if I was breastfeeding?

apparently the elder berry extract has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the length of a cold from 5 or 6 days to 2 or 3 days

they reckon you should keep it in the house and start taking it at the first hint of a cold, or even every day as a preventative

so maybe you could just try that Becky, as I am taking both, of course I won't know which is doing what

GS the superfoods YES

elder berry I did search and it hasn't been tested enough to say for sure on pg or bf I don't think, but looks safe enough. It says on the packet "do not take if bf" but the woman in the shop says they all say that

search online to get more details, or you might like to phone LLL - they always have the latest information

thanks franny. will call LLL next week about them.

The superfoods should be fine for anyone, because they are just FOOD

taste like manky old spinach though

I swear by elderberry, it really does work. Solgar do a good version in capsule form, works out cheaper than syrup version.

Glad you're feeling better.

I actually feel a bit hopped up LOL

ah well you have to take your thrills where you can find them IMO, and mine is manky old spinach powder

cant be arsed to look

is one spirulina or green algae? have taken for years and credit it to almost boundless energy and glowing skin [preen]

we all take elderberry extract now

no colds this winter

Enid it is everybloodything going

hold on I pasted ingredients on other thread, will go and fetch them

I have never HEARD of elderberry extract

it is superb stuff it seems, but has completely passed me by

whoo hoo

you go girl

Would I get in trouble if I went on every thread in the health section and just said "take THIS"?

what IS spirulina anyway and why should it be good for our health? Isn't it one of the things Gillian Mc Fraud is always on about?

cor, bet that tastes foul

Elderberry extract...

DH will be

But this is the man who had his warts charmed away, so he doesn't really have a leg to stand on...

Fox it does you are very astute there

Becky I will find a clever web page about elderberry to Convince Recalcitrant DPs

Ah yes, your cell walls, verrucas and poos

elderberry tincture rocks, we made some last winter and I take it every time I feel coldy and it goes!

is it a drink or a tablet?
