Thanks Charlene,
I buy the elderberries dried from The Real Foods Company, there are many places that sell them. They need to be cooked as raw elderberry is poisonous. I use two teaspoons of dried elderberry in a pint or so of water and a heaped teaspoon of honey. I stew for 5 to 10 mins and strain to serve as tea.

Thanks Charlene for your message re Serrapeptase, I would love to know what the negative was re ipf. obviously , with the lack of research into alternatives we are all fishing a little for indicators of what works.

Hi, It is difficult to anticipate germs at this time of year, as they become more prevalent. I am giving my mother regular doses of elderberry which I buy dried and boil in water.

Hi Charlene, My mother Began to find scents and itchy skin with ipf, but it was perhaps her steroid meds with the skin. She is taking a COD liver oil supplement to help relieve skin dryness and it has worked.The scent sensitivity is perhaps because she has oxygen and it changes the enjoyment of strong scents. Hope this helps. Zoe

Hi @zoejames, thanks so much for your post and good questions! I’m actually not aware of any blood sugar/diabetic links and IPF, and can’t even think of any forum members who have both off the top of my head who might be able to help you. If you’re in getting your Mother’s medication updated/filled, you may be able to ask the pharmacist if they…[Read more]
