To all my buddies -
Not that I think avian flu is an immediate threat or anything - but should it develop into one in the next few years - just wanted to share with you some research suggesting elderberry syrup is an effective treatment for flu. Since drug resistance is a problem, and drug availability will definitely become a problem if there is a pandemic, thought this might be worth tucking in your memory banks:

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming
