J - If you can figure out a way I can get paid for it, I would LOVE to do just that. I've run into a stumbling block with doing individual consultations in that insurers don't want to give malpractice insurance since I would possibly be giving advice to patients who don't reside in the state I am licensed in? And coaching insurances don't cover people with professional degrees like mine. Any ideas how I could get someone to just pay me to run a Q and A website?
As for the elderberry - since avian flu is not a threat this year, I wouldn't take it. Probably it is okay, but you never know - just because something is a food doesn't necessarily mean it is safe in concentrated form for breastfeeding. BUT - if there was a national emergency with people dropping like flies? Heck yes, I'd take it, even if breastfeeding.
Luckily, it looks like avian flu, if it happens (i.e. if it mutates to a form transmissible person-to-person and becomes a pandemic) is still anywhere from 1 to 5 years away.
