SambuGuard, a blend o f Elderberries, Echinacea and Vitamin C, is effective on many levels. Dr. David W ikenheiser, a prominent Vancouver Naturopathic doctor states, "This com bination takes three o f the m ost w idely recognized and researched immune enhancing herbs and com bines them into a new and effective remedy. Elderberries have been used m edicinally for many years and are recognized by the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia and German -Commision E for their ability to treat sore throats, fevers, chills, and rem ove m ucous from the lungs and nasal passages." Dr. W ikenheiser also notes that, "Echinacea and Vitamin C are well known for their roles in boost ing the im mune system and assisting the body in fighting o ff viruses that can cause colds and flu. Further research shows that elderberries may actually `disarm ' invading viruses, rendering them incapable o f penetrating healthy cells and spreading any further. (Reference: Mars, Brigitte, Elder: The amazing healing benefits o f Elder) o »* p t: r s <> I* T I M U M 123H Sb "MW 01 2 "Being in a liquid form, the product is w ell suited for people with sore or irritated throats. To put it simply, SambuGuard fights the viruses that cause colds and the flu and at the same time, reduces the symptoms that may accompany them," concludes Dr, Wikenheiser. SambuGuard com es in a liquid form that is quite pleasant and is therefore easy for the entire fam ily to take.
