I'm a Certified Herbalist and Traditional Naturopath and absolutely love Elderberry. It is a great antiviral and something that is good for children, pregnant and elders. I've been using elderberry for over 5 years to support my immune system. I only use black elderberry. I've used it in capsule form for over 10 years but recently planted a black lace elderberry that developed berries and am using it in a tonic. I planted two different elderberry plants this year and am looking forward to making more things elderberry next year. I have made elderflower syrup along with other herbs for a children's cough syrup that has great medicinal benefits. Mary Born, ND
I've been doing a deep dive on viruses and how they're "isolated" in a lab and it's led me to believe they don't actually exist in Nature. If you look at allll the papers, in the methods section of their experiments, they use diseased cells, monkey kidney cells, and fetal bovine serum. They starve the cells, treat them with antibiotics, most add non-essential amino acids and minimal nutrients. Once they've stressed the culture for days or weeks, then they use formaldehyde and other chemicals to kill the culture and prepare it for electron microscopy, where they add more chemicals, dyeing agents, and encapsulate the culture medium in resin, which then has to harden before they can slice the material they want to view. Only then can they see the product of their experimental soup. No virus has actually ever been isolated within a diseased person, without mixing a bunch of different diseased cells, growth medium from different species, starving the cultures, using antibiotics, etc. Even polio was found after taking brain tissue from dead babies, brain tissue from dead monkeys, and shoved up the nose of mice and monkeys. None of this actually happens in Nature. You don't have fetal bovine serum being cultured in your body. I absolutely love elderberry and believe it enhances our body, but it isn't actually an anti-viral l, as leading scientists and doctors have proven the viral particles don't exist without the aforementioned processes. It is so sad what they're doing to these poor animals, trying to find ways cells become pathogenic.
I planted some elderberry bushes about 3 or so years ago and this was the first year that I made elderberry jelly and elderberry syrup and I take it every day and I’m so glad I made it because I had the worst respiratory virus I’ve ever had this year
Been using elderberries for a few years now I dry them for tea.. never got Covid or sick since I've been using them.. started an elderberry farm this year.. Thanks for the info!!!
I just bought a few plants and this was good to listen to. I've been hearing throughout the past few years how good elderberry is. I'm excited to watch them grow and add more!
So interesting and informative! In March 2020, I started eating 1 or 2 "Zarbee's black elderberry" gummies every day. Not sure if that's a good formulation or not; it was just the one I found on the shelf at several stores including Whole Foods & Costco. They're delicious enough that I could get my teenager to occasionally eat one. I pretty much did not get sick for two and a half years, other than a 24-hour bug over the winter, and another very mild 24 hour cold which tested positive for C19. These gummies have C and zinc. I also tried to eat oysters as often as possible for the zinc! By the way, it's so heartwarming to see these homesteaders who have huge families of 8, 9, 10 children, living off the land and eating naturally, home schooling. Maybe not huge numbers as yet, but it's a growing movement and it gives us hope for the future. God bless you all!
Thank you so much for this information. I just ordered three 16oz bottles of Elderberry syrup with glycerin from them after watching this video. And thank you for the discount.
I've never had elderberries. But heard the name when I was a kid watching the classic Cary Grant movie Arsenic & Old Lace where Elderberry Wine was a key part of the movie... Great movie...
Very interesting, Carolyn. Thank you for posting this interview. I world love to plant my own elderberry bushes. Can you recommend a source to purchase the plant from?
I grew up eating elderberries by the handful, in PA. They usually grow along a ditch orsome low water. My mother made elderberry pie and elderberry jelly. I don’t recall us ever being ill with colds or flu, until many years later, the elderberry was plowed under for a driveway. I haven’t found any in decades. Be VERY sure it IS elderberry and not some other ‘birdberry’, as we called everything else!!
The Elderberry tree use to be the symbol for the Mother goddess, aside from the flowers and the berries the young shoots are also edible and the rotting wood produces edible mushrooms we call Judasears.
The first time I heard about Elderberries was when I tried a beer made from it by Williams Brothers Brewery. A Scottish craft brew company that used to export to North America. That's not the case anymore unfortunately.
Regarding Cyanide, I would point you to the Little Cyanide Cookbook along with the book by A World Without Cancer by Griffin. Elderberries are a source of vitamin B17 which is a preventative.
Been using elderberry for years. It's the real deal for medicine. We use the berries for muffins and fermented in honey or other baked goods. Also berry syrup and flower tincture for medicine. Never had an issue eating American elderberry raw but I hadn't eaten them in huge quantities at once. Elderberry may have been what saved me from having the convids. Darn near killed me. However treated with tons of various herbs including elderberry, honey fermented garlic, and adaptagenic mushrooms. May not be here today if I hadn't used elderberry during the infection(or poisoning whatever you believe).
Elderberry is good for general health, but for respiratory issues you should definitely include mullein tea. Super effective and even easier to find than elderberries!
Great info! One question I have and never hear anyone say, can frozen berries be used to make medicine/tinctures/shrubs, etc? TBH, I've just started listening, so it might be covered eventually . . . thanks!
I live in North idaho and my elderberries look like they are ready to pick , but really how can I tell? They are American elderberry that I planted but I’ve been told they are ready to pick when they have a white coating on them 💁🏻♀️help!!
I know you can find elderberries in yawls area, but I’m not sure about down here in Savannah, Georgia. Furthermore, can you buy an elderberry seed or plant and if so, how long before you can start using it?
Are the health benefits of the American Elderberry and the European Elderberry equivalent I wonder? I have an autoimmune disease and this sounds very interesting. I actually have a mature elderberry bush in my garden, but unfortunately because it's a North facing garden all the berries and leaves grow into the neighbours garden, and she's extremely private😢
Trim your brush back take your trimmings and put them in water let them get root bound and replant them some where else. Or take your trimmings and dip them in a root growth powder and put them in potting soil and plant them some where else. Make sure you find out what kind plant is. They have this app. On your phone that you just pointed your phone at and it tells you that type of plant you have .
@@debbiemoore9069 Hey thank you for your great advice! I have taken your advice and downloaded a plant I.D. app called PlantNet. I'll use it on the morning, though I'm pretty sure the bush is an elderberry.
We began with and raised cornish cross for so many years, but this year have tried to switch to Deleware breeds to try to be a little more self-sustainin
Because of the huge volume we are doing, especially this year, we are buying certified organic berries in bulk. John wasn't able to produce his own berries to keep up with the demand either. We are currently going through 100+ lbs of dry berries each month - which equals 600-800 lbs of fresh berries! Thats a whole lot of plants and picking!
We had 1 A2 cow at one point and kept her milk separate for our customers, but found that there wasn't a large demand for her milk specifically. Several of our friends thought they needed A2 but it turns out it was just the pasteurization that was giving them troubles and they handled raw perfectly fine. Thats obviously not the case for everyone...
I really wish you two (Caroline and Josh) would get back to doing the regular, full length pantry chats TOGETHER, at the same table in the same room. Got to say I am not really pleased with the current direction you are going in. It's like, for me, you are getting too big to be much good or interest to me. Makes me sad because I use to learn so much from you two.

I'd like to plant some elderberry around the yard. We're just heading into fall here in New England so I imagine have to wait till spring?

Abby's Elderberry is the best!
Very interesting, Carolyn. Thank you for posting this interview. I world love to plant my own elderberry bushes. Can you recommend a source to purchase the plant from?
We like www.strictlymedicinalseeds.com and here is more info on the different varieties: homesteadingfamily.com/elderberry-benefits/
My grandmother was PA Dutch. She made elderberry pie and I loved it. I haven't had them in 46 years. I don't even know where to find them.
You can plant your own, but you can find them just about every rural country roadside.
I grew up eating elderberries by the handful, in PA. They usually grow along a ditch orsome low water. My mother made elderberry pie and elderberry jelly. I don’t recall us ever being ill with colds or flu, until many years later, the elderberry was plowed under for a driveway. I haven’t found any in decades.

And here we used to eat them straight off the bush when we were kids with no ill effect 😅 but I’m not an herbalist so don’t listen to me 😅
Do you have a recipe for hibiscus elderberry tea? I am growing hibiscus tea plant and I have elderberry plants also.
Yay🎉 Idaho 🎉❤
Very interesting?
Can you mix Mullin and Elderberry?

I am curious about adding elderberry to my fire cider. In the place of cranberries or pomegranate.
Check out the book Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends. It has recipes using elderberries
