    A bunch of posts about elderberries for #COVID19 are going viral This is absurd There is minimal evidence that elderberries *might* be able to kill influenza in a petri dish There is NO evidence that they will do anything for coronavirus

        Elderberry liqueur, on the other hand, is delicious. Probably won't help tho

        There's no evidence they're harmful, and very slight evidence they just might be useful, maybe. Given the potential cost of missing out on something useful that's relatively cheap, I'm not surprised. There's no downside to eating them, and a miniscule possibility of upside.

        Given that people hoard toilet paper, I'd book that under the "still mildly reasonable" column.

        Elderberries are for simpletons, the true connaisseur opts for Siberian Larch extract (dihydroquercetin)... ...and there is actually some scientific evidence that this compound might hamper SARS-CoV-2 infection. (Computer analysis, but still)

        The claim is that elderberries stimulate your immune system & increase cytokines. A cytokine storm is what causes ARDS in people with #COVID19 So at best they do nothing, at worst they actually kill you

        What about licorice + a K-sparing diuretic? I mean the herb, not the candy.
