what's the deal with elderberry syrup

Elderberries are rich in vitamins A, B, and C and stimulate the immune system. They've been a traditional cold and flu remedy for hundreds of years. They're known to have high antioxidant activity and the bioflavonoids and other proteins of the juice of the berry destroy the ability of a cold or flu virus to infect the cell.

why is filtered water important

In our home, we use the Berkey water filter. It filters viruses, pathogenic bacteria, lead, parasites, arsenic, iron, mercury, chlorine, trihalomethane, bisphenol-a, chloramines, pharmaceuticals, petroleum contaminants, methylcycohexane-methane, pesticides, heavy metals, coliform and e-coli, atrazine, uranium, gross alpha emitters, and fluoride. Those things could really be in our tap water? Yes! To find out what's in your tap water, go to ewg.org/tapwater.
