Wow....thank you. I just have that Permi idea that every plant that shows it's face to me....does so for a reason. I did not know about the connection with tamiflu ($125.00 for a treatment). I had the bad flu that was going around and ended up at the hospital. I told my kids...I'm getting too old for that....and I was worried that the next time I get the flu I might not be able to kick it. I think I'm going to add some of this and the elderberry treatment as part of a healthy living treatment. I am really surprised at how much alike the "ball" and the flu virus look alike.
