re: Tamiflu- safe or not?

Its perfectly safe, I caution to not follow the latest at home remedy "elderberry syrup" that locals are swearing by. It isn't made the same by any 2 people. has dangerous side effects in some folks, if not cooked and cooled properly can cause bacteria to grow and you end up sicker than you are already with gastro issues on top of the flu. Not only that... "IF" Tamiflu did have a bad side effect you know the company to settle with in a lawsuit. If Your elderberry syrup kills you there is no way to track owner, batches, stores it may be in and who may have bought it and its setting on a shelf waiting to harm the next.

^^ all that came from my local 75 year old doctor that has seen more flu than we can imagine in 50 years o medicine. He also firmly believes Tamiflu helps curve the effect of flu symptoms by about 2 days total. He also believes you can take the flu shot and shove it up your hind end. Every year the chance the flu shot will help that one or two people that may catch the exact replicated strain its meant to prevent is about like hitting 5 out of the 6 powerball numbers any given year and looking back over the life span of flu vaccine shots in america. It has never not one single year had an effect of impact on the overall cases of flu in America as compared per capita...... his words its FKN worthless.
