Until...
dun dun dun...
There is some research that elderberry extract can reduce the duration and severity of the flu and possibly colds. I decided to put this to the test when I started feeling sick on Saturday. I bought some elderberry extract and poured a teaspoon of the deep red liquid into the clear dosage cup, added a dash of water, brought the swiring dark red liquid to my lips, looked down, and nearly gagged.
Elderberry extract diluted with water in a plastic dosage cup looks exactly like menstrual blood in a diva cup.
4 days later, after 4 doses of elderberry a day, and I still have to fight my gag reflex to drink the stuff. In this way, I have discovered the limit of my newfound appreciation for menstrual blood--I won't be drinking it any time soon. ;-)
On another note, my plants do evidently enjoy "drinking" menstrual blood. I read in some of the older entries about blood diluted with water, so I watered my plants that way once (theyve been sitting in too-small pots with old soil for quite some time and were looking pretty sad) and wow, two of the four noticably sprang to life.
