In this lecture, we explore the results of months of intense clinical practice, observation, and research into the different types of epidemic diseases, their manifestations, risks, and effective treatment strategies with botanical medicine.

Subsequently, across the 1800s, all schools of medicine used them as primary medicines.  Both were official in the US Pharmacopoeia throughout the 1800s. The British herbalists used them, and one Brit who is stated to have treated 10,000 patients using these herbs with others during the 1918 flu pandemic said he did not lose a patient. These two were also among the top herbs to treat influenza among the Eclectics in the US during the 1918 pandemic. Bring it up to today, and these two herbs are extremely valuable in COVID, and I have seen or have case reports on one or the other being a \"game-changer\" when introduced to an individual with long lingering symptoms.
