Cranberry juice again

I need to read my own posts. I got another intestinal bug a few weeks ago, and I forgot what I learned and posted about cranberry juice. I did remember and take some cranberry pills after a couple of days, and then I was back to normal. So I don't know now if it was because of the cranberry, or I was just getting all better by then.

Cranberry juice against gastrointestinal viruses

This is good news. Since I moved to Oregon, I got an intestinal bug twice. The first time really bad; the second time bad. I think maybe I'm not used to the West Coast viruses or something, because I hadn't gotten that sick for years.

They found that cranberry juice prevented the SA-11 virus from attaching to red blood cells or infecting host cells, and when they looked at the SA-11 cell cultures under high-magnification microscopes, there were no viral particles in those treated with juice, and says Cohen, the effect was immediate.

This is very useful information. I have to remember this the next time if I feel a bug coming on.
