: Dr. Macknin reports he has been a vegan for 10 years, and the Wendel Family Foundation is supportive of plant-based nutrition. Dr. Macknin also explored the possibility of pursuing a patent for a drug combining oseltamivir and elderberry extract. The Innovations Department at the Cleveland Clinic expressed the belief this combination was not patentable. Therefore, Dr. Macknin will not pursue a patent, but he encourages others to study this combination. No other authors report any conflicts of interest relative to this manuscript.
