Comment: Echinacea is SUPER effective.. and it's one of the best things that ever happened to me. For MANY years I was plagued with repeat and severe sinus infections. My primary care physician had PAGES of notes on me about this, as I kept returning to him every few months. Each time he prescribed a new round of antibiotics.. and it would get temporarily better.. then return with a vengeance ! One day it got so bad, that I left work and rushed to the emergency room with extreme rattling in my chest.. I was sure I had pneumonia. Again, another round of antibiotics. In desperation, I went to my local health food store and asked if they could suggest anything for severe sinus infections. The owner said " Don't you take echinacea ? " I said no and I'd never heard of it. So I bought some and started taking it as suggested. In a fairly short time, the condition cleared up.. AND I"VE NEVER HAD A SINUS INFECTION SINCE !!! That was about 10 years ago. Later I asked my Dr if he was familiar with Echinacea.. and he didn't have a clue. Now I buy most of my food there, alot of supplements, and I NEVER get sick and I'm 63 ! Other than that one episode, I don't think I've ever missed a day of work in 13 years straight. Find a good health store and a knowledgeable person there and get advice about this and other conditions. Much about the trypical American diet is the root of our chronic illnesses.. and drugs are not the answer. Take responsability for your health and seek alternative answers.. and you'll be amazed at the results !!!
