VeryGood Walmart(Brand) Capsules I can't afford to have a Cold Or UTI; Echinesa Is Grreat for My Breathing(Asthma More Energy) AS Well!! ;-) TRY IT!!!

I started taking this during a recent bout with flu that I just couldn't get over. My doctor had sent me out a Z-pack but I was still fighting cold symptoms, fever, vomiting, swollen glands, and extreme lethargy. I began taking 760mg daily Echinacea combined with 1000mg of Garlic. My results were almost instantaneous. I was back up and running full speed within 24 hours. I have continued taking the recommended doses for each supplemental in addition to my One-A-Day for Men and I have felt great - no viruses whatsoever.Read More Read Less

I have been taking Echinacea for over 11 years now. I've severe alergies to dust, polan and to cats. since one of my past co-worker introduced me to this herb, it really helps me a lot when I am suffering with my alergies. I only take this herb as needed.

I over came a cold and an allergy in 7 days this way: Combine 1.5 viles(eye droplet delivery)of echinacea golden seal liquid with one tab of Airborne;lime flavor, in a 4oz cup of warm water (like a tea). Drink 3x a day with a meal. Each time after the tea,I took two caps of Kyolic aged garlic extract that I purchased from the Whole Foods Store. A 25yr R.N. referred this remedy to me. I also took (1)over-the-counter allergy tab with the tea combo, kept warm, stayed away from people and slept alot. All coughing and sneezing stopped within 7days. All my energy and mental stamina came back. I try to stay away from antibiotics as they dump me even further down, though, many MD's prescribe them to help. Read More Read Less

If I start to feel like I am coming down with a cold or the flu, I begin taking 3 tablets morning noon and night for about 3 days; cut back to 2 tablets, morning, noon, and night for about 1 week. I usually have it, whatever the problem is, under control. and I can stop taking it. Echinaca usually does the trick, along with Tylonol or Aleve.

I have been taking echinacea for 2 1/2 years, and since I began taking it regularly (two 350mg capsules in the morning and one at night), I have not had any type of virus, not even the common cold. No sickness at all for 2 and a half years. For me, that is nothing short of miraculous. Before I started taking echinacea, I was getting bronchitis every winter/spring. The cough would hang on for 2-3 months. I'm very happy to be virus-free. BTW, my husband has had the exact same result - also beginning taking echinacea at the same time I did. I know it has really built up my immune system. Everyone should take it! Who needs a flu shot?Read More Read Less

Fluid extracts of Echinacea species as prescribed by a professional phytotherapist have shown a positive effect on my antibody (lymphocyte) count on various occasions via serum blood test when I've been prescribed sufficient and effective doses for treating me for influenza A infections (including suspect H1N1 a few weeks ago). This resulted in reduced severity and duration of infection and has proven to be beneficial used as a prophylactic for many other general viral and bacterial infections in the past.I have suffered no apparent side effects and I know of no specific contra-indications even with pharmaceutical drugs.Read More Read Less

I have been drinking Echincea tea for about 15 years. No more doctor visits. I have given it to family and friends. Everyone swears by it.
