Echinacea

I have no idea about what kind of grade echinacea gets from the evidence based medicine people but I recently felt the nearly imperceptible beginnings of a cold and anticipated it before going to bed with a shit ton of echinacea... for almost my entire life a cold has meant 2 to 3 days of sore throat followed by stuffy nose and sinuses for an additional 2 or so days. Once before I was able to take a lot of the stuff at the very moment I felt like something was sort of up, and had good results. This time, the following day after waking up, I experienced a mild sore throat for about 4 hours. The other symptoms have been milder than normal, excluding the runny nose. I have absolutely no idea if the two are related. Could have just gotten a weak cold, but this does remind me of the other time many years ago when I took a shit ton of this stuff (like 4-5x the recommended amount of 3000mgs). Interesting on an anecdotal at least.

My girlfriend had a terrible cold last week... She had all the symptoms, and felt like a bag of crap. I took 3 1200mg capsules of echinacea every morning and night, and had fantastic results... I've concluded through many forum searches, speaking with various doctors, etc... That it really depends on the individual, but if it works for you, keep doing it!
