I have been taking this herb now for 12 years and finally had my 1st cold in 11 years. If I would have taken it in an aggreesive matter right when I started feeling the cold come on I would have beaten a cold this time. I start taking it the 1st of October and I will take it until the end of March the following year. If I feel a sickness coming on I will take 3 capsules, 3 times a day for 3 days . ...

Always eat a bite of food afterwards because it has an after taste that is not nice ,,

I use A Vogel Echinaforce tincture. I've used this when needed for almost 30 years. When my daughters caught a cold when they were children, Echinaforce knocked it on the head. My 15 year old son takes it at the first sign of a cold and again it stops it in it's tracks. My daughter uses it for her 3 daughters, ages 9, 6 and 3.

I was first given this product by the Naturopath Jan De Vries ( A Vogel was his friend and mentor). I cannot rate it high enough. I have M.E and it helps on bad days with that too. An amazing medicine. But pharmaceutical companies make billions from cold remedies. So it will always be critised.

I now avoid anything with it. It happened more than ... Show Full Comment

HOWEVER, after not taking it for 6-8 months, I became HIGHLY allergic. Once digested, my insides wanted to explode and I would start vomitting stomach acid. It was a nightmare. I now avoid anything with it. It happened more than once so I was able to pinpoint what caused it.

Our family uses Blackmores echinacea liquid at first signs of colds and it works for us. Our daughter used to have ear infections after every cold as a 4- 5 year old. Someone recommended echinacea and she never had another ear infection when echinacea was used at the first signs of a cold.
