I've been taking Echinacea for 20 years now. First introduced to me by my father. I actually remember the first time I took it in college when I was starting to get a cold. Couldn't believe how overnight it knocked the cold out. It is a crime that "regular" doctors across the US don't prescribe this. I use it every time I am feeling a cold or flu come on. It usually knocks it out within 24 hours. I also use it ever time I fly - take it before and after the flight to help make sure I don't get sick from others on the plane. I used to get something 50% of the time on long flights. Now-- nothing. The only downside I've noticed is that if I use it too often, it effect goes down, as if my body gets "used to it."
