Good lord girlfriend where in the world did you get that information?

I have taken echinacea all my life when I felt something coming on.

This is like when I had my first child and he had to stay in the

hospital because of jaundice..they told me NOT to breastfeed him, that

it was bad for him due to the liver etc. Come to find out later it was

the BEST thing I could have done for him. STUPID DOCTORS!

Anyway you have to begin building up the immune system dear.

What you are doing with the lemon and any over the counter medicine is

treating SYMPTOMS NOT getting the root cause of the problem.

Want to talk further just say so and I can help.

Amy, we welcome all views on this list--including conventional,

scientific, clinical views, just so you know. No one has all the answers.

It appears that there is a currently a debate over whether echinacea

harms people with autoimmune disease or not. The MS society

contraindicates it for those with MS. If it works for you, great, but

I've always been told to steer clear.
