Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I know a girl () who almost died from Echinacea. She took it to remedy a cold, but ended up in ICU the same night. Turns out she was severely allergic to Echinacea. It's also the reason why I won't give it to my kids. You can have a severe reaction to if if your allergic to it.All The Best, ...helpful support groups for people with MSLDN_Users & www.ldnusers.orglow dose naltrexonemscuredTheChronicIllnessCafe On Jun 6, 2006, at 5:05 PM, foxhillers@... wrote: I have never seen a death related to Echinacea.

Re: [low dose naltrexone] EchinaceaPosted by: " C" covo@... covoygTue Jun 6, 2006 8:13 am (PST),Echinacea is very widely known and available here. Any health food shop and even some/most supermarkets carry it. However, do some research as there are contraindications for it's use for certain people and in some circumstances I believe it has even caused deaths. Even if it weren't for that, if the LDN is working for you I would be hesitant to use echinacea in addition in case it somehow cut down the effectiveness of the LDN. mjh"The Basil Book"http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
