I'm currently suffering from a horrible cold and am trying something new - to me, at least. I've read that taking echinaceae could help shorten the length of time you have the cold. I'm also trying zinc lozens. Felt pretty rotten all day yesterday, not as bad this morning, but could be becasue I wentto bed at 7:30 last night! Anyway, interested to know if anyone else had tried this remedy. Barb p.s. we leave Feb. 27th for the Philad Flower show. anyone in this group going to be there? We will visit the flower show on tuesday, March 3 Barb Rothenberger Columbia, Mo,
