Hi Barb,
I use a combination echinacea/goldenseal capsule if I feel like I am coming
down with something. I am using it now as a preventative med because my
son has a cold, and he is taking 2 caps 2-3 times a day. He is really
healthy, and has only missed 2 days of middle school, one Oct of 6th grade,
and one Feb of 8th. He really only felt bad for a day with taking the
echinacea. I really believe in the stuff. Hope you feel better soon.
