Anyway, interested to know if anyone else had tried this remedy. >> Barb > >After reading a number of research articles on the positive >results of echinacea and zinc on a number of health-related >things, I decided to try it. I take the NOW brand Elder-Zinc on >the advice of both my doctor, pharmacist and herbalist friend. Jamie: thanks for the name - I will look for NOW elder zinc. Biggest problem I have been having is know HOW much to take - directions are vague - zinc says 1-3 but now how often etc. I have been taking echinaceae three times a day and the zinc more often. The zinco also contains echinaceae as well as vitamin C. Anyway, felt MUCH better yesterday, so hope it is working! Barb Rothenberger Columbia, Mo,
