Experiences with

Echinacea

Anybody got any advice on whether it is okay to take Echinacea alongside Levo? I keep getting viruses atm (like everyone else) and I used to find it quite useful if taken within first 24hrs but I'm nervous that taking it now I'm on these meds might be a problem.

Garshe shared the story of the above and I now have to tell the tale of Princess Diana's funeral when a friend of mine's family gathered together to watch the ceremony live on TV with all the pomp and ceremonial grandeur. This is a large Essex family who often holiday together, aunts and uncles, nieces

Under direction from my Integrative medicine doc I continue to use Echinacea/Reishi tea and added Astralagus 1125mg/day to boost the immune system. It looks like it might actually be helping. It appears that the 45mcg dose of Pegasys is working well for me.

Has anyone taken Echinacea while on Hydroxycarbamide?
