Hello. It's controversial legally in our country to tell someone that you might be better off if you take a certain herb. Especially if you are selling them. If Echinacea interfers with a medicine I'm taking I'll stop the medicine first. I'm only taking 3. They would like to drug me with more. I do believe you should tell your doctor first though. I may have witnessed disastorous results from using both at the same time with some of the stronger herbs. I've seen Echinacea do miracles for animals also. It works.
I have had some impressively experience with echinacea and my horses 20 years ago. I took my two horses with me on vacation to the Baltic Sea. When I arrived at the riding stable where my horses had their temporary home all the other horses there had a bad cough. I drove to the next pharmacie store and ordered echinacea for my horses. The next day I got it and I gave my horses every day a shot of echinacea ( it was echinacea specially made for injections ). I saw that my horses had nose to nose contact with coughing horses but after 14 days when my holidays were over I drove home with healthy horses !!!! They don`t got the cough ! Since that experience I am completely convinced that echinacea can do little wonders.
It is a good idea that you take it now. Do you give it Joe too ?

Kelly came back from shopping with some real TYLENOL a pack of gloves and some good looking fruit and produce.
She said that they were also handing out toilet paper. We don't need any.
I'm hoping that at some point, we'll reach some sort of saturation level where some of these items will be common again. Continued hoarding makes no sense.

There must be a bunch of people somewhere out there that have warehouses full of TP at this point. What they intend to do with it all, I can only guess. Don't squeeze the Charmin!

I started last night. I've been hesitant only because I want to be upfront with my doctor. He probably already thinks I'm weird because I won't take just any med. I don't want fired(as his patient)? I probably should start Joe on it also. I'm not letting him run around town since last week but he was out and about before sooo...just in case. I always keep several bottles here because I can order it from a company really cheap. Their vitamins and herbs are very high quality. I'm not going to bother my doctor about me adding this until my phone appointment. This one should be interesting. I'll have to explain why I won't take my medicine for osteoporosis but I started taking my old standby Echinacea. I've seen it bring stray kittens out of feline leukemia. I've also seen it work on a dying baby goose, dogs, etc. What's really interesting is it's nickname is "snake root". It is the Plaines Indians most used medicine for everything including snake bite. It's my favorite herb also.

That point may be close. I didn't go out today but a friend did and she called me while at both stores and both of the stores here had milk and paper towels .

It's really just a matter of transportation catching up.

Stores that were used to having one supply truck come weekly suddenly had 4-5 trucks of product carried out in a single day. Day after day.

Warehouses are not empty...the entire system just has to reacquire stasis.

Most doctors don`t believe that Echinacea can help staying healthy but let them think what they want. I know and you know it helps ! I always treat my animals and me with herbs and it works well. Snake root is an interesting name ! Indians knew so much about plants that can heal several deseases. I wish I would have this knowledge. I am wishing you and Joe all the best.

Another interesting fact is...after antibiotics were discovered the widespread use of Echinacea went down. Then the 1918 "Spanish Flue" took place.? Then another bad one happened around 1922? Not sure of the exact dates and years. I used to have a cookbook in the 1980's that had a dissertation on that. I have the revised edition but haven't been able to find the original again. It was a cookbook with vegetarian recipes(not vegan) using cheese milk and eggs. Also combining grains, beans, etc. in the correct combination to increase usable protein. A perfect example is beans and cornbread.?

Sorry here it comes, in moments of stress I become silly..
"Beans and cornbread had a fight. Beans knocked cornbread outta sight.."

I can't see that phrase without thinking of that song.. My dad used to sing it.

Another thought. I didn't know some places made an injectable. It's probably an old farm medicine too.

Same boat guys. I take echinacea in a shot glass of water every so often. And when there is a sick person in the household I usually do 3 to 4 days of it every night.

Sad that the use of Echinacea went down when antibiotics had been discovered. Good old medicine that our grandmothers knew is not always bad. I learned a lot about meds made of herbs, weeds, blossoms and other plants when I bought a sick horse. She suffers an old bronchitis and had a lot of mucos in her lungs. She was coughing often and not really rideable because of her lung disfunction. But she was a wonderful horse and so I bought her though I knew she was sick. After I owned her 2 years she was fully recovered and ran like a machine without lung problems. It was a great pleasure riding her ! Within these 2 years I saw a lot of other horses that suffers the same health problem like mine . These horses had been treatened by normal vets. Most of these horses went to the slaughter....
Btw: I love baked beans. The "American style" with tomato sauce !:)
