Immunity: New Research Gives Echinacea A Glowing Report
Q: What's worse than suffering the discomfort and congestion of a common cold?
A: A flawed study that encourages you to avoid a herbal remedy that reduces the duration of the common cold.
Getting all prestigious with it
About two years ago, I told you about a study that found the herb echinacea to be ineffective in preventing or treating the common cold.

Unfortunately, all that prestige helped convince consumers that the study was sound and echinacea was ineffective. Sales of echinacea quickly dropped off after its publication.
Of course, the mainstream media ignored the most glaring flaw of the study: The dosage used was about one-third of the typical recommended dosage.
