Hi, Kirsteen. My name is Scott and I have been diagnosed with a myalgic
condition that none of my doctors can figure out. This condition M.E. sounds a
lot like what I have and I would like to know more about it. Do you have any
information or links that would be helpful for me. I, too, take colloidal
silver and it has kept me from getting real sick like I used to. Anyhow, I am
very interested to hear more regarding this disease and what can/is being done
for it. Thank you much.
Looking For Answers,
Scotty <><

Hi Kristeen. Who warned you? what happens to you if you take something? I
forget what echinacea does. Faith G.
I have M.E. and to be honest the jury is still out on whether that is an auto
immune disease or not. I was warned by several people I know, who also have
M.E. that they reacted badly to echinacea with a dramatic rise in their
symptoms. I'd mentioned that I used to take it along with massive doses of Vit
C at the onset of a cold (that was pre CS days) I couldn't swear to it offhand
but I believe the problems were highlighted by Dr Sarah Myhill. She's the UK
expert on M.E. and has been so helpful to sufferers recommending alternative
supplements, diets etc over drugs that the General Medical Council are trying
to get her struck off.
I've never tried echinacea (it's a herb that boosts the immune system) since I
developed M.E. so I've no firsthand knowledge. I reckon why risk it when CS
works so effectively with no side effects. I do have a friend with lupus and
one with R.A. who both report a complete flare up in symptoms if the take
echinacea. they've both been told by doctors that their immune systems are
already in overdrive so anything that strengthens them will only make them
worse.
I don't know exactly how CS works but it certainly doesn't have any adverse
effects on me for which I'm extremely grateful.
