You'll LOVE the echinacea - there's just nothing like NEVER having to have any kind of cold/flu/infection...WITHOUT having to alter/kill our natural beneficial bacteria (which also increases the strength of our own immune system). Yep, Dr. Schulze s are the best on the market. But like he says "anything you make yourself will always be better than anything you can buy"...and that includes his. Anybody that's watching their bottom line simply can't afford to have thousands of gallons of tinctures sitting on the shelves for very long (the minimum should be two weeks, but there's only 4-5 major suppliers that even tincture their tinctures for that long). Ours? The current gallon we're harvesting/pressing from has been tincturing since the 1st new moon of Nov 08 - that's over 5 months compared to two weeks. Oh yeah, what we all can make at home is ALWAYS more effective than anything we can buy.

Killing off the bad guys technically works (most times), but it deprives our body/immune system from learning the invader's "code" and how to kill it...which means the next time we're exposed, there's still no immunity...(which sells even more Antibiotics , Colloidal Silver and "killer natural products" that do nothing to bolster our immunity AND alter the natural terrain of our bodies). Grrrrr. Besides, there's ZERO reason to ever take anything that alters the tiny life forms on which we're symbiotically dependent...when there's fresh garlic. Garlic is the most effective anti...bacterial, viral, fungal, parasite known to man, it's cheap, it has all KINDS of other health benefits - and it does NOT kill, harm or destroy any of the good guys.

Rick n' I have been married 13 years, and in that time we've had 3 colds & 1 bout of the flu between us, and all those were BE --before Echinacea-, back when all we knew was 'high dose Vitamin C'. My sister has four lil' uns (15,14,10,5) and since I turned her on to Echinacea (and she learned when/how to use it)...this last year when they did their income tax? The ONLY medical bills they had were for 'trauma' - not ONE "infection" that required a trip to a doctor. That's pretty impressive for a family that's just learning to get off the SAD diet/lifestyle.

AND, echinacea increases our macrophage population...and those lil' guys are our bodies first line of defense against cancer (and all cell mutations). Check it out when you get the time:

Someday I'll find the time to 'tell the story' of how we ended up with a full-scale "herbal apothecary"...and 'making a few bucks' actually had nothing to do with it. Of course, making bucks is something our creditors appreciate, but keeping the prices affordable and getting people healed is the focus. If I had MY druthers, I'd druther that everyone get a few things that they need from me, and then learn how to make it all for themselves...and then they'd be able to start sharing them with all their friends & relatives. (And I get to accomplish my goal of 'changing the world one person at a time' all that much faster! And of course, get more people away from the grips of the 'medical industry'...WOOHOO).

Big hugs -
