Yes ECHINACEA can be used as a preventive. It is a great blood purifier.

Go to John Barron's site where he lists a lot of advantages of taking Echinasea as a preventive for various causes.

Answer to your question. Take five granules four times a day at regular intervals.

Avoid coffee, colas, garlic, highly spiced food etc.

Also, medicine not to be taken for atleast half-hour before/ after teeth brushing.

I have never used homeopathic ECHINACEA for this purpose in 40 years. You may be mixing up the herbal drops of Echinacea with the homeopathic ECHINACEA. The two, while having the same basis, act entirely different. ACONITE may be a good quick help for onset of any illness.

You would do better to get some powder vit C and take a little now and then on the tongue to protect the mouth/throat and nasal. Also Zink. When you get "gas" you will know you have had enough vit C. There are Homeopathic combo flu and cold remedies on the market. Always chew the tabs that they instruct you to swallow with water. Some have forgotton the action of homeopathy in the mouth. Digestion is not active for homeopathy.

Oscillococcinum is also a kit for flu like symptoms in the health food store. About $6 and there are several vials. The instructions tell you to take one whole vial for a dose. Wow, 1000 little pellets for one dose? So, if 10 will do, you will have to buy again sooner!! Use common sense. The new flu is not really flu as the media would have you believe.

Echinecia is generally used as mother tincture.No harm in trying it.As Pankaj says it is a great blood purifier.

However don't take the combination medicines.Read the post on combination medicines.

The glands control the functioning of the body.
A blood purifier, regulates the functioning of the glands including the thyroid gland.

Is there anything else you can recommend to lower thyroid antibody levels? Mine are now at 3900 (normal is below 60). i tried selenium 200mg/day and it didn't help. I heard Vit B12 is good. Can you recommend anything else that might help? Tk you, S.

Can you explain your thyroid problem in detail???

I have hashimotos thyroiditis with a TSH now of about 6.3 and T3 and T4 levels which are in normal range. I have been on thyroid meds for about 7 months now, but the problem with hashimotos is high antibodies which is what (I believe) is causing the thyroid problem to begin with. My symptoms are standard hair loss, cold sensitivity, brittle nails, brain fog, etc. I just increased by med dosage to 75mg/day because the 50mg/day dosage was not helping. I had hoped to get off these meds but it doesn't look like anytime soon. All this was diagnosed about 2 yrs ago. I read a book where a man decreased his antibodies to zero by taking algae and other vitamin supplements. A homeopathic dr here told me to take echinacea ang, which I have been taking 7 tablets/3x/day under tongue. I wonder your opinion if you think this will help. Thank you.
