I've been using echinacea for several years.
It really does cut the duration of the cold.

Colds easily turn into Bronchitis in me, so I do all I can to nip them in the bud. Years ago, I found the trick. When I feel the slightest tingle of a cold coming on, I take Soloray Echinacea Root with Vitamin C & Zinc. Two in the morning and two in the evening. Two capsules have 500 mg of Vitamin C, 10 mg of Zinc, 850 mg of Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pupurea)(root), 50 mg Citrus Bioflavinoid Complex, 10 mg Hesperdin Complex (from lemon), 10 mg Rutin (from Buck Wheat), and 10 mg Rose Hips.
This tactic has worked to ward off or at least severely soften the blow of at least six colds over the last several years. I swear by it.

My prescription for not getting sick is plenty of cigarettes and ocassional 6-pack or two. I have only missed 4 sick days of work in 10 years, 2 of those were for an elective operation.

Use of echinacea, or extract of the purple coneflower, before the onset of full-blown symptoms of the common cold reduces the incidence by more than a half and the duration by almost two full daysYep, we have used it for years. We also drink Boneset tea when we have a cold or the flu.

Meta study. Watch for the FDA to decide you need a script. It's a relatively common herb. Just grow some if you want to.

I feel that herbal type remedies are going to be the next wave in health care....
I stumbled upon a penny stock (xkem) that makes a herbal supplement that reduces the symptoms for Sickle Cell sufferers drastically.
It is really getting the attention of the medical and big pharma community!
