Garlic is also a very powerful anti-viral agent proven in the laboratory. Many doctors feel it's the cure for the comman cold. It destroys various viruses that cause upper respiratory infections and influenza, the ones that antibiotics are useless against. Garlic destroys on contact, the viral infections of Measles, Mumps, Mononucleosis, Chicken pox, Herpes simplex #1 and #2, Herpes zoster, Viral Hepatitis, Scarlet fever, Rabies and others. So while some say that the reason you don't catch colds when you eat garlic is because no one will come near you, remember that garlic is also a powerful anti-viral agent. Some people ask: Why do I use Garlic instead of Goldenseal root? There is really no contest. Goldenseal is a mild anti-bacterial bitter herb. It is wonderful for the sensitive areas of the body and sinus complaints, but compared to Garlic, GET REAL! Echinacea and Garlic, not the fad-ish goldenseal, are the Herbal Dynamic Duo. Echinacea will e stimulate and strengthen your immune system to protect you, and Garlic will destroy the invader on sight.

Habanero pepper, which is unique to my formula, increases your blood and lymph circulation which makes this formula 10 times more effective than Echinacea by itself.

BOTANICAL CHEMISTRY:
Echinacea contains phytochemicals such as Polysaccharides, Isobutyl amides, Polyacetylenes, Cichoric Acid,. Echinacoside and Cynarin. These chemicals are known to cause many healing benefits such as Hyaluronidase inhibition which protects your cells by stopping bacteria, viruses and other disease causing organisms from being able to penetrate your cellular walls. These chemicals also stimulate and increase the number of your leukocytes (white blood cells) in your body. These cells, T-cells, B-cells, Granualocytes, Macrophages, etc, are some of the main components of your immune system that directly kill and eat bacteria and viruses. These and other chemicals in Echinacea increase phagocytosis, the ability and speed of the above mentioned cells to destroy and dispose of bacteria, viruses, fungus and other disease causing microbes. Echinacea increases production of gamma globulins. These are the chemicals that coat your B-cells which are used to make antibodies. Antibodies are chemicals that kill specific bacteria, virus and pathogens that can hurt you and make you sick.

Garlic contains over 80 different sulfur compounds which make it such a powerful infection fighter. It also contains allicin, which is one of the strongest disease and infection fighters found in nature.

DOSAGE:
The dosage is dependent on the situation. My suggested clinical dosages are as follows, which I might mention are double what most other armchair herbalists suggest. But these dosages created successful healings in my clinic year after year. Oddly enough, the most effective dosage and treatment using Echinacea is like a treatment of antibiotics. Echinacea must be taken steadily over a period of about 2 weeks for maximum immune protection.

FOR PREVENTATIVE IMMUNE BOOSTING. BUT WITH NO CURRENT HEALTH PROBLEM

For general protection and immune stimulation, especially when you are not ill. This could be even when you're feeling fine, but many around you are ill. People asked me for years, "How can you be around so many sick people all the time and stay healthy yourself?" Well, I live a very healthy lifestyle and take lots of Echinacea Plus.
    Use 2 dropperfuls (about 60 drops), 5 times daily until you have consumed 2 fluid ounces or 60 milliliters. This will take about 7 days. Do this      at the beginning of each month in the Winter season for the best cold and flu prevention.

YOU HAVE THAT UH-OH FEELING, NO SPECIFIC SYMTOMS BUT YOU THINK YOUR "COMING DOWN WITH SOMETHING"
When you're feeling out of sorts or a bit off, but it's nothing you can really put your finger on, this may mean that you are about to get sick. It also may mean that your body is fighting something off. But in either case it is a good time to give it some help. In this scenario use 4 dropperfuls (about 120 drops) 5 times daily until you have consumed 2 fluid ounces or 60 milliliters. This will take about 3 to 4 days.

ONSET OF FEVER. CHILLS OR ANY OF THE SYMPTOMS OF A COLD OR FLU

This is when you actually have some observable, clinical symptoms: sore throat, fever, nasal or lung congestion, toxic bite or sting, wound or trauma. Anytime there is anything wrong with you, your immune system must go to work.
     Use 4 dropperfuls (about 120 drops), 8 times daily (or every other hour you are awake) until you have consumed 2 fluid ounces or 60 milliliters. This will take about 2 days. You may continue this dosage for a week and then reduce dosage.

HIGH FEVER. SORE THROAT. YELLOW MUCOUS. COUGHING. SNEEZING

This is when you are suddenly sweating, have the chills, a cold, food poisoning or any serious illness: you are really ill. There is no time to waste fooling around; immediate aggressive herbal treatment is indicated. In this case use 1 fluid ounce of Echinacea Plus immediately. For those who might:have a hard time doing this, it can be diluted in juice or drunk 1/2 ounce one hour and the other 1/2 ounce the next. Remember that this is one ounce of alcohol so keep that in mind and don't drive. Then consume an additional ounce the rest of the day. The following days consume at least one, if not two fluid ounces of Echinacea Plus every day until you feel the infection break.
