Echinaforce

I would recommend you change doctors.

Was at the ER, you dont get to pick the doc that sees you. Maybe the hospital should change doctors

Pretty sure it's homeopathic.
What does the bottle say?

It just says herbal remedy. And when googling you get a bunch of marketing sites for Vogel, the manufacturer. Nothing on it actually says homeopathic.

I usually don't take herbal remedies and I won't touch homeopathic ****... however I was sick last month, and I mean sweating out a fever. Lady at work recommended Echinaforce. I can't say that it was the reason i got better but I took it in conjunction with traditional Western medicine and after 4 days I was back to being human. When you are that sick there is nothing you won't take to get better.

Exactly how I feel. Total fever, vomiting, constant headache, back pain for some reason. I was def in the frame of mind of "I will do anything".

Anyhow I have taken it, thinking it can not do any harm - I hope.

I've been taking Echinaforce as an immune booster since childhood. Usually I take extra doses once I get sick for the same reason many people dose up on Vit C once they get a cold. Maybe that's what the doctor prescribed it for, and didn't intend it as a medicine?

Doc did mention something about boosting the immune system, I thought that was what the corenza-c was for (also prescribed) but I see that has asprin as well, so that's what probably helping with headache.

I used to drink this when a few years ago, but then looked it up and found that there's no scientific evidence that it actual works so I stopped using it.

Wrong. You did not look hard enough.
