Echinacea is supposed to boost your immune system. I think it might be psychosymatic, you THINK it works so it does. Vit C is more proven to boost it, but there is no reason to take a ton, your body can only process so much of it, and it does not store it, so 100-200% of the RDA is enough. "Tons" won't do much. I have found that the cold medicine Thera-flu works best. There are >1 flavors, but the lemon one is best. It's like hot lemonade, but works fast, as well as making you drink plenty of water, and I find it the best one. Of course, I am resistant to all medication. I can take 2 percosets with only mild pain relief (1 usually knocks out anyone I know that has had it). I take 4-5 aspirin at a time for a headache. So I end up taking Maximum strength night time Thera-Flu for during the day. Doesn't make me sleepy, but would you. And true enough MagicK's cure is guaranteed, if you mix it well with rest.

Edit: Oh, and of course Get Well Soon!
