Here's a story about Echinacea.
A friend of mine who has CLL not CML was seeing the same hematologist as I
and her white count was just going out of control.
He kept asking her if she was doing anything or taking anything different?
Finally she owned up to taking Echinacea and his response was NO!
I do know that it is suppose to enhance the immune system and it does target
the white cells. Which is obviously what caused her white cells to go so
dangerously high.
So with that being said I wouldn't touch the stuff folks. Usually the way
they know we have CML is because our white cells are higher than they should
be so we don't need to do anything to cause them to go out of the normal
range and I do believe that's what you'll get from Echinacea.
I also am careful with certain energy/ vitamin drinks as they too have
things like Echinacea in them. Actually the only 2 I even consider drinking
are the Propel and the Fruit 20 waters which have a few safe vitamins in
them.
Happy Holidays everyone!
