It turns out that everything you said re CS, I concur in.  But when you
mentioned the on again/off again technique re: echinacea, I have to object.
There is some good citations that pointed that the original thesis regarding
echinacea was flawed and it is now concluded that you can take it
continuously without a problem.  Treat it like food and it will be used by
the body as needed.  I've been using it continuously and it works when it
has to and when it doesn't I just don't see anything.  Dosages have been
revised upwards to some very heavy amounts and I have been there and done
that too.  Dr. Richard Schwarz is an expert on this subject and he talks
about using 1 oz. shots of the tincture per dose to really hit serious illness.
Hope this helps.
