echinacea seems to help me.When I feel it coming on I take a couple caps 2x a day for a couple of daysbut I can usually feel an outbreak before it happens.I think CS helps too but I found Echinacia first.I like Echinacia augustifolium best but purpurea will do. I like to prepare a tincture with both austifolium and purpurea ,1/2 cup each in a jar with fill jar 50-50 with everclear and a good unclarified apple cider vinegar. I let this sit in a cupboard fo a couple of months then separate the dregs and decant as needed into dropper bottles as needed.I useally put saranwrap between the jar and lid to protect it from the vinegar.I give the jar a swirl every day till decanting. You can use 100proof vodka but use 3/4 vodka to 1/4 ac vinegar..Sometime I make a jar of each ,one with everclear and one with vinegar then I stain each and switch liquids before final strain and decanting. Some times I will make a strong suntea of the echinacia s and with 50-50 black tea-greentea(Camelia sinences) a cup of barbados raw sugar i let a kombucha mother work her magic.Kombucha seems to do her thing with every herb I have thrown at it except avoid aromatic herbs like mentha and such as they do harm to kombucha.I suppose that CS would probably kill a kombucha but probably could be taken together.I had polio in the 50's and Cs helped and the other things above have helped with the reaccurring nemisis of these pesky sort of hiding-out kind of viral ambusher bastards that sort of pop-up on you from time to timeThe echinacea seems to stop colds from running their course at least that has been my experience but CS seems to do this also.I only use distilled vinegar for cleaning glass and never as food.I get my lycine from high lycine cornbread,mmmm.
