>While I hate to agree with Park about anything, recent reports that >echinacea is ineffective seem to be based on careful research. I have used a mixture of herbs, one of which is echinacea. When used at the first sign of a cold, it seemed to make it much less severe. Timing is critical however. IMHO, that is how they produced the desired results. There is a book which Kevin Tudeau is marketing. I think that it has more truth than fiction in the book.

Last year the allopath's (MD;s) killed 250,000 people with the unintended effects of their poisons. IMHO, the whole petro-drug complex is an intregal part of the G-dless,.

What I know for sure is that I have had several conditions, water on the elbow, sores in my mouth, and my friend the homeopath recommended a remedy which relieved both of them. The energy healing systems have survived the test of time because generations of people have received the relief that I have from their symptoms. It may be that Parksie is ignorant, OTOH, he's more than likely shilling for the people who pay his keep. IMHO, nobody could be as stupid as Parksie seems to be, and manage to get a PhD in physics. OTOH, the physics establishment has a reputation of picking the biggest dullards to teach, ditto for their mouthpiece.
