Acknowledgements:

We greatly appreciate the works of James A. Duke, Ph.D., which is one of our primary sources of information. Dr. Duke is an ethnobotanist who spent many years working for the USDA. He roamed all over the world, studying medicinal plants and how they were used by the different cultures. He has seen first-hand how people use these herbs, and has used many of these medicinal remedies himself. As a result of his travels, his research, and his experience, he has come to believe that in most cases the whole herb approach is better than the pharmaceutical approach. Drug companies, in order to be able to patent their products, prefer isolating specific chemicals and compounds within the plants, then use only the parts they consider important to make their medicine. The holistic approach recognizes that more often than not, there are other properties within the plants that work together with the compounds that are known to be helpful, which when used together may be more effective and give better balanced results than when the compounds
are isolated. This bears out with our belief that God created the plants just the way they needed to be to serve the purpose they were intended for.

Even in the business of holistic herbal medicine, there are many that fill their vats only 10% to 30% of the way with herbal raw material. We fill
our vats all the way to the top, just barely covering the herbs with the liquids, to get a ratio of 1:1.

We have been making herbal formulas for 15 years. I use these same formulas for myself and for my family, so we take quality very seriously.

Echinacea

1-oz-ECHINACEA-Fresh-Alcohol-free-Liquid-Extract-Natural-Herbal-Immune-Cold-Flu
Our echinacea is extracted from the fresh flowers and/or roots of the echinacea purpurea plant, also known as purple coneflower. NOTE: Fresh is important! Most echinacea supplements are made from dried plant parts, which makes them far less potent than the fresh plant. Our echinacea may be either wild-crafted or raised in an organic garden. It contains no alcohol. Separation may occur; shake well before each use.

What it does:
Echinacea has been well documented as an immune system booster. It works by increasing the chemical recognition of an invading pathogen. The speed at which the immune cells migrate to the site of infection and destroy the invader is markedly increased. It is not a miracle cure, but it is a very important part of both prevention and recovery of colds and flu.

How to use it:
If you take generously at the first sign of illness it will work a lot better than if you take it later. However, even if you get a late start it can still lessen the severity and duration of many cases. Some studies show that echinacea works best if you don't take it all the time. These studies suggest that you should only start taking it when you know you have been or will be exposed to germs, or at the first signs of something coming on. Then, take 1 dropper every hour until symptoms subside. As an alternative, you can take  a teaspoonful three times a day.

Notice:
The consumer assumes all responsibility for any potential side effects or discomfort that may result from the use of this product.

More Specs:
This product qualifies as raw, unpasteurized, non-GMO, and naturally gluten-free. Made in the USA. Sealed for your protection.

Your Responsibility:
If you have any condition that needs medical attention, you should see a doctor. We cannot diagnose your condition, neither can we recommend or prescribe a solution to you, but wherever there is freedom people have always had the right to self-treatment. May this serve to better inform you of the natural solutions that are available, based on the latest studies and scientific research available.

Bear in mind that with self-treatment comes self-responsibility for whatever the outcome might be. Doctors never know, without experimenting, exactly which drug is going to help their patient the most. Similarly, herbs do not affect everybody the same way. People have even died from allergic reactions to peanuts and strawberries! It is very important to follow directions and to heed any warnings associated with natural remedies.
