Instead of echinacea try Dr. D’s ARA-6.
It’s an immune supporter. I think I remember that O’s have a
generally hardy immune system and echinacea overstimulates it. ARA-6
is from the larch tree (like pycnogenol is from pine trees) and works
without overdoing it. ARA-6 comes in a loose powder thathas to be
mixed, and ARA Plus is capsule with quercetin, Vit C, a bit of
magnesium, calcium, solium and potassium.
I can’t speak for Vit E. It’s a blood thinner and O’s are bleeders as
it is. Before ER, I was taking it for hot flashes and it worked
great. But I got great, gushing nosebleeds which I couldn’t explain.
Some would wake me up in the middle of the night or I’d be standing
or sitting, doing nothing and WOW blood everywhere! When I got the
ER4YT book and saw the rationale for Vit E Avoid, it was really a
lightbulb moment.
Best to read all you can. Monitor the ER Message Neighborhood for
lots of good questions and recommendations and even the Ask Dr.
D’Adamo feature of his website.
