Echinacea Supporters Fight Back

Echinacea loyalists aren't taking the echinacea study I blogged about last week (Echinacea Takes A Beating in New Study) too seriously.

• Study Critical of Echinacea Fails to Faze Some Users - NY Times article written by Anthony Ramirez
• Roxanne, one of my newsletter subscribers, pointed me in the direction of a rebuttal article written by Bernadine Healy, M.D. (Echinacea's War) published at USNews.com
• In Our Forums - Members are discussing the effectiveness of echinacea
  • "spiritheals" says Regarding the echinacea study, we need to look at this carefully
  • "JuneRussel" researches on her own and posts Conflicting Reports About Echinacea
• The Vitamin Lady says: "EchinaTCHOO! ... Poor old echinacea! It may be the victim of dirty tricks, but it's still in my repertoire of effective remedies."
