[link\|http://www.webmd.com/content/article/109/109218.htm\|Web MD]: The herbal remedy echinacea may not live up to its reputation for fighting colds. Echinacea was tested against the common cold virus in healthy college students. Apparently, the herbal remedy flunked. It didn't seem to prevent or treat colds. The report appears in The New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers included Ronald Turner, MD, of the University of Virginia's medical school.

[link\|http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-echinacea25jun25,1,4172844,print.story?ctrack=2&cset=true\|Los Angeles Times] The herbal remedy echinacea can prevent colds and speed recovery from runny noses, coughs and other symptoms, according to a study published Sunday [in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases]that could renew interest in the discredited product. The analysis of 1,600 patients pooled from 14 previously published studies found that echinacea reduced the chances of catching a cold by 58% and shaved 1.4 days off the duration of a cold, researchers said. Of course those who claimed no effect are claiming "bad science" and these guys are "right back at ya". I'm sure that as in 99.83% of medical and nutritional disputes both sides are right on at least that one point. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
