"It has been found in hundreds of medical and scientific tests conducted worldwide, to stimulate and boost almost evry aspect of your immune system. It helps the body create more immune blood cells....It is famous for cancer and should be used two weeks on and one week off until health returns...I have had many patients recover from cancer, some from AIDS and other degenerative diseases, and all of them used Echinacea as a foundation part of the program."--Dr Richard Shulze

Echinacea PREVENTS Colds & Influenza
''It helps the body create more immune blood cells,
actually increases T-cell counts, helps increase macrophage production and
activity (eating ability), stimulates production of interferon and interleukin
I, and it seems to protect cells from invasion. I have heard it is even being
used in Germany as an intravenous-injection for immune depression and
degenerative disease. In fact, the Germans have run tests on Echinacea showing
great immune enhancement using these poor quality extracts. Just imagine the
miracles when you make your own or use a great quality one.
For a tincture, a minimum dosage is 60 drops (2 dropperfuls)
3 times daily or 180 drops (6 dropperfuls) a day. Take this dosage for two weeks
straight, rest one week and repeat, if necessary. In serious conditions
this dosage can be doubled, even quadrupled up to 2 dropperfuls every hour of
the day. I have personally used one ounce per day for a super-immune blast.
Echinacea and Garlic are a dynamite duo and I highly suggest they be used
together. I suggest anyone on Echinacea consume at least 3 cloves of garlic a
day, also.
Echinacea is a specific for when you have a cold, flu or
fever. It’s also for fighting any type of infection, heat or swelling. It is
potent for any toxic bite or sting. You can also use it externally. It is famous
for cancer and should be used two weeks on and one week off until health
returns.
I have had many patients recover from cancer, some from
A.I.D.S. and other degenerative diseases and all of them used Echinacea as a
foundation part of the program.
I had a woman come into my clinic who had an infected,
swollen sore throat for 3 1/2 months and the doctors had given her every drug
and antibiotic under the sun; nothing worked. Her immune system was shot. She
used Echinacea tincture for 2 days and it was gone and never came back. I
have had patients with chronic infections for years get almost instant results
using Echinacea only for a few days.'' ~ Dr Richard Shulze
The American Indians used echinacea extensively for
hundreds of years. They used it for all types of disorders but especially for
wounds and rattlesnake bites. They knew that it increased the body’s ability to
recover from illness and injury, but also protected the body from poisons and
toxins.
“Dr. King was a famous doctor at the turn of the century
whose wife was cured of cancer by taking echinacea tincture. The doctor's
regular herbal medications did not help her.” It's a very
interesting story. In the late 1800's, there was a man named Joseph Meyer from
Pawnee City, Nebraska. He was a peddler of various goods by wagon and he
learned the virtue of a Kansas root from his Plains Indian friends. He made and
bottled a tonic of alcohol from this root and sold it as a cure for everything
that seemed to be. He travelled the west in his wagon selling this tonic
and became quite famous both as a healer and showman. As the story goes, he
would let live rattlesnakes bite him on stage to prove the effectiveness of his
tonic and it seemed he never got ill. This is where the name snake oil
peddler originated. He also claimed that his tonic would cure cancer. It seemed
to, and he claimed it was good for everything from mad dog bites to the plague.
At the end of the 19th century, he decided he would like to
know what this root actually was so he shipped off a case of his tonic to
Professor King, one of this nation's leading doctors at the turn of the century
and author of the famous King's American Dispensatory. Professor King
laughed at this request, stuck the bottles of snake oil tonic under a bench at
home and wrote Joseph Meyer back and told him what an idiot he was to think that
an herb could be identified from a bottle of tonic and to send the whole plant
to his laboratory if he wanted it identified.
In the meantime, Professor King's wife was dying of cancer
and wasn't getting better, despite all that he was doing trying to save her.
He had the best medicines of the day. His friends and colleagues, especially the
Lloyd brothers of Cincinnati, Ohio made what was then, and still is considered
today to be, the highest quality and most effective herbal preparations in
America. But nothing helped Professor King's wife and she was slipping away.
Joseph Meyer sent off the plant and Professor King shelved
it. A few months later, professor King's wife had a full recovery from cancer.
He was overjoyed, of course, and questioned his wife. He told her that he was
glad that his medical advice and prescriptions finally worked. He was shocked to
hear that she had given up on his medical advice months ago, stopped using his
prescriptions and started using snake oil. At that time, no echinacea
preparation was sold or ever heard of in medicine. In 2 years, it became one of
the most widely-used tonics by doctors in America. It was only abandoned when
the A.MA. destroyed herbal medicine in this country and drove the over 20,000
practicing herbal doctors out of business. Unfortunately, most modern
herbalists I meet don't like to hear or tell stories about echinacea curing
cancer.
