Efficacy of Ecenacia?

[SquishyDave]

Are there any trials of the efficacy of ecenacia, positive or negative results?

I tried google, but to no avail. So now I have to talk to you guys. SIGH.

Here's one and a compilation from Bandolier - bottom line is the effects against colds were modest to none, it probably is worthless:

HUZZAH for BTox!

Thanks, you're not at all like the evil, rude bastard everyone here has been telling me you are.

Also thanks for not making fun of me for grossly mispelling Echinacea.

I've seen worse missplellings

To be honest I was in a hurry so didn't check the whacky spelling, it would also explain why there were no google results. Normally I spell well, but alas, I just had a big lunch, and so am now very sleepy.
