Echinacea Passes 'Consumer Reports' Tests
Consumer Reports has long been interested in promoting safe use of supplements. Regarding echinacea, CR found the herbal "seems to do what conventional drugs can't: reduce the length of a cold." They do point out that echinacea shouldn't be taken by anyone with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or Type 1 diabetes, because there is a possibility it could worsen them by stimulating the immune system to further attack itself, as happens with autoimmune disorders. This also applies to people on immune suppressant drugs, because echinacea might counteract the medication.
