A member asked:
Is echinecia or vitamin c better for immune health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamin C : Everyone needs vitamin c; vit. C deficiency leads to poor immune function. High doses, esp. Iv, can help treat many infections. See http://www.Leaflady.Org/more2c.Htm echinacea appears to help us fight colds but is not appropriate for everyone; it can aggravate certain autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis & interact with certain meds.
