Opioids Opioids and echinacea

[CrimpJiggler]

I find that echinacea counteracts the weakening of the immune system induced by opioids. In the past I never found echinacea to be effective in preventing me from getting sick but when it comes to opioids it seems to really help. At times when I can feel a cold coming on, I take some echinacea and a few hours later all symptoms of the onset of a cold subside. Anyone else here noticed this? Right now I seem to have got some kind of flu, despite the house being warm I feel like I'm freezing, have a headache and have this strange feeling that reminds me of the times I was sick in the past. Considering all that, I'mfairly sure I have caught some kind of microbial infection. I just found some echinacea extract pills I had lying around so I'm gonna put it to the test. The symptoms I have now just appeared when I woke up earlier so ordinarily these kinda symptoms would only get worse from here on so if they subside completely by tomorrow I think it'd be reasonable to assume the echinacea had something to do with it.

Didn't work at all, I'm worse than ever right now. Just walking makes my head hurt and even though I'm so hot I'm sweating, I feel freezing. Time to resort to the mother of all remedies, colloidal silver. Anyone that hasn't tried this stuff, I recommend trying it next time you have a flu/cold. Works every time. Whats interesting about it is mainstream doctors and the media are desperately trying to convince people that it has no antimicrobial properties in vivo and that there is a high risk of argyria that comes with the ingestion of it. I've concluded that both of those arguments are bullshit so I can't help but wonder why they're trying to cover it up. I suppose it all boils down to money. They know they can't rip people off with colloidal silver cuz anyone can make it themselves for dirt cheap.

Sounds funny to me

I find Echinacea hit and miss for treating colds, find a large dose of Garlic far more effective!

There is no convincing evidence that ecinacea works for colds..

Cochrane review

Echinacea is bullshit. Ive taken it before a cold came on and it did nothing. Ive never had the flu though while on opioids, but im sure it probably wouldn't do the trick. The Collodial Silver does work tho, like a charm every time.

Echinacacia may possibly potentiate Opiates, is metabolised by P450 in the Liver, any validity to this?
