Defective Study Finds Echinacea "offered no benefits"
However, 30,000 OTHER studies found Echinacea DID have value.
Excerpts from
The University of Virginia Medical School showed the world how easy it
is for "Big Pharma" to buy the appearance of science, from a
University, with their so-called "Echinacea study."
[Flaws in the study:]
1) Rather than using commercially available Echinacea extracts,
the researchers prepared their own extract...
2) The dosage used in the "study" was less than a third of normal
Echinacea dosages found in commercial Echinacea products and
recommended by practitioners of herbal medicine...
3) All of the subjects in the "study" were college students, which
in itself is a serious flaw, since participants are hardly
representative of the general population that uses Echinacea
supplements...
