Echinacea anyone?

[Uncle Wig]

So, Does anyone feel they have had success staving off a cold by taking echinacea?

If so, in what form did you take it?

edit: I'm aware that the echinacea study results are mixed, partly due to the inconsistency in the ways its prepared and which species of the plant is used. So that's what prompted to seek anecdotes from all of you.
