Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Besides echinacea and total tonic, Astragalus is a popular immune boosting herb that is not well understood by most. It is probably the herb of choice for anyone needing to restore T-cell counts, something almost as important to cancer patients as to those with AIDS. It does not seem to have any direct effect on malignancy, meaning it is not cytotoxic, but it strengthens the immune system in such a way as to make the battle with cancer somewhat less taxing on the patient.SuziRob Combis <rcombis wrote: I was wondering what the best brand of Echinacea was to buy at my local health food store?
