Members,
It is always important to check with your doctor when considering the use of natural alternatives!
For instance, for some echinacea is great for fighting colds but for others with certain conditions it may produce the reverse effect and suppress their immune system.
Just like any medication, natural alternatives have the potential to:
* Decrease the effectiveness of your medication
* Increase the effect of your medication
* Interact with your medication and produce dangerous side effects
* Aggravate your medical condition or be detrimental to your current state of health
* Produce an allergic reaction
So talk to your doctor, better to be safe than sorry.
