I recently had a powerful experience with echinacea. We live in rattlesnake country in the foothills of Central California and our dog, Leo, killed one and got bitten on his face in the process. I had just read through Dr. Jones’s books and knew there was something in there about treating venomous bites, so I ran in to look it up and found echinacea mentioned along with something like mint as a catalyst. I happened to just have dried some echinacea flowers and mint, so I threw them in a blender along with some nettles and lemon balm, and then mixed the powder with some pork fat and gave it to Leo every 2 hours, along with some echinacea tincture I’d made. Within a few hours his swelling was down and within 2 days you could hardly tell he had been bitten. He has survived rattlesnake bites before, but it has always taken way way longer to recover, with several days of touch and go. This was incredibly fast healing, I was stunned. After that, I was certain I wanted to enroll!

I look forward to interacting on this forum and learning all I can.
