Question:
Why does it say not to use this tea that has echinacea for people with these conditions? If it says it helps: In Detox A.M. it is combined with dandelion root, sarsaparilla root, echinacea and red clover to create a tea that boosts your body's natural defenses and supports the healthy function of your liver, one of the most important organs for maintaining good health. you would think it would be a good benefit for people with thes conditions... what would echinacea do to someone that shouldn't take it?
**Echinacea should not be used by persons with autoimmune diseases, AIDS, HIV, collagen diseases, leukocytosis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, or tuberculosis.
Answers:
No, Echinacea actually BOOSTS The immune system. People who have autoimmune diseases already have wacko immune systems and DON'T need to BOOST their immune system...Their immune systems are already attacking their own bodies...echinacea would actually help it attack their body more.
I am taking a wild guess at this but maybe because when you detox, you are cleansing your liver and when you have those types of diseases, you have a higher chance for liver problems, so maybe they don't want them messing with thier liver too much.
