ded to support controlled U.S. experiments, Percival said.

"Our studies so far have shown only that we could enhance certain functions of the immune system," Percival said. "It's very important that we find out exactly what the active compounds are and how they work.

"Echinacea is a plant, an herb. It is very complex. It has all kinds of chemicals, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. There are thousands of things in this one herb that could be enhancing immune function.

"That's the important thing to find out, the mechanism by which these changes occur," Percival said. "We don't know yet. We just know that it happens."
