No direct or indirect correlation between Echinacea use and MS has ever been identified. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, however, does have a stated position on the use of Echinacea by people with MS:"...echinacea may stimulate the immune system. This is a theoretical risk for people with MS because their immune systems are already inappropriately stimulated. No study has been done to investigate this theoretical risk in people with MS."I would say that you would probably be OK using Echinacea to stimulate the immune system while you have a cold, but use beyond that period isn't a good idea. More study is needed before anyone can make a more educated recommendation.
