Hi Twiglet,

Just a suggestion - you could take 1000mg per day of vit C (on top of the multi-vit that you are already taking) - that should also help to ward off colds etc.

Re the echincea, you should be able to buy it over the counter from your local chemist - Boots will also sell it, as will Holland & Barrett. You can buy it in liquid form as well.

BTW, CHarles Clark's diet allows for an orange a day, so there's no good reason why you can't have one of those satsumas on a daily basis If you need to include it in your carb count, then a satsuma has approximately 8g carbs per 100g.
